useful and relevant pricing benchmark in this regard, in our view. The Qatar 10-year sovereign bond currently trades at yields of 3.0%. However, Saudi CDS has been trading c65bps wider of Qatari CDS, which would suggest a 10-year Saudi bond yield of c3.65%. Current CDS spread levels suggest potential for some notch downgrades from Saudi Arabia’s current rating, as the market prices in issuance risk, volatile oil prices, hedging flows relative to the USD peg and the banking sector off-balance sheet wrong-way exposure risk. Saudi forwards, rates and CDS remain under pressure Domestic rates are under pressure with the 5y IRS spread over US at historically elevated levels due to structurally tighter liquidity. Budget consolidation could help take some of the pressure off as it would imply lower debt issuance needs. However, it would also imply lower deposit formation in domestic banks as fiscal retrenchment will impact private sector economic activity. Greater risk premium, issuance pressures and tighter liquidity will also keep CDS spreads elevated until oil recovers. Hedging against SAR devaluation risks remains strategically attractive given the risk- reward ratio. Data suggest a strained backdrop for external and domestic liquidity reflecting the combination of private sector dollarization, possible capital outflows, weakening deposit formation and the move higher in interbank rates. However, SAMA has already intervened through macro-prudential tools and may do so again if needed.

BofA Merrill Lynch forecasts USD strength and Trump fiscal stimulus impact on US growth

BofA Merrill Lynch forecasts USD strength and Trump fiscal stimulus impact on US growth The document provides macro‑economic projections linking President‑elect Trump’s fiscal and trade agenda to a stronger dollar and slower growth. It mentions specific figures ($2‑3 trillion tax cuts, 8‑10% USD appreciation) and a Fed official (Bill Dudley) commenting on policy implications. While the content is largely analytical and publicly available, it hints at possible financial‑market advantages for firms aware of these forecasts, offering a moderate investigative lead into whether any privileged actors acted on this intelligence. The lead is not novel and lacks direct evidence of wrongdoing, so it scores below the high‑impact threshold. Key insights: Forecast of an 8‑10% USD appreciation post‑election, potentially shaving ~0.5% off US GDP growth over two years.; Estimated $2‑3 trillion in tax cuts over ten years, with $200‑300 billion in 2017 alone.; Bill Dudley of the New York Fed noted stronger USD could influence monetary policy and Fed tightening.
