Global Asset Allocation
11 July 2014
The J.P. Morgan View
What if we are in a 2% world?
• Asset allocation — We investigate the risk scenario that global growth
stays with a 2% handle, instead of the rebound to 3% plus we project.
Impact would make us favor income over growth assets and for the
moment keep us OW EM.
• Economics — Further cuts in Q2 Euro area and Japan bring global growth
to 1.9%, after already dismal 1.4% in Ql.
• Fixed Income — Despite weaker near-term data, our medium-term growth
outlook for the Euro area improves, keeping us long periphery vs. core.
• Equities — Divergent macro and flow momentum keep us OW EM.
• Credit — The US HG sector that has lagged the broader HG market most
is 30yr single A non-Financials.
• FX — We still expect the USD index to rise 1% in Q3, plus 1.5% in Q4.
• Commodities — Oil price to average $115/bbl and $120/661 in 2015-16.

• Risk assets are down from the peaks reached only last week, and bonds
rallied on little news beyond problems with a Portuguese bank. EM
outperformed DM in equities and currencies. The move does underline
that many investors expect a pullback in risk markets after the almost
straight-line rally of the last few months if not years. But most of these
same market participants also say they plan to buy on pullbacks.
• We are less worried about near-term disturbances and flows and more
about the medium-term outlook for economic growth. Over the past
three years. the world economy has grown only at a 2.5% pace, below
potential and thus not able to make up for what we lost in the recession.
Each year, we keep forecasting that growth will rise to a 3% handle, but
have been steadily disappointed. Until last year, we had at least clear
explanations for this, largely from fiscal tightening in Europe and the US
and fading productivity growth in EM. This year, though, growth has
collapsed even more, to a 1.6% pace in HI, with even fewer explanations
aside from the Japanese tax hike.
• The forecast remains that growth rebounds to over 3% from this quarter on,
but as investors, we need to investigate the risk scenario that we may
instead be in a, say, 2% growth world. The trending behavior of forecast
revisions, and thus surprises, would suggest there is more down than upside
risk on growth assumptions (chart p. 2), even as surveys do not confirm
this. This is not to say that we can eliminate upside risk of growth rising to
a 4% handle, as the 1990s US experience similarly saw steady up grades in
the second half of the cycle, after downgrades in the first (same chart).
• With the consensus steadily projecting 3% US and global growth, this view
should be in the price and instead a 2% growth pace should thus be a
surprise that requires asset repricing. We see two broad drivers of weak
growth — weak demand and/or weak supply — and both have similar
market implications: they favor income over growth assets.

Global Asset Allocation
The J.P. Morgan View
111/v2014
• Weak demand would essentially reflect unfinished post-crisis balance sheet
delevering by households, banks and governments. The market impact would
be relatively easy to judge as it is very close to, though not as bad as, what
happened in Japan post its leverage boom and bust over twenty years ago.
Economic growth in Japan fell to less than I% above population growth,
deflation set in, bond yields fell, credit spreads went to nothing, and equities
saw no capital gains throughout. We have argued here that low growth keeps
both volatility and policy rates low and is thus bullish for risk assets. But we
also mentioned that growth can become so low as to depress earnings and to
create deflation, inducing investors to prefer bonds, as happened in Japan.
• If indeed economic agents continue to delever balance sheets, then monetary
policy has no further impact on growth, as we learned in Japan. Only fiscal
policy, supply side reform, and/or time can redress growth. G4 central banks
would indefinitely delay rate hikes; bond yields would fall again; the search
for yield would intensify; equities would at best perform on par; Value and
income stocks would outperform.
•
A weak supply side, from low labor supply, a low supply of new capital, and
low productivity growth, is an alternative driver of a 2% growth risk scenario.
And indeed, we have seen these forces at work already in this cycle. Our
economists have lowered their estimates of potential global growth by 0.5%
since 2008. Taking out the effect of the growing share of EM, which has
higher potential, the drop in global potential is over 1%. So far, this did not
prevent global asset price inflation. If we continue to see lower growth than
what we expect and it all seems due to a fall back in potential. then we create
neither price deflation nor inflation. It will, though, significantly reduce the
return on capital, and with that, equilibrium real interest rates. In the US, it
would likely keep fed funds well below 2% for years.
•
What do we do about these risks? Both weaker demand and supply have in
common that they would boost income assets — better yielding fixed income
and income stocks again growth assets, primarily cyclical stocks. In our mind,
it should boost the currencies and assets issued by countries that pursue better
supply side reform. For the moment, this analyst thinks it should still support
an OW of EM assets, as they are better yielding and better valued, would
escape the threat of fast Fed tightening, and at least this year have relatively
better macro momentum.
Fixed Income
• DM bonds rallied this week, with 10yr yields 6-14bp lower in the US, Euro
area and the UK, on weaker than expected macro data and negative headlines
surrounding the parent company of a Portuguese bank. On the latter, we think
a lot of bad news has been priced on this story, and do not see major negative
implications on the Portuguese sovereign.
•
The weaker than expected industrial production data in the Euro area this
week led our economists to revise down their expectations for Euro area GDP
growth for 2Q14 and 3Q14 by 0.75% and 0.5% respectively to 1.0% and
1.5%. However, while these growth revisions reflect a more moderate near
term profile, medium-term we continue to see a broadening of Euro area
growth across sectors and countries. Indeed, we revise our growth forecast for
next year from 2QI5 to 4Q I 5 from 2.0% to 2.25% as drags from fiscal
tightening, weak credit and a high exchange rate fade (Taking stock of Euro
area grotoh: 2014 (lotto, 2015 up, Greg Fuzes' et al, Jul I I).
• US headline inflation has bottomed out and has been rising over the first
half of 2014, driven by rising core prices and a pickup in food and energy

inflation. We expect US inflation to moderate over the second half, to around
2.4%, while our economists do not expect core inflation in the Euro area to
pick up until 2015 at the earliest. We remain bullish on 10yr US TIPS, and
hold 10yr TIPS breakeven wideners, on a view that both inflation
expectations and risk premia priced in the TIPS curve should be higher (see
Monthly Inflation Outlook, Francis Diamond et al, Jul 10).
•
Taking together the outlook in the Euro area for weaker near-term growth, but
stronger and broader medium-term growth, subdued inflation and support
from the ECB's upcoming TLTROs, we retain our medium-term view for
tighter periphery spreads and stay long 10yr Spanish government bonds vs.
German Bunt, despite the near-tent noise.
Equities
• EM equities were about flat this week, while DM equities were down 1.5%.
Our DM economic growth expectations have been lowered significantly
over the past two weeks. We have lowered Q2 US growth from 3% to 2.5%,
Q2 Euro area growth from 1.75% to 1% on the slump in May IP and PMIs,
and in Japan, weaker than expected consumption and capex made us revise
down our Q2 GDP -6.5% from -4.5%.
• In EM. economic data have improved, especially relative to DM. EM Asia
looks particularly constructive, supporting our OW in Asia within EM. We
have revised up our Q2 GDP growth forecast for China from 6.8% to 7.2%
given the positive momentum in PMIs. This lift is expected to build into the
rest of EM Asia this quarter (GDW, July 3). Additionally, flows into EM
equities remain steady. In the week to July 9. there were net inflows of
S1.3bn into EM equity funds, greater than S0.7bn into US equity funds.
• Euro area core and peripheral equities fell this week, driven by bank
stocks. Sentiment remains negative on banks given recent litigation and the
events unfolding in Portugal. These developments support our recent exit
from the peripheral equity and bank trades and our refocus on DAX within
euro area equities.
Credit
• Credit spreads arc wider this week, with HY underperforming, especially
in Europe. FIG spreads are about flat on the week. Comparing current spreads
for different market segments to the trading range over the past 10 years, our
US HG credit strategists identify opportunities within HG credit where
spreads have not rallied as much as the broader market. Using this approach,
the tenor/rating bucket that has lagged the most is 30yr single A non-
Financials. Next cheapest is 30YR BBB non-Financials. 10YR non-Financials
have also lagged, but less than 30YR. The short end in non-Financials is very
tight, at or very close to 10YR tights (Ct/OS, Beinstein et al., Jul 7).
•
As discussed in the commodity section below, our oil strategists have raised
their price forecasts. Higher oil prices arc likely to be a net negative on EM
corporates as a whole due to the relatively low weight of oil companies as
well as the high weight of net oil importing countries. The oil & gas sector
accounts for 18.4% of the CEMBI Broad, but not all of the issuers in the
sector arc beneficiaries of higher oil prices. Only about 22% of the CEMBI
Broad is made up of issuers in countries that are net oil exporters and
where the economy would benefit from higher oil prices (JPI/ E tl
Corporate Cross-Product Daily, Hong and Beinstein, Jul 7).

rationale across currencies. There are no significant forecast changes this
month. We still expect the USD index (JPMQUSD) to rise 1% in Q3 and
another 1.5% in Q4, with significant dispersion across pairs. Those
currencies that should fall by year-end include (Q4 target in parenthesis) EUR
(1.30), JPY (106), CAD (1.12), AUD (0.91), NZD (0.85). BRL (2.35), RUB
(35.46), and IDR (12,100). Those that should rise include MXN (12.80), CNY
(6.15), KRW (1000), and INR (57.5).
•
Aside from the bottoming out of global inflation little has occurred at the
systemic level over the past month to affect the baseline view. We have
always held tame targets for the dollar index in 2014 given that Fed tightening
was more than a year away, thus leaving the dollar in that awkward phase this
year between the hope of being a high-yielder at some point and the reality of
being a low yielder now. Relative to the historical norm over the past four Fed
tightening cycles in 87, 94, 99 and 04, the current lead up to end of easy
money is proving just as erratic. The precondition for that rate normalisation
is consistent US economic growth each quarter and price pressures sufficient
to shift Fed expectations. That story is unfolding, but at a tediously slow pace.
• On a pairwise basis, dollar strength was and remains projected mainly
against 610 currencies where central banks are easing (JPY, EUR, SEK)
or likely to lag the Fed (AUD, CAD). For currencies whose central banks
lead the Fed now (NZD) or will do so in early 2015 (GBP), forecasts show
limited movement to convey a range. (The cable rate declines only because
the EUR/USD forecast does; otherwise sterling outperforms most currencies).
For the emerging markets, poor balance of payments positions were the core
driver for most of our bearish forecasts, such as for ZAR, RUB and TRY.
•
Importantly over the past two months, inflation appears to have bottomed
globally and in the majority of countries. For currencies, inflation as a stand-
alone variable isn't inherently good or bad. What matters is the real interest
rate environment created by central bank policy as that inflation trend evolves.
From this perspective, US real rates look low now since the Fed seems
committed to another year of zero policy rates while inflation is turning up,
but should firm later since the front end of the US bond market is so mispriced
versus the Fed dots (about 75bp for December 16). We expect this repricing
higher in real rates to occur by year end and support the dollar, but are less
confident near-term while inflation ticks higher and the Fed talks dovish.
Commodities
• This week, our commodity strategists raised their oil price forecasts from
$105/bbl in Q3 and Q4 to $115/bbl and $1 I 2/bbl, respectively. Forecasts for
the average price in 2015 and 2016 arc $115/bbl and S I20/bbl. respectively.
Oil price volatility is also expected to return to more normal levels over
this period. The move higher in price over the coming two years should be
driven by higher global demand as the global economy expands at a faster
growth rate as well as weaker supply growth, largely in Iraq and Libya.
•
Recent reports of a peace agreement in Libya between the rebels and the
government caused Brent to fall by around 5%. We think a quick and full
recovery in production is unlikely and we also think overall production
capacity is now lower due to damage to the oil fields. We also lower our
expectation for Iraqi supply because increased operational risks to foreign oil
companies mean investment in production will now likely be lower. In 2017,
the oil team assumes a global recession arrives, and expects Brent to average
between S60/bbl and $70/bbl depending on the severity of the recession (Oil
Market Monthly: Sweet Sixteen. Sour Seventeen, Fenton et al., Jul 9).

Investment themes and impacts
Low growth means money stays easy
The current US recovery is the slowest since
WWII. Global growth will barely exceed
potential. Easy money stays for a long time.
Low macro vol drives carry trades
ZIRP and low macro vol make earning risk
premia and carry very attractive
Rotate risk from over-owned and -valued
... to better valued and less owned risk assets.
Credit OWs are now small, and exposure is
moved to equity. EM and commodity roll.
OW EM across asset classes
Relative macro momentum is switching to EM.
EM growth expectations are stabilizing while
those in DM have come down badly. Investors
seem UW EM, while it offers better value. OW
EM across bonds, FX, credit and equities.
Avoid and hedge what is suspect
Our UWs are not just based on value and
macro momentum but also on what seems
uncertain, coming from event risk, such as the
Middle East and China, or from the unexplained
(fall in U-rate and 01 GDP). Hedges include oil
futures, UW US F I vs EU, (1W US equity vs
EM.
Past half-time in the global business cycle
June marks the 5th anniversary of the recovery.
Working hypothesis is an 8-year recovery. That
keeps equity rally on track, but makes the credit
