UBS 1/4: Don't expect the #volatility lull to last.
Wall Street’s most prominent gauge of investor anxiety, #VIX index of implied stock #volatility, closed at a fresh pandemic-era low near 16.7 last week. But we see reasons to expect periodic bouts of higher volatility near term
UBS 2/4: First, investors are likely to be torn between optimism over accelerating growth and worries over higher inflation. Second, optimism over the course of the pandemic is being tested by the spread of new variants of the virus.
UBS 3/4: Finally, we expect volatility to be driven by increased institutional and retail activity in the options market, along with the increased share of growth stocks in major indexes. However, investors can take advantage of this backdrop.

ING Bank 1/5: Latest #eurozone production figures are weak, but the future looks bright
Industrial production in the eurozone is being held up by input shortages at the moment. This will lead to weaker growth in the first quarter, but underlying demand is strong and that makes us
ING Bank 2/5: upbeat about prospects for the bloc as it reopens later in the year.
February industrial production showed a decline of 1% compared to January. Production had fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels at the start of the year but dipped back later.
ING Bank 3/5: The decline will mean that the manufacturing contribution to GDP may disappoint a bit given the strong performance seen in the fourth quarter, adding to our view of another GDP contraction in 1Q before the economic rebound starts.

Deutsche Bank 2/4: after there were 6 reported cases of a severe blood clot. Though this was among a total number of over 6.8 million who’d received the vaccine in the US, all of the cases happened in women aged between 18 and 48, with symptoms occurring 6-13d after #vaccination
Deutsche Bank 3/4: We should hear more on the issue shortly, with the CDC saying that they’d convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices today to look further at the cases. Nevertheless, the move is already having ramifications elsewhere,

OCBC Bank 1/4: Overall, the #DXY index was left south of the 92.00 support. This leaves the near-term technical picture bearish for the broad USD, with the immediate target at the 55-day MA (91.52). This round of USD weakness is EUR- and JPY-led, rather than cyclicals-led as in
OCBC 2/4: the case in early-Feb & mid-March. Overlay this with resurgence of confirmed cases in places like India & Canada, & the J&J vaccine set-back, this lack of reaction from the cyclicals may be a reflection that the vaccination / recovery positives have been fully priced in
OCBC Bank 3/4: Large short positions for the likes of AUD and CAD were pared among the non-commercial accounts were pared in 2H 2020, but there is no sign of net longs building this year. Overall, there is room to question the structural global recovery / weak USD theme.
