#FX Should #INR be compared to the #EURO, #JPY and #GBP ?

Thanks for asking your question…

Common #Narrative that #INR has done well when compared to the #JPY, #GBP and #EURO. It’s a Entirely FLAWED Argument and many Global Macro guys must be laughing at our TV Experts.

WHY?
Let’s look at JPY. This country runs a large current account/trade surplus. Yet it’s currency depreciates ? Why. COZ the central banks wants INFLATION. And it doing YCC at 0.25%. It will continue to do YCC (Print JPY) until inflation hits a respectable amount. But Japan is
Growing old. And Old Economies don’t witness inflation. Coz Old people don’t consumer new cars, consumer durables or new houses… so commodity demand falls and inflation falls. So to drive inflation, they print money. So the JPY depreciates vs it’s natural tendency to Appreciate
Let’s also take the EURO. The EU current account surplus was €350 billion in 2021 corresponding to 2.4 % of GDP. The EU current account surplus was €209 billion with the United Kingdom and the deficit €125 billion with China in 2021. In 2022, that changed. Monthly CA of Europe
Considering 2022 Q2, the Euro Area recorded a current account gap of EUR 20.1 billion, compared to a EUR 1 billion surplus in Q1 2022.
And despite that it’s Currency has been depreciating ? Why ? Coz there is No growth and ECB has to print more money.
Now let’s look at China #CNY. They also had a Current Account Surplus. But yet unlike JPY and EURO, the CNY has barely depreciated. Let’s look at the last 10yrs. There has been volatility but overall almost ZERO depreciation vs the USD.

Why ? China has growth & hence Inflation.

Given how the DXY has rallied, I thought it would be wise to have a look at why the USD is so important in the context of leverage. Very Handy THREAD

#Indian #CEMENT Stocks: When #NARRATIVE turns 180 deg SOUTH

Trigger: CCI Investigations (This time ITS DIFFERENT)

... A thread.. You will Enjoy it... its almost "fictional"
1/ For Years starting 2012, there have been accusations that the Indian Cement Industry worked as a "Cartel" given how resilient Cement Industry Margins were despite sharply falling UTILIZATION levels - The NARRATIVE that supported lofty Valuations given resilient Cashflows
2/ In 2016, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) imposed a $800mn fine on 10 companies for fixing prices, including the Holcim units and UltraTech, but the decision has been challenged since then at the Supreme Court (SC).

#ICICIBank: Interesting titbits from ICICI Q1FY23 ppt. Results were a few weeks ago.

1/ SIGNS OF RURAL STRESS ?? Rural loans grew JUST by 8.4% yy (does not even take care of Input inflation) for a Big bank growing fastest... vs Overall Domestic Loans grew 22% YY...
2/ RBI Rate hike of 40bps on May 4th shld have seen some impact on NIMs +vely in June Qtr given high share of External Benchmark (Repo Rate linked) Loans. Nims just +1bps QoQ (Retail/SME +24-33%yy vs low yielding Corp +14%yy shld hav also added to NIMs). Takes me to my next pt.
3/ Total Deposits declined QoQ (Rs10.64trn => 10.5trn) in a period of high Loan growth... the fight for deposits is gonna SPIKE BIG (HDFC merger effect yet 2 impact)..

P.S. FY YTD System Deposit growth weakens to 8%yy vs Credit growth a stellar @ 13-14% YY (WC Loans)

I am going to make a OUTRAGEOUS prediction... CRUDE OIL is gonna Rally like CRAZY starting October... and my Suspicion is that @IEA Weekly Inventory Data does NOT appear to add up to the Monthly Data which is released with a 8-10 week lag. is JULY Gasoline Demand < July 2020?
2/ I will make a THREAD on this, but let me start with an interesting tit-bit.... Jeff Currie from Goldman Sachs: "Today, commodity markets appear to hold irrational expectations, as prices and inventories fall together, demand beats expectations and supply disappoints."
3/ => basically there is a BIG divergence b/w PAPER Market and PHYSICAL market across commodities. PHYSICAL markets are tight and inventories are falling. Specific to Crude, I dont trust the weekly IEA Data

Interesting Charts on IMPLIED VOLS & the Market Fundamentals...

French electricity prices you ask yourself if a chart can "fall backwards" from becoming too steep? Nobody has a clue about where this is going. Eurostoxx 50 volatility index, V2X is relatively cheap in tht context Image
Reversal strategists are pointing out the VIX vs SPX gap, but these people do not trade volatility. Volatility is mean reverting by "nature", so don't buy into the "last time VIX was here..." arguments. Always use cheap(er) volatility in your overall strategy. Image
Vol "indexes" of Apple, AMZN and Google all hitting new recent lows... Image
