necessarily. Last summer, as equity markets rebounded in June and July,
Cyclical sectors actually underperformed. The thin grey line in the top chart
shows that Cyclical sectors have recaptured only a quarter of the
underperformance seen between March and August and thus provide a better
entry point. Position indicators suggest that investors are underweight
Cyclicals and overweight Defensives which is turn means that Defensive
sectors are more vulnerable to position unwinding.
• We introduced an underweight in US equities in mid October to position for
the US fiscal cliff risk. Obama's win makes it more likely that this risk will
intensify into year-end. Across regions we favor EM Asia and Europe vs. the
US. While the US is facing fiscal cliff risks, Asian equities are benefiting
from concrete signs that economic activity is rebounding in China. European
equities are benefiting from greater improvement in financial conditions,
although they are more vulnerable to noise around the Greek and Spanish
issues.
Credit
• US credit spreads edged wider in response to the fall in equity markets
following the US elections. US HG widened 7bp to I 60bp, undoing around
half of October's peak-to-trough moves. Similar moves registered in other
USD credit markets. At 107bp, the CDX.IG is now back to early-August
levels, even as the CDS-Bond basis moved back into negative territory with
corporate bond spreads again moving above CDS.
• Credit spreads may be repricing the risk of a fiscal-cliff induced recession in
2013. For context, we expect the eventual outcome of the negotiations to lead
to about 2% of GDP in fiscal contraction, not enough to tip the economy back
into recession in itself, and considerably lower titan the 4% drag under the full
enactment of all revenue raising measures and spending cuts currently set to
become law on Jan I.
• From our point of view, the elections confirm the status quo both in
Washington and in market conditions - i.e. we should expect more of the
same and it has been a great year for credit. Therefore, we see the current
dip as an opportunity to add risk, and expect spreads to continue to tighten
into year end, albeit at a slower rate than in recent months. We stay down in
quality and outline in GMOS this week some relative value arguments for
Euro HY vs US HY. On that front, European credit shrugged off the election
outcome, tightening marginally in the FIG space and widening very slightly in
the HY space.

USD/SEK in cash.
Commodities
• Commodities are up some 1% this week, led by precious metals, which
rallied almost 4%. The strong gains in gold arc probably due to the US
election result as Obama's victory means no change to Fed policy and so
continued QE and negative real yields. Gold also tends to gain when there is
high fiscal uncertainty, just as it did last year during the acrimonious debt
ceiling debate which cost the US its AAA rating. We stay long gold.
• Chinese economic data came out stronger than expected this week, providing
support for our view that Chinese economic growth has bottomed and will
rebound through next year. China's slowing activity growth has been a major
drag on commodities over the last few years and the improving economy is
what makes us long base metals.
• The expected rebound in Chinese growth does not imply that we will go back
to the double-digit growth rates that we saw before the crisis, and immediately
after. The periods when China's economy grew at a pace above 8% coincided
with very strong price gains on commodities, as it boosted global demand.
China's leadership is in the process of reorienting its economy towards
domestic consumption and to reduce reliance on exports and capital
investments. As a result, Chinese growth will likely settle in a 7°4-8% range
