The Fed rate hike looms large for commodities

Commodity ETP Weekly - The Fed rate hike looms large for commodities Precious metal basket inflows hit 8-month high as FOMC meeting looms.

Commodity ETP Weekly – The Fed rate hike looms large for commodities

  • Precious metal basket inflows hit 8-month high as FOMC meeting looms.
  • Divergent oil flows favour Brent as pressure remains on crude prices after OPEC monthly report continues to show an oversupplied market.
  • Flows into copper ETPs continue as further supply cuts reinforce a tighter market in 2016. 

Inflows into Brent ETPs broadly offset outflows from WTI ETPs, although the outlook remains polarised. OPEC’s latest annual report continued to highlight the global supply glut, with output in November climbing 1% to 31.7mbpd. The market reacted negatively to the news with Brent crude oil closing below US$40/bbl for the first time since December 2008. WTI crude also reached a near 7-year low of US$35.80. Brent crude ETPs received inflows totalling US$18.7mn last week, broadly offsetting the US$22.1mn in outflows from WTI crude ETPs. Nonetheless, the headline total of outflows in WTI ETPs belies what we believe to be a significantly polarised market, with US$11.7mn of inflows into ETFS Daily Leveraged WTI crude oil (LOIL).

Energy sector ETPs received inflows for the fifth consecutive week, totalling US$205mn over the period.
Third consecutive weekly inflow into precious metal basket ETPs. Inflows into precious metals basket ETPs totalled US$14mn, the highest level since April 2015. While silver has yet to decouple from gold and is likely to range trade, platinum group metals (PGM) are being hampered by a weaker South African Rand. With South African production dominating global PGM supply, a weaker Rand is enabling miners to keep production elevated as it raises profitability. Political uncertainty is rising and the weaker Rand is likely to be a weight on PGM prices for the foreseeable future.

Gold ETPs break three week losing streak, registering modest inflows of US$1.2mn. Gold has been range trading ahead of the FOMC meeting this week, where an interest rate hike is expected. Near-term weakness could transition into medium term strength as inflation pressures build globally, and put downward pressure on real interest rates. Additionally, while the near certain rate hike could boost the USD and buffet the gold price (and commodities more broadly), we expect that the peak for the USD strength will occur in Q1 2015, turning a headwind into a tailwind.

ETFs Copper (COPA) receives third consecutive weekly inflows, totalling US$2mn. Following reports that Chinese smelters agreed to cut production, last week Freeport-McMoRan announced it is cutting 45,000 tonnes of copper, equivalent to around 0.3% of the global market. With the copper market in its fifth year of deficit, ongoing production cuts in the sector will continue to produce a tighter fundamental environment and we feel that it is only a matter of time before prices begin to respond.

Key events to watch this week.  The divergence in central bank policy is likely to be highlighted, with the FOMC looming large this week, with meetings also for the Riksbank, Norges Bank and the Bank of Japan. We expect a rate hike is a near certainty and that the market should begin to focus on the path of future tightening. We feel that the market is underpricing the magnitude that the Fed will need to raise rates in 2016 in order to counteract inflationary forces.

Are we about to enter “Hyperbitcoinization”?

Publicerad

den

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Trump recently made a public statement implying that 50 million Americans already held ”crypto”. The most recent surveys among US consumers seem to support this number.

It is no surprise that cryptoassets have become a major topic during the US presidential election as the parties have become increasingly aware that cryptoasset users could play a significant role at the ballot.

Both Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. are scheduled to deliver a pro-Bitcoin speech at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville over the weekend.

It seems as if cryptoasset users are not a small minority anymore that can be ignored.

Here are some recent US bitcoin and crypto adoption surveys for comparison (% of total population in brackets):

• Security.org: 93 mn (28%)
• Unchained: 86 mn (26%)
• Statista: 53.6 mn (16%)
• Morning Consult: 44.2 mn (13%)
• Finder: 38.4 mn (11%)

In general, cryptoasset adoption has been on the rise globally.

A recent global survey among institutional investors conducted by Fidelity even implies that 51% of surveyed institutional investors have already invested into cryptoassets such as Bitcoin.

Another recent consumer survey by Statista implies that approximately every 5th person (21%) worldwide has already invested into cryptoassets.

However, it’s important to highlight that among the top 10 regions with the highest adoption rates, 8 regions are developing countries.

So, cryptoasset adoption rates are even significantly higher among developing countries than in developed countries that often suffer from chronically high inflation rates and weak domestic currencies.

That being said, the data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

The reason is that technological adoption in general tends to accelerate at the threshold from the so-called “early adopters” to the “early majority” which is around 16% adoption rate based on the model of technological adoption famously put forth by Rogers (1962).

Global adoption rates are already at 21% while adoption rates in the US and Europe are at around 16% and 14%, respectively. So, there is a strong case for an acceleration of adoption rates in these regions and globally over the coming years.

Recent political developments in the US also imply that Bitcoin and cryptoassets are gradually becoming mainstream.

Trump has recently endorsed domestic Bitcoin mining in the US and both Democrats and Republicans have started accepting crypto payments for campaign financing.

The big success of the spot Bitcoin ETFs this year and the fact that additional types of spot crypto ETFs are being launched marks a significant shift in sentiment among US regulators in this regard.

In short, chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most-likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Bottom Line

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
