Morning Commentary
Overview: US equities are poised to gap 70 bps higher at the open but have given up their best levels
of the session after a rip-roaring rally for futures off 9:00 PM lows last night. The dollar is higher, rates
are bear-steepening, and front-month WTI tested its 50-DMA but was rejected intraday as gold runs up
against its own resistance. Global Economic Scorecard
Refunding: Today the Treasury market is braced for the quarterly refunding announcement at 8:30
AM, which announces the value of bills, notes, and bonds the government intends to sell. The pending
announcement will be roughly $4trn and include the new 20 year bonds that have not yet had an auc-
tion. Auctioned amounts have been rolling at a record pace as the administration funds the CARES Act
and makes up for a collapse in various taxes as job losses skyrocket.
Earnings: The biggest report today is Danish diabetes care provider Novo Nordisk, which reported Q1
EBIT 11.7% above estimates thanks to a 6.8% sales beat; the company also reiterated full-year guid-
ance and is up 1.5%. Two banks are notable reports as well with French lender Credit Agricole (+1.1%)
announcing €621mm in provisions (triple last year’s number), a revenue beat and small net income
miss, and a 0.7-ppt decline in CET1 capital to 11.4%. Italy’s largest bank, UniCredit, reported a €2.71bn
net loss thanks to a variety of special factors. Management declined to guide 2020 guidance, but did
say that net income in 2021 could get to 75%-80% of its long-term targets if the economy recovers as
expected. The stock is up 1% after an initial tumble. In Germany, BMW (-3%) reported lowered guid-
ance with 2020 auto EBIT margins of 0-3% versus 2%-4% prior while capex is forecasted to drop 30% or
more YoY in 2020; Q1 sales were down 6.4% YoY, but the company does have €19bn in cash on hand. A
final note: Siemens Gamesa, the wind turbine manufacturing player based in Spain, is down 1.8% after
reporting sales a hair below forecasts and an 81% decline in underlying EBIT; that said, management
expects wind “may be a winner” in EU recovery plans. Of note in the US, GM reported EPS more than
twice as high as analysts expected (sales 3% above estimates), ending the quarter with $33.4bn in Au-
tomotive liquidity and $24.9bn in Financial liquidity as the company targets a May 18th restart in the
US and Canada. COVID cost the company $1.4bn of EBIT in Q1.
APAC Markets: A strong session, with China back in action but Japan, Singapore, and Thailand
shuttered; markets were broadly higher including a 1.8% leap in Korea and 1.1% rise in Hong Kong.
KRW led local FX higher in a mixed day for the dollar. In China, you know things are bad when targets
get dropped, and that’s what the government is considering for 2020 GDP growth.
Europe Markets: We’ve got breakdowns of PMI and factory order data on the following pages, but also
wanted to flag plunging retail sales volumes in March released today by Eurostat: while the sales of
food, beverages, and tobacco rose 5% on a volume basis and online shopping sales rose 2.6%, textiles/
clothing/accessories were down 38.9%, gasoline sales fell 20.8%, and durables categories ex auto were
down at a mid-teens rate. Total sales volumes were down 11.2% MoM. This is basically consistent with
the sort of spending pattern shifts we’ve seen in the US.
European equities are getting lots of dispersion this morning with broad averages up a quarter percent
but multiple groups up 1% (Insurance, Resources) and down 1% (Oil & Gas, Travel & Leisure). Rates are
up 3 bps across the curve in Germany, Italian spreads are down, credit markets are flat, and EURSD is
down a third session in a row.

PMIs: Overnight data showed the breadth of services sector hits to the global economy, with two
countries reporting single-digit PMI readings in the month of April. India and Spain both saw PMI gaug-
es below 10, which we didn’t think we would ever see for any reason, from any country; to our
knowledge, the Indian number is the lowest PMI reading for any country in the history of Markit data.
The charts below provide summary data for Services and Composite (output-weighted Services and
Manufacturing) by country, and illustrate the breadth and depth of global activity declines in April.
None of this is really news, of course, but it’s still jarring nonetheless.

German Factory Orders: March data for the volume of German new factory orders was released this
morning by Statistisches Bundesamt, the German statistics agency. The results were bad, as is to be
expected, and are of course lagged, but do well to illustrate the unprecedented shock to activity that
COVID-19 represented. And remember, factories are relatively less impacted than services! That hasn’t
stopped a 32% decline in autos new orders, 10.8% drop in basic metals, and 16.4% decline in broad
machinery in the month of March. The overall decline in new orders was 15.6% in one month, easily a
record for one month, and remember that April results will be substantially worse than these numbers
based on PMI data.

Coronavirus: The number of COVID cases reported
nationally outside the epidemic ground zero in New
York and New Jersey continues to rise, though contin-
ued spread of testing also means that the test positive
rate has continued to fall under 10%. The ability of
states to weather peak health care system demand
and the spread of testing capacity remain positive, but
ultimately we want to see a continuation in the pattern
downward trend of deaths. States that reported new
highs in total case counts for the seven days ended
yesterday include Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Kansas, Wiscon-
sin, New Mexico, Arizona, Mississippi, and Montana.
Meanwhile Louisiana is a month from peak case counts
and running at 23% of that case load; New York is 25
days from peak and running at 38% of peak case load.

US Markets: Mortgage purchase applications rose 5.8% this week and have now recovered about 40%
of their decline off mid-March levels with increases in each of the last three weeks as the housing mar-
ket starts to bounce back. ADP jobs data today showed job losses of 20.236 million which was actually
a bit better than expected, but that’s little consolation when we are talking about a reading north of 20
million. To stay on top of all the latest reports, make sure to check out our Interactive Earnings Calen-
