Turkey: Gradual recovery in IP

Turkey: Gradual recovery in IP

At 1.6% y/y, February’s industrial production (IP) index was slightly below the market consensus and our expectation of 2%. On a seasonally and calendar adjusted basis, IP increased by 1.5% m/m, following a rise of 2.4% m/m in January and offset the 3.5% m/m contraction in December. The weaker-than-expected IP data in February hint that the economic recovery is likely to be gradual and slower than envisaged, despite the CBRT’s monetary easing. Yet, we expect the pickup in the manufacturing activity to become more visible in Q2, as suggested by the strong pace of credit growth and above 50 PMI readings.

Growth of real GDP, as measured by its monthly proxy Imacec, decelerated from 6.5% y/y in January to 3.8% y/y in February. This is in line with our 3.9% y/y forecasts but falls well short of the 4.8% y/y median estimate from the Bloomberg survey.

Texas Refinery Is Saudi Foothold in U.S. Market

Texas Refinery Is Saudi Foothold in U.S. Market

PORT ARTHUR, Tex. — It is hard to imagine the desert sands of the Persian Gulf being any farther away than from this swampy refinery port known for Cajun food, sport fishing and being the birthplace of Janis Joplin.
But right in the middle of town stands a strategic outpost for Saudi Arabia's global ambitions, although one that the Saudis appear loath to publicize.

BNP Paribas

By James Williams – Prior to the global financial crisis the ability for European corporates to finance themselves via leveraged loans was dominated by a prevalence of collateralised loan obligations (CLOs): in 2007, at its peak, the CLO market bought up two thirds of the USD166billion of leveraged loans issued that year, according to ratings agency Standard & Poor’s.

Pimco's Bill Gross Looks at the Man in the Mirror

Pimco's Bill Gross Looks at the Man in the Mirror

Senior Editor, CNBC.com

When Bill Gross looks in the mirror, what does he see?

In his latest monthly "Investment Outlook" commentary, the Pimco chief waxes philosophical. He questions whether he and other legendary investors are really all they're cracked up to be. Maybe guys like Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Ray Dalio were just lucky guys in the right place at the right time.
