CANADA – Douglas Porter


On deck today: The one indicator that matters in Canada this week is monthly real GDP for January, and it’s out at 8:30 this
morning. We and the consensus are looking for a solid 0.5% m/m gain, which happens to match the average increase over the prior
four months. In the event, that would mean the Canadian economy has powered ahead at roughly a 6% annualized clip since last
September. By any metric, that is a robust recovery, if it can be sustained for any length of time. By the way, the early read on
February GDP looks good too---employment was strong (+60k full-time jobs), housing starts rose again (+6% m/m, and +70%
y/y), and auto sales rocked (+25% y/y). If we get what we think we’re going to get on GDP today, the BoC’s forecast of 3.5%
growth for Q1 is fading into the sunset (we’re at +4.7% and that is looking light). However, we would add that the BoC then saw
the economy perking up to a 4%+ clip through the rest of this year, so it’s not like they were bears on the growth outlook.

StatsCan will also release its “other” employment report today, the survey of payrolls and hours (similar to the establishment
survey). Since it’s for January, and the U.S. is releasing its March payroll survey on Friday, you can appreciate why it’s not a
gripper for the markets. Despite that wee timeliness issue, it still does act as a fact-check for the Labour Force Survey. It has spun
out consistent gains in the past four months, averaging 21,000, while the LFS reported average gains of 15k in that time (with two
big up months, and two down). The LFS reported a job gain of 43,000 in January.

Provies: Quebec unveiled its 2010 budget yesterday afternoon. The Province expects the deficit to widen slightly to $4.5 billion,
from a downwardly revised estimate of $4.3 billion in the fiscal year ending today. Borrowing requirements in the coming year will
total almost $13 billion, versus $15.5 bln in FY09/10. Quebec unveiled a number of revenue measures as well as spending restraint
to aim for a balanced budget within five years. Notably, the provincial sales tax rate will now climb another percentage point at the
start of 2012 to 9.5%, on top of the planned 1 point rise at the start of 2011. There will also be a dedicated health care tax (rising to
$200/adult by 2012), and a 1-cent per-year increase in fuel taxes. Robert Kavcic’s full write-up was circulated yesterday evening
and will be on our website this morning.

Last day of Q1: With just one session to go in March, it looks like it will be a solid month for the TSX and the Canadian dollar,
with both up just a little more than 3% to this point. That puts the C$ close to the top of the global leader board (also on a year-to-
date basis), while the TSX has trailed a bit behind most other major markets this month (the S&P 500 is up 6.2% in March, the
fourth best month in the past five years). But the big story in Canadian markets this month has arguably been the sell-off at the
short end of the bond market, which has seen the 2-year GoC bond yield vault up 47 bps since the end of February. A relentless
wave of stronger-than-expected domestic data has driven the sell-off, with today’s GDP report primed to pile on.

Did it seem like a long month? Today is the 23rd working day of March. Little-known factoid:
March is the only month of the year that can possibly have as many as 23 working days, and it
only happens when the month starts on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, and only when
Good Friday is in April. In other words, in a typical decade, maybe 4 months out of 120 will
have 23 work days. So, yes, perhaps it did seem like a long month---to give you a sense how
long, the first day of March was the day after Canada 3 USA 2 (OT).

From the other headlines: “Athabasca Oil Sands Corp. will make a $1.35-billion debut on the
Toronto Stock Exchange next week, among the largest Canadian initial public offerings ever.
The offering is almost twice as large as expected when it was announced earlier this year,
owing largely to strong interest from Asian institutional investors based on the endorsement of
Athabasca's major backer, PetroChina Co. Ltd. Athabasca will price the offer at $18 a share,
which is at the top end of estimates.” Globe and Mail (Link to Article)

“The head of National Bank of Canada says the industry watchdog is standing in the way of
higher dividends, making him the first senior banker to speak out against what has become a
growing concern for many investors. Since the financial crisis, the Office of the Superintendent
of Financial Institutions has been warning banks and insurance companies not to do anything
to jeopardize capital levels, such as boosting dividends or launching major acquisitions until
regulators worldwide can agree on a new set of rules for the industry. But after last year's
near-record bank profits, many investors are growing impatient with OSFI.” National Post
(Link to Article)

“Some of the world's biggest miners are forcing Asian buyers to change the way they purchase
several key commodities, a boon to producers but a move expected to increase prices
throughout the global economy. From potash to coking coal and now iron ore, several mining
companies have pushed through dramatic changes in how these products are priced and sold,
forcing users in countries such as China, Japan and India to pay more for specific resources.
The latest move came Tuesday when BHP Billiton Ltd. announced it was no longer negotiating
annual iron ore contracts with a “significant” number of Asian customers and will instead set
prices on a short-term basis.” Globe and Mail (Link to Article)

“Honda plans to restart a second shift and add more than 400 jobs at one of its Alliston
assembly operations early next year because of improving demand for some models. Honda of
Canada Manufacturing, the country's fourth biggest automaker, confirmed Tuesday it will
gradually hire new workers and recall some "contract associates" this summer for additional
production at its No. 2 plant.” Toronto Star (Link to Article)

UNITED STATES – Jennifer Lee


The anticipation ahead of this Friday’s nonfarm payroll report is building. The various jobs
measures seen recently have supported the view that the worst of the job cuts are behind us and
that the jobless rate has appeared to have peaked. See my AM Charts for what has been noted
so far over the past five days….the continued decline in the # of Americans apply for
unemployment benefits, the # of Americans who remain on unemployment insurance, and a
survey of 5,000 households on how they view the job market (Plentiful? Not so plentiful? Hard
to get?). They suggest that the unemployment rate has peaked, although, as Chairman Bernanke
reminded us last week in his testimony to the House Financial Services committee, the
“employment situation is very weak”, and rampant joblessness is a “tremendous social and
economic problem in the United States today". He also noted the adverse impact of long-term

unemployment, which has risen sharply over the past year...“If you’re out of work for six
months or a year, then you begin to lose your skills…You begin to become very unattractive to
employers, and it’s clearly a long-term negative and not just a short- term negative.”

In any event, the ADP national employment report on private sector payrolls is out at 8:15 am
ET and will be eyed warily since it won’t be distorted by the government’s census hiring. Its
reported 20k payrolls drop in February nearly matched the BLS’ reported 18k drop in private
sector payrolls during the same month, the smallest gap in well over two years. Of perhaps
more interest will be the breakdown of the results……between small (still cutting), medium
(now hiring) and large-sized (still cutting) firms, and between goods-producers, service-
providers, and manufacturing.

The manufacturing portion of the ADP’s survey showed a 3k increase in jobs in February, the
first since the recession began. This is one sector (albeit a smaller part of the U.S. economy)
that is helping drive the recovery, and we should see more evidence of that mid-morning, with
the release of the Chicago PMI and factory orders.

Backgrounders:

“Bonds Cap Epic Comeback: Investors flooded risky companies with money in March even as
the government prepares to shut down a key engine driving one of the greatest corporate-bond
rallies in history. A total $31.5 billion in new high-yield debt, otherwise known as junk bonds,
hit the market through Tuesday, exceeding the previous monthly record in November 2006.
Partly propelling the activity: The Federal Reserve's massive mortgage-buying program,
which comes to an end Wednesday. By buying $1.25 trillion of mortgage securities, the Fed
absorbed a flood of assets that otherwise would have needed buyers. That kept money in the
hands of investors, who went searching for something else to buy. The Fed's underpinning
encouraged investors to seek riskier, higher-yielding securities. A natural choice: corporate
bonds.” Wall Street Journal, page A1

“Obama to Open Offshore Areas to Oil Drilling for First Time: The Obama administration
is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of
Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first
time, officials said Tuesday. The proposal — a compromise that will please oil companies and
domestic drilling advocates but anger some residents of affected states and many environmental
organizations — would end a longstanding moratorium on oil exploration along the East Coast
from the northern tip of Delaware to the central coast of Florida, covering 167 million acres of
ocean. Under the plan, the coastline from New Jersey northward would remain closed to all oil
and gas activity. So would the Pacific Coast, from Mexico to the Canadian border.” New York
Times, page A1

OVERSEAS – Jennifer Lee


So ahead of the North American open, European bourses are trading tentatively higher while
Asia finished the session in the red. News of Ireland’s banks needing more capital ($43 bln) in
what Ireland’s FM describes as beating “our worst fears” thanks to the banking sector making
“appalling lending decisions that will cost the taxpayer dearly for years to come” is adding to
the uncertainty. Plus, almost all of the economic data released overnight failed to match
expectations…..some good, some bad…and that is throwing some uncertainty into the mindset.

In Europe, there was a number of better-than-expected jobs-related data out morning. German
unemployment actually fell in March, with the 31k decline the fourth in a row (consensus had
expected an 8k increase), which helped trim the jobless rate a tick to 8.0%, the lowest in just
over a year. In Italy, the jobless rate also unexpectedly fell a tick to 8.5% in February, while
for the Euro region as a whole, the rate of joblessness rose 0.1 pts to a 12-year high of 10.0%
in February. So with high unemployment for the region as a whole, price pressures should
remain muted, although that didn’t happen in February. Thanks to higher oil costs, consumer
prices in the Eurozone jumped from 0.9% y/y in February to 1.5% y/y in March, the quickest
pace in over a year. This is a little surprising, despite the above-expected read in German CPI
earlier this week, and for Italy, and is helping give the EUR a lift this morning.

The AUD, on the other hand, had some of the wind knocked out of it after some very
disappointing data from Australia showed that the RBA’s rate hikes are having some effect.
Retail sales unexpectedly fell in February, with the 1.4% decline the first since December and
the largest in a year. Building approvals also tumbled in February for the second month in a
row, down 3.3% on the heels of January’s (upwardly revised) 5.5% decline. All in, these will
cement the view that although the RBA remains in tightening mode (emphasized by the recent
hawkish commentary coming from RBA officials), higher rates will only come every other
month or so.
