Lucror Analytics - Morning Views Asia - 06 Dec 2018

Toward the end of November, bond market traders seemed to reassess the Fed’s pace of rate tightening, with signs emerging of a sputtering in global economic growth. Last month, the IMF downgraded its forecast for world growth, and recently warned that the outlook may have deteriorated.Minutes from the last FOMC meeting indicated that Fed officials discussed the modification of language on "further gradual" hikes, as well as the need for a flexible approach on rates. This approach seems realistic, given the falling oil prices and indications of a cooling in the medium-term prospects for US inflation (the core PCE deflator for October missed expectations at 1.8%).

Debt Capital Markets

United Photovoltaics Group Limited (UPV) has recommenced marketing efforts and has come back to investors for a planned benchmark size Reg-S Notes issue. The use of proceeds is mainly for debt refinancing for some convertible bonds, with the rest for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We also provide on an update on business and capital markets developments since early November. Unfortunately, there have been no financial updates and the last published accounts was for the half year ending June 30, 2016.
