Weekly review July 19, Second consecutive week of gains

The Asia credit market continued its upward march last week, chalking up 0.8% total return, driven by both lower UST yields and tighter credit spreads. Fed Chairman Bernankes Humphrey-Hawkins testimony was dovish and pushed UST yields lower by 10-12bp in the belly of the curve. Credit spreads also tightened by 5bps last week, bringing spreads down to 287bp, a level last seen in early June. The best performer was sovereigns, which turned in 1.8% total return last week. Besides being the main beneficiary of lower UST yields given its long duration of 7.65 years, the sector also saw credit spreads tighten by 16bp, which was almost on par with 17bp tightening for Asia HYs. The second-best performer was the HY sector, which chalked up 1.3% total return with double-B (+1.7% total return) outpacing single-B (+1.1% total return). Quasisovereigns were dragged along by sovereigns, reporting 0.8% total return, in line with the overall market, as credit spreads tightened by 6bp. IG corporates and financials lagged somewhat with 0.3% total return as their spreads widened by 5bp and 1bp, respectively, but benefited from lower UST yields. The JACIs performance last week somewhat lagged the other major EM credit indices, i.e. CEMBI Broad (+1.3% total return) and EMBIG (+2.5% total return). Within CEMBI, the Asia component (+0.6% total return) lagged the other two regions, i.e. Latam (+1.9%) and CEEMEA (+1.5%). In our view, the uptick in the market was largely technically driven as we continued to see marginal deterioration in the macro backdrop. In Indonesia, the IDR spot price broke above the 10,000 psychological level after the government announced some swap facilities. In China, slower GDP numbers could still have some credit implications for the market.

In our view, the liberalization of lending rates in China is positive in the longrun as part of the restructuring of the China banking system, but will have limited impact in the short term. The PBOC on Friday announced the liberalization of lending rates in China, effective as of Saturday. As noted by our China economist, Haibin Zhu, in a report entitled China: PBOC removed lending rate control, banks had previously only been allowed to lend at no less than 70% of the lending rate. Other steps were removing controls on pricing mechanisms of discounted bills, and removing lending caps on rural credit unions. We do not think the reforms will have a large impact on banks operations; only a very small portion of loans are priced below the lending rate. The act is significant, however, in that it is another indication of policymakers focus on moving forward with structural reforms. Our meetings in Hong Kong suggested that investors are cautious but not overly bearish. We met with 23 accounts in Hong Kong last week. This is the second leg of mid-year outlook marketing in Asia, following on our early July visit in Singapore, where we met with 22 accounts. The story line from the Hong Kong investor base is relatively similar to what we heard in Singapore. That said, we sense a slight improvement in tone, probably reflecting the modest improvement in recent weeks. There were more discussions on specific credits in Hong Kong, instead of pure focus on fund flows in Singapore. We read this slightly positively, suggesting that clients are reassessing credits, which is likely a step closer to pulling the trigger. On the buy camp are private bank clients and insurance, focusing on different market segments. Given their treatment of corporate bonds as annuity, the two investor bases are thus better placed to take the short-term swing in prices. Private bank clients are largely staying at the short-end of the HY space (in particular China property bonds), while insurance companies still favor singleA and above credits in the 10-year sector. Real money accounts are largely sitting on the sidelines, notwithstanding the fact that retail outflow has abated significantly from June levels. Their reasons for not getting involved include: i) outflows, albeit abated, are still ongoing; ii) lack of liquidity and wide bid-offer spreads; iii) difficulty reading UST yields; and iv) risk of re-pricing due to new issue premiums. A slight twist to the fast money story is that we heard more mixed views from Hong Kong fast money accounts, who are looking for both long and short ideas; unlike the overall bearish views of Singapore-based HFs that focus mostly on what to short. We are surprised to hear from several accounts complaining that they could not find bonds that they want to buy, suggesting that the market remains dysfunctional. It remains very crowded trades that most accounts are looking for similar bonds, of which the holders are not willing to let go. The new issue market saw the second print after a month hiatus, this time from a new HY issue from Indonesia. Multipolar managed to raise US$200m from the market. Overall, the weak open suggested that the primary market could remain challenging for HY. The fact that this first-time issuer (albeit the underlying assets are not new) managed to cross the finishing line showed that investors were willing to put some money to work. However, the close to 2 point drop on the break could mean that investors will ask for heftier new issue premiums as a buffer. This has led to some concerns that the build-up in the new issue pipeline could continue to put pressure on the secondary market. In our view, the supply risk will remain something to monitor, but would likely be limited to IG names for now. Several sectors that we expect to see new issues would be Indian corporates and banks, and China IG corporates.

Results season kicked off for Asian financials, with reports from a few Thai and Indian issuers. The former group continued to report relatively strong results, with modest pressure on asset quality and margins, although we view the reports collectively as supporting strong fundamentals. We generally see better value in Korean commercial banks that have lagged and are trading at even spread to BBL. HDFC, Axis Bank, and IDBI in India reported results that were generally soft. The private sector names HDFC and Axis showed credit quality weakening from strong levels, and this impacted profitability. IDBIs report continued a trend of difficult results, with continuing asset quality weakness, challenges to profitability, and a shrinking balance sheet. We maintain our cautious view on Indian banks as we await results from other lenders. Not surprisingly, the shorter end of the Asian IG corporates curve performed relatively better in the stronger markets last week. Even as Asian IG corporate spreads widened slightly overall, it was mainly due to the 10yr and beyond part of the curve. In China, Bright Foods, CHCONS, CR Land 16s, Tingyi 17s and the 2017 bonds in Korea and Hong Kong all outperformed and were 25-50bps tighter over the week. On the other hand, 10yr bonds from China and HK were ~10-20bps wider over the week. Korean quasi-sovereign bonds continue to grind tighter during the week but remain wider than their 2013 tights and still wider than HK/China single-A credits. Results season kicks off with Reliance Industries announcing in-line results and balance sheet remaining strong, as expected. We believe Reliance 20s and 22s being ~40-45bps tighter to Indian quasi-sov corporates looks fair for now, given that it does price in some downgrade risk for the quasi-sovs, should sovereign ratings risk increase, although we think it is more of a next year story, if at all. However, we do see value in ONGC 18s over 23s as we think the curve looks flattish at ~20bps spreads differential vs. single- A oil & gas credits like CNOOC, Sinopecs 18/23s curve differential at 50bps, BBB-rated curve like China Overseas Land 17/22s or Yanzhou 17/22s is 60-80bps apart and even IOCLIN 15/21 or RILIN 16/22 are ~70bps apart. This week, we have results from CKI and Power Assets, amongst others, which shall dominate news flow. We expect stable results from both the credits. Also, Hutch was in the news on possible sale of its HK retail company ParknShop, and per WSJ, company can raise US$1-2B from the same. China HY bonds in general continued to experience a rebound as concerns over credit tightening onshore eased and tapering from the US. China property sector bonds saw a strong price recovery of 2 points on average. Higher house price in June, the fifth consecutive month that more than 90% of cities saw mom price increase, also helped sentiment. Long dated bonds such as Country Garden 23s (+4.3 pts), SOHO 22s (+3.3 pts) and Longfor 19s (+3.3 pts) benefited the most. Agile perps also gained 2.8 points. Shorter dated niche market players Gemdale 17s (+3 pts) and Franshion 17s (+3 pts) also played catch up. We also saw similar situation in the single-B space where longer dated bonds like Central China 20s (+3.8 pts), Fantasia 20s (+3.8 pts), Kaisa 20s (+3.8 pts) and Shimao 20s (+3.5 pts) had the strongest rebound. Industrial bonds had a weaker price rebound of 0.4 points on average and price performance was mixed as each individual industry still has its own issues. The coal mining industry continued to be the worst performer on continued concerns over weak coking coal prices. Mongolian Mining 17s (-2.5 pts), Hidili 15s (-2 pts) and Winsway 16s (-1 pt) were all lower. In the machinery sector, Zoomlion 22s (-2 pts) and Hyva (-0.6) were lower while Lonking 16s gained 1 point. Shanshui 16s lost 0.5 point on

profit warning for 1H13 but the 17s gained 0.5 point. On the other end of the spectrum, Liansu 16s gained 3 points on lower raw material and fuel costs. Fufeng 16s (+2.3 pts) were also an outperformer, benefitting from lower corn and coal costs. Looking ahead into next week, we expect the market to continue its rebound especially for the property sector but at a slower pace ahead of results in August. In tandem with the positive tone for the market, Indonesian HY corporates gained between 0.5 and 1.75 points with the exception of the Bakrie complex. Bumi 16s and 17s were 6.5-7.5 points lower for the week, making them the worst performers in the sector. Berau 17s also closed the week about 1 point lower, and Bakrie Telecom ended 1.5 points lower. Outside of the Bakrie complex, laggards in the recent selloff turned into best performers last week. In the coal sector, Indika was the best performer. Indika '18s and 23s were up 0.5 and 1.75 points respectively. Adaro '19s closed flat for the week as its price was capped by digestion of a large block trade. The property sector also closed the week on higher ground. Lippo Karawaci 19s were the best performer gaining 1.75 points. Other issues were 1.0 to 1.25 points higher. Another sector that did well was the consumer plays, such as Bhakti Investama 18s (+1.5 points), Japfa 18s (+1.25 points) and Gajah Tunggal 18s (+1.0 points), Defensive sectors such as IPP and telco lagged somewhat. Cikarang 19s gained +0.75 points, while Star Energy 20s, Indosat '20s and Tower Bersama 18 were up 0.5 points. One positive note is that the secondary market spreads have not reacted too adversely to the poor performance of the new print Multipolar 18s. In our view, the sector would likely perform inline with the overall market in the coming week. We make several changes to our target yields. We are adjusting our target yield on Country Garden 18s to 5.25% from 6.5% after the recent price rebound on the sector. We are also changing our target yield on Star Energy to 6.25%, bringing them in line with the expectation on the broader market.

Chinese Banks PBOC liberalizes lending rates

The PBOC on Friday announced the liberalization of lending rates in China, effective as of Saturday. Previously, banks had only been allowed to lend at no less than 70% of the lending rate. We dont think this will have a large impact on banks operations. Only a very small portion of loans are priced below the lending rate at all, and no banks offer loans near the 30% discount to the benchmark lending rate (for more detail, please see the comment from our China economist, Haibin Zhu, titled, China: PBOC removed lending rate control). The act is significant, however, in that it is another indication of policymakers focus on moving forward with structural reforms. We believe that these reforms are likely to pressure profitability, and possibly asset quality. Future steps may include deposit rate liberalization, the implementation of a deposit insurance scheme, and a reduction in targeted lending requirements. We maintain a cautious view on Chinas banks, which we prefer to express through long CDS positions, possibly paired with short CDS on the sovereign. (Matt Hughart)

SCB Solid earnings; bonds look fair

Siam Commercial Bank reported solid 2Q earnings, with good loan and revenue growth. The bank also increased provision expense to maintain reserve coverage at comfortable levels. Basel 3 core capital levels, while solid at 11.1%, lag peers by 40-90bps. This may explain why the name tends to trade the widest of the Thai banks. SCBTB 3.375% 2017 bonds are offered at SOT+140bp (z-spread 155bp), which is around 15bp behind BBL. While we think the two names should

trade flat to each other, the latter tends to be better supported, and spreads may not compress significantly from here. We maintain our neutral view on the bonds. More generally, we think there is better value in select Korean names. Operating revenues grew 1% q/q and by 19% y/y. A 3.5% q/q decline in noninterest income was more than offset by a 3.9% improvement in net interest income. The latter item was helped by loan growth of 3.6%, and 1bp of NIM expansion, to 3.14%. Operating expenses grew slightly faster than revenues, at 3.7% in the quarter, and the cost / income ratio increased somewhat to 40.5%, from 39.3%. Loan loss provisions were 2.7% higher than in the prior quarter, on the back of a larger loan portfolio, and the provision / average loan ratio grew 2bp, to 0.65%. NPLs increased in line with loan portfolio growth, by 3.6%, while the related ratio increased 1bp to 2.32%. Capital continues to modestly lag peers, with the Basel 3 Tier 1 ratio at 11.1%, and the CAR at 14.5%. Liquidity, as measured by the loan / deposit ratio, improved to 91.9%, a 1.4% pt decline. (Matt Hughart)

KBank Decent earnings dont change our UW view

Kasikornbank reported good earnings that were largely uneventful. The bank's bond spreads tend to trade in between BBL and SCB, although we generally prefer to own SCB. With KBANK 3% 2018 bonds offered at SOT+148bp (zspread 144bp), we think upside is limited, at only a few bp behind BBL. More broadly, throughout the high-BBB / Single A space, we prefer to own Korean banks, some of which are trading at flat z-spreads to KBank. We maintain our underweight view at this juncture. Operating revenues grew 6.5% q/q, and 18.1% y/y. Non-interest income was a big driver, increasing 9.9% sequentially, while net interest income was up 4.2%. This latter line was supported by 3bp of margin expansion, to 3.53%, while loan balances grew 2.6% q/q. Expenses jumped however, pushing the cost / income ratio up by 2.6% pts, to 42.6%. Provision expense declined and supported the bottom line, falling 38% sequentially. This weakened reserve coverage by 5% pts, and it is now at 133%. NPLs grew 3.7% in the quarter, while the related ratio increased 2bp to 2.49%. Restructured loans grew 3.0%. Basel 3 capital ratios remain strong, with the core Tier 1 ratio at 12%, a 50bp increase, and the CAR 16.2%. This is 41bp higher than the prior quarter. The loan /deposit ratio was flat at 92%. (Matt Hughart)

Hana and KEB Diverging trends; bonds offer value

Hana Bank and KEB's 2Q results reflected some divergences, with trends at KEB strengthening. Overall, we think the two names offer value at current spreads, with spreads roughly 20bp behind Shinhan, which has already moved to the recent tights. Hana Bank 3.5% 2017 bonds are offered at SOT+125bp (zspread 136bp), while the KEB 3.125% 2017 bonds are offered at SOT+120bp (zspread 142bp). These z-spreads are roughly 20bp behind Shinhan, suggesting some upside from current levels, despite relatively weak 2Q earnings reports. Net income at Hana Bank declined by nearly 50% q/q and by 26% y/y. This was partly due to compression in the net interest margin, which declined 3bp to 1.55%. On the other hand, loan balances increased 2.2% q/q. The cost / income ratio weakened by nearly 5% pts, to 53.0%. Credit quality also weakened, with delinquencies ticking up 7bp to 0.50%, driven by a 14bp spike in corporate delinquencies. The NPL ratio increased 5bp to 1.13%. Core capital was better in 2Q, growing 5bp to 9.76% from the prior quarter. The CAR weakened by 21bp to 13.60%.

Earnings for KEB showed sequential strength, growing to KRW126 billion, up from KRW 30 billion in the prior period. The NIM contracted by 3bp, which we think is understandable in the current rate environment. Loan balances increased 1.1% from the prior period. In contrast to Hana Bank, the movement in credit metrics was favorable, although the absolute levels are relatively weaker. The NPL ratio fell 5bp to 1.16%, while delinquencies declined 11bp to 0.82%, reflecting improvement in both corporate and household lending. The Tier 1 ratio improved by 5bp in the quarter, to 10.58%, while the CAR slipped 20bp to 12.51%. (Matt Hughart)

Reliance Industries Stable 1QFY14 results; stay OW on credit

Reliance Industries reported stable 1QFY14 results on Friday. The companys EBITDA grew 5%yoy but lower 10%qoq which is not surprising given weaker refining GRMs. Petchem segment contributed stable earnings and would remain the mainstay driver of companys earnings in the near to medium term, in our view. E&P segment remains a laggard on falling production although company could look to increase capex in the coming years, to reverse the falling trend. Positive news flow in the E&P segment pertaining to increase in gas prices should not only help improve sentiment but also incentivize the company to increase capex in its Indian oil & gas fields. US shale gas business continues to grow with revenues at US$214 million (+84%yoy). Balance sheet remains strong with company in net cash position on standalone basis and less than 1x net leverage on consolidated basis. In terms of capex, it is looking to grow organically (such as petchem expansion project due to commence in 2015) along with investments in E&P in India (approvals for investments of US$1.2B) and US shale gas business. We also expect capex in telecom business to continue as it looks to roll out services in that segment but being asset light model, it is likely to be manageable. In terms of valuations, we think Reliance bonds looks fair at 40-50bps inside other Indian quasi-sov bonds to account for better ratings and higher linkage of the latters ratings with the sovereign. Nevertheless, the bonds still offer slight value to Thai oil & gas bonds which still look on relatively tight. (Varun)

Hutch Potential divestment of retail business in Hong Kong

Hutch announced that it is looking to conduct strategic review of its Hong Kong super market retail business to optimize value for its shareholders. This was in response to media reports (such as on Bloomberg and WSJ) that the company could be looking to sell its ParknShop super market chain in the city and could raise ~US$1-2B from the sale. We take the announcement as small positive given the potential cash coming in and would help raise funding in other investments it is looking to make, especially in Europe, where it has got more active recently, especially in utility as well as telecom businesses. We see better value in the Hutch perps as defensive trade with potentially short duration, limited interest rate risk and decent yields. We think Hutch 22s looks bit tight at flat spreads to high quality China SOE credits such as CNOOC, CNPC and Sinopec 22s and prefer the latter space at these relative valuations. (Varun)

MIE Management reshuffled

MIE announced that Allen Mak has resigned as CFO and joint company secretary and Executive Director Forrest Dietrich has resigned as Executive Director both will remain VPs with the company. The company has appointed ex-investment banker Dexter Tao as the new CFO and its chief geologist Andrew Harper to take up Forrest Dietrichs position. In our view, MIEs management reshuffle is credit neutral as both Allen and Forrest are staying with the company. That said, the hiring of an ex-investment banker as CFO may indicate that the company is aggressively looking to for opportunities in capital market and/or acquisitions. We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation in MIE 16s (NR/B+/B, 106.25offer, 7.2%ytw) and 18s (NR/B+/B, 96.75offer, 7.7%ytw) from a relative value perspective. (Daniel)

Future Land Issued profit warning for 1H13

Future Land issued a profit warning for 1H13 results due to 1) an increase in finance costs after the issuance of 10.25% US$200 million 18s and 9.75% RMB1.5 million 16s and 2) a decrease in gross profit margin as a result of changes in product mix and geographic breakdown of deliveries. In 1H12, the company reported a net profit of RMB152 million. Total interest cost from the issuance of the bonds in 1H13 is calculated to be around RMB80 million. (Daniel)

For important disclosures for these companies, please call 1-800-477-0406 or e-mail research.disclosure.inquiries@jpmorgan.com. Explanation of Credit Research Ratings: Ratings System: J.P. Morgan uses the following sector/issuer portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), Neutral (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). J.P. Morgan's Emerging Market research uses a rating of Marketweight, which is equivalent to a Neutral rating. NR is Not Rated. In this case, J.P. Morgan has removed the rating for this security because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. Valuation & Methodology: In J.P. Morgan's credit research, we assign a rating to each issuer (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral) based on our credit view of the issuer and the relative value of its securities, taking into account the ratings assigned to the issuer by credit rating agencies and the market prices for the issuer's securities. Our credit view of an issuer is based upon our opinion as to whether the issuer will be able service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the

issuer's credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage (including and excluding capital investment). We also analyze the issuer's ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth rates, margins, and the composition of the issuer's balance sheet relative to the operational leverage in its business. Analysts' Compensation: The research analysts responsible for the preparation of this report receive compensation based upon various factors, including the quality and accuracy of research, client feedback, competitive factors, and overall firm revenues.
