Mid-Day Report: Equities Lower as Emerging Market Worries Re-emerge, Euro Pressured by Weak CPI

European equities are generally down today as pressured once again by the developments in the emerging markets. DOW also points to a sharply lower open. The Turkish lira and South African rand are back under pressure with rand dropping as much as -1% against the dollar. Meanwhile, Russia reported that its economy grew 1.3% in 2013, at the slowest pace since 2009. That's also a sharp slowdown from 2012's 3.4% and missed consensus expectation of 1.5%. It was even below the Economy Ministry's estimate of 1.4%. In the currency markets, Aussie lost ground today and is now the weakest currency this week as risk aversion is back. Meanwhile, yen is seen firmer across the board together with dollar.

AUD's Weakness To Persist Amid Economic Headwinds

Recent price movements indicated that any rebound of AUDUSD is short-lived. Although rising inflation in Australia might provide short-term support to AUD, Australia's terms of trade should deteriorate further and downside risks related to Chinese growth should continue to weigh on the Aussie. There's no sign of a reversal of the AUDNZD downtrend as we enter 2014. Instead, the decline has perpetuated amid concerns over China's economic slowdown and speculations of rate hikes in RBNZ. With China's economic reform, which attempts to shift the balance of economic growth from investment to domestic demand, and the growing divergence between Australia and New Zealand on the economic prospects, we expect the downtrend of AUDNZD to continue this year
