Thursday preview: Fed's Clarida, Johnson Matthey in focus

Wed, 29th May 2019 14:34

(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight on Thursday will likely be on Richard Clarida, as the Federal Reserve's vice-chairman speaks at The Economic Club in New York.Some economists believe his speech will be especially well-timed, given the recent inversion in the US Treasury yield curve, one of the typical precursors of an economic recession, and softness in capital markets around the world more generally, including as far afield as the emerging markets space.On the back of the above, in recent weeks Fed funds futures have shifted very considerably, moving from implicitly pricing-in less than even odds of one 25 basis point cut in short-term official interest rates before 2019 was out to discounting a 50% probability of two such reductions.Talking about the outlook for stock markets, on Tuesday UBS's Francois Trahan had pointed out to clients how the more cyclical areas of the market such as Energy and Financials had underperformed over the back half of 2018, and again throughout most of the year to date, during the recent rally, labelling the pattern "a bad omen for the road ahead".Their peers at Goldman Sachs were more upbeat, arguing that the market typically rallied when the Fed stopped raising rates and sticking to an end-2019 target of 3,000 for the S&P 500.The main reports will also come from the States, with readings due out on weekly jobless claims, foreign trade in April and first quarter gross domestic product.Economic data is otherwise expected to be rather sparse on both sides of the Channel, although a reading on harmonised consumer prices in Spain for the month of May might give policymakers and traders some 'food for thought'.Consensus is expecting the year-on-year rate of increase in Spanish prices to slip from 1.6% in April to 1.2% last month.For Johnson Matthey's second half results, Deutsche Bank's Robin Draeger has penciled in a 6% jump in earnings before interest and tax versus a year ago to reach £290m, on the back of increased efficiency in Efficient Natural Resources, Health, and New Markets, but above all growth in Clean Air.Draeger is also expecting "operational details" of continuing strategic execution to come through, despite weaker end market demand in the automotive space.He further expects management to show confidence heading into the 2019/20 financial year, reiterate its medium-term strategy and guidance for a compound annual growth rate in earnings per share in the mid-to-high single-digits.The analyst is also looking for an update on is commercialisation plans in battery materials."The valuation at 12.6x 19/20E P/E makes the stock one of the cheapest specialty names in the sector with a l/t structural growth story that remains undervalued, in our view."Thursday May 30INTERIMSUrban&CivicINTERIM DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATEWetherspoon (J.D.)INTERIM EX-DIVIDEND DATEArtemis VCT, Britvic, Cardiff Property, Cerillion , DFS Furniture, Grainger, Greencore Group, IntegraFin Holding, Majedie Investments, On The Beach Group , Princess Private Equity Holding Ltd.
