Canadian investors purchased a record amount of foreign securities, totaling C$29.4 billion ($21.8 billion), in December of last year. This marks the largest net outflow of purchases into foreign stocks and bonds since 1988. The surge in investment was driven by Canadian investors' demand for US large-cap technology shares and investment fund shares tracking broad US equity market indexes. Additionally, Canadian investment in non-US shares, particularly European equities, also contributed to the record. Conversely, foreigners showed less interest in Canadian equities but increased their investment in Canadian debt, particularly federal government bonds and money market paper.

Amazon economists Francesco Furno and Domenico Giannone have developed a new model to identify recessions in real-time. Their measure, based on real-economy activity and financial conditions, can provide a reading for a given month on the first business day of the next one. The researchers have created separate versions for the US and Europe, although their paper does not indicate whether either economy is currently in a recession. Their method is designed to be more timely than official indicators, which often declare a recession months after it has begun. [Extracted from the article]

The Biden administration is planning to award approximately $6.3 billion in grants to help industries reduce their carbon emissions. The grants will be given to sectors such as cement, glass, chemicals, metals, and pulp and paper, which account for a significant portion of US emissions. The funding aims to support the transition to lower-carbon technologies in these industries, which is crucial for the administration's goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century. The Department of Energy will be responsible for distributing the grants, and details on the projects that will receive funding are expected to be announced soon. [Extracted from the article]

Cisco Systems Inc. has made its largest diversification effort to date with the $28 billion acquisition of Splunk Inc. This move also marks a historic shift for Cisco, as it transitions to a net debt capital position in order to support growth and shareholder returns. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash, commercial paper, and long-term debt, including $13.5 billion in bonds. Cisco plans to focus on disciplined capital allocation and investments in growth, rather than prioritizing debt reduction. The company has committed to spending $5 billion per year on share buybacks and $6.5 billion per year on dividend payments. Cisco's decision to take on debt is a departure from its previous net cash position, which it held for three decades. The company's CFO, Scott Herren, stated that the decision to reduce debt will depend on factors such as monetary policy and cash holdings. Cisco's integration of Splunk will focus on boosting revenue and the development of combined products. The acquisition will also help Cisco expand its capabilities in artificial intelligence and increase its recurring revenue. [Extracted from the article]

According to a survey by Bank of America Corp., concerns about a systemic credit event are increasing among fund managers due to issues in global property markets. About one in six respondents consider this to be the biggest risk facing markets, up from one in eleven in December. The disquiet is particularly focused on US commercial real estate and Chinese property markets. The Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts to alleviate pressure on real estate have been hindered by higher-than-expected inflation numbers. Smaller banks are at risk of default rates in their commercial real estate loan books, while larger banks are considered more stable. A 10% default rate on commercial real estate loans could result in $80 billion in additional bank losses, leaving over 300 smaller regional banks at risk of solvency runs. The Federal Reserve is working with lenders to address expected losses, and regulators are ensuring that loan-loss reserves and liquidity levels are sufficient. The survey found that nearly 40% of fund managers see US commercial real estate as the most likely source of a credit event, while 22% see Chinese real estate as the biggest threat. The turmoil has also affected German lenders with exposure to US commercial real estate. [Extracted from the article]
