Key Events G10 In the US, there is… Personal income and spending – Friday. Consensus assumes a recovery in spending to 0.6% MoM and implicitly a decline in the savings rate, which would be consistent with my view that the US economy will prove more resilient to the tariffs than market consensus assumes. CB consumer […]

Key Events G10 In the US, there is only one key data point: Retail Sales – Monday. Risks to the consensus 0.3% for the control group are skewed to the downside as high-frequency data, retailers, consumer lenders, and anecdotal evidence point to a slowdown. In the Eurozone and UK, the main events will be: Eurozone […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, these are the main data points: CPI, PPI – Tuesday, Thursday. Consensus implies inflation stasis, which is consistent with the limited actual tariff increases so far and growth dynamism that has not been weakened, yet, by the surge in policy uncertainty. Consensus forecast is for core CPI at 0.3% […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, there is only one key data point: S&P PMIs – Friday. These are more a trading than an economic event as PMIs have decoupled from GDP. Please see our event monitor for market impact. Otherwise, this is a data-lite week. Market-moving surprises will more likely come from President Trump’s […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the main data points are: PCE, personal income and spending – Friday. Core PCE MoM is likely to print at 20bp, a moderate number unlikely to significantly change the Fed’s inflation views. Consensus on personal income and spending imply a low savings rate that supports continued high consumption and […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, these are the highlights: Inauguration – Monday. Reports suggest up to 100 day-one executive orders. Key ones include tariffs, but the incoming administration has skilfully prepared the markets and plans a gradual and predictable phase in. This could be dollar negative. S&P PMIS – Friday. These are more trading […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the key data is twofold: CPI – Wednesday. Consensus expectations, 0.2% MoM for core, align with recent ranges. Together with Tuesday’s PPI, CPI will provide the December core PCE estimate, which is a key driver of Fed policymaking. Retail Sales – Thursday. Consensus for the control group (key input […]

Summary The SNB cut the policy rate by 50bps, to 0.5%. That was their fourth cut of the cycle, but their first 50bp reduction since January 2015. Underlying inflation pressures are weakening with growth proving modest. The unemployment rate is grinding higher, too. In culmination, it led to a lower inflation forecast in the near-term. […]
Macro Hive
Key Data Events G10 In the US, it is all about inflation data: CPI, PPI – Wednesday, Thursday. CPI and PPI will provide an estimate of core PCE. Provided that estimate remains near or below 25bp, the Fed is likely to cut in December. In the Eurozone and UK, the main events will be: German […]

Summary We expect the ECB to cut 25bp on 12 December. It will also update macroeconomic projections, which are likely to see dovish revisions with inflation sustainably at target in H1 2025. We expect the ECB to avoid fully opening the way to 50bp cuts, but comments will likely add that they are flexible to […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the main data points are as follows: NFPs – Friday. Dominique expects about 150k relative to consensus 200k largely due to lower immigration flows. Even if a low NFP, as she expects, comes with steady unemployment and wage growth, it will likely lead the Fed to cut in December, […]

Summary EUR/USD has bounced about 2% since bottoming out on a 1.03 handle (intra-day) last week. This has coincided with a decline in US yields across the curve. Crowded short positioning, plus oversold technicals that are starting to unwind, have also contributed to the rise in EUR/USD. Market Implications We still think EUR/USD can rally […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, these are the key data prints: Personal income, spending and PCE – Friday. No surprise on core PCE, Powell has already told us that the Fed expects 2.8% YoY. Consensus forecasts on spending and income imply no real increase, which aligns with my expectations of slower consumption growth in […]
Henry Occleston
Summary ECB voters have started discussing where R* is. But there is little appetite right now in discussing cutting below the neutral rate. We estimate consensus R* is around 2-2.5%, making the market pricing (1.70% in October 2025) look overly dovish. The US election outcome has driven some of this. It probably underestimates the reality […]

Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the key data point is: Existing/new home sales – Wednesday/Thursday. Consensus expects roughly unchanged numbers from August, which would align with a sluggish residential investment recovery. The Eurozone and UK has a quiet week for hard data but numerous central bank speakers and survey results: Preliminary PMIs – Thursday. […]
Henry Occleston, Caroline Grady
Summary The ECB is widely expected to cut its depo rate by another 25bps on Thursday. Below-target inflation and increasing signs of economic, and in particular labour market, weakness are why. But we expect a cautious tone given inflation is set to rise again in Q4, risks over January repricing remain, and Q2 employment growth […]

Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the main data is: Retail sales – Thursday. Consensus for the control group (used to build GDP estimates) is 0.3% MoM or 0.1% real (based on CPI). The consensus forecast seems both attainable and in line with recent data suggesting a resilient consumer. In the Eurozone and UK, the […]
