Key Events G10 In the US, there is… PCE price index, pers. income, spending – Friday. Consensus seems reasonable. The Fed watches the services component of PCE. We will examine median price PCE for indication of trend and see personal savings remaining around 4%. Q2 GDP – Thursday. Consensus is 1.9% vs the Atlanta Fed’s […]

Summary We do not expect the ECB to change policy this week. Nor do we expect much forward guidance – the ECB is watching the data. Comments will likely emphasise every meeting is live. We think two cuts by yearend is reasonable. This week also brings the final read of the June inflation data. It […]

Key Events G10 In the US, these are the important data points: Retail sales – Tuesday. Expect 0.2% for the control group, in line with consensus. Consumption growth is slowing due to catchup in personal income tax payments. Manufacturing production – Tuesday. Consensus of –0.1% mom appears reasonable, though the data says little about the […]

Summary We expect the ECB to cut twice more this year. However, within recent ECB comments on 2024 cuts, one more cut has emerged as most popular. Most important voices have yet to opine, though. The June ECB meeting minutes suggest general agreement that disinflation is underway and a broad capacity to look through bumps. […]

Summary Momentum models were flat over the past week, with equity models up 0.5% WoW, rates flat WoW and FX down 0.2% WoW. All momentum models are down over a three-month timeframe, with […]

Key Events G10 In the US, the most important data is: NFP – Friday. We agree with the consensus on payrolls and unemployment. Wage growth will be more important than usual due to last month’s pickup, which some argue is the start of a trend. ISM PMIs – manu. Monday, services Wednesday. We agree with […]

Summary Momentum models were flat over the past week, with equity models down 0.1% WoW, rates up 0.2% WoW and FX unchanged WoW. FX momentum models are the best performing over a three-month […]

Key Events G10 In the US, the main events are: Core PCE – Friday. Expect no surprise since PPI and CPI allow for close approximation. The more reliable indicator of trend will be the Cleveland Fed’s median price PCE, published a few hours after the BEA release. Personal income and spending – Friday. Consensus estimates […]

Summary Following the cut at their last meeting, ECB speakers mostly agree they are now in cautious data-watching mode. We assess the current data picture across services inflation, wage growth and unit profits. Inflation is trending back towards normality, but services continue to overshoot. Wage growth remains too strong, although evidence of whether this will […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, Wednesday is a federal holiday. Otherwise, the main data releases are: Retail sales – Tuesday. Consensus for the control group is 0.3% MoM vs -0.3% in April. This sounds reasonable: the series is noisy, and retail sales cover only goods and restaurant consumption. The more important economic data is […]
Henry Occleston
Summary We expect the ECB will cut 25bp on Thursday, but more interesting will be their forecasts and subsequent actions. We expect little change to the forecasts, with the ECB looking through recent labour market strength but providing a modestly higher profile for medium-term inflation. Services and domestic inflation will remain key, particularly if goods […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the main data releases are: NFP – Friday. Consensus expects 185k and unemployment at 3.9% – i.e., a tight labour market still. I agree. Trade balance – Thursday. A downside surprise to the consensus estimate of ‑$69.7bn would indicate a buildup of domestic demand pressures. JOLTS – Tuesday. We […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the main data releases are: PCE, personal income and spending – Friday. We see core PCE at +0.25% MoM vs +0.30% consensus. So a downside surprise is possible from rounding down. We expect the household savings rate stays around historical lows of 3.5%. A very low rate is a […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, the headline is CPI and retail sales: CPI – Wednesday. Consensus expects 0.3% MoM for core. I see upside risks due to April’s rising energy prices and strong demand backdrop. Sam’s model will give an early read. Yet even with a positive surprise, this CPI print alone is unlikely […]
Macro Hive
Key Events G10 In the US, there are two main events: Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices (Monday): We expect it will still show increased credit demand, fewer banks tightening standards, and more banks willing to extend loans – another sign Fed tightening is not reaching the economy. U. Mich. Consumer confidence […]
