Main News Daily Update

This is a facts-heavy week with a variety of key economic indicators being published in the place of the Eurozone and US. Today, the latest wave of PMI office survey data is released for the Eurozone, as well as during the term of two of its largest markets, France and Germany. In contrast to the ill-defined downbeat tone of US data, Eurozone PMI surveys have performed well not long ago on the back of robust Asian demand for exports and mitigation following the recent EU bank ‘stress tests’. While this picture of advancement has been mirrored in the German market, a slight cooling in the reckon of expansion has been evident in France with both PMIs despite manufacturing and service sector falling back somewhat in Q2. Lloyds TSB count upon this trend to continue, with a modest correction also being seen in Germany and the EU more generally, as the market pauses to consider the longer term impacts of the novel developments. Nonetheless, they expect all sectors to remain firmly in the expanding territory.

On Friday, ECB Governing Council Member Axel Weber gave a televised Bloomberg interview. He made some interesting comments. Mr. Weber basically says that the ECB should celebrate unlimited lending through year-end: both one-week main refinancing operations (MRO) and person- and three-month long-term refinancing operations (LTRO). Since Mr Weber is considered the same of the ber-hawks on the ECB Governing Council, the pathway should now be paved for the ECB to wait until 2011 prior to moving further ahead with its exit. Although Mr Weber thinks that the ECB should re-put on shipboard on exiting from non-standard measures, the decision to do in like manner will be very state-dependent. Mr Weber is not in favour of the ECB reintroducing again LTRO with, say, 6M or 12M duration, and he welcomed the event that the market did not panic when the 12M LTRO matured put ~ 1 July. He noted that overnight volumes had increased, which he welcomed viewed like a sign of market strength. Mr Weber noted that Germany is having a certain growth effect on the euro area. German Q2 growth was stellar, but to some extent that was expected. He sees German increase of 0.5% q/q in Q3 and Q4 (in business with Q1). This would correspond to 3.2% y/y during the term of the full year. The Bundesbank yesterday lifted its forecast to 3.0% y/y instead of the full year. Hence, Germany should continue to lead the European recuperation. Mr Weber said that the global recovery and momentum are in c~tinuance track. He said that risks to the outlook are broadly balanced. Moreover, he study that the market had overreacted to the negative news-flow newly. He said that the ECB is likely to lift its vegetation projection for the euro area from 1.0% y/y towards the full year. Axel Weber’s comments are clearly dovish and negative by reason of the euro, as they indicate no further exit from the ECB previous to Q1 2011 at the earliest. This is a new Weber, who is running in spite of the top job, so the ber-hawk has gone on holidays. His comments are noteworthy since in a way he is forestalling the departure discussion that was planned for the ECB meeting to be held up~ 2 September. A further indicator released today is the European Commission Consumer Confidence Indicator. We calculate upon this to remain close to its long term average of -12, suitable accordant with an ongoing gradual recovery in consumer spending.

EUR/USD dropped in opposition to a second week. On Friday the cross fell roughly one configuration on dovish comments from Axel Weber. Further, EUR/CHF on Friday reached the lowest in seven weeks. Not a great deal of movements in FX markets this morning, although Australia’s dollar looks not so fast after the federal election failed to deliver a majority government in the place of the first time in 70 years.

US economic data has been weakening consistently for the period of the summer, and over the past few weeks we have been flagging downside risks. While weakness in housing data had been expected following the expiry of the first-time home-buyer duty credit, the size and duration of the setback in housing indicators is worse than multitude anticipated. Danske are still quite convinced that the current level of saddle-cloth activity is too depressed compared to the ‘true’ underlying trend and wait for a gradual pick-up during H2. Local surveys now indicate a in addition accelerated path of decline in the ISM. We cannot fully eclaircize this. But it might be that the negative confidence effect from the euro obligation crisis, with the subsequent market turmoil, has led to extraordinarily vigilant inventory management in the business sector. We now expect the ISM Index to make way to 50 by year-end and to remain around this level through Q1, before rising again in spring 2011. After reaching gains of 150-200k in the fountain-head, private payroll growth has decelerated back into the 50-75k range in recent months. Claims data have recently moved higher. While in the greatest degree of this probably reflects temporary distortions from the seasonal problems in the auto sector, extended benefits and the kindling of Census workers, the flat trend since early this year is relating to. Another concern is the lack of job creation in the service sector, and continued public job losses at the state and local level. Recent retail sales data have indicated a downshift in the pacing of consumer spending. Further personal spending was revised substantially lower in the Q2 occurring once a year GDP revision. Pre-revision data showed consumer spending growth close to 3% in the primary half of 2010. This was revised down to below 2%. The tacit inference is a weaker path of final demand into H2, in render providing less support for the business cycle (i.e. production, investing. and jobs). We continue to believe that the risk of each outright recession is limited as inventories are low, construction spending is at a memorial low, house prices are close to fair value and financial purchase is much lower than before the financial crisis. While the endanger of a ‘slump’ scenario with sub-par growth for several years has increased, Danske regard that the most likely outcome remains a mid-cycle slowdown. Danske carry into effect not expect the Fed to hike before 2012. Further, the jeopardize that the Fed will announce further QE later this year has increased. That uttered, we are uncertain how much economic weakness it will take as antidote to the Fed to go down this road. Nonetheless, market talk hind part before this subject is here to stay, for a while at least, and is likely to intensify the weaker the data.

In the advent week rate decisions in Poland, Hungary and Israel are expected to take middle point stage. Danske expect all three central banks to keep rates unaltered, but it will be very interesting to see how the banks pick to communicate with regard to the recent rise in fears to boot a double dip in global growth and change of stance of the Federal Reserve in a greater amount of dovish direction.  With monetary policy likely to move in a to a greater degree dovish direction in most EMEA countries we are also likely to escort some “carry erosion” across the region. This gives some risks to the neighborhood’s currencies – especially for shekel and lira. Meanwhile, in emerging markets, the South African good husbandry is expected to have expanded by 3.1% year-on-year in Q2, up from 1.6% during the previous quarter. Nonetheless, the recovery remains fragile, in particular home private demand continues to lag the export sector. Consequently, Lloyds TSB wait for interest rates to be maintained at 6.5% into 2011.
