  STRATEGY

Weekly Focus: Recovery but also pressure for lower rates in EuropeDanske Bank

Eurozone PMI may struggle to climb higher but already indicates decent growth. We expect consumer confidence to continue to rise. A lot of important data is due out in China – not least GDP growth for Q4 and the first PMI numbers for January. In contrast, US data is thin on the ground, with Markit PMI and home sales being the most interesting. Japan’s central bank is set to meet but there is little prospect of any change to monetary policy. In Sweden, employment and jobless numbers are due.



Week AheadNordea

Euro area: Preliminary PMIs (Friday) are on top of the agenda in Europe. We expect a slight increase to 52.5 from 52.1, adding to the signs of recovery, driven both by manufacturing and services. Besides that, we expect an increase in the German ZEW. Sweden: Unemployment has levelled out around 8% in recent months. For December, we expect unemployment to edge down to 7.9% but largely to remain on the sideways trend. UK: Minutes of the January MPC meeting at the Bank of England will be the highlight of the week. Since November, the MPC seems to have taken a more neutral bias, but speculations about a more hawkish turn may gradually build up the coming months. US: Only tier-2 data on the agenda in the US next week. We don’t see any significant market movements caused by this data.

Yield Forecast UpdateDanske Bank

Over the past month, incoming data has continued to support our view of a strengthening of the European recovery. Despite a dovish ECB and a cut by the Riksbank, long-end rates have moved slightly higher in both Europe and Sweden. In the US, the decision by the Fed to taper the QE programme had only limited impact on long-end rates. However, as there seems to be limited willingness to strengthen the forward guidance, US money market rates have moved higher.



Rates: What is UnwarrantedNordea

Short EUR rates are on the rise once again, only unlike the December movements, there’s nothing obvious in the calendar to reverse it. Things are looking squeeze-like. A reversal is likely though, one way or the other. In this note we look into how this could/should happen.
