ECB preview: Even a package deal not enough to sustain a bond rally – Nordea

There can be little doubt the ECB will provide a whole package of easing measures in its meeting on Thursday, including rate cuts, liquidity measures and a conditional LTRO. Even a whole package of measures is unlikely to be enough to sustain a core bond rally, and longer yields are set to see a rebound higher, while the curve will steepe

BIS Quarterly Review, June 2014 – BIS

The cross-border claims of BIS reporting banks contracted for a seventh consecutive quarter between end-September and end-December 2013. Nevertheless, the pace of decline was slower than in the preceding two quarters. Claims on banking offices as well as non-bank entities fell. Euro-denominated claims contracted substantially. By contrast, cross-border lending in US dollars and in Japanese yen expanded. Boosted by strong growth in lending to China, cross-border claims on emerging Asia continued their steady expansion.

Macro Daily – WSJ

Purchasing manager indexes from around the world:: ecovery in Asia, with China’s closely watched PMI showing its fastest rate of expansion in five months, and yet shows signs that Europe’s economic recovery could be faltering. The latter will add to the weight of evidence that the European Central Bank should take action when it meets later this week, which is also why the euro has weakened considerably.

Markkinakatsaus: EKP:n täytyy elvyttää vielä pitkään – Handelsbanken

Euroalueen talous toipuu asteittain, mutta USA:sta poiketen ratkaisemattomia ongelmia on vielä. Työttö-myys pysyy korkeana eikä nopeaa laskua ole luvassa. Budjettialijäämät ovat arkipäivää useissa maissa, ja lisäsopeutusta tarvitaan. Pankit tekevät töitä taseidensa vahvistamiseksi, mutta luottomarkkinoilla olosuhteet ovat kaikkea muuta kuin normaalit. EKP:lta odotetaankin nyt uusia elvytystoimia, sillä euron heikkeneminen on edellytys deflaatiopaineiden kuriin saamiseksi.
