Global Week Ahead: EU Heads of State still mostly talkingNordea (pdf)
This week’s key event will be the EU Summit Thursday and Friday although it may not necessarily provide the news about Greece and Spain that the financial markets are waiting for. We believe markets are expecting little or no positive news from the Summit and that risks are skewed towards positive surprises, if any. Our view on the most important key figures is broadly neutral with a slight positive bias on Chinese GDP and the minutes from BoE.

In this week’s edition of G10 weekly we elaborate on the severe headwinds facing the Swedish economy. We also address the process of global deleverage, which appears to be far from over.

Perspectives Oct 2012: A new monetary eraPictet

Nordea Risk Perception PublicationNordea (pdf)
Sideways trading across financial asset classes as markets continue to acknowledge 1) European politicians becoming more vigorous and 2) central banks showing their ammo * The tendency with seeping vols is clearly reflected in Nordea Risk Perception Index * Movements however still muted and correlations are high between asset classes * Going forward, vols can easily loose further ground on the back of ECB and continued weak economic data that keeps markets in tight trading ranges * With only the past year in mind, risk sentiment can quickly shift and timing may be apt for entering tail risk hedges at current historic cheap levels

Weekly Preview: Times they are-a changingBNY Mellon

Weekly Focus: Room for easing in ChinaDanske Bank (pdf)
A stream of data from China will probably show that the slowdown continued in September and Q3 as a whole, that inflation is still falling and that there is therefore still space to ease economic policy. The Spanish saga will roll on in a week featuring both a meeting of the European Council and local elections in Spain. US data, on the other hand, will probably show higher consumer spending and
inflation in September and signs of further growth in October. Norges Bank’s regional network will be an important pointer for Norwegian interest rates and news is due from the Swedish labour market.

Research Euro: Hard data beats soft data - which is right?Danske Bank (pdf)
There is a big divergence between hard and soft data in the euro area at the moment. Although not clear cut, it does suggest that soft data – such as euro PMI – may be too downbeat and could surprise on the upside in coming months. 

Stock Market Troubles The Short Side of Long
When I look at the current condition of US stocks, it definitely reminds me of previous cyclical bull market tops just as the business cycle expansion was coming to an end. Be it overbought prices, narrowing breadth participation, tightening credit spreads, extremely prolonged complacent volatility,  overly bullish sentiment readings without a bear in sight or the fact that the Long Bond refuses to sell off - it all links to the economic fundamentals deteriorating rather rapidly.
