Weekly PreviewBNY Mellon
Noted Fed watcher, Jon Hilsenrath is not alone in feeling that Ben Bernanke may look to reassure over the Fed’s measured approach to policy tightening.

Weekly Focus Danske Bank (pdf)
US: The Fed meeting gives Ben Bernanke an opportunity to guide market expectations. Markit PMI will provide new data on the extent of the soft patch. Euro area: main release next week is flash PMIs for June. We expect improvements in both service and manufacturing PMIs. China: There have recently been conflicting signals from PMIs, so the flash estimate for HSBC manufacturing PMI for June is key to watch.

Weighing the Week Ahead: Will the Fed Change Course?A Dash of Insight

FX Positioning and Technical OutlookMarc to Market
Downside Risk for the Dollar?

Yield Forecast Update: Volatility is backDanske Bank (pdf)
Discussions about the Fed scaling down asset purchases later in the year have fuelled a sell-off in the core bond markets and led to a rise in volatility over the past month. European markets have not been shielded from the increase in rates, despite a weak economic outlook and despite the ECB keeping its options open for further easing.

Weekly Credit UpdateDanske Bank (pdf)
Market-maker ability and willingness to absorb the current sell-off in cash credit is limited and consequently secondary market liquidity is falling and spreads are moving wider at a decent pace. Particularly the high yield market has corrected and the Crossover index has widened some 50 bp in just two weeks, currently trading around 450 bp. Cash HY and subordinated bank paper have also experienced meaningful price corrections as of late.

EMEA WeeklyDanske Bank (pdf)
Over the past three or four weeks we have seen a very sharp sell-off in Emerging Markets
– equities, fixed income and FX. Even though there are country-specific events such as the recent political unrest in Turkey, there is no doubt that the primary trigger for the EM sell-off has been concerns about the outlook for monetary policy – in particular in the US and Japan and to a lesser extent the euro zone.

Emerging Markets CalendarHandelsbanken (pdf)
China's HSBC PMI for the manufacturing sector likely remained subdued in June in the midst of tight liquidity in the banking system. Inflationary pressures remain high in Brazil, but moderating food prices are providing some relief.

Emerging: Week Aheadbeyondbrics / FT
IEA gas report, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro receives audience with Pope Francis in Rome, and the Iranian presidential election second round. Plus the main economic events: HSBC Flash China Manufacturing PMI, Russian GDP, and Central Bank of Turkey holds it’s monetary policy committee meeting.
