Weighing the Week
Ahead
– Jeff
Miller
This
week’s calendar includes a little data, a lot of politics, slow summer trading,
and the last of the earnings reports. I expect financial media to focus on an
earnings season post-mortem by asking: Has the Earnings Recession Reached a
Turning Point?
EcoWeek – BNP Paribas
The
upcoming week will bring the first estimates of German and Italian Q2 GDP
growth and the revised Euro-area Q2 GDP numbers. A lot of Chinese data will be
published, giving further indications on the current state of the economy. In
terms of Nordic data, CPI inflation figures for July will be released.
The
focus has lately been turning to fiscal stimulus to supplement central bank
actions * Japan took action in late July while the EU is relaxing its fiscal
rule framework in favour of looser fiscal policies * In the UK and US policymakers
are also indicating their intention to
use
fiscal policies to lift growth prospects * Equity markets will be positively affected
by fiscal easing * In the current environment of highly accommodative monetary policies,
the initial impact on interest rates should also be fairly limited
Soaring
Corporate Debt Bets on Improving Economy
The
global economy continues to grow at a modest pace, close to trend. This is
unspectacular and, given the stimulus central banks are providing, it is,
arguably, disappointing. But it is not a disaster. It probably shows how hard
it is for the global economy to recover from the downturn triggered by the
financial crisis. The sluggish recovery is probably also the result of a
variety of other factors, such as increased inequality in many economies and
political uncertainties which lead to a wait-and-see attitude on the part of
corporates. In addition, fundamental changes triggered by technological
developments may also be having (temporary?) dampening effects on global
growth.
