Weighing the Week
Ahead: Is the earnings recession over? – Jeff
Miller
We
face a modest week for economic data. While equity markets remain open, bonds
will not trade on Monday (Columbus Day). Yom Kippur begins Tuesday at sundown
and extends through the next day. The punditry, fueled by recent revelations as
well as Sunday’s debate, will pounce on the election news. With the official
start of earnings season on Tuesday and important reports by the end of the
week, perhaps we can hope to see a serious market discussion before the week
ends. I expect the punditry (eventually) to be asking, is the earnings
recession over?
US:
Philips curve, alive and kicking. Another month of strong payrolls growth.
Unemployment rate edging up. Wages re-accelerating. EZ: Budget season. Member
states are currently finalizing the draft proposals they will submit to the
European Commission by mid-October. Its job will probably be difficult.
Next
week, US events will take centre stage. The second presidential debate will
take place during the night to Monday European time. The Fed minutes on
Wednesday will show how close the FOMC was to hiking rates in September. From
the Nordics, we will get the September inflation numbers.
Will
the Fed hike rates in December or wait until next year? The coming week could tell
us more about that, with important Fed speeches scheduled and minutes due from the
September meeting, at which FOMC members differed on the policy course. Markets
will also look for central bank signals in the Eurozone, following reports that
the ECB is considering ways to taper QE. We believe US retail sales picked up
in September after weakening for two consecutive months.
Upside risk to long-end bund yields on
tapering discussion, inflation * Risk of ‘hard Brexit’ has increased but GBP
may stabilise near-term * A Trump win in the US presidential election would be negative
for global equities, medium-term negative for USD vs G10 * A Trump win may pose
upside risk to US yields.
Europe:
Will Draghi set the record straight? US: Politics and the Fed * Asia: China
rising?

Digesting NFP and Brexit plans – TF
The
British pound dropped sharply this week, but recovered partly and gave an idea
about what to expect in the time to come regarding GBP volatility. However, in
other currencies things look different.
