Crashes
NEXT WEEK
Next
week offers Fed minutes, European GDP numbers, lots of Chinese data and Swedish
inflation. But whether markets will actually be driven by fundamentals depends
on how the conflict between the US and North Korea plays out.
ECB
and FOMC minutes * US consumer confidence * UK inflation * Chinese industrial
production
A
military confrontation between US and North Korea is a low-probability but
high-impact event
for
markets * Current risk aversion is likely to be temporary although it will be bumpy
and headline-driven * If there is a military confrontation, we would expect an
acceleration of this week’s price action * Our quantitative business cycle
model signals that the US is gaining speed * A pick-up in US growth suggests
that US yields and equities should head higher when North Korean tensions fade
Asia: Three opportunities for North Korean
tensions to ease – or not * Canada: What’s on the menu? * US: Relatively soon,
or not * Europe: German growth, UK inflation should both peak over 2017 H2 *
LatAm: Cry for Argentina?
Swelling
of low-grade spreads looms
Anxiety
over North Korea * US inflation falls marginally short of expectations…again * Chinese
reserves continue to recover
