Market Movers ahead

  • Eurozone core inflation was probably low again in May, although that will hardly cause the ECB to cut rates.
  • We estimate that U.S. consumer confidence is heading higher, and this will be reflected in the coming week's figures.
  • A string of data releases from Japan is expected to confirm that the economy is picking up.
  • GDP data is due from Sweden and Denmark. Swedish numbers could increase pressure to cut rates. Important figures for April are due from all three Scandinavian countries.

Global Update

  • Uncertainty on the Chinese economy and global monetary policy triggered turmoil in the markets. We see this as a correction, not the start of a new trend.
  • The U.S. Fed signalled that a scaling down of the QE programme has moved closer.
  • PMI figures show that China's upswing is slowing, probably just temporarily.
  • Pronounced market movements in Japan bring its very accommodative monetary policy into question.
  • Pressure for a rate cut in Sweden is mounting, although the labor market is not as bad as unemployment figures might suggest.
