6 August 2025 Global Monitor July payrolls open the door for Fed easing in September

  • US - Dire July employment report makes a September easing far more likely
  • EUROZONE - Our ECB and SNB rate cut calls now hang in the balance
  • UK - Payroll falls should ease as tax hike drag begins to fade
  • CHINA+ - China’s Politburo strikes confident tone about trade risks
  • EM ASIA - Taiwan’s retail sales shrink in Q2; downside risk to our 6.4% GDP call

6 August 2025 US Monitor Why have tariff revenues undershot the White House's expectations?

  • China’s share of US imports has collapsed to just 7%, from 13%, but looks set to rebound soon. 
  • Some importers likely have gamed the de minimis exemption, but the loophole will close later this month.
  • Services inflation likely will remain contained, despite the further increase in the ISM prices index.

6 August 2025 LatAm Monitor Chile's recovery holds despite mining slump and fiscal challenges ahead

  • Chile's non-mining sectors remain robust, helped by strong consumption and improving investment.
  • The slump in mining output is weighing on headline growth, but external demand and copper are buffers.
  • Fiscal pressures are rising as revenues lag behind target, raising the risk of budget-tightening ahead.

6 August 2025 Emerging Asia Monitor Two things stood out in Indonesia's Q2 surprise: one clear, one hidden

  • Indonesia’s Q2 GDP defied expectations, with growth rising to 5.1% on the back of investment…
  • …Consumption was stable, unsurprisingly, but our more realistic proxy series shows a Q2 jump.
  • The Philippines’ soft July CPI print was no surprise to us, but should mark the low of the current cycle.

6 August 2025 Eurozone Monitor Italy and Spain starting Q3 on a solid footing, according to PMIs

  • The EZ PMI was revised down, largely due to a downward revision to France’s already-weak index. 
  • Spain’s and Italy’s composite PMIs are much higher than those of France and Germany. 
  • French industrial production soared in June, but mainly on the back of a one-off in transport.

6 August 2025 UK Monitor GDP likely rebounded in June, with 0.2% growth month-to-month

  • We expect GDP to rise 0.2% month-to-month in June, as retail sales, real estate and autos output rebound.
  • Our call points to quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.2% in Q2, above the 0.1% forecast in the MPC’s May MPR.
  • We think growth will run close to potential for the rest of 2025, giving the MPC little room for manoeuvre.

Global Datanote: Inflation, Switzerland, July 2025

In one line: Above consensus; September cut hangs in the balance. 

5 August 2025 US Monitor The average effective tariff rate is now near 20%; upside risks ahead

  • The average effective tariff rate has risen to 19%, from 16% a month ago; risks tilt towards a further rise.
  • Shifting trade flows, margin compression and price rises abroad will temper the boost to consumer prices.
  • The DOGE cuts were a small but significant drag on GDP in Q2, and probably will be again in Q3.

5 August 2025 LatAm Monitor Colombia's BanRep on hold amid fiscal and external uncertainties

  • Sticky core inflation and rising wage risk delay further cuts in Colombia, despite headline disinflation.
  • Governor Villar flagged the worsening public finances; FM Bonilla offered little clarity on budget plans.
  • We expect a shallow easing cycle, with cuts resuming only if inflation risks ease meaningfully.

5 August 2025 Eurozone Monitor Hawkish inflation read in Switzerland; is a recession ahead?

  • Swiss headline inflation rose in July, lifting our profile for the coming months…
  • ...But downside risks are mounting, not least as we now see a recession in H2 from higher trade tariffs. 
  • We still expect the SNB to cut its key policy rate by 25bp in September, to -0.25%.

5 August 2025 UK Monitor CPI preview: 3.7% in July as motor fuels prices jump

  • We expect CPI inflation to rise to 3.7% in July from 3.6% in June, as motor fuel prices increase.
  • We see upside risk to our goods price call after strong BRC Shop Price inflation and flash Eurozone CPI.
  • We now expect inflation to peak at 4.0% in September, up from 3.8% previously, as food price inflation rises.
