- In one line: Enough to allow the MPC to wait until April to cut again.
- In one line: The BI rate won’t go anywhere this year.
- In one line: Another no-move meeting, with optimism building.
- In one line: Just about enough to salvage Q4.
- Tax refunds this year likely will exceed 2025’s total by about $90B, equal to 0.4% of disposable income...
- ...Most refunds will be made over the next three months, facilitating a temporary jump in spending.
- Low confidence and saving, however, mean we expect only one-third of the extra cash to be spent.
- Brazil — Legal battles and electoral risk
- Colombia — Risk premium rises ahead of elections
- Peru — Politics unsettled, markets remain resilient
- Bank Indonesia remained on hold yesterday, a position we expect to continue for all of 2026…
- …Worries over BI’s independence seem overblown; note its sovereign debt holding is no longer rising.
- Core IP in India firmed up more in December, but Q4 on the whole, and the details are uninspiring.
- The EU, following the Mercosur deal, looks all set to sign the “mother of all deals” with India.
- A trade deal involving energy could secure key markets for EU manufacturing, and energy imports.
- Both India and the EU are motivated to get a deal done at the end of January.
- Tobacco duty and a jump in airfares drove up CPI inflation to 3.4% in December, a touch above our call.
- We note a few obvious erratic factors, with a January airfares correction likely balanced by solid hotel prices.
- Inflation gives rate-setters little reason to rush to cut next month, but we see a final rate reduction in April.
In one line: China’s LPR on hold in January; targeted structural rate cuts unclog credit supply and hopefully induce more loan demand.
In one line: Investor were optimistic ahead of the stand-off over Greenland; EZ construction sector turning a corner.
In one line: China inflation was firmer in December, but sustained reflation remains challenging
In one line: Bank of Korea drops its easing bias as currency stability takes priority
In one line: Diversification keeps China exports float in 2025; December export upticks largely support by ASEAN & BRICS demand
In one line: China’s PPI sees firmer monthly momentum, but sustained reflation remains challenging
- US - Have foreign businesses eaten the increase in US tariffs?
- EUROZONE - Greenland now the epicentre of a frayed EU-US relationship
- UK - GDP growth in Q4 will beat the MPC’s forecast
- CHINA+ - PBoC focusing on targeted support to further strategic goals
- EM ASIA - Malaysian Q4 GDP surprises to the upside, thanks again to the AI boom
- LATAM - Mexico’s consumption leads and capex lags; Brazil’s activity stabilising
- GDPNow’s forecast track record is far from perfect, and its latest projections are based on limited data.
- We think it is overstating the likely strength of consumption, and the boost from trade and inventories.
- The EU’s proposed tariffs on US exports would hurt little, but services barriers could be a bigger deal.
- Argentina’s inflation fell sharply over 2025, though momentum is fading as utility tariffs normalise…
- …Fiscal discipline and a redesigned FX regime will determine whether inflation falls close to 20% in 2026.
- Primary weakness weighed on November activity in Peru, but underlying growth momentum is strong.
- Malaysian exports blew past expectations in December; analysts underestimated the AI boom...
- …We have upgraded our 2026 GDP forecast, as we think AI demand will remain firm for some time.
- Malaysia’s inflation ticked up in December, but we consider this a one-off not a re-acceleration.
- Chinese policymakers apparently see little prospect of a short-term residential property-market recovery.
- The home provident fund reform is unlikely to boost property demand, barring a huge funding injection.
- Developer credit risk remains high, as home sales income falls and policy support is adjusted.
