CHINA+ DATA WRAP 8 January 2026: Wage growth falls, but regular pay steady

In one line: BoJ won't be fazed by slowing headline wage growth, as regular pay growth is relatively steady

9 January 2026 US Monitor Do flat jobless claims signal the unemployment rate is stabilizing?

  • Unadjusted initial and continuing jobless claims are almost unchanged from a year ago...
  • ...But this is partly due to low seasonal hiring; claims also miss rising youth and long-term unemployment.
  • The Q3 productivity jump merely returns it to trend; tariffs and immigration curbs will limit growth in 2026.

9 January 2026 LatAm Monitor Inflation contained in Mexico and Chile, but policymakers still cautious

  • Sticky core inflation and narrowing policy leeway push Banxico to pause before cautious easing can resume…
  • …Temporary fiscal and wage shocks will lift near-term inflation, but disinflation will maintain its easing bias.
  • Disinflation is holding in Chile as policy nears neutral and the easing cycle approaches its end.

9 January 2026 Eurozone Monitor Deflation no longer on the cards in Switzerland, nor negative rates

  • Swiss CPI in December eliminates the risk of deflation, as well as questions about negative rates. 
  • German factory orders rose strongly midway through Q4, but surveys signal downside risks. 
  • Falling unemployment and rising selling prices in the ESI tilt hawkish after dovish December inflation data.

9 January 2026 UK Monitor GDP likely rose in November despite pre-Budget uncertainty

  • Manufacturing output likely rose in November as auto production recovered after the JLR cyber attack.
  • Leading indicators suggest that consumer-facing services were spared the worst of pre-Budget worries.
  • Output growth in Q4 2025 will likely run close to the MPC’s forecast and the steer from the PMI.

UK Datanote: UK Car Registrations, December 2025

  • In one line: Discounting and post-Budget relief boost autos sales in December, but the trend remains upwards.

EZ Datanote: EZ Construction PMIs & German Unemployment, December 2025

In one line: A modest improvement in EZ construction; no change in Germany’s labour market.   

EZ Datanote: Retail Sales, Germany, November 2025

In one line: Poor, but still consistent with slightly better growth in Q4.

PANTHEON EM ASIA DATA WRAP 7 January 2026

Reviving food inflation should soon return Thai CPI to the black

UK Datanote: UK Final Services and Composite PMI, December 2025

  • In one line: Look past the dissapointing headline, because forward-looking balances improved and price pressures strengthened.

8 January 2026 US Monitor JOLTS data unable to shine light on the biggest labor market questions

  • JOLTS hiring less separations ought to provide a useful cross-check on payrolls, but the track record is poor.
  • Small business openings remain low, but they lag the NFIB hiring index too much to refute its recent pick-up.
  • The inclusion of retailers means the ISM services survey provides a useful steer on tariff-driven inflation.

8 January 2026 LatAm Monitor LatAm currencies diverge as external shocks meet rising domestic risks

  • Brazilian Real — Flows and shifting rate bets
  • Mexican Peso — Range-bound after strong December
  • Colombian Peso — Wage shock and geopolitics weigh

8 January 2026 Emerging Asia Monitor No need to rethink our February BSP cut call after hot December CP

  • The Philippines’ hot December CPI was no surprise to us; we still expect a February BSP rate cut.
  • Thai deflation eased as much as expected in December, but core disappointed to the downside.
  • Taiwanese CPI inched up in December, but we think it will trend down further this year.

8 January 2026 China+ Monitor China's foreign reserves on a rising trend, despite trade frictions

  • China’s $11.5B rise in foreign reserves in December was down entirely to currency-valuation effects.
  • The large trade surplus has been resilient, despite tariff frictions, due to exports expanding into new markets.
  • Our estimated residual net capital outflow probably points to retained export earnings held offshore.

8 January 2026 Eurozone Monitor December inflation sets up a tense Q1 for the ECB

  • EZ inflation shifted dovishly in December, setting up a bigger drop in Q1 than the ECB expected… 
  • …The ECB prefers to sit out near-term volatility in inflation; that preference will be tested in Q1. 
  • German retail sales growth likely improved slightly over Q4, despite the fall in November.
