- 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.
- 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.

Reviving food inflation should soon return Thai CPI to the black
- In one line: Look past the dissapointing headline, because forward-looking balances improved and price pressures strengthened.

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