Emerging Asia Daily Monitor Datanotes
- The number of people out of work dropped by the most in over three years in July…
- ...As a result, the EZ unemployment rate fell to 6.2% in July and is likely to have held steady in August.
- Labour-market data provide little ammunition for ECB doves in their fight for another rate cut.
In one line: Down to a record low.
In one line: Hinting at a fall in Q3.
In one line: Unwelcome rise in services selling price expectations.
In one line: Steady, and solid, growth in EZ money supply.
In one line: Stung by crash in net trade.
In one line: Grim, and little scope for near-term improvement.
In one line: Still pointing to downside risks.
In one line: Germany fared worse than initially expected in Q2.
In one line: Down further below its long-run average.
In one line: Down again but up over Q2 still.
In one line: Resilient to the latest rise in US tariffs, despite hit to foreign orders.
In one line: Up, but output is still falling.
In one line: Only little signs of a hit from higher US tariffs.
- The PMIs suggest higher US tariffs are weighing on export orders, as we expected…
- ...But the EZ economy is still resilient; the composite PMI edged up to a 15-month high in August.
- Price pressures rose again, implying the risk to our call for an ECB rate cut in September is for no cut.
In one line: Inflation will rise to year-end, but there’s still chance of an ECB rate cut in September.
- Stable inflation in July was confirmed; the core held steady but food and energy inflation rose.
- Higher inflation is on the cards, as energy deflation continues to unwind and food inflation climbs.
- For now, though, we think a fall in core inflation will convince the ECB to push through another rate cut.
- The EZ current account surplus widened in June, despite a sharp drop in the goods trade balance.
- Services trade was a boost to GDP in Q2, unlike goods trade.
- Foreign investors are funnelling into EZ assets, but this isn’t a new Trump-era trend.
- The hit to EZ goods trade from higher US tariffs is visible in the nominal monthly figures.
- Goods trade was a drag on EZ GDP in Q2, mainly due to a fall in exports to the US in April to June.
- We suspect the nominal goods trade surplus will turn to a deficit in Q3.
