Beyond the issue associated with the future of interest rates in the US (and its impact on the Euro), European investors will begin to give increasing weight to the referendum on the United Kingdom staying in the European Union, to be held on 23 this month. After a great advantage in favor of permanence, recent surveys point to a minimum differential between the two camps. In addition to surveys, investors have monitored the odds that the bookmakers have assigned to each scenario. Another barometer is the evolution of the British Pound. An appreciation of the British currency may indicate a gr...

Although the unemployment rate is very sensitive to statistical adjustments, a decline as steep unemployment in weak job creation scenario is a rather contradictory combination. The only certainty that stemmed from this report is that wages continue to grow (0.20% monthly; 2.50% in annual terms), confirming the trend of recent months. The main reading from this report is that increases uncertainty about the future of monetary policy in the US. This indicator raises the question whether after this data (which should probably be revised upwards next month) is sufficiently striking for the Fed to...

On one hand, rising wages increases consumption and reflexively boosts GDP. On the other hand, the increase in wages generates inflation (increasing production costs and intensifying the demand for goods and services), helping the Fed to achieve the desired 2%. Thus, the two main employment report variables will be job creation and change in wages. Most likely, it is sufficient that only one of the two variables increase to reinforce the likelihood of an increase in US interest rates. Even if there a significant reduction in employment but accompanied by a rise in wages, the Fed may consider t...

During the press conference, Mario Draghi should reiterate that monetary policy remains accommodative. It will be interesting to see if Mario Draghi will mention some risks approaching on the horizon, as the referendum in England (June 23) and the legislative elections in Spain (26 June).

After trading above 50 USD / barrel on both sides of the Atlantic, crude has in recent hours a sharp devaluation. This downward movement is explained by the approach of the OPEC meeting tomorrow (which led some investors to profit taking), the statements of the Minister of the UAE oil (which reports that it is satisfied with the current market conditions, away so the scene of a freeze on production) and the disappointing data of the Chinese economy.

After a few weeks of under-performance, Chinese stocks were boosted by a Goldman Sachs study that assigns a probability between 50% and 70% of some types of Chinese shares to be included in the MSCI indices. These indices serve as a benchmark for many global managers. So, after being included in these indexes, global managers necessarily have to buy them for their portfolios. In Japan industrial production rose 0.30%, while household spending has retreated to 0.40%.

The rise in European markets during yesterday’s session was due in part to the recent decline of the euro. Despite the depreciation of the European currency has started two weeks ago, only recently (when finally broke the 12.01 against the dollar) is that stock markets began to react to this movement. The depreciation of the Euro does not always translate into a recovery of European markets; often translates into a mere over-performance compared to their American counterparts. Despite the devaluation of the past few weeks (which was due to a higher probability of a rise in US interest ra...

The first consequence of the prospect of an increase in interest rates was a generalized rise in US interest rates in the bond and money markets. With this increase becomes more attractive hold dollars because they are remunerated at a higher interest rate than the Euro and the Yen (two currencies with a perception of risk almost identical to the US dollar). But the appreciation of the dollar makes the purchase of commodities (whose price is expressed in US dollars) more expensive for European and Asian buyers. On the other hand, with the appreciation of the dollar (depreciation of the Euro) b...

The reason for yesterday’s fall is related to the relationship between inflation, the Fed and economic growth. Inflation, as measured by consumer prices, recorded the largest monthly increase in the last three years (0.40 +%). To this increase contributed the rising fuel prices, housing rents and some medical services. In annual terms, the consumer price index stood at 1.10%. When excluded the most volatile goods, inflation stood at 02.10%, up from 2% desired by the Fed. Although the Central Bank has a preference for inflation associated with the household expenses, today’s data co...

Asian indexes closed higher, despite the worrying signs coming from the Chinese economy. The economic data in China continue to justify the seizure of investors.

Retail sales, which include some public entities expenses increased 10.10% in April, a lower variation than 10.50% anticipated. As private investment, domestic consumption is one of the prioritie...

Asian markets closed with losses of more than 1%, explained by the weakness of Wall Street. The declines were particularly marked in Japan due to the appreciation of the Yen. The minutes of the last meeting of the Bank of Japan, whose decision not to adopt more stimulus measures deeply disappointed the market, revealed that the Commission estimates a moderate GDP growth, although lower than previously anticipated.

Although private consumption has been one of the most resilient elements of the US economy in the 1st quarter, its growth is still modest especially in the light of the various positive factors that have favored household income as rising wages, the psychological effect caused by low unemployment, reduced interest rates (to reduce the financial burden), the decline in fuel prices, etc. Thus, the weakness of the retail sector and doubts at the macroeconomic level have spread up to more cyclical sectors, with the exception of the oil sector.
