Vinicius Moreira and Tingting Ge join Nora Szentivanyi to discuss how the shift in China’s commodity imports away from the US have benefitted key commodity producers such as Brazil. Since the 2018 trade war, Brazil’s share in China’s imports has been growing, especially relative to the US performance. On the top of that, China has been importing commodities beyond what the domestic fundamentals would indicate. These factors are helping to keep demand for Brazilian products elevated, creating incentives for the local production, and making the trade surplus wider than otherwise it would have been.

After a consequential week on inflation, this week focuses on growth tracking. Global IP is on track for a bounce this quarter, as expected, but a softening in consumer goods spending raises some concern about sustainability. So too does a disappointing set of June flash PMIs. On balance, however, we still see solid support for an expansion that is already expected to moderate into the second half.

In a consequential week for the US, the first soft inflation print in five months gave the Fed and markets some relief. The Fed remained cautious but hopeful with an unchanged narrative: still eyeing a rate cutting cycle that begins this year and continues with nine cuts through 2026.

After a month of data tilting a bit softer, this week’s news reaffirmed the resilience in the global expansion. A strong set of PMIs were capped off by a strong US payroll report. With fading fears on growth, central banks are left questioning the pace of cuts. The ECB and BoC both eased this week but were more cautious looking forward. Next week’s Fed should deliver caution as well with an adjustment up in the 2024 dots and possibly in 2025.

In a data-heavy short week, the latest news points to somewhat softer growth and inflation but none of which alter views of a resilient expansion and sticky elevated inflation that will keep central banks more cautious. Next week’s global PMIs will be important for tracking our call of a manufacturing lift into midyear, while US payrolls to show continued support for consumers and the ECB and BoC look set to begin a tentative cutting cycle.

The May flash PMIs this week add to confidence that US growth is resilient and that Europe is rebounding from last year’s stall. Consumer spending is still a weak point in Europe through last quarter, but this only reinforces our view that spending will perk up. Confidence in the disinflation path still points to ECB and BoC cuts in June, while risks for the Fed and BoE are pushing further out—underscored by a warning in this week’s Fed minutes and a strong upside surprise in UK April inflation.

Joseph Lupton joins Nora Szentivanyi to discuss recent shifts in consumer confidence, its fundamental drivers and the outlook for consumer spending. Macroeconomic fundamentals such inflation, income growth, labor markets and stock markets explain a reasonable share of movements in consumer confidence. But the latest consumer sentiment readings for DM economies broadly sit below the levels suggested by macro conditions. A decoupling of this consumer “malaise” from actual consumer behavior in the US drove an acceleration in global consumer spending last quarter. And with the latest PMI surveys indicating that the base for global growth is broadening, we expect consumer spending in a few key regional weak-spots (particularly Western Europe) to follow suit in the months ahead.
