Global Data Pod EM Edge: No changes to flight plans

Katie Marney and Nicolaie Alexandru discuss recent developments in the EM Edge economies. The outlook had turned more favorable for the EM Edge, aided by macro adjustments and a supportive external environment. Since then, markets have priced out earlier easing by DM central banks. While some of the optimism may have been tempered, the evolving external narrative has not challenged our views. Central Bank reaction functions should continue to be guided by domestic growth/inflation, which remain broadly favorable. Frontiers can also take comfort in the fact that shifts in global markets have not negatively impacted exchange rates. Easier financial conditions have also reduced liquidity concerns for some economies. The outlook for frontier economies remains broadly positive, in our view, absent a more aggressive repricing of the Fed and the dollar.

Global Data Pod Weekender: Testing confidence

This week’s activity reports suggest that global growth is resilient and forming a broader base as we start the new year. Inflation readings point to stickiness. Next week’s Powell testimony and ECB meeting should show these developments tempering but not derailing central bank confidence that inflation will continue to decline.

Global Data Pod Weekender: The new year starts with a bang

The upside surprises to January US inflation need to be viewed in the context of considerable seasonal noise. That said, there is growing evidence globally that a phase of sharply slowing goods price inflation is ending. And details of this week’s reports suggest that part of the gap that lowered core PCE inflation to a 2%ar will not persist. On the growth front, it is reasonable to see January as a month in which a strong run of US consumer spending gains is ending. There is no sign as yet that the persistent weakness in spending in Europe and Japan is fading.

Global Data Pod Weekender: A hinge

We enter the new year with the US and global economies displaying healthy momentum amid widespread optimism that a substantial ease by DM central banks has been delayed but not deferred. The sustainability of this year’s significant rise in risk appetite hinges on the realization of sustained growth and easing, a development that will be challenged if expectations for another step-down in core inflation are not realized.

Global Data Pod Research Rap: Sizing up China’s policy easing

China economists Haibin Zhu and Grace Ng join Nora Szentivanyi to discuss China’s policy easing measures to stabilize growth. Using 2015-16 as a benchmark, a more modest scale of easing this time around reflects a shift in focus to high-quality growth, as well as more limited room for fiscal and monetary stimulus. To stabilize 2024 growth the government will need to step up policy efforts, including more forceful measures to stabilize the housing market. However, in order to address the supply-demand imbalance in the economy, and support medium term growth, the policy bias will need to shift from supporting production to consumption and domestic demand.

Global Data Pod Research Rap: US core inflation to bolster Fed confidence

Dan Silver joins Nora Szentivanyi to discuss the outlook for US core inflation and implications for the Fed.  The trend for core  inflation moderated in 2023 but the CPI and PCE measures sent differing signals about how close inflation was to target late last year. We expect core CPI run rates to slow to 2.9%ar in 1H24 alongside a modest firming in core PCE inflation to a still low 2.2%ar. If our forecast is correct, year-ago core PCE inflation could dip below 2.5% as soon as the February report (released in late March) and enable the Fed to start easing in May/June. However, with tailwinds from the unwinding of supply chain shocks fading, some softening in the labor market will likely still be needed to keep inflation close to the 2% target on a sustainable basis.

Global Data Pod Weekender: Powell sees shadow of growth, no cuts until midyear

Insufficient clarity on the disinflation path along with surprising strength in the economy and labor market keeps the Fed wanting more data before cutting rates. The global industrial sector remains sluggish for now but got some positive news in the January surveys. Amid the talk of soft-landing versus recession, the odds of no-landing are rising. Whether strengthening demand comes with enough supply to keep inflation in check is unclear.
