Private Sector Growth In Europe Elicits Collective Sigh Of Relief
Despite fears about the wider fallout of Brexit, it seems that Continental Europe is not suffering from any economic slowdown caused by the vote in the UK. Quite on the contrary, private sector growth continued this month, and it even delivered a pleasant surprise in France. Nevertheless investors should be cautious. These good figures might not necessarily continue to come during the following months. Analysts are not expecting the EU to climb out of its sluggish growth patterns anytime soon.
Figures show that the EU grew at a pace of 0.3% over the last quarter. This matched analyst expectations, and contrasts with the surprising surge in French growth. Private sector growth there managed to pull the country out of the stagnation it showed during the second quarter. The recent terrorist attacks and threats have had a significant impact on the growth in the service sector in France, with the tourism industry growing by about 1% only. It was expected to expand by more than 2%. read more…
Oil See-Saws Back Down
From bears to bulls to bears again, it seems like oil’s wild ride has found an interesting pivot point on which it see-saws from one week to the next. Over the past 2 weeks, oil prices recovered and touched the $50 USD per barrel psychological barrier. At this point, the factors that are keeping supply high and prices well below their 2014 highs, kicked in again. The US added 10 oil rigs, completing an 8 week oil rig count increase, while China flooded the markets with refined products – gasoline and diesel. The threat of attacks against oil infrastructure in Nigeria subsided and Iraq declared it will put an additional 150,000 barrels of oil per day on the market. This rounded the over-supply trend off, and sent the price diving, according to Reuters. read more…
Is China Headed For A Bust?
One of the most marvelous economic stories of the last 2 decades seems to be running into murky waters. Experts are increasingly pointing to the excess of credit in China, and decreasing economic growth as the driving forces behind the next global financial meltdown. Many of these experts are saying that the downturn is not only inevitable, but that it is imminent.
Much of the economic data that may show that the Chinese slowdown is heading towards a stall and crash situation, raises justifiable concerns. There is excessive corporate debt in China, and credit keeps on growing in a global environment of cheap money. The expansion of credit might be unsustainable, and could trigger a downturn similar to the 2008-09 crisis in the US – which eventually spread around the world. read more…
Rate Hike Speculation Continues
Carefully worded statements matter, especially when the vice-chairman of the rate setting FOMC – Federal Open Market Committee – is the one releasing the statement. Markets will react immediately, following their hyper-sensitive tendencies. The problem is that although these statements might signal the right policy choice, and should be taken as a warning, once the deadline to act passes without any rate hikes, then another piece of credibility erodes. That is precisely why the markets are in this conundrum.
This time it was William Dudley who issued the statement, warning about market complacency regarding a possible rate hike during the Fed’s September meeting. The statement clearly states that the markets are underestimating the possibility of a rate hike, and it could well happen in September. The problem is that the markets have gotten these kinds of warnings time and again, but nothing has happened. read more…
