The Day Ahead

Asian equity markets are mostly modestly higher this morning, partly erasing yesterday’s declines. Overnight, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand increased interest rates again by 50bp to 2.5%, as policymakers focus on combating inflation. The Bank of Korea stepped up the pace of tightening with a 50bp increase in interest rates to 2.25%, the highest level for eight years.

Data released this morning showed UK GDP in May rose by 0.5%m/m stronger than the consensus forecast. It was the biggest increase since January but is likely a reflection of the extra working day in May because one of the month’s usual bank holidays was moved to June for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. There were solid rises in industrial production and construction output, and a smaller rise in services. However, June GDP (due next month) will likely fall due to the two Jubilee bank holidays and will probably result in a contraction in Q2 GDP growth overall.

US CPI inflation for June is the key data release today. Expect annual headline CPI to rise again to 8.8%, a new four- decade high reflecting rising energy and food prices. Annual core inflation is expected to ease for a third straight month to 5.8%. Base effects, however, mean that annual core CPI could pick up again in Q3 to offset any downward pressures on headline inflation from the recent fall in the oil price. Today’s CPI data, together with Friday’s retail sales and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey, could have a significant impact on Federal Reserve’s decision about how much to raise interest rates. Markets are currently almost fully priced for the Fed to increase interest rates by another 75bp to a 2.25-2.50% range later this month.

The Bank of Canada is expected to increase interest rates today by 75bp to 2.25%, the highest level since 2008. Financial markets have fully priced that outcome and anticipate Canadian policy rates rising to 3.5% by year-end.

Eurozone industrial production figures for May will receive limited attention. Expect a 0.5%m/m rise, flattered by a strong rebound in Ireland. The monthly data for the largest Eurozone countries showed broadly flat output in Germany and France and falls in Italy and Spain. Yesterday’s German ZEW survey of finance professionals showed a decline in their expectations for the economic outlook to the weakest level since 2008 on concerns about energy supplies, ECB rate rises and the Covid situation in China.
