Last Friday, the headline PCE figure for June came in at 3%, the lowest annual increase since March 2021 and just one percentage point over the Fed’s target of 2% inflation; Core set at 4.1. US indices cheered the data and are set for another strong month of gains, the fifth in a row for the US500 that is up 3% in July compared to Nasdaq which has increased 3.8%. Industrial production y/y fell in Japan as did retail sales on a monthly basis; in China, manufacturing PMI is still in contraction (49.3), while the services component is deteriorating (51.5 from 53.2). China just issued measures to recover and expand consumption as per a State Council Document just released. JPY keeps collapsing despite the ”adjustment” on the 10y policy: last Friday a mysterious buyer stepped in at 0.57%, today the BOJ officially announced unscheduled bond buying at 0.60%. This week we have the BOE and RBA (the latter tomorrow morning, expected to raise by 25 bps to 4.35% despite the latest inflation data), US NFP data and the earnings season continues with AAPL and AMZN reporting on Thursday.
