Week Commencing 8 June 2009
A reasonably slow agenda in the US includes May’s retail sales report, which is expected to show a pick up in consumer spending following a disappointing outturn for April. Apart from that, wholesale and business inventories for April, as well as the international trade report for the same month will also be watched. The trade data are forecast to show a modest widening in the external deficit but it should remain well off recent highs.
Wednesday’s Beige Book will also be of interest given that it will form the background to the Fed’s discussions at its next meeting on 23/24 June. Finally, the preliminary Michigan sentiment for June should give some insight into the current mood of consumers and the index is forecast to show another modest improvement.
Data from the eurozone largely focuses on the manufacturing side of the economy, with a number of industrial production reports for April due for release. After a collapse in output in Q1, the data are forecast to show that conditions in the sector remain very weak, although the scale of the downturn in activity is expected to ease. German industrial orders for April should also provide some insight in terms of whether the sector is indeed stabilising.
A number of ECB council members, including Trichet, are due to speak over the week and comments will, as always, be closely watched. Meanwhile, the central bank publishes its monthly bulletin on Thursday but this should be similar in tone to last week’s press conference.
In the UK, the May BRC retail sales survey is expected to remain in positive territory, while industrial production data for April are forecast to show activity remaining well down on last year’s levels. House price reports from the DCLG and RICS will be watched for any further signs of stabilisation in the property market, while April’s trade data will be noted for any signs of an improvement in the external deficit.
Meanwhile, although the markets relative appetite for risk, as well as the tone of any data releases, will be important for sterling, the ongoing political upheaval could keep the UK currency in check versus the dollar and euro. Forex markets will also be keeping a close eye on the under pressure Baltic currencies.
Final Q1 GDP data from Japan are forecast to confirm a shocking 4% drop in output for the first three months of the year, which could weigh on the yen.
Other data to watch over the week include trade and core machinery orders for April, as well as May’s economy watchers and consumer confidence surveys. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand meets this week and is forecast to leave rates on hold at 2.50% amid growing signs that the worst is over for the global economy.
