Session without macro references. The inflation outlook in the US and the ECB
Today will be a day without many macroeconomic references, where industrial production in Italy and consumer inflation expectations in the United States will be published.
On Wednesday, US inflation for the month of August will be announced, a relevant reference for the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on the 19th and 20th of this month. “Investors assign a very low probability, less than 10%, that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise its reference rates at the aforementioned meeting, a possibility confirmed by the latest statement of the FOMC members, since most of them rejected a rate hike in September,” said Link Securities experts.
If inflation “surprises” to the upside, the bond and stock markets will respond negatively. On the contrary, if this variable meets expectations – the total remains stable at 4.3% and the underlying fell from 4.7% in July to 4.3% in August – or “improves” the consensus projections of those analysts, the markets will respond favorably.
This Thursday The markets depended on the statements of Christine Lagarde, president of the ECB at the organization’s monthly meeting. The question for investors at the moment is whether the ECB will choose to stop its rate hike process or whether, on the contrary, it will raise rates again for the tenth time in a row. The best thing for the markets, they say at Link Securities, is that “the ECB did not raise its official rates and that it “left the door open” to not do it again if inflation will continue to fall, although we are giving this potential scenario a small chance.” It should also be noted that, since this is the last meeting of the quarter, the ECB will announce its new macroeconomic picture for the Eurozone, where we expect to change the inflation up and the economic growth of the region down, something which, if confirmed, will increase the likelihood of a potential entry into stagflation in the Eurozone economy in the short / medium term.
