Manufacturers are Blocking the Free Flow of LNG

Capitalism’s invisible hand has some interference when it comes to exporting liquefied natural gas. The producers of that super-cooled fuel want to ship their product overseas but manufacturers remain defiant and are blocking their path.

Eco Analysis - France: No sign of sentiment up according to INSEE (M. martinez)
Eco Analysis - France: No sign of sentiment up according to INSEE (M. martinez)
The most observed component of the INSEE survey, the business climate index in the industrial sector fell from 89 to 86. As it improves slightly in the service sector, the business climate index for the whole economy was stable at 87. This is a low level (1.3 standard deviations below average) which points at best to stalled activity in the near term. We have the long held view that INSEE surveys help generally improve accurate forecasts of GDP growth in the near term (our econometric model has a solid R²=0.93). The main reason is that the INSEE surveys are completed on a broad basis (4,000 of companies). The January surveys' results do not change our forecast at -0.1%qoq in Q4 12 and Q1 13, but we believe risks are tilted to the downside. Bottom line: the government 2013 GDP growth forecast of 0.8% looks increasingly unlikely after such a weak start to 2013 (SG forecast for 2013 is zero growth). Hence, we believe that the government would be obliged to make a further budgetary adjustment to achieve the public deficit target (3.0% of GDP). The government could instead opt for a minor fiscal slippage. We believe that the government will not confront such a choice before March 2013, once final 2012 GDP and fiscal figures will be known.

Eco Analysis - UK in or out? (B. Hilliard)
Eco Analysis - UK in or out? (B. Hilliard)
UK PM Cameron delivered his “Europe” speech in London and committed to holding a referendum on Britain's future in the EU if a Conservative government is re-elected in May 2015. The issue is thus set to remain theoretical for a while, but uncertainty can have a negative impact on investment flows into UK in the meantime. On the data side in Europe, French industrial confidence surprised on the downside in January as internal and external demand ebbed. Hence, in contrast with the German Zew survey, hopes that the improved market sentiment paves the way for more positive hard data in the euro area will be disappointed (at least in France in the short term).
