Markets settled down a little on Monday with Treasuries yields retracing nearly half their Friday spike and equities posting another modest gain closing just under 2% below their peak on May 21, the day before Chairman Bernanke effectively endorsed tapering. With little data to digest investors are looking to a series of bond auctions and a speech from Chairman Bernanke on Wednesday afternoon to set the tone. Bernanke will speak at a conference sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) titled “The First 100 Years of the Federal Reserve: The Policy Record, Lessons Learned, and Prospects for the Future”. There is no title listed on the conference agenda but Chairman Bernanke closes the conference after four academic papers on political influences on Fed policy, international influences, appropriate design of a central bank, and the Fed’s track record on regulation. The lunch will feature a talk by Paul Volcker moderated by Martin Feldstein. The Federal Reserve Board has confirmed there will be a prepared text for the Chairman’s talk and he will take audience questions.

Germany: Only a small minus for manufacturing in May
Economic Briefing
Germany: Only a small minus for manufacturing in May
In May, German industry cut production by 1% on the previous month. But since output had increased significantly in the two preceding months, the average over April and May was nearly 3% up on the first quarter, which leads us to expect a very large gain in GDP. However, this momentum is unlikely to continue in the third quarter.

Chile: Two Activity Roads Diverged More

Latam Macro Snapshot | 28 Jun 2013 18:26 | 242 Kb
Supply and demand data diverged further in May. Retail sales data showed continued strong consumer demand while manufacturing and IP data reflected slowing production. Manufacturing production declined 4.2% y/y in May, surprising our and market expectations projecting expansions of 1.3% and 1.7% y/y, respectively. The setback in manufacturing production was broad-based with eight of its thirteen divisions retreating in the month. Apart from being impacted by a high comparison base, the main contribution to the annual contraction came from lower production of chemicals (-12.6% y/y).

Germany: Inflation back in the 2% area

Economic Briefing
Germany: Inflation back in the 2% area
German consumer prices surprisingly rose 0.2% month-on-month in June. Food prices were up significantly once again, probably at least in part due to the floods in Germany. Numerous services became more expensive as well. This development seems to be a consequence of strong wage growth. The rate of inflation jumped from 1.5% in May to 1.9% in June.
Kind regards,
