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).

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.

Will Green Shoots Flourish in U.S. and Latin America?

A new Secular Outlook Series Q&A with Josh Thimons and Lupin Rahman is available on pimco.com.

Will Green Shoots Flourish in U.S. and Latin America?

· The U.S. economy is much further along the road to repair relative to its developed market peers, but it is still dealing with an unsustainable fiscal situation.

· Latin America is closely coupled to the rest of the world. What happens in the U.S., China and Europe over the secular horizon is especially critical.

· Our secular investment outlook calls for a more defensive posture toward risk. In U.S. fixed income, this suggests positioning for alpha rather than capital appreciation. And given increasing differentiation across Latin America, investors should stay consistently aware of credit risks.
