September sentiment upswing
underpinned by FED and China
- jackpotjoy casino Global equities had a shaky start at the beginning of September on growth fears and US election uncertainty. But market sentiment swung around on Fed rate cuts and a broader than expected, late month, policy easing from China.
- Overall, US data releases were in line with our central scenario of a “soft landing” — to which we assign nearly even odds — where growth slows to a below trend rate for a while, and inflation shifts down to target. But there were also glimmers of a “re-acceleration” — 30% odds — with improving consumer sentiment, a pick-up in corporate refinancing, and the China stimulus taking out adverse left-tail macro risks and tantalizing markets with more upside.
- European markets were less buoyant with euro area flash PMIs falling into contractionary territory, and sentiment was beaten down further by downbeat Geran industrial confidence. But rapidly easing inflation has raised the odds of quicker ECB cuts.
- In Asia, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) stayed on hold after its surprise hike last month. But the jackpotjoy bingo election of a new prime minister, Mr. Ishiba, raised market concerns about a hawkish tilt in policies going forward, and which strengthened the yen and weighed on Japanese equities.
