1 Global Economic January Analysis 6, 2017 Weekly Macro Commentary: US Manufacturing and Housing Market Remain Solid; Inflation in Eurozone Improves 1) US: The most recent economic data releases indicate a solid manufacturing sector and housing market in the US. The ISM Manufacturing Index points to further expansion, and new orders jumped in November. Home prices moderated upward in October and existing home sales edged up in November. However, a drop in pending home sales in November revealed weakness that will likely be reflected in December s figures. 2) Europe: The eurozone CPI improved, with Germany s data coming in stronger than its peers. The UK s GDP in the third quarter was revised upward and the UK manufacturing PMI rose markedly. However, the outlook for the country s manufacturing sector depends largely on its relationship with the EU and the outcome of Brexit. 3) Asia-Pacific: In China, both the Caixin Manufacturing PMI and the services PMI showed improvements. Singapore s GDP jumped in the fourth quarter after having contracted in the third quarter. Japan s industrial production was buoyed by a weaker yen. 4) Latin America: In Brazil, both the manufacturing and services sectors remained in contractionary territory amid high unemployment and weakening consumer confidence. Mexico s retail sales jumped in October, while the country s unemployment rate edged up. 1
2 Our View The Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes released during the week revealed confidence on the part of US policy makers, whose marked-up economic projections in December reflected a more hawkish stance on interest rate normalization. President-elect Donald Trump s pledges of massive fiscal stimulus and reforms have improved market sentiment in the country. However, the form, magnitude and timing of the proposed policies remain uncertain. The depreciation of the Chinese yuan in recent months has brought a much milder shock to global markets compared with one year ago. Against the backdrop of an outlook for a likely yuan depreciation and a US dollar appreciation, attention will now shift from the yuan cross rate with the US dollar to the yuan s real effective exchange rate against a basket of trading partners currencies.

3 US: ISM Manufacturing Index Points to Further Expansion; Housing Market Remains Solid The ISM Manufacturing Index ticked up to 54.7 in December, up 1.5 points from November s reading. The ISM data showed broad-based strength, with new orders jumping to 60.2 from 53.0 in November. Figure 2. US: ISM Manufacturing PMI (Seasonally Adjusted) Dec 11 Dec 12 Dec 13 Dec 14 Dec 15 Dec 16 Source: ISM The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20- City Composite Home Price Index increased by 0.6% month over month in October. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index increased by 0.6% month over month in October, above the expected 0.5% and following an upward revision to 0.5% in the previous month. Existing home sales edged up 0.7% month over month in November, reaching 5.61 million. Pending home sales dropped 2.5% month over month in November, revealing weakness that will be reflected in December s data. The fear of a drop in home prices following mortgage rate hikes counteracts buyers attempts to lock in low mortgage rates before they spike further. Figure 3.

Real personal spending grew by 0.1% month over month in November, while real disposable income edged down 0.1%. 3
4 In the eurozone, the core CPI, which excludes food and energy price movements, ticked up 0.9% year over year in December. EU: Inflation Edges Up in Eurozone; UK s PMI Jumps In the eurozone, the advance estimate of December s CPI showed an increase of 1.1% year over year. The figure was higher than the estimate of 1.0% and the November reading of 0.6%. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy price movements, ticked up 0.9% year over year. Germany s preliminary CPI data indicated 1.7% growth, topping the median estimate of 1.4% and the previous month s 0.8% increase. Figure 4. Eurozone: CPI (Nonseasonally Adjusted), YoY % Change (0.5) (1.0) Dec 14 Dec 15 Dec 16 Source: Eurostat Headline Core The UK s final reading of quarter-over-quarter GDP growth in the third quarter was revised upward to 0.6%. The UK Nationwide House Price Index ticked up 0.8% month over month in December, above the median estimate of 0.2%. UK consumer credit rose to 1.9 billion, its highest level since 2005, showing a resilient consumer market amid uncertainties in Europe. The UK manufacturing PMI for December rose markedly, to 56.1, above the median estimate of 53.3, but we remain cautious on the outlook for the UK s manufacturing sector. The UK manufacturing PMI for December rose markedly, to 56.1, above the median estimate of The underlying fundamentals of the sector paint a mixed picture. A weak pound supports demand for exports, but the manufacturing sector imports a large amount of materials for production, which drives up the cost of production. Moreover, uncertainties regarding the UK s relationship with the EU could dampen export growth, and such growth could even turn negative following a hard Brexit. Figure 5.

5 In China, both the official and Caixin PMI gauges point to further improvement in conditions for manufacturers and service providers. Asia-Pacific: China s PMIs Show Positive Signs; Singapore and Japan Improve In China, both the official and Caixin PMI gauges point to further improvement in conditions for manufacturers and service providers. China s official manufacturing PMI in December edged down to 51.4 from 51.7 in November, remaining above the expansion threshold of The nonmanufacturing PMI also fell, dropping to 54.5 from The Caixin Manufacturing PMI was 51.9 for December, increasing from 50.9 in November and coming in above expectations of The Caixin Services PMI also edged up, to Taiwan s manufacturing PMI continued to rise, reaching 56.2, while Hong Kong s manufacturing PMI edged up to Figure 6. Greater China: Manufacturing PMIs Dec 14 Dec 15 Dec 16 China (Official) China (Caixin) Taiwan Hong Kong Source: China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing/Caixin/Nikkei In Singapore, GDP jumped 9.1% in the fourth quarter on a quarter-over-quarter basis, far ahead of expectations of a 4.0% increase and showing a sharp improvement from the third quarter s 1.9% contraction. Singapore s economy has been buoyed by electronics and biomedical manufacturing and by the services sector, which includes transportation and business services. Figure 7.

6 Japan s November industrial production increased by 4.6% year over year, largely driven by a weaker yen. However, the national CPI remained lackluster. The all items CPI edged up 0.5% and the core CPI, which excludes fresh food, decreased by 0.3%, showing that Japan has not yet shrugged off deflationary pressure. The legalization of casino facilities in Japan may spark tourism and entertainment spending, but we expect the impact will be seen only after Figure 8.
