1 In the US, activity wasn t as dynamic as expected at the start of the year, however this could be due to temporary factors Economy should continue to expand at a 3 percent path or so in 218, thanks to tax cuts, booming profits and credit In the wake of higher oil prices and more evident tensions in the labour market, inflation is accelerating It will overshoot the level for a while and the Fed will keep on normalizing monetary conditions We forecast the Fed Funds target rate to reach 2.75% by early 219. The Euro area, the recovery is continuing, although it has been weaker than expected at the start of the year Intra-EU trade continues to build with domestic demand, especially corporate investment. Inflation has rebounded in the wake of higher oil prices, but the core CPI trend remains subdued, which argues for the ECB to maintain the status quo on key rates. However, along with the Fed s net selling, the slower pace in ECB asset purchases should impact the long end of the curve We see the long term rates for US Treasuries and Bunds rising in 218. % e 219 e e 219 e Advanced United-States Japan United-Kingdom Euro Area Germany France Italy Spain Emerging China India Brazil Russia Source : BNP Paribas Group Economic Research (e: Estimates & forecasts,)
