Is summer finally coming?

Edito The economic recovery is becoming clearer in Europe: PMI of the different countries are higher than expected, the European council agreed to provide a budgetary support of 750 billion euros. Despite this good news, the summer will be busy: the economic figures for Q2 will disappoint , the labour market continues to deteriorate in the United States and tensions with China are escalating . In terms of health, fears of a second wave are increasingly materialising in Europe. Globally, the 15 million cases have been exceeded this week, and about 70,000 new cases a day are registered in the United States. While the summer will offer us several health and economic surprises, we take a break in our Marche Hebdo the time to enjoy our holidays . We will meet on Friday 28 August for the next publication. Happy holidays to all and kee p masks on !

July CPI Review: Goods Prices Remain Behaved

Overall the July CPI report showed less tariff related goods pressures than expected, in a month where we believed increased price pass-throughs would be more evident. Where tariff related cost increases are being absorbed along the supply chain is yet to be determined (tomorrow’s PPI should help inform), but thus far while goods prices are rising faster than earlier in the year, the impact in July was less than expected. For details, headline CPI came out at +0.2% m/m (+0.197% unrounded, +0.2% consensus) and +2.7% y/y (vs. +2.8% consensus), with food prices moderating slightly and energy pos...
