EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (24-30 July)

Last week, the Fed and the ECB raised the key rates by 25bps, with a softer stance, suggesting a potential pause, and the odds favouring a final hike in September. In Hungary, the base rate remained unchanged, at 13.00%, but the one-day quick deposit rate fell to 15.00%. Turkey's CBT Governor revised the inflation outlook, and highlighted the need for gradualism and holistic assessment, reaffirming our expectation that the policy rate will reach 30% by the year-end. Uzbekistan's CBU kept the policy rate at 14%, despite declining inflation, and the economy saw robust growth of 5.6% yoy in 1H23. The Euro area's economic sentiment declined for the third consecutive month, to 94.5.
