Emerging Markets
This week in EM (2-8 Dec)
-
A slew of PMIs and CPIs typically dominate this first week of the month for both EM and DM. In Europe, manufacturing and services PMIs on Monday and Wednesday, respectively, will be digested before BOE and ECB policy meetings on Thursday. DM central bankers will speak on Monday (BOJ’s Kuroda, Fed’s Bernanke), Thursday (Fed’s Fisher), Friday (Fed’s Evans) and Saturday (BOJ’s Kuroda). High profile visits take place in Asia with GB PM Cameron in China, IMF’s Lagarde in Korea and US VP Biden on a week-long trip to Japan, Korea and China amid increased military tensions in the East China Sea.
-
In Asia, CPI will be reported Monday in Korea, Thailand and Indonesia, which also reports its trade balance for October. In spite of a weaker Rupiah and BI rate hikes, we are unlikely to see a significant narrowing on the trade gap (prior deficit USD660m). Also on Monday, HSBC reports PMIs for Korea and India as well as the final manufacturing PMI (the Services equivalent is released Wednesday). The Chinese government releases its non-manufacturing PMI on Tuesday after having released its manufacturing PMI on Sunday (51.4, unchanged from October). Inflation data for Taiwan and Philippines – and final Q3 GDP for Korea – are reported on Thursday, which is a public holiday in Thailand (King’s Birthday), where anti-government protests show no signs of slowing. Malaysia reports October trade balance on Friday.
-
In EMEA, HSBC PMI for Russia is released on Monday. On Tuesday, Turkey reports CPI (prior 7.7% y/y), while South Africa releases its current account (prior deficit ZAR216bn) ahead of this Friday’s FX reserves print. This Wednesday, Czech reports Q3 GDP (prior -1.3% y/y), as Poland’s National Bank meets (no change expected at 2.50%) and Russia releases November CPI. On Thursday, Hungary announces final Q3 GDP, Egypt’s central bank meets (no change expected at 8.75%) while November CPI is released for Ukraine, which is undergoing y-o-y deflation (October: -0.1% y/y).
-
In LatAm, Mexico and Brazil release November PMI (both previously at 50.2) on Monday. The next day, Brazil announces Q3 GDP (survey: 2.5% y/y), while inflation is reported for Colombia on Thursday and Brazil and Chile on Friday (prior 5.84% and 1.5% y/y, respectively). Mexico’s Banxico meets on Friday and is expected to stand pat at 3.50% policy rate.
