    IMF has upgraded the global growth forecast to 3% in CY23 from 2.8% estimated earlier amidst a slowdown in inflation, resolution of US debt ceiling and reduced stress in the banking sector. Within advanced economies (AEs), growth projections for UK was revised up to 0.4% (+0.7pp) and US to 1.8% (+0.2pp). For India, growth forecast for FY24 was revised to 6.1% from 5.9% estimated earlier. Global inflation is expected to moderate to 6.8% in CY23 from 8.7% in CY22. Core inflation, however, is estimated to decline more gradually. Separately in US, the Conference Board consumer confidence index rose to a 2-year high at 117 in Jul’23 (est. 111.8) from 110.1 in Jun’23 amidst slowing inflation and tight labour market. In stark contrast, Ifo’s business climate index in Germany slipped to 87.3 (est. 88) from 88.6 in Jun’23. All eyes remain on the Fed. While a 25bps rate hike is expected, investors keenly await guidance on future rate path.

  • 27 July 2023

    In line with expectations, Fed raised its policy rates by 25bps to 5.25%-5.50%-a 22 year high. Fed Chair left room open for further rate hikes and reiterated that the decision will be contingent on incoming data. However, rate cuts in CY23 were ruled out. High inflation, particularly on the services side, as well as tight labour market remain key risks for the Fed. Hopes of a ‘soft landing’ remain intact, with the economy showing strength. Separately, US new home sales declined for the first time in 3-months by 2.5% to 697,000 (est. 725,000) from 715,000 in May’23. Industrial profits in China declined at a slower pace of 16.8% in Jan-Jun’23, compared with 18.8% in Jan-May’23. Industrial profits have continued to decline in double-digits amidst a sharp moderation in domestic demand.


    Global markets ended mixed. Stocks in US traded in narrow range tracking Fed’s policy decision and mixed earnings report from major companies. FTSE fell by 0.2% led by losses in mining stocks. Stocks in China and Hong Kong fell by 0.3% and 0.4% respectively. Sensex rose by 0.5% supported by gains in capital goods and real estate stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Bank of Japan in a surprise move, tweaked its yield control curve (YCC) to allow for “greater flexibility”, while keeping policy rate unchanged. It will allow 10Y yield to trade in the range of +/- 50bps from its target. It also pledged to purchase 10Y bonds at 1% everyday through fixed rate purchase operations. This comes on the heels of data which showed CPI inflation in Tokyo rose by 3.2% in Jul’23 (est. 2.8%) from 3.1% in Jun’23. Separately, ECB hiked its policy rate by 25bps to a 23-year high. However, the ECB Chief stated that further rate decisions will be data dependent. Markets have now pared back expectations of future rate hikes by ECB, as growth in the region continues to show signs of strain. On the other hand, US economy continues to power through, with Q2CY23 GDP beating market expectations to rise by 2.4% (est. 1.8%) from 2% in Q1. Jobless claims fell by 7,000 to 221,000 (est. 235,000), indicating continued strength in the labour market.


    Stocks in US ended in red, as strong macro data has raised the likelihood of more rate hikes by Fed. Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell by 0.7% and 0.6% respectively. On the other hand, Hang Seng rose by 1.4% led by technology stocks. Sensex fell by 0.7% led by losses in auto and oil and gas stocks. It is trading further lower today, while other Asian stocks are trading mixed.
