Today, we see the current account in the euro zone improving, further supporting the fact that the worst of this global recession is over, as global trade is recovering next to higher demand levels, while government interventions and central bank actions are stimulating economic conditions.
Current account seasonally adjusted for the month of July was released; revealing that the trade deficit had turned into a surplus of 6.6 billion euros from the revised prior deficit of 4.3 from 5.3 billion euros; while non-seasonally adjusted had also showed that the surplus widened significantly to 8.8 billion euros from the revised previous surplus of 0.8 from the deficit of 0.3 billion euros.
The current account today enhanced, as a result of the trade balance being released yesterday for the month of July as well; showing that the surplus had widened, which is giving more indications that demand is recovering around the globe, where there are higher exports and imports next to higher confidence levels, while services also improves; therefore helping current account expand heavily today.
The improvement in the current account is also a result of the ECB buying 60 billion euro dominated bonds, as a way to provide tranquility in the dried financial markets, which would help ease lending. The bank also had taken interest rates down to 1%, as a way to encourage more borrowing; therefore helping consumers and businesses gain more access of loans, encouraging higher spending and investments in the euro zone.
Trading among nations is not only recovering because of the euro zone using unorthodox measures, but the governments around the world have provided almost $2 trillion to restore economic growth around the world, while easing the effects of recession on many nations that are currently facing their worst economical phases since the post world war era.
Since governments and central banks exhausted measures; positively impacting their nations, since we have been witnessing the pace of the economic recession easing down, especially since dominate sectors; like fuel economic growth, have been rebounding from their misery, as slow confidence levels are rising.
Thus, rising confidence levels means higher demand levels; therefore meaning more spending, which helps stimulate economic conditions and provides the nation with some stability to clear the way for an economic recovery, since companies have started boosting their production output, to deal with the new economic factors of increased consumer demand.
Although economic deterioration is slowing, a major factor weighing on the global recovery is the high unemployment rates around the world, and this is one of the key obstacles delaying a full economic recovery to take place.
As mentioned earlier, governments are doing all they can to help their nations accurately prosper, where we see in the UK today; public finances released, showing that the fiscal conditions have worsened, as the budget deficit expanded once again, where the government continues to borrow to restore liquidity in markets.
The public finances for the month of August revealed that the deficit widened to 10.4 billion pounds from the revised prior deficit of 1.7 from 0.2 billion pounds; while markets were expecting a 14.5 billion pound deficit.
In addition, looking at public sector net borrowing for August; we see that the budget deficit had also increased to 16.1 billion pounds from the prior deficit of 8.0 billion, yet the reading is better than market expectations of 17.6 billion pounds. The more borrowing governments are doing means that there are lower tax receipts, as a result of curtailed consumption, while spending exceeds income.
Since we know that more borrowing done by the government is a positive indicator for the UK in the short term. However, it has a major negative impact on the long term, because this means that when the economy does reach a full recovery, they will be dealing with a widened budget deficit; meaning more money to pay back.
Turning to European stocks, we see that they fell on anticipations that the six month rise we have been noticing lately was overpriced, despite expectations for higher company earnings, as of 09:03 GMT; the DJ Euro Stoxx 50 fell 5.64 points or 0.19% to 2889.81; CAC 40 slipped 10.51 points or 0.27% to 3824.91 points; while the DAX shed 9.98 points or 0.25% to 5721.00 points.
