It has been a period of gathering strength; economies charging once again, in order for the European economies to boost back into markets, surpassing other rivals with potential improvements, trying to clarify actions taken by Central Banks were sufficient enough to push back the United Kingdom and the Euro Area into the safe zone. Based on the fundamentals currently available in markets; we understand that economies emerged from recession, brushing off the dust on their shoulders that had accumulated in the prior year.
The emerging signs came to boost the Euro against the US Dollar; reaching to the highest in a year at 1.4842 levels. It’s apparent that improvements are increasing markets participants appeal on the sixteen nation currency; the surging euro will act to bolster the economy in many aspects, first we can see that inflationary pressures will be obtained from rising prices, which would hold the CPI reading's head back into the ECB comfort zone. In addition to the rising euro that will increase the European consumer's purchasing power, since there currency has more strength against other majors. However, we can’t really deny that the surging Euro will act to curb the exports in the euro nations, which means that expansion resulted from the increasing levels of exports will be terminated once again.
Further actions are taking place, the ongoing summits joining policy makers together, are taking further decisions to continue to take place. This time, we have the G20 summit, all meeting in Pittsburgh to finalize a decision on the limitations of bonuses to the banks' executives; especially since they failed to support their institutions from teetering on the brink of total destruction. This time eyes are all on Obama’s ability to change the European leaders mind to set certain disciplines in the financial sector, punishing them for the ongoing downturns, and the ongoing mess that took place.
Nevertheless, with all the actions in markets, our main concern today remains heading towards the Bank of England minutes for the latest interest rate decision. In the previous meeting, the BoE decided to hold their benchmark at 0.50%; the lowest since the bank's establishment, along with holding onto the already started quantitative easing program of 175 billion pounds. However, in the last meeting the committee said that they would finish purchasing the long-term gilts in the upcoming two months, where until now the bank purchased 147 billion pounds of gilts to create serious instability.
Based on the available data we foresee an expansion in the current quarter, especially after the manufacturing and services sectors jumped back into an expansion, boosted by the improved international demand and the restored confidence in the royal kingdom. The kingdom is also recovering from the housing agony, where it was one of the main reasons to push Britons to face a series of contractions; marking their worst recession since the World War II. Moreover, King added in his last comments against the House of Commons, “following a precipitate fall in economic activity at the end of the last year and the start of this, there are now signs that growth has resumed in the third quarter”.
It’s almost definite that an expansion will take place in the third quarter of the current year in the United Kingdom and the Euro Area, yet today’s full calendar might signal or clarify the outlook even further
