The Week Ahead

The usual G7 chatter by Informa Global Markets

Next week provides some relaxation on the busy data/events schedule. Attention at the end of the week swings to Friday's G7 meeting (followed by the semiannual World Bank/IMF conclave at the weekend). The former is more a focus for FX markets. The February G7 linked of statements about the Japanese recovery being on track and that exchange rates should reflect fundamentals was an implicit side swipe at the Yen. At the same time, the statement repeated the desirability of greater flexibility in emerging markets – namely China - and also carried warnings that carry trades are not one-way bets. However, given the continued expression about the undesirability of disorderly and volatile FX moves, plus FX developments since the last G7, any statement this time is unlikely to be any more concrete than that in February. Nonetheless, pre-G7 chatter could run around markets and generate some potential funding currency short covering.
