Market Movers ahead

  • The next scheduled date for the trade disputes is 30 June, where the US government is set to announce plans for restricting Chinese investments.

  • The European Council meeting on 28-29 June will be important for whether the German government crisis is resolved, what line the new Italian government takes and possibly for the Brexit process.

  • We expect the June inflation number for the euro area to be 2%, up from 1.9%, but it is likely to decline again later this year.

  • The most important US inflation measure is likely to have increased in May.

  • Swedish data is likely to show another trade deficit in May.

 

Global macro and market themes

  • A further escalation in trade tensions has become our baseline scenario ahead of 6 July.

  • The escalation will weigh on global economic growth.

  • Equity volatility will be high, with downside risks for equities near term.

  • Industrial and agricultural commodities are primarily at risk.

  • The prospects of a stronger USD, lower commodity prices and weaker global growth weigh on emerging markets.
