Market Summary by AFORTI: Stabilisation of inflation in Germany, mixed data from China and the US, strengthening of the zloty

15 July 2024

Macroeconomic Situation

The second week of July brought a number of important macroeconomic events that affected global equity and financial markets. Data on inflation, interest rates and economic indicators from the world's largest economies were key for investors.


Europe

- German inflation: The CPI report from Germany came in line with expectations, meaning no surprises in terms of price pressures in Europe's largest economy. This signals price stability in the region.

- France: The French election results did not bring euphoria to the markets, indicating a moderate investor reaction to the political results.


USA

- USA: Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, spoke before Congress, stressing that the Fed needs more data to decide whether to cut interest rates. This suggests a cautious approach to monetary policy in the US.

- US inflation: US inflation data came in below expectations, which could suggest a softer monetary policy going forward. However, the higher PPI reading triggered a rise in the dollar, indicating mixed signals for the market.

- Analysis of the CPI report: Discussions about a possible interest rate cut in September are gaining momentum against the backdrop of the latest inflation data.

- Assassination of Donald Trump: News of the assassination of Donald Trump has caused some turbulence in the markets, prompting investors to seek safe havens. This event is likely to push up the price of gold and other assets considered safe.


China's economy

- Deflation risks in China: Disappointing inflation data from China maintains concerns about the risk of deflation in the world's second largest economy. This could affect global markets, particularly in the context of international trade.


Currency Market

The zloty strengthened between 08 and 12 July. The EUR/PLN exchange rate oscillated in a range of 4.27-4.25 and the USD/PLN exchange rate in a range of 3.94-3.90. The strengthening of the zloty was due to market expectations and the lack of major international market turbulence.
