Key macroeconomic releases
Germany
- Yesterday's data on durable goods orders in Germany surprised on the upside (growth of 6.2%). Today's industrial production reading for May was also better than expected (up by an impressive 0.9% month-on-month).
- The country is still awaiting the effects of the massive fiscal stimulus announced in March last year by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. 500 billion euros were allocated then for investments in infrastructure, healthcare, the energy sector, and digital modernization.
Eurozone
- May PPI inflation in the Eurozone is also up (to 5.9%). However, the reading is largely in line with expectations.
- Retail sales data also provided no surprises (1.6% year-on-year).
United States
- In the United States, there was a modest downward revision of PMI indicators for June. The composite index ended up at 51.9, which suggests a slowdown in economic growth relative to the very impressive 2.7% in Q1.
Hungary
- Both inflation measures were at low levels in June. The headline fell below the lower bound of the target deviation (1.7%). It seems likely that the MNB will continue to ease monetary policy. The last meeting resulted in a decrease in the benchmark interest rate to 6%.
