Macroeconomics: The Day Ahead for 8 March

Written by Marc Ostwald, ADMISI’s Global Strategist & Chief Economist

  • Very modest schedule of data and events to start week; digesting Japan Services survey, German Production drop; awaiting BoE’s Bailey; Oil price jump on Saudi oil facilities attack, US fiscal package passage the points of focus

  • German Production slide all about Construction, Manufacturing dip modest after 5 strong months; still likely to reaffirm view Europe recovery lag

  • Week Ahead: focus on US and China inflation, Bank of Canada and ECB meetings as Fed goes into purdah

  • Week Ahead: WASDE, OPEC and EIA energy outlooks, Chevron investor day  and Fastmarkets Copper conference

     

EVENTS PREVIEW

The week gets off to a very subdued start in terms of scheduled data and events, with the run of Japan’s Current Account, Bank Lending and Economy Watchers survey, German Industrial Production and the Bank of France’s Industry Sentiment survey to digest. Otherwise there is no data of particular note ahead, and only BoE’s Bailey speech on the events schedule, as a further sharp rise in oil prices following the Houthi attacks on Saudi facilities ramps up energy price pressures further. The passage of the $1.9 Trln Biden fiscal package through the Senate leaves the question “now what?” and also, once re-ratified by the House, what impact will it have on the Treasury’s borrowing schedule. The much weaker than expected German Industrial Production (-2.5% m/m) will reinforce the view that the Eurozone/Europe will lag the recoveries in China, Asia and North America, though it was largely a function of a lockdown related 12.0% m/m drop in Construction Output, with Manufacturing down a modest 0.5% m/m, following five months of strong gains.
