Greetings,
The United States: This chart shows Morgan Stanley’s GDP forecast for the next couple of years (including the GDP components).
China: China’s official export figures have diverged from those reported by its trading partners
The Eurozone: Exports have been weakening at the Eurozone level as well (and diverging from the global trend).
Global Developments: How do asset prices around the world react to the US-China trade tensions? The second chart below shows BlackRock’s newsflow-based risk index of the US-China relations (BGRI).
Equities: Analysts have downgraded (slightly) the 2019 earnings growth forecast, but it remains near 9%.
Emerging Markets: Morgan Stanley is forecasting the EM-US economic growth differential to widen again (EM to outperform the US). Will EM currencies follow?
Food for Thought: “Which country would you like to live in (besides your own)?”
