Institutional Perspective

01

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs: Eurozone core inflation expected to remain high.

August 19 -- Goldman Sachs said we expect Eurozone core inflation to remain elevated and hover above 5% annually through September. We expect core inflation to decline gradually as energy prices fall and supply chain pressures ease their impact on core goods inflation, but services inflation will remain firm due to strong wage growth. Core inflation is expected to reach 4.0% y/y by 2023. Headline inflation will fall further as energy and food inflation cools, and we expect headline inflation in the euro area to reach 3.0% in the fourth quarter, before picking up to 3.5% by December 2023 due to base effects.

02

SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale: The US core CPI is expected to have increased 0.3% month-over-month. A level of 0.4% or higher would signal chaos.

August 10 - We expect the US core CPI to rise 0.3% month-over-month in July, up from 0.2% in June, Societe Generale economists said. That's not a disaster, but it's not ideal, and it's not what a data-dependent Fed wants. That could help yields recoup ground lost earlier in the week amid heightened risk aversion. Month-on-month growth of 0.4% or more could signal chaos, including a hawkish repricing of the Fed, a sell-off in US Treasuries (and Bunds), swap payments, risk aversion in equities/credit/high beta FX, and dollar strength. A monthly rate of 0.2% or less would be a Goldilocks scenario: risk appetite in equity and currency markets, and a bullish flattening in 2-year / 10-year Treasuries.

03

MUFG

【MUFG:The BOJ is expected to normalize policy as soon as 2024】

The BOJ may shift its monetary policy toward normalization as early as January-March 2024, MUFG Executive President and head of global markets Hiroyuki Seki said in an interview, Kyodo News reported. He believes the BOJ is "not far" from achieving its 2 per cent inflation target as wages have risen amid Labour shortages and companies raising prices. In addition, he expects the 10-year yield to reach a range of 0.7 to 0.8% this fall, depending on price trends, currencies, foreign interest rates and the political situation.
