Europe Economic Weekly A good start for Q3

BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research - Viernes, 25 de Julio

The weekly view: A bit of breathing space? PMIs surprises indicate that Euro area and Germany weakness should be temporary. However, we remain cautious given the disconnection between GDP and PMI and the current deflation risks.  

Euro area: Waiting for inflation to pick up 

We are one step closer to the ECB recognising that the risks of a prolonged lowflation are much higher than previously thought and acknowledging that deflationary risks are not negligible. The next six months will be crucial. 

UK: BoE still unanimously on hold 

The BoE voted unanimously to leave interest rates on hold in July, with the accompanying debate somewhat more dovish than expected. 

Peripheral watch: Strong employment numbers in Spain 

The labour force survey improved substantially in Q2, a reflection of the strong cyclical momentum of the Spanish economy. But it also showed that some structural issues remain unresolved, which could limit the sustainability of the recovery 

The week ahead

Next week, we expect Euro area inflation to ease from 0.5%yoy in June to 0.4% in July while core inflation should remain stable at 0.8%yoy.
