International News
1. German factory orders fell 11.7% in the third quarter, jokingly referred to as the "sick man of Europe"
German factory orders significantly decreased in July, indicating that the difficulties of Europe's largest economy continued into the third quarter. Compared to June, the demand decreased by 11.7%, far below expectations, which is due to bulk orders, and if there were no bulk orders, the indicator would increase by 0.3%. Due to poor demand in Asia, the German manufacturing data scheduled for Thursday may also show sustained weakness, with economists' median forecasts expected to shrink for the third consecutive month. Previously, when asked about the nickname 'European Sick Man', the Bundesbank President Joachim Negl admitted that the current situation in Germany is not good.
2. The Philippine Central Bank says it is prepared to resume tightening monetary policy if necessary
The Philippine Central Bank says it is prepared to resume tightening monetary policy if necessary to maintain stable inflation expectations. Previously released data showed that inflation in the Philippines accelerated in August, suspending the previous six-month slowdown. The Philippine Central Bank will continue to remain vigilant, monitor new risks to the inflation outlook, and be prepared to resume tightening monetary policy to prevent second-order effect and maintain stable inflation expectations, "the Philippine Central Bank said in a report late Tuesday. The latest inflation data still aligns with the Central Bank's assessment that "the inflation rate is likely to approach the target range by the fourth quarter of 2023 in the absence of further supply shocks".
3. Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index rebounded slightly from its low point in August, and global economic weakness was repaired
The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced today (6th) the Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index for August. The changes in the index indicate that the global manufacturing purchasing managers index rebounded in August compared to the previous month, but it is still at a lower level, and the global economy is showing a weak recovery trend. The global manufacturing purchasing managers index in August was 48.3%, an increase of 0.4 percentage points compared to the previous month. Although it has been rising for two consecutive months, the index is still at a relatively low level of around 48%. The global economy is showing a weak recovery trend, and the overall tightening environment has not changed. The pressure of demand contraction still exists.
4. Institutional analysis: OPEC+ production reduction may ease core inflation
Joseph Sykora, an analyst at Aptus Capital Consulting, said that although Saudi Arabia and Russia announced extended production cuts on Tuesday, leading to an immediate increase in oil and fuel prices, this may actually limit consumers' ability to purchase products other than fuel and other essential items, thereby suppressing core inflation. Obviously, the rise in energy prices has brought upward pressure on CPI. However, to some extent, the rise in energy costs poses a headwind to a broader economic growth, and they may cause some minor downward pressure on core CPI, "Sykora said in an email. For energy bulls, OPEC cooperation to reduce supply is certainly a good thing, but it would be even better if price pressure comes from the surge in terminal demand.
