Macro Economic News 12 Dec 2019
Europe sought to
bolster the world's faltering battle against climate change with its
"Green Deal" to slash fossil fuel dependence. British PM Boris
Johnson looks on course to win election though the race has tightened markedly
and he can no longer be sure of a majority, while UK house prices fall at
fastest rate in seven months. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest
rate steady and signalled no appetite to raise it anytime soon, while the
government budget gap was 12% bigger in the first two months of the fiscal year.
US Consumer prices rose at a 2.1% annual pace in November, from 1.8% in October.
South Korea central bank sees decreasing uncertainties whereas Japan's Oct.
machinery orders slip for fourth month, raising doubts about business spending
and Argentina to hold talks with bondholders to delay debt. London, New York
and Hong Kong share a troubled future although these three cities regularly
dominate rankings for the world’s top financial centres, but they are located
in countries that are increasingly turning nationalist, which diminishes their
international appeal. A February RBI rate cut is on a knife's edge, with just
under half of economists polled expecting easing at that meeting, and is highly
likely by the middle of next year, according to a Reuters poll while Asian
Development Bank cuts India’s growth forecast to 5.1% for FY2019 but projects
6.5% for next year. India may soon change the way it measures economic growth.
