Chile Nominal Wages, Mexico Consumer Confidence & US ADP

LATAM
  • Chile nominal wages and Mexico consumer confidence will cross at the top of the hour. Ecuador CPI will also cross, however, the focus remains on Thursday’s inflation data for Chile, Mexico and Colombia. US ADP Employment Change data set for later today will also be eyed for clues ahead of Friday's payrolls release. Consensus currently looks for the US to have added 187k in the month of November - a figure that could be re-assessed if data comes out of line with today's ADP.
  • EU: Monetary policy transmission across the eurozone is strong and bank lending shows further tightening, but it is too soon to consider rate cuts, Bank of Latvia head and ECB Governing Council member Martins Kazaks told an MNI event on Wednesday.
  • JAPAN: The Bank of Japan must carefully consider the timing of any exit to easy policy and monitor the evolution of wages and prices, said BOJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino on Wednesday. Interestingly, Japan’s regional banks called on the Bank of Japan to scrap its negative interest rate when executives met with central bank officials last month, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • CHINA/EU: Beijing will likely offer to move some electric-vehicle production to the European Union as part of a long-term deal to avert a trade war, a key issue ahead of this week's China-EU summit, a Chinese policy advisor and international affairs experts have told MNI.
  • METALS: Iron ore prices have likely peaked and will require a substantial rebound in steel demand – such as from a turnaround in the construction sector – to rise further, while more government intervention via “window guidance” could also weigh on the market, policy advisors and market analysts told MNI.
