MNI GLOBAL MORNING BRIEFING: November 9

US factory gate inflation and German financial experts outlook for the economy will be the stand out features Tuesday.

German ZEW survey seen slowing (1000GMT)

The ZEW Expectations index is set to slip again in November, likely falling to the lowest level since the start of the global pandemic, as rising infections rates and continued supply chain issues weigh on the outlook. The index fell 4.3 to an 18-month low of 22.3 in October and analysts are looking to a decline to 20.0 this month. To underline how expectations have declined in recent month, the expectation index hit a 21-year high of 84.4 as recently as May.

Current conditions are also expected to decline to 18,0, extending September's decline that saw the index fall 10.3 points to 21.6.

US PPI Inflation to continue rising (1330GMT)

US PPI inflation expectations are again geared towards increases, which will come as no surprise to markets or Fed officials, already tapering additional stimulus, now looking at inflation being 'less transitory' than previously assumed.

The monthly rate of US headline final demand PPI is expected to rise 0.6% in October, accelerating modestly from the 0.5% rise seen in Septembein September. Similarly, the core monthly rate is forecasted to increase, to 0.5% in October from 0.2% in September. The core PPI excluding Trade is expected to follow suit, coming in at 0.3% in October, up from 0.1% in September.

Analysts expect both the annual rate of PPI for final demand and core PPI are expected to remain stable at 8.6% and 6.8% respectively, although there is a chance of upside surprises given the consistently high readings in price components of recent business surveys.
