Free AccessUS Cr Mkt Wk Ahead: Fed-Speak Return/Heavy Data Latter Half Wk
Repeats Story Initially Transmitted at 22:40 GMT Mar 24/18:40 EST Mar 24
CHICAGO (MNI) - Returning from their media blackout last Friday, eight
speakers from the Federal Reserve will discuss their economic outlook and pivot
in monetary policy views to a more dovish tone in the week ahead.
Barclays economists said the "FOMC's assessment of economic conditions
darkened somewhat relative to the January meeting, with the statement noting
that economic growth had 'slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter' and
that 'recent indicators point to slower growth of household spending and
business spending".
Headline sensitivity remains with markets keen on anything to do with
US/China trade negotiations, and of course Brexit. Data releases, meanwhile,
pick up gradually through the week.
U.S. Treasury auctions include 13-, 26W bills on Monday, 52W bills and $40B
2Y notes on Tuesday, $41B 5Y notes on Wednesday and $32B 7Y notes auctioned
Thursday.
Salient data highlights (estimates):
- Monday: Dallas Fed manufacturing index; Chi Fed Pres Evans speaking from
Hong Kong and Phi Fed Pres Harker from London.
- Tuesday: Housing starts and building permits for February; FHFA and
Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes; Redbook retail sales; Conference Board
confidence.
Barclays economists "forecast housing starts to decline 3.0% m/m, bringing
the level to 1193k annualized in February, and to pay back some of the sharp
18.6% spike during the previous month."
- Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications for March; January trade balance; Q4
current account balance.
Nomura economists said "After posting a wider-than-expected trade deficit
of $59.8bn in December, we think that the deficit will narrow considerably to
$55.0bn in January as exports rebound while imports soften from December
levels."
- Thursday: Weekly claims; Revised Q4 GDP; Feb NAR pending home sales
index.
RBS NatWest economists estimate that "GDP will be revised down from 2.6% to
2.3% between the BEA's initial and revised reports."
- Friday: February personal income; Mar MNI Chicago PMI; Feb new home
sales; Mar Michigan sentiment index.
Morgan Stanley economists say "nominal personal spending is set to rebound
0.4% in January, not quite fully reversing its 0.5% decline in December.
Incorporating this month's CPI and PPI units, our forecast for January core PCE
inflation is 0.15%M, which would hold the year-over-year rate at 1.9%. Headline
inflation should rise 0.02%, lowering the year-over-year rate to 1.4% from
1.7%."
