IMF downgrades its rating for the UK

This image is no longer relevant

The International Monetary Fund said the UK will experience the slowest growth next year because of double-digit inflation and rising interest rates. Their latest outlook indicated that the global economy is currently fragile, so sliding into recession is possible. In fact, the FTSE 100 index already shows downside potential.

Accordingly, the IMF downgraded their rating for the UK in both 2022 and 2023, reflecting an increase in the forecast for peak inflation from 7.8% to 10.5%.

With regards to the battle over the seat of prime minister, Liz Truss accused her rival, Rishi Sunak, of pushing the economy into recession through tax increases. Sunak, meanwhile, accused Truss of planning to spur inflation, even though it is already at a 40-year high of 9.4%.

Sky-high inflation has eaten household incomes, causing poverty and the worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. The IMF said wage increases due to low inflation "undermine household purchasing power" and causes a slowdown in growth.

Bloomberg Economics estimates that the Truss tax cut will add 0.6% to 2023 GDP, pushing the UK's growth rate higher than that of France, Germany, Italy and the US. It would also add 0.4% to inflation, which will cause interest rates to rise by another 0.5%. Markets expect UK rates to hit 3%.

The biggest risks to global growth are inflation and rates, as well as the escalation of the war in Ukraine, which will drive up energy and food prices. A tight labor market will allow workers to earn higher payouts, while higher interest rates could lead countries to shrink.

The IMF has previously said that the UK faces a serious problem on inflation, linked both to high energy prices experienced by Europe and a shortage of jobs.

美元未能展現韌性

美元是否被高估了?美國銀行這麼認為。該銀行指出,在之前的周期中,例如1980年代中期和2000年代初當美元指數達到高峰時,美元隨後出現了大幅下跌的趨勢,下跌幅度達到25-30%。

歐洲央行準備進一步降息

歐洲央行的官員們正準備進一步減息,預計即使特朗普政府放軟立場,美國的關稅政策仍會對經濟造成嚴重且持久的損害。 在上週於國際貨幣基金組織舉行的一系列緊張會議後,大多數歐洲政策制定者都對華盛頓的會議結果感到失望。

即將到來的一週將充滿重要的經濟數據發布,可能對市場動態產生顯著影響——但它們真的能做到嗎? 在唐納·川普引發的地緣政治混亂中,對美國和全球經濟未來發展的不確定性愈加明顯,投資者可能會在本週嘗試利用美國、歐元區和中國發布的關鍵數據,以更好地理解近期的預期。 那麼,本週我們應該關注什麼呢?首要的焦點將是美國的就業和通脹數據發布,中美的製造業指標,以及歐元區的消費者通脹數據。
