UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Politics, sadly, is in focus' Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

This week has a lot of politics in it, and markets are rarely that good at pricing political risk. The US presidential debate may make investors pay attention to political risk earlier than is normal in the US political cycle. Because so much attention has focused on the suitability of the candidates for office (rather than their policy positions), this debate might actually matter.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Following inflation lower' Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

Yesterday’s central bank decisions support the trend of following inflation lower. The Swiss rate cut reflected a desire to stabilize real rates, not stimulate the economy. Bank of England Governor Bailey linked future rate cuts to lower inflation; an August rate cut looks increasingly likely. Only the Federal Reserve seems to have forgotten that rising real rates are repressive.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Rate cuts are coming?' Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

The Bank of England offers some excitement as investors await the start of the UK interest rate easing cycle. That start is probably not today, but should be soon. The BoE relishes dissent and discussion to help form higher quality decisions (the Federal Reserve might like to take note), making policy outcomes less predictable. With consumer price inflation down nine percentage points from the recent highs, the case for lowering real interest rates is strong—but the BoE might want a couple more data points before acting.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'The EU’s naughty list' Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

May UK inflation data was as expected across the multiple measures released today. Headline consumer price inflation was 2%. The decline in inflation has almost nothing to do with government policy, and not that much to do with the Bank of England—a lot of this is the natural slowing of temporary inflation drivers. Durable goods prices sank further into deflation.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Eight points down' Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Eurozone final May consumer price inflation is very unlikely to change from the initial report. At 2.6% y/y, the rate is above the ECB’s target, but rate cuts are still justified. Inflation has fallen eight percentage points from its high. The impact of that on real interest rates is significant.
