Nuestro director de Economía española explica el potencial de los datos en tiempo real y cómo los estamos utilizando en CaixaBank Research para monitorizar la economía. El vídeo forma parte de la colección «Formación sobre ruedas», una iniciativa de Accionistas CaixaBank para fomentar la cultura financiera.

Nuestro director de Economía española explica a los accionistas de CaixaBank el nuevo contexto económico en el que los datos en tiempo real cogen protagonismo y ayudan a anticipar las dinámicas macroeconómicas.

Las perspectivas del yen frente al euro para los próximos trimestres son de estabilidad general, aunque con un sesgo ligeramente favorable a la divisa japonesa. Las expectativas económicas para 2025 son algo mejores en Japón, y el Banco de Japón está endureciendo su política monetaria cuando el BCE está recortando los tipos de interés. No obstante, aunque el diferencial de tipos nominales a corto plazo sea favorable al yen, la principal fuerza directora de la divisa nipona (tanto frente al euro como frente al dólar) está siendo el diferencial de tipos reales a largo plazo. Este se debería mantener estable en un entorno al que, a las dinámicas monetarias, habría que añadir la diferente normalización de la inflación de ambas geografías (acelerándose en Japón y desacelerándose en Europa).

Investors started the week with no clear direction, as traders digested mixed signals from the GDP data in China and corporate results in the US. Financial markets were closed across Europe, Australia and Hong Kong.

In yesterday's session, investors maintained their appetite for riskier assets, after a drop in the number of job vacancies in the US fueled expectations of a monetary policy pivot from the Fed. In this direction, the central bank of Australia decided to hike rates by 25bp, slowing down the pace of its tightening.

Investors started the week trading with a cautious approach. On the positive side, sentiment continued to be supported by expectations that the Chinese government could relax some of its COVID zero policy. On the opposite direction, data showed further weakness in China’s economic recovery.

The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at 5.25-5.50%, as expected, and hinted that if inflation readings continue in the right direction, a September rate cut "could be on the table." Markets reaffirmed their expectation of three 25bp interest rate cuts for the remainder of 2024. Treasury yields fell by +10bp, and US equities rallied.

Investors ended August digesting inflation data which confirmed prices are moving in the right direction for the ECB and the Fed to cut interest rates in their September meetings. Specifically, euro are inflation cooled to 2.2% y/y last month, and the US PCE Price Index (the Fed's preferred inflation gauge) for July was unchanged at 2.5% y/y.

Financial markets struggled to find a clear direction amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Oil prices had a volatile session, with the Brent reference touching $76/barrel in intraday trading, to close at around $74/barrel. Equity markets closed with slight losses in the euro area and flat in the US, while the volatility index remained elevated.

Investors traded without a clear direction during Friday’s session. Inflation expectations in the euro area fell to 2.4% and 2.1% for the 1-year and 3-year outlooks, respectively, and sentiment improved in both Germany and the US.

With no relevant macro data releases, investors struggled to find a direction for their trades on Thursday. Eurozone government bond yields fell, with peripheral spreads widening, as the consumer confidence index came in below expectations and several ECB officials warned of a significant hit to growth from Trump's tariffs.
