We will commence posting two additional notes each week – a weekly macro brief and a weekly macro review. These notes are not designed to be deep-dive analytical pieces, but instead, provide a guide as to major events and round up of economic performance as related to the markets and key themes that we are following.

Our focus overall:

  • Central banks; US liquidity, US Fed normalisation and rates signalling
  • Macro context; identify whether data are confirming or challenging views on key themes including growth and inflation
  • Alignment with current market analysis

Each week we will post:

  • The Weekly Macro Brief – providing an overview of upcoming key events for the week including US Treasury issuance versus US Fed normalization, central bank speeches and key economic events. Posted at the start of the week.
  • The Weekly Macro Review – a round-up of the important events, how they relate to key themes around growth, inflation and liquidity (with links to original sources). Posted at the start of the week.

I have posted the Weekly Macro Review for last week w/c 14 May 2018 and the Weekly Macro Brief for w/c 21 May 2018 (filled out with Monday and Tuesday data). The weekly reviews going forward will have an executive summary of how the data relates to key themes and dovetails into our market analysis.
