A rule of thumb for the US labour market

The monthly US labour market report (The Employment Situation) is one of the most closely-watched statistical releases and markets can experience dramatic shifts dependent on the data that are published. However, there is a vast amount of information contained in the report so it can be difficult to know which data to focus on. Furthermore, the numbers can be volatile from month-to-month. It is therefore useful to think about the longer-term characteristics and to view each release in that context.

The effective exchange rate of the renminbi Investment Insights • Infocus

The effective exchange rate of the renminbi

EFG Chief Economist Stefan Gerlach looks at the drivers of the trade-weighted nominal exchange rate of the renminbi. He argues that it evolves over time in response to the difference between inflation in China relative to its trading partners and real economic activity in China. With real GDP, at best, forecast to grow in line with its trend – albeit with considerable downside risk – and with inflation likely to remain below that of its main trading partners, the outlook is for continued renminbi weakness.
