Quickly looking at the potential market moving events this week,
US payrolls on Friday will be the clear focus. In terms of
expectations, our US colleagues are expecting a +225k print which
matches the current Bloomberg consensus, while they expect the
unemployment rate to drop one-tenth to 5.4%. Elsewhere, Thursday’s
UK Election will be closely followed while Greece will once again
be front and center.
We kick off this morning in Europe with the final April
manufacturing PMI readings for the Euro area, Germany and France.
The May Sentix investor confidence reading for the Euro area is
also due today also. Over in the US this afternoon, focus will be
on the ISM New York followed closed by factory orders data.
Moving to Tuesday, the European Commission Economic Forecasts
will be of some interest in the morning session, while data wise
it’s fairly quiet in Europe with just Euro-area PPI due. It’s
busier in the US however, with trade data, the IBD/TIPP economic
optimism survey as well as the final April composite and services
PMI’s and preliminary ISM non-manufacturing print due.
Wednesday’s early attention will be on the April services and
composite PMI readings which are scheduled for China (preliminary)
as well as the UK (preliminary), Euro-area, Germany and France (all
final). March retail sales for the Euro-area will also be of some
focus. Over in the US on Wednesday, the April ADP employment change
print will be an important prelude for Friday, while we are also
due nonfarm productivity and unit labour costs. It’s fairly quiet
data-wise on Thursday, with just French industrial and
manufacturing production and German factory orders scheduled,
however much focus will be on the UK General Election.
We’ve got more employment data due in the US on Thursday
meanwhile with Challenger job cuts and initial jobless claims
readings expected as well as consumer credit. It’s a busy end to
the week on Friday with industrial production and trade data
expected for Germany, as well trade data for the UK due.
Friday’s focus in the US will of course be on the April
payrolls. The usual employment associated readings are also due on
Friday including the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings.
Aside from the data, earnings season continues with 86 S&P 500
companies due and 108 Euro Stoxx companies. Fedspeak will of course
warrant much attention with Evans, Williams, George, Kocherlakota
and Lockhart expected to speak while the Fed’s Yellen and IMF’s
Lagarde are due to speak on Wednesday.

South Africa | [MAP 5] Kagiso Manufacturing PMI (Apr):
Consensus 47.9, previous 47.9
Chile | Minutes from MP Decision: In this meeting, the central
bank left the policy rate unchanged for the sixth consecutive time.
We expect the minutes to show that the April decision was unanimous
once again. In addition, the tone of the document should confirm
the authorities remain fairly neutral with regards to the
short-term outlook for monetary policy, consistent with the
language in the post-meeting communique.

Tuesday, May 5
Events: European Commission Economic Forecasts, Speeches by
Fed's Kocherlakota and Bank of Canada's Wilkins.
United States | [MAP 2] Trade Balance (Mar): GS -$45.0B,
consensus -$39.8B, previous -$35.4B
United States | Markit US Composite PMI (Apr F): Previous
57.4
United States | Markit US Services PMI (Apr F): Previous

United States | ISM Non-Manf. Composite (Apr): GS 55.8,
consensus 56.2, previous 56.5
Sweden | Industrial Production MoM (Mar): Consensus 0.40%
(-3.90% nsa yoy), previous -0.10%
Australia | MP Decision: We expect a 25bp cut to 2.00%, in line
with consensus. We see a solid case for a -25bp rate cut given a
likely downgrade to the RBA’s own growth forecasts later in the
week, confirmation of still benign inflationary pressures in last
week’s 1Q2015 CPI report, relatively low commodity prices, and a
still elevated AUD. That said, we acknowledge that a speech by the
RBA Governor last week seemed to imply a degree of reluctance to
continue the easing cycle given related risks over the long run –
including in the property market. As a result, there is a material
risk that the RBA defers the next step lower in rates – possibly
until there is greater visibility on fiscal policy settings
following the 12 May Budget. Either way, we have high conviction
that rates will move lower again in the coming months – even if the
exact timing of the next move is somewhat less clear.

Hungary | Minutes from MP Decision
Poland | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 1.50%, in line
with consensus, and for the NBP to repeat the message from the
previous meeting in April, when the MPC reaffirmed its March
decision to finish the easing cycle. The data released in the
meantime are unlikely to change the MPC’s outlook. If anything,
strong data on industrial production could only strengthen the
MPC’s resolve not to cut further in face of a solid recovery. Even
the strong Zloty, which continued to gain against the Euro as the
MPC repeated its plans to keep rates on hold, is unlikely to
convince the MPC to change its tone in any way.
Romania | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 2.00%, in
line with consensus. In addition to keeping the repo rate at 2.0%,
we also expect it to keep the rate corridor unchanged at +/-175bp
around the repo rate. At this meeting, the NBR Board will know the
latest macro forecasts.
Russia | CPI YoY (Apr): GS 16.5% (0.6% mom), consensus 16.70%
(0.80% mom), previous 16.90% (1.20% mom)

45.80% (10.80% mom)
Brazil | [MAP 4] Industrial Production YoY (Mar): GS (-0.6%

Thursday, May 7
Events: UK General Election, Speech by ECB's Mersch.
France | Industrial Production YoY (Mar): Consensus 1.20%
(0.00% mom), previous 0.60% (0.00% mom)
Norway | MP Decision: We expect a 25bp cut to 1.00%.
Malaysia MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 3.25%, in line
with consensus. We expect inflation to pick up following the
implementation of the Goods and Services Tax earlier this month. We
maintain our view that the economy will likely grow within the
BNM’s forecast of 4.5% to 5.5% this year and inflation between 2%
to 3%.
Czech Republic | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 0.05%,
in line with consensus. We also expect the CNB Board to leave the
parameters of monetary policy broadly unchanged. Specifically, we
expect the CNB to keep the current FX floor unchanged at EUR/CZK at
27.0 or weaker and repeat that the Bank plans to keep easy monetary
conditions for a while.
Czech Republic | [MAP 4] Industrial Output YoY (Mar): Consensus
6.30%, previous 4.50%
Hungary | [MAP 4] Industrial Production WDA YoY (Mar): Previous
5.80% (-0.30% sa mom)
Brazil | Minutes from MP Decision: At that meeting the Copom
validated the broad market consensus by hiking the Selic policy
rate by another +50bp, to 13.25%, in a unanimous decision. That was
the fourth consecutive 50bp rate hike following the initial October
29 +25bp hike. In the minutes we will be looking for explicit
language and/or hints on how the central bank sees the balance of
risks to inflation and growth. Specifically, given the recent labor
market deterioration we will be looking if the central bank
preserves the previous reference that “despite real wage increases
that have been more aligned with estimated labor productivity gains
the wage dynamics are still originating cost-push pressures on
inflation.” We will also be looking for potentially more
dovish/soft language on the outlook for real activity.
Mexico | CPI YoY (Apr): GS 3.11% (-0.21% mom), consensus 3.10%
