The Indian rupee experienced its worst monthly performance since March, closing November at 84.4825 against the dollar, just shy of its lifetime low. The decline of nearly 0.5% was driven by Donald Trump's election victory, which strengthened the dollar and led to persistent foreign portfolio outflows, negatively impacting emerging market assets.
The European Central Bank has announced modifications to the Eurosystem collateral framework aimed at enhancing harmonization across the euro area. These changes seek to unify the previously separate frameworks established after the 2008 financial crisis, ensuring a consistent list of collateral for all counterparties, regardless of their location.
Euro zone inflation rose to 2.3% in November, surpassing the European Central Bank's 2% target, as reported by Eurostat. This marks an increase from 2% in October, driven by persistent services inflation, while core inflation remained steady at 2.7%. Markets anticipate a 25-basis-point interest rate cut from the ECB in December, although speculation for a larger cut has diminished amid slight improvements in growth and inflation.
Euro-area inflation rose to 2.3% in November, surpassing the European Central Bank's 2% target, but this is not expected to halt planned interest rate cuts. Despite a slight dip, service costs remain high, and non-energy industrial goods prices have increased for the second consecutive month.
The Bank of England's latest stress test reveals that the UK's major clearing houses, including ICE Clear Europe Ltd., LCH Ltd., and LME Clear Ltd., demonstrate resilience under severe market conditions. However, the results highlight vulnerabilities related to highly concentrated positions, particularly in scenarios involving the default of multiple members.
The RBI is closely monitoring the microloan market following its crackdown on the unsecured personal loan sector in November 2023. Recent developments have led to a temporary shift in the banking system's liquidity, pushing it into a deficit mode. Investors should stay alert to these evolving trends ahead of the MPC meeting in December.
India faces a significant challenge with nearly 30 GW of unsold renewable energy, primarily due to a lack of contracts from distribution companies (discoms). The situation has been exacerbated by recent scrutiny of industry leaders, highlighting the urgent need for stricter enforcement of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) norms. In response, the Centre has mandated public sector units to bid for 50 GW of renewable projects annually until FY28, aiming to achieve a target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity by 2030.
Treasury yields dipped slightly on a holiday-shortened trading day, with the 10-year yield at 4.22% and the 2-year steady at 4.208%. The Federal Reserve's recent data indicated inflation at 2.3% and a tightening labor market, while markets anticipate a 66.3% chance of a rate cut in December amid concerns over potential tariff hikes from President-elect Trump.
Polish consumer price growth has slowed for the first time in eight months, with headline inflation dropping to 4.6% in November from 5% in October. This decline suggests that interest rate cuts may be on the horizon, potentially occurring in early 2025.
The election of Donald Trump has introduced significant macroeconomic uncertainty, signaling a potential shift away from the neoliberal consensus on globalization and financial markets. Macro strategist Viktor Shvets, in his book "The Twilight Before the Storm," suggests we are entering a turbulent period that could last two decades, with a major reevaluation of global trade and economic policies underway. The implications of these changes will take years to fully materialize.
