US may avoid recession whereas Europe may plunge deeper


Just before the weekend began, reports from the United States showed that there is finally some light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel as inflation began to decrease.

On Friday, figures were released showing that consumer price increases eased to 7.7% in October which, although still high compared to the levels most consumers in North America have been used to over recent years, is a definite step in the right direction after inflation headed over the double figures mark a few months ago.

In Europe, however, things are not showing any signs of change. In the United Kingdom it remains just under 10%, and in the Eurozone its 10.7%.

Whereas the majority of the Eurozone and Britain were locked down periodically for over a year and a half, some parts of the United States remained free of any such draconian rules and had managed to maintain productivity. Some of those areas were the states of Florida and Texas, which are both highly urbanized states with large industrial capacity.

This is certainly one factor, as by comparison the Eurozone and United Kingdom had their entire economies postponed for a sustained period of time and are now in fiscal dire straits with that as a major contributing factor.

This morning, analysts at Morgan Stanley reinforced this dynamic, stating that Britain and the euro zone economies are likely to tip into recession next year, whereas by contrast the United States may avoid a recession thanks to a resilient job market.

Morgan Stanley's analysis of this situation also focused on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, and the investment bank considers that the Federal Reserve is likely to keep the interest rates at a high level during 2023 as although inflation has decreased in October, 7.7% is still high enough to warrant maintaining high interest rates.

According to a report by Reuters today, Morgan Stanley predicts a sharp split between developed economies in 2023 which are "in or near recession" while emerging economies "recover modestly" but said an overall global pickup would likely remain elusive. China's economy was predicted to grow 5% in 2023, outpacing the average 3.7% growth expected for emerging markets, while the average growth in the Group of 10 developed countries was forecast at just 0.3%.

The value of the British Pound against the US Dollar has performed accordingly, as the Pound dropped in value this morning on the opening of the London trading session, after a substantial rise in value over the weekend, marking a steady move away from several weeks of plummeting Pound values.

FTSE 100 index jumps 10 points in one day!


The London Stock Exchange's index containing the 100 most prestigious companies, the FTSE 100, has made a sudden jump upwards by a remarkable 10% this morning.

By 10.00am UK time, it stood at 7,395, representing its highest point over the past 30 days.

The mainstream media is focusing on the insolvency of publicly listed clothes brand Joules, which after 33 years of trading, had its shares suspended ahead of the expected appointment of Interpath Advisory as administrators.

This has not caused the drop that the tabloids across the United Kingdom had predicted and in fact quite the opposite is the case.

Despite the British government's will to raise taxes and unemployment and inflation figures due today and tomorrow before chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s autumn statement on Thursday, the Pound is actually up against the US Dollar at 1.18, and the FTSE 100's stellar performance is defying the gloomy outlook which is being viewed by many citizens.

Inflation is still standing at around 10%, and there is speculation that interest rates could rise dramatically to around 5% in January as Britain's recession continues, the economy reeling in the wake of lockdowns, followed by Brexit-related issues, and subsequently a floundering government led for a record short period of 44 days by Liz Truss who tanked the Pound and caused tremendous levels of uncertainty alongside equally short-lived Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng whose mini-budget struck fear into the soul of hundreds of thousands of people before it was canceled following the resignation of both Ms Truss and Mr Kwarteng.

So far, the British job market has managed to hold up quite well. The 3,300 increase in new jobs was accompanied by an unemployment rate of 3.6%, which compares with 3.5% the previous month. This has been a positive figure.

Ultimately, it is still clear that volatility in the usually utterly stable stock markets and prestigious indices is the order of the day.

Inflation in the UK hits high at 11..1% as US inflation goes down


The floundering British economy has once again been subject to a set of metrics that have marked out the severity of the current situation, this time it is yet again the announcement of an increase in inflation.

Inflation in the United Kingdom reached 11.1% in October 2022, which is higher than had originally been predicted, marking out the very bleak nature of the British economic situation especially considering that yesterday, the United States government issued official figures showing that its level of inflation had reduced significantly to 7.7%.

As can perhaps be expected, low-income households suffered the biggest jump in the cost of living, while high income households were less hit during that period, because low-income households spend more of their money on energy and food where costs have soared.

Surprisingly, however, despite the very high inflation figures in the United Kingdom, the British Pound actually rose against the US Dollar to 1.19 last night and has thus far sustained that level of value, but it fell against the Euro during the early hours of the trading day this morning.

It is looking likely that the Bank of England will not pause its program of increasing interest rates given the 11.1% inflation figure for October, giving more weight to the speculation that interest rates may rise to as much as 5% by January 2023, which would put pressure on people paying mortgages and other loans.

The housing market outside London has already slowed down tremendously compared to just two months ago after 10 banks across the United Kingdom withdrew mortgage products from the market.

Many analysts are looking back to the dark days of the early 1980s when the British economy was struggling after James Callaghan's 1979 'Winter of Discontent' in which there was no public money to pay for essential services and piles of household refuse were meters high in the streets, and companies implemented a 3-day working week due to inability to afford to pay wages.

Today, the set of circumstances that has led to this level of inflation are completely different to those of the late 1970s, hence the uncertainty of what lies ahead and volatility in the currency markets.
