GLOBAL ECONOMIES

New Zealand consumer prices fell by the most in four years last quarter as much of the economy closed to fight the coronavirus, while a collapse in global oil prices dragged petrol costs down sharply. The consumer price index (CPI) fell 0.5% from the first quarter, when it had climbed 0.8%.

Australia’s jobless rate edged up even though employment surged by a record in June, as more people searched for work encouraged by the re-opening of the economy from the coronavirus lockdown. Employment rose by a blockbuster 210,800 in June following hefty declines in April and May, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data showed on Thursday. Yet, the jobless rate still hit a 22-year high of 7.4% because the surge in jobs growth was not enough to offset the increase in the number of people who went looking for work.

The Australian government is injecting a further A$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion) into a wage subsidy programme to counter rising unemployment as the country posted the biggest rise in coronavirus cases since early April.

China's economy grew 3.2% in the second-quarter from a year earlier, data showed on Thursday, recovering from a record contraction as lockdown measures ended and policymakers stepped up stimulus to combat the shock from the coronavirus crisis.

China's industrial output rose 4.8% in June from a year earlier, data showed Thursday, expanding for the third straight month and offering some relief to an economy trying to regain its footing from the shock of the coronavirus outbreak earlier in the year. Retail sales fell 1.8% on-year, much worse than a predicted 0.3% growth, after a 2.8% drop in May. Fixed asset investment fell 3.1% in the first half of the year from the same period last year, compared with a forecast 3.3% fall and a 6.3% decline in the first five months of the year.

China said on Thursday it will stick to the Phase 1 trade deal it reached with the United States earlier this year but warned that it will respond to "bullying" tactics from Washington, as relations continue to deteriorate.

Fewer British workers lost their jobs in June and there were other signs that the hit to the labour market had eased off since the onset of the coronavirus crisis, but economists said unemployment remained on course to jump. The number of employees on company payrolls slumped by 649,000 between March and June, despite the government's huge job retention plan that has protected more than 9 million jobs. The unemployment rate unexpectedly held at 3.9% in the three months to May.

In May sales slumped 56.8% on the year.

The European Central Bank left policy unchanged on Thursday, pausing after taking a series of unprecedented measures over the past four months to salvage an economy that is fighting its biggest recession in living memory due to the coronavirus.

The European Central Bank will use its stimulus firepower fully even as the euro zone economy shows some signs of rebounding from its pandemic-induced recession, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Thursday. Lagarde said economic activity in the 19-country euro zone had shown signs of a “significant, though uneven and partial recovery” but the outlook remained uncertain amid risks of a second wave of infections.

U.S. retail sales increased more than expected in June, but the budding economic recovery is being threatened by a resurgence in new COVID-19 infections and high unemployment. The Commerce Department said on Thursday retail sales rose 7.5% last month. A separate report from the Labor Department on Thursday showed 1.30 million people filed for state unemployment benefits during the week ending July 11, slightly down from 1.31 million in the prior period.

U.S. business inventories fell by the most on record in May amid the COVID-19 crisis, supporting expectations for the sharpest drop in gross domestic product in the second quarter since the Great Depression. The Commerce Department said on Thursday business inventories declined 2.3% in May, the biggest decline since the government started tracking the series in 1992, after falling 1.4% in April.

The Trump administration is considering banning travel to the United States by all members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday, a move that would worsen already tense U.S.-China relations.

GLOBAL MARKETS

Government debt yields and global equity markets fell on Thursday as a growing number of U.S. coronavirus cases weighed on risk sentiment, which was also hurt by deteriorating U.S.-China relations and discouraging Chinese data.

A jump in the number of U.S. COVID-19 cases has forced states such as California to reduce business activity again, sparking fears of further economic damage and taking the shine off a Wall Street rally built on recovery hopes. The pandemic continues to surge in many Southern and Western states, with 67,404 new U.S. cases reported as of Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of new cases in European and Asian developed countries is in the hundreds, with the exception of Russia and the UK, according to daily situation reports by the World Health Organization.

Relations between the world’s two largest economies have sunk to a decades low, with new points of contention surfacing almost daily. China accused the United States of “gangster logic” after President Donald Trump ordered an end to Hong Kong’s special status under U.S. law in response to China’s imposition of new security legislation on the former British colony.

Italian government bond yields fell to their lowest since late March at 1.245% after the European Central Bank reassured markets it will most likely use the full firepower of emergency bond purchases to tackle the hit from the coronavirus.

FOREX

The safe-haven U.S. dollar rose modestly on Thursday afternoon as worries about rising numbers of coronavirus infections spurred a broader risk-off move, pushing U.S. equities lower. Another jump in coronavirus infections has forced California and other states to shut down again, raising fears the U.S. economy and labor market will continue to suffer. Retail sales in June increased for the second consecutive month, according to a report from the Commerce Department. But the resurgence in new COVID-19 cases is chipping at the budding recovery, keeping 32 million Americans on unemployment benefits, according to a separate report from the Labor Department on Thursday. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of six rivals, was last up 0.35% at 96.350. The three major U.S. stock indexes were all in the red on the day, with the S&P 500 index last down 0.42%. The euro was slightly softer in afternoon trade, last trading down 0.28% at $1.138 ahead of an EU summit beginning Friday, at which European countries are expected to vote on a 750 billion euro ($856 billion) recovery fund to revive growth in the bloc. Even if the financing package the EU agrees on is smaller than what is currently on the negotiating table, analysts said the dollar may nevertheless continue to weaken against the euro.

GOLD

Gold fell below the key $1,800 level on Thursday as the dollar strengthened and the European Central Bank kept its monetary policy on hold, prompting some investors to lock in profits. Spot gold fell 0.8% to $1,796 per ounce by 2:24 pm EDT (1824 GMT). U.S. gold futures settled down 0.7% to $1,800.30. ECB President Christine Lagarde said the central bank will use its stimulus firepower fully even as the euro zone economy shows some signs of rebounding from its pandemic-induced recession. Also weighing on prices, the dollar edged 0.3% higher, making bullion expensive for holders of other currencies. Spot gold price hit $1,817.71 an ounce, its highest since September 2011, last week and has risen 18% so far this year. Bullion, widely considered a hedge against inflation and currency debasement, has gained on the back of massive stimulus measures and low interest rates, although market participants are still divided on the outlook for inflation. The recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the United States has forced states such as California to shut down again, sparking fears of more business damage. In other metals, palladium rose 0.4% to $1,988.92 an ounce, while platinum lost 1.2% at $822.42, and silver slipped 1.2% to $19.15

OIL

Oil prices fell 1% on Thursday after OPEC+ agreed to ease record supply curbs and as new infections of the novel coronavirus continue to surge in the United States. Both benchmark Brent and U.S. crude have remained above $40 a barrel for the last several weeks. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, lowered daily supply beginning in May and demand worldwide has rebounding, helping prices to stabilize. Fears of a second wave of cases of COVID-19 - led by the United States - are keeping the rally in check.

Nearly 600,000 people worldwide have died of the disease, according to a Reuters tally. Brent fell 42 cents, or 1%, to settle at $43.37 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 45 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $40.75 a barrel. Both benchmarks rose 2% on Wednesday following a sharp drawdown in U.S. crude inventories. International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said on Wednesday that global oil markets are rebalancing, with prices of about $40 per barrel expected in coming months. OPEC+ agreed on Wednesday to scale back oil production cuts from August, reducing cuts by 2 million barrels per day to 7.7 million bpd through December. Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said production cuts in August and September would end up amounting to about 8.1 million-8.3 million bpd, more than the headline number. In a sign of recovery, China’s refinery daily crude oil throughput in June climbed 9% from a year earlier, reaching its highest level on record due to rising consumption.
