Eurozone composite PMI at lowest in one-and-a-half years |
Eurozone Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) produced by IHS Markit slowed to the lowest level over the past year and a half in May 2018. According to experts, the trend observed in new orders signals unfavorable economic prospects.
Last month, the index that tracks business trends across both manufacturing and service sectors in 19 eurozone countries dropped to 54.1 from 55.1 in April 2018. This was the lowest reading since November 2016.
The figure below 50 reflects a decline in activity, while the reading above means growth. The indicator points to an increase in business activity for 59 months in a row. The slowdown in business activity growth has been recorded in both manufacturing and services sectors.
In Spain, the index increased to its highest in three months, while in France and Germany it slowed to the lowest level in 16 and 20 months, respectively. Last month, the euro area witnessed the lowest level of new orders. At the same time, production capacity has been weighed down significantly, experts say.
Euro area business sentiment also deteriorated in May 2018. The optimism indicator fell to the lowest level in a year and a half. At the same time, the growth of input prices accelerated for the first time in four months. A similar trend was observed in Germany, France and Spain.
According to Eurostat, the GDP in 19 eurozone countries grew by 0.4% in the first quarter of this year. GDP growth in January-March 2017 was 2.5%. However, IHS Markit’s outlook for the eurozone worsened sharply compared to the optimistic forecast made earlier this year.

Reserve Bank of Australia holds interest rates at 1.5% |
Australia’s central bank opted to hold interest rates, in line with economists’ predictions. The reserve Bank of Australia held its cash rate target at 1.5%.
Australia’s jobless rate rose to 5.6% in April 2018. The situation was largely affected by events such as a drop in emerging markets, the introduction of new US duties and political instability in Europe, particularly in Italy.
The central bank of Australia has kept the rate at 1.5% for the past two years. The regulator does not intend to tighten its monetary policy, experts say. It expects the unemployment rate to fall to 5% and the inflation rate to approach 2-3%.
Markets put small chances of raising rates in mid-2019. The Reserve Bank of Australia does not plan a rate hike amid a record high level of household debt. According to experts, any increase in rates can significantly affect the level of consumption in the country. It is noted that household income is growing at a slow pace amid high debt levels.
According to preliminary data, the Australian economy grew by 2.8% in the first quarter of this year, helped by gas exports and investment inflows into the mining industry. Business conditions in the country are quite favorable, while there is an increase in investments in various sectors of the economy. Experts anticipate an increase in exports in the near future.

De-dollarization: Africa needs more yuans |
Africa decided to join the battle against the greenback’s supremacy. With such a mighty ally, the US dollar has little chances to maintain the status of the world currency. Governments of several African states announced plans to increase the volume of yuan transactions. At the latest African forum, deputy governors of central banks of the Eastern and South African countries, including Angola, Botswana, Burundi, and Kenya, as well as Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, said that China has a considerable impact on the local businesses and it would be reasonable to increase the share of the Chinese national currency in the international payments.
Director of the Macroeconomic and Financial Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa Caleb Fundanga said: “The general conclusion is that we should use the yuan more because its time has come. We are doing more business with China so it's natural that we use the currency of the country with which we are trading. Just the way we have been using the US dollar and the euro, we want to use the Chinese currency more in our transactions because it is to our benefit.” However, some experts think that it is premature to talk about a complete refusal of the US dollar. This process is going to be very complicated and time-consuming. Besides, even if the greenback loses its power, the situation is unlikely to change. Another currency and another country will take the leading position. The idea of a financial parity is just an utopia.
