For these of us who nonetheless imagine quaint metrics of the cycle matter, then the quarterly Fed SLOOS later as we speak might really be essentially the most informative for the place the financial system is likely to be in 6-12 months. We even have the manufacturing (tomorrow) and companies (Thursday) ISMs as a well timed indicator of the momentum within the US financial system.

Elsewhere, development upset in Germany, stagnating in Q2 (0.0% qoq vs +0.1% exp) after the technical recession seen in the course of the winter.
