Eurozone Market Scorecard Print
Europe
First quarter GDP growth for the eurozone grew 0,6% compared to the same period the previous year, and rose 0,8%
Equities
versus the previous quarter at an annualised rate. This was somewhat disappointing given the weakness of the euro
Overall Economy ' recently; Germany registered just 0,6% growth at annualised rate and France grew by 0,5%, while Greece saw a
significant contraction of 4,0%. Bloomberg consensus estimates suggest the region may grow by 1,1% in 2010, and by
1,3% in 2011.
Eurozone unemployment is currently 10,4%. It is likely to fall as economic recovery takes place, but in those countries
Employment ' that will be seeing a shrinkage of the state due to budget deficit reduction, a rise in public sector unemployment may limit
the overall fall.
Exporters have benefited from recent weakness of the euro against the dollar and the yen, but domestic demand growth
Corporate Earnings &' remains weak and perhaps still dependent on fiscal stimulus programmes.
The European Central Bank (ECB) repo rate stands at 1%, and may remain at that level for the rest of 2010 given the
fiscal and economic problems facing many of the peripheral eurozone countries. Core eurozone bond markets have
proved a safe haven relative to those of peripheral eurozone countries, helping to reduce corporate borrowing costs.
Interest Rates &' However, with M3 eurozone money supply down 0,7% year on year, it appears there is not much bank lending taking
place in the region in aggregate. The ECB's instance on sterilising its bond market purchase operation is illustrative of a
generally more hawkish stance than that of the Bank of England or the US Federal Reserve.
Eurozone headline CPI inflation of 1,6% year on year might seem dangerously close to the ECB's 2% target to some at
the central bank, but this hides substantial regional variations. Greek inflation was 5,4% over the same period, while
Inflation & Germany saw prices rise by only 0,2%. Bloomberg consensus estimates suggest little change in the year on year rate of
eurozone inflation over the next year, as fiscal retrenchment limits regional growth prospects.
It is unclear whether European banks will require more state aid, and whether bond market investors will look kindly on
governments that add to their deficits through nationalising more bank debt. However, if the recent austerity budgets that
have been announced throughout the region do indeed cut into the region's budget deficits, bond investors may be more
Key News Items &' sympathetic to attempts by governments to re-capitalise banks should it prove necessary. Recent anecdotal evidence
TOC
suggests that Germany has seen a boom in exports recently, suggesting a two-speed recovery in the eurozone is taking
place with the core countries outpacing the peripheral countries.

US Market Scorecard Print
United States
First quarter GDP growth in the US rose 2,4% compared to the same quarter in the previous year, and at an annualised
rate of 3,0% versus the last quarter of 2009. Recent labour market and housing data has been weaker than had been
Overall Economy & expected, but the US is nonetheless recovering from the recession at a much faster pace than the major European
economies. Bloomberg consensus estimates are for GDP growth of 3,2% in 2010 and for a slightly lower rate of 2,9% in
2011.
Unemployment has stabilised at 9,7%. However new job creation is not robust and some analysts fear that a
Employment &' 'jobless recovery' is taking place.
While blue chip companies can continue to benefit from strong demand growth in Asia and the emerging markets, mid
Corporate Earnings &' and small cap stocks are vulnerable to weak consumer demand growth at home and will be more susceptible to any
disappointment in growth data over the coming months.
The Federal Reserve Bank appears to be in no hurry to raise interest rates, given subdued core inflation and weak
Interest Rates
& money supply growth. The Bloomberg Consensus estimate for the Fed's target rate is to remain at 0,25% until the year
end. Despite the large US budget deficit, Treasury yields fell in May and June which has helped to lower the cost of
borrowing for corporates.
Headline CPI inflation stands at 2,0% year on year (down from 2,2% in April). Inflation does not appear to be a
Inflation & major risk as long as disinflationary forces, such as high unemployment and weak wage growth, remain in place.
The US is unlikely to face a double dip recession, but it faces several challenges over the coming months. These
include: 1) the difficulty of increasing domestic consumption at a time when households are paying off debt and
rebuilding savings, and employment growth is weak. 2) The difficulty of exporting more when trading partners in
Key News Items &' Europe have also adopted the export growth strategy, and have the advantage of weaker currencies. In Asia, China
has slightly revalued the yuan but other large exporters remain wedded to a dollar peg. 3) The impact on the
economy of the eventual withdrawal of the fiscal stimulus.

Japan Market Scorecard Print
Japan
First quarter GDP growth came in at an impressive 4,6% over the same period the previous year, and was at 5,0% at an
annualised rate versus the pervious quarter. Japan is benefiting from an inventory rebuild in Asia and elsewhere, and
Overall Economy &' from temporary government schemes to boost consumption. However the strengthening yen, persistent deflation and a
ballooning fiscal deficit create a problematic macro economic background. The Bloomberg consensus estimate for GDP
growth is 2,2% this year and 1,9% in 2011.
Unemployment has risen since April, and now stands at 5,1%. Nonetheless, it is low by the standards of other G7
Employment &' countries.
Export driven companies have enjoyed strong overseas sales growth, but the 19% fall of the euro against the yen in the
first half of 2010, and the 5% fall of the dollar (and Asian currencies pegged to the dollar), may slow down export growth
Corporate Earnings &' later this year. Domestic focused companies face weak demand growth, aggravated by persistent deflation and an aging
population.
The Bank of Japan's call rate stands at 0,1%. Given the deflationary environment, interest rates are positive in contrast
Interest Rates &' to all other major developed economies. The call rate is likely to remain very low, given the persistent problem of
deflation.
Headline CPI inflation is currently standing at minus 0,9% year on year. Given the country's shrinking population and
Inflation ' relatively weak consumer sector, deflation seems likely to persist.
Investors hope that the new government will engage in long-awaited supply-side reforms, which will stimulate
Key News Items ' competition within the economy and boost consumer demand. Japan may be able to muddle on without them in the near
term, but the longer term picture is bleak if economic reform is not addressed.
