The loss of output growth momentum was the greatest since the middle of 2011, says Market, while the survey doesn't take into account the impact of the Cyprus flair-up. The Dax and euro dive, and are -0.7% and -0.3% (vs the dollar) respectively. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
Tuesday, March 12, 3:08 AM German harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) falls to +1.8% Y/Y in February from +1.9% in January. On month, HICP +0.8% vs -0.7%. CPI slips to +1.5% Y/Y from +1.7%; on month +0.6% vs -0.5%. All the numbers were in line. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Thursday, August 2, 2012, 4:56 AM S&P affirms Germany's AAA rating and stable outlook, citing the country's "strong economic fundamentals" and saying it expects the nation to "continue to withstand potential financial and economic shocks." S&P's confirmation comes after Moody's last month cut its outlook on Germany to negative. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 6:23 AM Germany hits back at Moody's after the ratings agency gave the country a negative outlook, pointing out that it has exceptionally low borrowing costs. "Germany will, through solid economic and financial policy, defend its 'safe haven' status," the finance ministry says. Yields on 10-year bonds are +6 bps to 1.24%. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
Monday, June 25, 2012, 5:49 AM Bunds are losing some of their safe haven status, as investors wonder whether Germany can continue to bear the burden of backstopping the eurozone crisis. U.S. Treasurys are likely to benefit, as few other havens remain; Switzerland and Japan are trying to deter investors to keep their currencies from appreciating, while Denmark and its northern neighbors aren't large enough to be true havens. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 10:26 AM Germany will tomorrow auction bonds with a zero coupon for the first time, underscoring its status as the ultimate safe haven despite the chaos that surrounds it. Germany plans to sell €5B ($6.41B) of two-year notes as investors seek merely "the return of capital rather than the return on capital." 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 9:41 AM Germany and France benefit from safe-haven status in bond sales, with Germany selling €4.11B ($5.2B) of 10-year bonds at an average yield of 1.47%, down from 1.77% and the lowest on record. France auctions €7B-€8B of four bonds maturing from 2014-2017, also with lower yields. It seems that M. Hollande isn't so scary after all. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 4:15 AM The German government expects GDP growth of 0.6-0.9% this year, according to German daily Die Welt, and growth of 1.6-1.9% next year. The figures indicate some optimism, as the government's most recent forecast was for 0.7% growth this year and 1.6% next. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
Monday, April 23, 2012, 4:06 AM German PMI comes in at 46.3, the lowest since July 2009 and missing estimates for 49. The data adds to concerns about the outlook for the eurozone's largest economy. 1 Comment [Top Stories, Global & FX]
Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 10:44 AM The IMF warns fiscal concerns are cutting the supply of "safe" government debt just at the time when demand for such assets are rising. Such scarcity risks raising the price of safe assets to worrisome levels (witness Germany yesterday). 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 6:03 AM After surging recently, and despite today's more expensive Italian bond auction and woeful Spanish industrial output data, yields on 10-year Italian and Spanish debt take a dive. That latter is -14 bps at 5.84% and Italian yields are -18 bp at 5.51%. German yields, which had been falling, are +15 bps at 1.79%. 2 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Thursday, March 29, 2012, 5:41 AM German unemployment falls to 6.7% in March, the lowest since comparable records began in 1998, from from 6.8% in Feb. The decline comes despite the eurozone debt crisis and indicates that the Germany economy may be recovering from its dip. New orders fell 16% in Feb. Y/Y, but industry group VDMA expects output to pick up again in H2. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Thursday, March 22, 2012, 5:55 AM Markit Flash Germany PMI for March: manufacturing 48.1 (50.2 in February), 4-month low; services activity 51.8 (52.8), 4-month low; composite output index 51.4 (53.2), 3-month low. "A slight stumble for Germany’s private sector in March, meaning the survey is tracking a modest GDP rise of around 0.2%" over Q1," Markit says. (PR) 1 Comment [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 11:33 AM Germany is happy to practice what it preaches, passing legislation that will balance the budget in 2014, two years ahead of schedule. The country's debt brake will force federal and state governments to limit new borrowing, while it also helps that the economy is not in severe recession. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 7:10 AM "The German economy shows signs of stabilization at the start of the year," says the country's economic ministry in an upbeat assessment of the situation in its monthly report. "Sentiment indicators have markedly improved. Businesses and consumers are thus expecting that the economy will gather steam over the coming months." Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 6:39 AM Germany's ZEW Economic Sentiment Indicator increases by 16.9 points to 22.3 for March, marking the highest reading since June 2010 and the 4th consecutive month the sentiment indicator has trended higher. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
