Gramercy Insight:
The IMF’s global growth forecast for this year of -3.0% is below the market consensus but we expect estimates to continue to be revised down in the coming weeks and months, particularly as more data on the economic impact thus far becomes available. Growth continues to face downside risk in the near term, depending on crisis management and challenges associated with swift demand-side recovery.
China’s manufacturing Caixin PMI print disappointed slightly relative to expectations at 49.4 (vs. market consensus of 50.5) this week. The easing relative to March is likely mostly reflective of weak external demand conditions with particuarly soft new export orders. Additional data in the coming weeks should be monitored closely to further assess if the weakness is more related to domestic factors as opposed to external ones. If the former, concerns over a W-shaped recovery would surface.
