Gramercy Insight:
In late June the IMF made major downward revisions to its global, regional and country growth projections and market consensus is in the process of catching up to the Fund’s expected 5% contraction in global growth and weaker recovery in 2021. We maintain our view that depite the materil growth downgrade, downside risks remain, given challenges associated with reopening strategies and lack of clarity regarding the outlook for COVID-19.
Composite PMI data for the major global economies continued to rebound in July, returning to expansionary levels in the US and Euro Area. China’s composite PMI has been >50 since May. Amid gradual reopening strategies, tracking of consumer behavior and mobility will be an important leading indicator in determining the strength and timing of recovery.
