Key FX, rates and macro views
Shocks…and reactions to shocks

Now… slowdown in the US

Still… sovereign debt worries in Europe

And oil (Commodities)
Contrasting central banks and policymakers

We look for the Fed to stay on hold until 2014

We also expect the ECB to cut rates – after hiking rates earlier this year

Core drivers in previous ECB hikes: headline (ECB) versus core inflation (Fed)
We expect EUR-USD to fall short-term below 1.28, then up to 1.40

Europe sovereign debt worries, ECB rate cuts, no near-term QE3

US fiscal policy has different effects over time

In general, our USD forecasts are mixed and ambivalent

 Quarterly forecasts for oil
are 102/104 (brent) and
88/94 (WTI)
 Old rule of thumb: $10/bbl
means 0.5pp fall in GDP
