ECB President Christine Lagarde and her colleagues are set to cut by a quarter point \u2014 as are the Swiss, whose currency attracts speculators at times of geopolitical stress.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Those decisions are among the highlights in a period of concentrated monetary policy action leading up to the Federal Reserve decision on Dec. 18 that economists reckon could prompt another quarter-point cut in the US.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->What Bloomberg Economics Says:<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->\u201cThe ECB is highly likely to lower rates by 25 bps at its next meeting on Dec. 12 and members of the Governing Council are drawing battle-lines for what will follow in 2025.\u201d<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->\u2014 David Powell, senior economist.

On an annual basis, the core measure probably rose 3.3% for a third month.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Meanwhile, a gauge of prices paid to producers minus food and fuel probably rose by 3.2% in November from a year earlier, the biggest annual increase since June, indicating a gradual pickup in wholesale inflation.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Further north, markets and economists are leaning toward a second consecutive 50 basis-point cut from the Bank of Canada after the unemployment rate surged to its highest in three years.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->The central bank\u2019s series of cuts since June appear to have reignited the housing market and consumer spending \u2014 and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s plan to temporarily waive sales taxes on a variety of items has the potential to supercharge holiday shopping.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->But Trump\u2019s threat of 25% tariffs is casting a shadow over the Canadian economy, and Governor Tiff Macklem is likely to face a barrage of questions on how the uncertainty will affect the central bank\u2019s forecasts for the coming year.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Asia<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Data on Monday may show that China\u2019s price trends improved by the thinnest of margins in November, with consumer inflation seen picking up a tad to 0.5% and the decline in factory-gate prices moderating a smidgen, in data expected to confirm that the impact from stimulus isn\u2019t yet rippling broadly through the economy.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->The following day, China gets trade data that\u2019s forecast to show export growth decelerated last month.

Sherpas, deputy finance ministers and deputy central bank governors will gather to start laying the foundation for the presidents\u2019 meeting next November.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In Egypt on Tuesday, data will probably show inflation slowed slightly from October\u2019s year-on-year 26.5%. Most analysts doubt it will decelerate quickly enough for the central bank to begin a cycle of rate cuts until around March.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->On Wednesday, South Africa\u2019s inflation rate is expected to climb for the first time in nine months, to 3.1% in November from 2.8% in October, on the back of a weaker rand and rising gasoline prices.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In Russia on Wednesday, monetary policymakers will look for further signs of slowing inflation in November data, after it eased to 8.5% the previous month. That\u2019s as pressure builds for the central bank to hike its key rate again this month in an ongoing effort to bring price growth to the 4% target next year.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Latin America<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In Brazil, rising and above-target consumer prices and rates should weigh on GDP-proxy and retail sales reports.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->At the same time, inflation last month probably drifted further above the 4.5% top of the target range, and the central bank is likely to see off 2024 with a rate hike of at least 75 basis points.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Central bank surveys of expectations are on tap from Brazil, Colombia and Chile, with the latter serving up market readouts from both analysts and traders.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->In Mexico, October industrial production and November\u2019s consumer price report should provide fresh evidence that Latin America\u2019s No. 2 economy is cooling off.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Analysts expect headline inflation and the core print to both grind lower, likely green-lighting Banxico for a fourth straight rate cut at its December meeting.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Peru\u2019s central bank is likely to stand pat and keep its key rate at 5% after November\u2019s pickup in consumer prices.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Argentina\u2019s economy has likely pulled out of recession and the end of capital controls in 2025 appears to be a given.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->But monthly disinflation may have hit a near-term floor with October\u2019s 2.7% reading, even as the November year-on-year reading declines for a seventh straight month.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->&#8211;With assistance from Patrick Donahue, Brian Fowler, Vince Golle, Tony Halpin, Robert Jameson, Laura Dhillon Kane, Monique Vanek and Paul Wallace.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->\u00a92024 Bloomberg L.P.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/specter-trump-spurs-final-round-210000442.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Bloomberg) &#8212;
