Welcome to your weekly macro roundup. This comprehensive edition covers the United States, Europe, and key emerging markets with in-depth analysis of the week's most significant economic developments and what they mean for markets ahead.

## 🇺🇸 Yields retreated. The inflation pipeline did not.

Trade services PPI surged a record +2.7% MoM in April while the 10-year Treasury yield fell 24 basis points on ceasefire hopes. Core PCE rose to 3.3% YoY and three FOMC hawks formally dissented, flagging hike optionality the market has not priced.

## 🇪🇺 Germany's May CPI misses by 30 basis points, and the energy impulse behind Schnabel's post-June case is already fading

Germany's May preliminary CPI printed 2.6%, 30 basis points below consensus, as the energy component slowed to 6.6% from 10.1%. June is locked in; the question is whether the energy impulse Schnabel needs to justify September is already fading.

## 🇬🇧 UK composite PMI fell to a 13-month low in May while services input costs hit an all-time survey high

UK composite PMI fell to 48.5 in May while services input costs hit an all-time high in the S&P Global survey. The Bank of England's June 18 Monetary Policy Committee meeting is live, not the cut that gilts are pricing.

## 🌏 EM central banks are fracturing along the current account fault line

Turkey held at 37% but JPMorgan sees a hike to the 40% corridor ceiling as imminent. Mexico's floor sits at 6.50%, where peso stability has more sway than the domestic cycle. Brazil's near-10% real rate on the Selic stands apart from both.
