Starting the week badly with a feeling that inflation might spoil the stimulus put in place, we end it with some feeling that
inflation coming from commodity prices rise is being tampered by other deflation influence, making both PPI and CPI very friendly
data after all. G8 finance ministers tried to cool inflation fears in saying they would cool off the monetary and fiscal stimulus, in order to do
a break to the latest long term yield rise which might have been a threat to the coming fragile economic recovery. It worked, although it
also brought some doubts on the timing and the strength of the recovery which equity indices played on the downside as there was no
real further motivation to climb higher at a time when fund managers are writing their H1 reports while option gamma players can't be as
active as they used to be in this supposed to be heavy quarterly expiry. Treasuries were knocked sharply lower yesterday though, but
after the Treasury Department announced a series of auctions for next week. The auction will carry amounts that exceed what was
expected, which pressured the benchmark 10-year Note and sent its yield up above 3.8%. Still off the 4% reached on the top of the yield
rebound, remaining some decent and attractive historical levels, which will hardly head higher given the recovery pace expected soft.
One important driver of the recent increase in commodity prices has been coming from China. Aluminium imports for April and
May were up over 400% y/y in volume terms, while copper imports have also risen by around 100% y/y. In both cases, inventory levels in
the country have risen sharply in recent months. Loan growth continues to soar and reported urban fixed investment was up 39% y/y last
month. Chinese economy should be supported by huge domestic stimulus which aims are setting up internal growth properly, fitting with
the strong urbanization move and a better health care system. As a reminder until 2011 the stimulus put in place is an equivalent of a
Hong Kong and NY City new construction per year.
The Philly Fed activity index out yesterday jumped to a 10-month high of -2.2 in June, from -22.6, suggesting that manufacturing
output may be close to finding a floor. Indeed, aside from a brief spike up to +1.9 in September last year, this is actually the best
reading since November 2007, just before the economy officially entered recession. The details of the survey were equally as
encouraging as the headline index. New orders jumped to minus 4.8, from minus 25.9, while shipments improved to 2.1, from minus 19.0.
The only disappointment is that the improvement in the employment index was more modest. It remains firmly in negative territory, at
minus 21.8 compared with minus 26.8 in May. Both the prices paid and received balances strengthened, suggesting that manufacturers
are having some success in passing on higher commodity prices.
A recovery is on track in the US, but the lack of interest from market players in these levels given the latest sharp rebound from
March lows is making next month an interesting one when the Q2 earnings will valid the economic improvement from a top bottom logic.
Option expiry today might be disappointing so much we trade away from strike levels requesting hedging positions. The lack of protection
though on the upside once the expiry is over from long only fund managers and others trading players might trigger a nice and bullish run
which will send equity indices on new highs starting today.

ECONOMIC DATA PREVIEW


No economic data are due in the United-States

Watch in Germany the Producer prices for May, due at 07.00 GMT, expected to remained stable at 0.0%after dropping by 1.4% in
April. Meanwhile from a year ago German’s producer prices are expected to go deeper into negative territory mainly due to a “base
effects” as producer prices rose by 0.9% in May 2008 versus 0.0% expected in May 2009.

ECONOMY
UNITED-STATES : INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS SLITHLY ROSE AND CONTINUING CLAIMS STOP CLIMBING
Initial jobless claims in the united-States seems to have reached a ground floor as they rose at a slower pace and should stop increasing
in a near future. Indeed weekly Initial jobless claims rose from 605 000 to 608 000 last week. Meanwhile after rising for almost a year,
th
and breaking new historical high record, continuing claims slightly dropped from 6 835 000 to 6 687 000 May 5 showing that the worst
seems to have past on the labour market which is slowly but surely recovering.

UNITED-STATES : CONFERENCE BOARD LEADING INDEX ROSE FOR A SECOND STRAIGHT MONTH IN MAY
The Conference Board leading index rose increase 1.2% (forecast 1%) in May after rising by 1.1% in April. This is the biggest back to
back gain since November-December 2001. This encouraging data of the Conference Board index reflecting the direction of the
economy over the next three to six months is another sign that the recession is now slowing down. Indeed the last U.S. economic data
are showing encouraging economic outlook like the drop of 46% of jobs destruction, the rise of the ISM manufacturing index, the
increase of the retail sales, the rebound of housing starts and building permits and the rise of the household consumption and more
generally the rebound of household consumption. The rise of the leading economic index is surely another sign of the progressive
recovery of the U.S. economy.

UNITED-STATES : U.S. PHILADELPHIA FED INDEX JUMPED TO A TEN MONTH HIGH.


The Philadelphia Fed index jumped to a ten month high by -2.2 in June from -22.6 in May. This other encouraging data is suggesting
that the manufacturing output is near to have reached a ground floor. Looking at the breakdown the new orders jumped to -4.8 from -
25.9, shipments improved to 2.1,form -19 but the employment index remained disappointing remaining in negative territory at -21.8.
Nevertheless its important to notice that most of these balance of the breakdown main figure remained in negative territory suggesting
that the activity is still contracting./JB
