In den USA werden Konjunkturdaten derzeit vor allem auf Schwächezeichen abgeklopft. Die Industrieproduktion und die Einzelhandelsumsätze im April dürften keine Ausnahme sein. Zudem stehen in dieser Woche auch einige Vorlaufindikatoren an. In der Eurozone könnte die Erstmeldung zum BIP-Wachstum in Q1 angesichts der schwachen harten Märzdaten leicht revidiert werden. Der ZEW-Index gibt die Stimmung der Finanzmarktteilnehmer im Mai wieder. Durchwachsene Konjunkturdaten und das Thema Schuldenobergrenze in den USA dürften wichtige Faktoren gewesen sein.

Still, with 5% of total assets and 76% of capital, they remain considerable and a risk on bank balance sheets, especially in light of the general exemption from capital requirements and concentration limits. Risk parameters differ between national banking markets, and the home bias remains high, at around 80%, as banks hardly diversify into other euro-area debt. The cross-country differences make it difficult for policymakers to agree on a fully mutualized European Deposit Insurance Scheme and thus complete the Banking Union. [mehr]

The new edition of our Germany: Economic Chartbook provides an overview of key data on current economic developments. The winter dip in the German economy has not been as severe as feared. Nevertheless, the picture at the current margin is rather divergent. While headline inflation is likely to subside further, core inflation might prove sticky. Private household demand is still under pressure, despite strong inflation-related one-off payments. Corporate lending slows after a long boom. Overall, we expect only a shallow recovery for the rest of the year, so German GDP is likely to stagnate on average in 2023. Last but not least, we also update you on our recent thematic research on the German housing market, progress with the energy transition and the German position on the recent EU fiscal rules proposal.
