The big picture
The ECB's revised Supercore inflation indicator is now more cyclical, with a correlation of 0.76 to the unemployment gap versus 0.61 previously, sharpening its signal for policy. Meanwhile, record foreign selling of Japanese bonds—¥1.25 trillion in a week—threatens to push yields up, raising the cost of Japan's public debt. High debt in the Americas triples spread sensitivity to deficits, a warning for fiscal discipline. These threads point to a global repricing of rate expectations and sovereign risk.
On the watchlist
- Bank of Japan's next policy meeting on 2026-09-18, with 10-year JGB yield above 1.5%.
- US core CPI release on 2026-09-13, against 2.9% year-over-year last month.
- ECB's next monetary policy decision on 2026-09-10, with the deposit facility rate at 2.00%.
- India's forex reserves crossing $700 billion, from $691 billion in 2026.
- Serbia's inflation for August 2026, due 2026-09-01, against 1.9% year-over-year in July.
