Looking to stay on top of what’s going on in financial markets and economic data around the world? Each week, we publish our Global Macro Dashboard, a rundown of 23 different major global economies. We include equity prices, equity valuations and yields, real economic growth, unemployment, retail sales, industrial production, inflation, growth of the money supply, FX rates, and interest rates in one easily digestible packet of charts. Of course, detailed economic or financial analysis often requires deeper dives into the details, but this report is a great way to hit the high notes around the world and look for possible opportunities..

Mexico heads to the polls on Sunday in an enormously consequential election that has implications for asset markets, trade negotiations, and more (for background, our Bespokecast conversation with Horacio Coutino of ETM Analytics has you covered, link). Ahead of that election, Mexico’s stock market has underperformed badly and interest rates have risen significantly. Bond yields have risen and the Banxico has worked to fight the fall in the peso by hiking rates. While the labor market is hot (new cycle lows in unemployment), real GDP growth and industrial production have slowed. Below we show the chart pack for Mexico from this week’s Global Macro Dashboard, which is included with a subscription to Bespoke Institutional.

Remember back when Greece was the laughingstock of Europe with its seemingly non-stop economic, political, and debt problems?  They aren’t laughing as much anymore.  Just yesterday, S&P raised its rating on Greek long-term debt, and while the current rating of B+ is still pretty far down the ladder in terms of quality, it’s moving in the right direction.  As things currently stand, Greek 10-year debt sports a yield of 4.11%, which is down more than a full percentage point in the last year.

At the same time that yields on Greek debt have been falling, yields on Italian debt have been rising.  In Italy, yields on 10-year debt are at 2.89%.  While that’s right around the same yield as the US 10-year, relative to most other of its EU peers, Italian debt yields are up sharply over the last year as well as the last three months.  As a result of the opposite moves in the yields of Greek and Italian 10-year debt, the spread between the two has narrowed considerably.  Through Tuesday, yields on 10-year Greek debt offer a premium of just 122 basis points over Italian debt, which is the narrowest spread since December 2009. We’ll let you decide what this says about the relative attractiveness of either country’s debt.
