The 5.2% annualised increase in the headline expenditure-based measure of US GDP in Q3 partly represents payback for earlier weakness. GDP has risen at a modest 1.7% annualised pace since end-2021, well below average expansion of 2.5% in the five years preceding the pandemic (i.e. to end-2019).

Global six-month real narrow money momentum – a key leading indicator in the forecasting approach employed here – is estimated to have rebounded in October, having reached a new low in September. Allowing for an average 6-7 month lead, this suggests that the global composite PMI new orders index will decline into end-Q1 2024 but may stabilise in Q2 if September is confirmed as a low for real money momentum.

Chinese six-month money growth rates were little changed in September / October following a sharp slowdown over the summer, suggesting weak economic prospects through end-Q1 2024. A small consolation is that recent monetary softness is partly explained by a rise in government deposits at the PBoC, representing yet-to-be deployed fiscal firepower.

The global composite PMI new orders index fell from 49.5 in September to 49.3 in October, extending a decline from a local peak in May. Recent weakness was signalled by a fall in six-month real narrow money momentum, which reached a new low in September, suggesting a further PMI decline into end-Q1.

The PBoC has, ostensibly, been easing monetary policy – it reduced official rates in August, cut reserve requirements in September and has been injecting large sums in its regular lending operations. Yet three-month SHIBOR has risen since late August and is almost back to its March high.
