    August 11. The rise in producer prices in the United States was the highest in almost 2 years

    According to the US Department of Labor, producer prices in the country (PPI) in July 2020 rose by 0.6% compared to the previous month. This was the highest growth rate since October 2018. Analysts on average had expected an increase of 0.3%.

    Such jump in prices is mainly due to the rise in energy costs amid the relaxation of restrictions imposed in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.

    Compared to July 2019, the PPI index dropped by 0.4%. Experts had forecast a 0.7% decline.

    August 13. US still can't agree on stimulus package

    Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats in Congress on the next round of economic aid measures remain stalled.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that the lower house is ready to negotiate with the Senate and the administration and reduce the difference between the proposed package of measures. The White House administration is offering $1 trillion, and the Chamber is offering $3.5 trillion.

    However, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin called such a proposal «misleading» and said that Democratic negotiators were not yet ready for a compromise at all.

Thus, the European economy has been declining for two quarters, which suggests that Europe has entered a recession.

    August 19. Gold prices dropped below $ 2,000 due to dollar stabilization

    The price of gold dropped today below the level of $2,000 per ounce (to $1,987.93) amid the stabilization of the US dollar in the market. The American currency is awaiting details on the strategy of the US Federal Reserve to support the economy affected by the pandemic.

    However, experts note that expectations of further weakening of the dollar may lead to the fact that in the near future gold will be able to gain a foothold above the $2,000 level and reach new record highs.

    Tonight will be released the minutes of the meeting of the US Federal Reserve, which may contain hints of a shift in the forecast for monetary policy. However, no changes in interest rates are expected until the end of 2021.

    Palladium lost 0.33% to $2.181.43 an ounce, while silver slipped 0.73% to $27.45 an ounce. Platinum fell 1.15% to $945.25.

    August 20. The number of applications for unemployment benefits in the United States exceeded 1 million

    The number of initial jobless claims rose unexpectedly to 1.106 million, according to the US Labor Department, fueling fears that the recovery in America's labor market could be delayed. Experts predicted a decrease in the number of applications to 925 thousand.

    The number of Americans who submitted secondary claims for benefits fell to 14.844 million. The total number of people claiming unemployment benefits fell by 200 thousand, to 28.06 million.

    The US authorities note that since the labor market is still weak, additional financial assistance will be required in the near future to support vulnerable families and the economy as a whole.

    September 01. German authorities have improved economic forecast for 2020

    The German authorities have improved their forecast for the outlook for the economy in 2020 amid signs of effectiveness in efforts to support and stimulate Europe's largest economy.

    The German central bank expects the country's GDP to contract by 5.8% this year, while back in April it was predicted that the economy would contract by 6.3%. At the same time, the new forecast still does not rule out the onset of one of the most significant economic recessions since the end of World War II.

    Meanwhile, the forecast for next year was downgraded. Experts expect that the German economy in 2021 will grow by only 4.4%, while the previous forecast assumed growth of 5.2%. Also, the Ministry of Economy of the country notes that Germany, most likely, will not be able to achieve pre-crisis GDP indicators until early 2022.

    September 07. Johnson calls Brexit deadline

    British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that a Brexit trade deal with the European Union should be concluded by October 15. The politician noted that if the parties fail to reach an agreement by this time, then the free trade deal will most likely not be concluded at all.

    According to Johnson, if the negotiations are unsuccessful, the UK will have a relationship with the EU similar to that of the EU and Australia, which is also a good result. In this case, Britain will have full control over its laws and regulations, as well as the conditions for the use of British fishing waters.

    The Prime Minister also stressed that Britain is ready to find a reasonable agreement with the EU on practical issues, including flights, freight transport or scientific cooperation, even if a trade deal is not reached.

    The post-Brexit transition period began for the UK on January 31, 2020 and will last until December 31, 2020. During this year, the EU and Britain should reconcile their future relationship. The next stage of negotiations is scheduled for tomorrow, September 8th.
