US: Retail sales (Dec): -1.2% m/m vs 0.1% expected (prior: 0.1% revised from 0.2%)

• Headline sales posted the largest drop in nine years. Excluding autos, which posted a strong 1.0% gain in December, sales plummeted an even sharper 1.8%. That's the worst m/m growth since 2008.
• The real weakness was in the underlying sales figures; after a 1.0% gain in November, control group sales plunged by 1.7%. Weakness in the report was broad-based across categories, with sales falling in all of the major categories that compose the retail control group.
• The largest declines were seen in sporting goods stores (-4.9%), miscellaneous store retailers (-4.1%), non-store retailers (-3.9%), and health and personal care stores (-2.0%). Outside of that core group, the only gains were seen in auto sales (up 1.0%) and building materials (up 0.3%).
• With this figure, the Fed should remain patient on key rates.

US: PPI (Jan): -0.1% m/m vs 0.1% expected (prior: -0.1% revised from -0.2%)

• Excluding the volatile food and energy components, underlying inflationary pressures remain firm.
• Final demand for services, particularly trade services, rebounded in the month - a sign that firming wage pressures may be progressing into a broad pickup in price growth.

US: Initial jobless claims (Feb 9): 239k vs 225k expected (prior: 235k revised from 234k)

• Continuing claims: 1773k vs 1740k expected (prior: 1736k)

Germany: GDP (Q4 P): 0% q/q vs 0.1% expected (prior: -0.2%)

• On a y/y basis: 0.6% vs 0.7% expected (prior: 1.1%)
• In Q3, the contraction was largely caused by a huge slump in output from the auto industry as new emission standards created widespread disruption.
• While the there is no breakdown at this stage, the press release says that the decline was mostly due to weak net exports.
• However, it also concedes that household consumption increased only "slightly". In contrast, fixed investment held up relatively well, particularly in construction.
• German Industry will continue to struggle if external demand is not stronger.

Eurozone: GDP (Q4 P): 0.2% q/q as expected (prior: 0.2%)

• On a y/y basis: 1.2% as expected (prior: 1.2%)
• The second estimate of euro-zone GDP confirmed that the economy increased by only 0.2%. There is still no expenditure breakdown for the aggregate figure, but we know from the national data that both external and domestic demand weighed on activity.

Turkey: Current account (Dec): -1.44bn USD vs -1.50bn expected (prior: 1.10bn revised from 0.99bn)

• Turkey posted a current-account deficit after running a surplus for four straight months.

Turkey: Industrial production (Dec): -1.4% m/m (prior: -0.3%)

• On a y/y basis: -9.8% vs -7.5% expected (prior: -6.6% revised from -6.5%).
• Durable consumer goods declined by 7.4% m/m, while capital goods decreased by 2.2% m/m.
