The EU and its member states’ reports were mixed. Germany and Italy posted above 50 points figures on the Manufacturing PMI while France and Spain had the opposite results. The figures for Germany, Italy, France, and Spain were 57.8 points, 51.5 points, 49.6 points, and 49.8 points, respectively. France and Spain have the highest recorded coronavirus infections within the group with 2.23 million and 1.66 million cases. When it comes to unemployment results, Germany and Italy also had positive numbers. The data for their most recent reports were a decrease to 6.1% unemployment rate in Europe’s largest economy while Italy beat the 9.9% expectations with a 9.8% result. These figures suggest that even when Germany and Italy had positive figures, the disappointing results from France and Spain will drag the single currency with them. Hence, a continued downward movement for the euro currency should be expected.
New Zealand will see a short-term weakness in its local currency following the imports and exports prices indices decline. The implementation of stricter border control in the country due to COVID-19 have led to a slowdown in the imports and exports business. This means that more inventories are being kept by businesses who wants to import or export in NZ. The figures for these reports were -3.7% and -8.3%, of which the later represents the steepest decline in the report since 2014. On the other hand, Japan’s labor force is expected to pick up in the upcoming reports. The country’s unemployment rate inched higher to 3.1% in October. However, the Jobs/Application ratio had increased on the same month. The figure went up to 1.4% against September’s 1.3% result. This means that Japan’s government has created new jobs of 104 vacant positions for 100 individual applicants. The blue-collar workers will benefit from the higher Jobs/Application ratio.
