1) Indian markets performed well in May with the Nifty 50 index rising 3.4% and outperforming global markets. Mid and small cap indices fell but have outperformed so far in 2017.
2) Inflation continued to surprise on the downside, falling to 2.99% in April. Wholesale inflation also declined and core inflation is at a series low. Lower global commodity prices and a favorable base will likely keep inflation low.
3) The RBI's monetary policy was dovish in line with lower growth and inflation data. While rates were kept unchanged, the tone and forecasts signal potential future rate cuts to boost the economy.

Highlights
• Economic slump has bottomed out – expect slow recovery ahead
• 2009-10 growth forecasts will be revised upwards by most as the year progresses
• Expectations of global growth resurgence fuels commodities and crude prices
• Dollar dives, rupee surges to 47 - more trouble for exporters ahead
• Fuel price deregulation on the cards
• But all is not well – and overheated stock markets need to cool a bit
India: Kal, aaj aur kal
The numbers all seem to be looking up, the stock markets all seem to be rising once again, and cheer is back. There is spring in the air. One wonders what happened suddenly to make everything so nice. Anyhow, things as predicted are improving – largely because of heavy government interventions internationally. The lower interest rates in India are also starting to have their impact – this was all predicted, as interest rate reductions take some time to play out. But what is also predicted is that things will take a few months more to stabilise - we estimate growth for this financial year to be an unexciting 6.6%.
The document provides estimates of e-commerce activity in key sectors of the U.S. economy for 2017, revising prior year estimates. E-commerce shipments of U.S. manufacturers were $3,729.5 billion in 2017, up 7.5% from 2016. E-commerce sales for merchant wholesalers were $2,442.9 billion in 2017, up 4.4% from 2016. Revenues from electronic sources for service industries were $1,004.3 billion in 2017. E-commerce sales for U.S. retailers were $461.0 billion in 2017, up 16.0% from 2016. The document also provides tables and figures displaying total and e-commerce estimates
The document summarizes key economic indicators and market activity from the previous day. It reports that stocks rebounded after declining the previous day, with the Nasdaq up 1.6%, S&P 500 up 1.3% and Dow up 1.1%. However, trading volumes fell. Bond yields and the dollar increased after a strong jobs report showed the economy added 204,000 jobs in October, easing fears about the impact of the government shutdown.
The document provides updates on the Indian economy from various news sources:
- GDP growth in the April-June quarter rose to 20.1% year-on-year due to a very low base in the same period last year during the national lockdown. While recovery is underway, the economy has not fully recovered.
- High-frequency indicators in August like GST collections, auto sales, rail freight, electricity demand showed continued economic recovery, though manufacturing PMI declined slightly.
- The chief economic adviser indicated that double-digit GDP growth is possible in the current fiscal year based on trends and forecasts. However, a potential third COVID wave could impact the recovery.
- Eight core infrastructure sectors expanded
The document provides an economic and labor market outlook for 2017 and beyond. It finds that while global economic growth is expected to improve slightly to 2.8% in 2017, significant risks remain from political uncertainties. Unemployment is projected to continue declining as growth improves in most major regions. Specifically:
- North American markets have positive outlooks for 2017, while Brazil and Venezuela will struggle with deep recessions. Labor markets in western Europe are improving but face challenges like youth unemployment.
- APAC is expected to outpace other regions, with steady job creation lowering unemployment. However, economic activity may temper in China and India.
- Developing the potential of young workers is important for countries' long-term

- The major US stock indexes were volatile last week, rising sharply on Friday despite weak economic data on retail sales, industrial production, and consumer sentiment. This was possibly due to expectations that the Fed will delay raising rates.
- Eurozone GDP grew 1.6% in the first quarter, led by a surprise increase in France, while Greece and Finland contracted. Russia's GDP also fell less than expected.
- In the US, retail sales, industrial production, and consumer sentiment were weaker than expected, while the budget surplus grew and jobless claims remained low.
Cushman & Wakefield Residential Market Commentary - May 2017Lee Layton
The document provides an economic overview and analysis of the UK residential property market. It finds that:
1) GDP growth is expected to slow down and bottom out in 2018, while inflation is already increasing. Interest rates are expected to remain on hold until 2019.
2) House prices nationally have remained flat in recent months, with transaction volumes subdued. New home construction continues to trend upward.
3) Prime central London property values and rents have fallen slightly in the past year, with transaction volumes volatile due to political events. Outer prime London markets have also experienced minor falls.
Empirical investigation of government expenditure and revenue nexus; implicat...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between government expenditure and revenue in Nigeria from 1961 to 2010. It employed various econometric techniques, including unit root tests, cointegration tests, error correction models, and Granger causality tests. The results showed that government expenditure and revenue were not cointegrated and there was no long-run relationship between the two variables. The error correction models provided evidence of a divergence rather than convergence relationship. The Granger causality tests found no causality between expenditure and revenue. Overall, the findings supported the hypothesis of institutional separation, meaning the government's decisions around spending and revenue raising were independent of each other.
The document provides an advance estimate of real GDP growth for the third quarter of 2013 from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. It finds that real GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.8% in Q3, up from 2.5% in Q2. The growth was driven by increases in personal consumption, private inventory investment, exports, residential and nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending, while imports and federal government spending decreased. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the acceleration was primarily due to decreases in imports and increases in private inventory investment and state and local government spending, partially offset by decreases in exports, nonresidential fixed investment, and personal consumption.
Swiss Re sigma 3/2019: World insurance: the great pivot east continuesΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Global insurance premium volumes passed a new benchmark high of USD 5 trillion in 2018. Global life premium growth was weak, but there was solid performance in non-life in 2018.
The central narrative of this year's annual world insurance sigma is the continued rise of the emerging markets, mostly emerging Asia and China in particular, as the main drivers of industry growth. From 11% in 2018, China's share of global premiums will rise to 20% by 2029. China remains on course to become the world's biggest insurance market by mid-2030s. The whole of Asia-Pacific will account for 42% of the global premiums by 2029.
Swiss Re Institute forecasts close to 3% global premium growth in real terms per annum in 2019/20, against a slowing but still positive economic backdrop. Advanced market premiums will grow by 1.5%, and emerging markets by 7.9%. China will be the largest contributor, in both life and non-life. Overall, however, the advanced markets will still provide almost half of additional premiums in absolute terms in the next two years.
- REITs had a lackluster start to 2017, returning -0.6% in January and underperforming the S&P 500 by nearly 250 basis points.
- Fourth quarter earnings have been mixed and 2017 earnings guidance has been conservative as companies acknowledge uncertain economic outlook.
- Commercial property fundamentals remain solid and should exhibit operating income growth exceeding inflation in 2017, leading to positive earnings growth for REITs over the next few years.
2018 national and virginia economic forecast (31 january 2018) (final)rmcnab67
The document summarizes economic forecasts for the U.S. and Virginia economies in 2018. It predicts that:
1) The U.S. economy will grow at 3.0% in 2018 due to tax cuts and increased spending, while Virginia will grow faster than 2.0% but lag the national growth rate.
2) Unemployment rates will continue to decline in both the U.S. and Virginia, reaching 3.8% and 3.5% respectively by the end of 2018.
3) The forecasts also express concerns about rising federal deficits, high stock market valuations, and inflation, which could undermine growth by the second half of 2018 if the Federal Reserve rapidly increases interest rates
Life Settlement Industry Report
The dynamic nature of the life settlement market guided the creation of a comprehensive Life Settlement Industry Report. To present the landscape of the life settlement market as a whole, this report relies on growth data over the past four years as well as the increasingly competitive nature of the industry. A thorough discussion of the three types of risk associated with life settlements helps flesh out the portrait of the settlement market, and a summary of trends in the industry casts an eye toward the promising future of the industry.
Among the key findings in the industry report:
The growth of the life settlement industry has surpassed the predictions of forecasters. Whereas a 2016 Conning report projected an annual growth of 1 to 2 percent, the market has actually grown an average of 34 percent over the past few years.
With an aging population and lengthening life spans, retirement costs and the prohibitive price of long-term care necessitate options like the life settlement that can increase a senior’s disposable income.
Many people in their retirement years struggle with monthly expenses but hold wealth in non-liquid assets like a house, land, securities or a life insurance policy. When an insurance policy is no longer serving their needs, it can be converted into cash flow through a cash settlement to ease the retirement burden.

Retail Lives
Economic fundamentals continue to strengthen in the
U.S., a trend that is expected to endure through
mid-2019. With continued wage growth acceleration
and consumer confidence near an 18-year high, the
retail marketplace has registered solid spending.
Inflation-adjusted consumer expenditures show a
steady 2.5-3% year-over-year (YOY) growth pattern
since the beginning of 2016. eCommerce sales
accounted for approximately 11.5% of retail sales
(excluding auto sales) in 2017. While we expect that
penetration rate to climb to 14.0% by 2019, physical
stores remain vital to retailer survival in this evolving
retail climate. Despite what the media would lead you
to believe, the overall retail industry is still posting
gains even while it faces secular challenges.
Mercer Capital's Value Focus: Real Estate Industry | Q3 2017 | Segment Focus:...Mercer Capital
The document summarizes residential real estate market trends in the third quarter of 2017. Key points include:
- Housing inventory remains low, constraining the market and putting upward pressure on home prices. New and existing home sales saw growth in the third quarter.
- Homeownership rates increased slightly in the third quarter from the prior year. New home construction rose significantly in September.
- Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards but increased in 2017 following Fed rate hikes.
- Commercial real estate prices and REIT returns showed modest growth in the third quarter, with industrial REITs performing strongest. M&A activity in real estate was flat compared to prior quarters.
The document provides an overview and summary of capital markets insights from the summer of 2018. Some key points:
- Interest rates rose in the US as the Fed hiked rates again in June and signaled further hikes in 2018 and 2019. High yield bond issuance declined as a result.
- Demand remained strong for private middle market loans as investors sought higher yields. Leverage remained steady for senior loans but declined slightly for second lien/subordinated loans.
- Economic growth remained solid in the US, UK and Europe in the first half of 2018, though the BOE and ECB took a softer stance on future rate hikes compared to prior statements.
The 2019 Land Market Survey conducted by the REALTORS® Land Institute and National Association of REALTORS® found:
- Land dollar sales volume increased 2.2% on average from October 2018 to September 2019 compared to the prior year. Residential and recreational land saw the largest increases.
- Land prices per acre rose 2.1% on average in September 2019 compared to the previous year. Office/retail, residential, and industrial land saw the highest price increases.
- Respondents expect land sales to increase 2.2% and land prices to rise 1.6% over the next 12 months, with the strongest growth in residential, industrial, and irrigated agricultural land.

Building Products and Materials Industry Insights Summer 2018Duff & Phelps
Housing activity was up in the first half of 2018 but is beginning to show signs of a potential slowdown. Housing starts increased 7.8% in the first half compared to the previous year, while building permits grew 5.7%, but both declined in June from the previous month. Existing home sales fell for the third straight month in June due to high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and low supply. Home prices continue hitting record highs, with the national home price index up 6.5% year-over-year, as demand outstrips inventory in most major markets.

The economy in Romania grew more slowly in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. GDP growth was 4% year-over-year in Q1 2018, down from 6.7% in Q4 2017. The budget deficit also increased in Q1 2018 to 0.5% of GDP due to higher spending outpacing revenue growth. Inflation is expected to stabilize later in 2018 and end the year around 3.6% as the central bank has raised interest rates three times in 2018 to cool the economy. Lending to households remains strong while corporate lending has slowed with the moderating economy.
Manhattan closed sales increased 2% year-over-year in 2Q17, while contracts signed decreased 8%.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.
