A score of 50 indicates that economic activity is neither expanding nor contracting, above 50 indicates expansion. The colours range from red to yellow to green, where red is below 50, yellow is at 50 and green is above 50. Quarterly averages are shown, except the two most recent monthly data points. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Guide to the Markets - UK. Data as of 31 December 2019.

Core inflation Market-based inflation expectations% change year on year %, 5y5y inflation swap

Source: (Left) Bank of Japan, BLS, Eurostat, ONS, Refinitiv Datastream, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. CPI is the Consumer Price Index. Core inflation for the US is defined as CPI excluding food and energy. Core inflation for Japan is defined as CPI excluding fresh food and energy. Core inflation for the UK and the eurozone is defined as CPI less energy, food, alcohol and tobacco. Japan core CPI has been adjusted down by 2% from April 2014 to March 2015 to remove the estimated impact of the consumption tax hike over this period. (Right) Bloomberg, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. 5y5y inflation swap represents the market’s expectation of five-year average inflation, starting in five years’ time. Data for Japan starts in March 2007 due to data availability. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Guide to the Markets - UK. Data as of 31 December 2019.

This chart includes three measures of credit ranging from the narrowest – RMB bank lending – to the more extensive broad credit. Specifically, RMB bank lending is the sum of all loans made by the commercial banking system to domestic borrowers. Total social financing (TSF) is all funding to domestic borrowers that is not explicitly backed by the sovereign and thus includes bank lending, trust loans, entrusted loans, bankers’ acceptances, corporate bonds and equity financing by non-financial enterprises, asset-backed securities, loan write-offs and local government “special” bonds. Broad credit is total social financing plus all finance provided by local and central governments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results.
