The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had declined in October, increased significantly in November. The Index now stands at 107.1 (1985=100), up from 100.8 in October. The Present Situation Index increased from 123.1 to 130.3, while the Expectations Index improved from 86.0 last month to 91.7.

"Consumer confidence improved in November after a moderate decline in October, and is once again at pre-recession levels," said Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board. (The Index stood at 111.9 in July 2007.) "A more favorable assessment of current conditions coupled with a more optimistic short-term outlook helped boost confidence. And while the majority of consumers were surveyed before the presidential election, it appears from the small sample of post-election responses that consumers' optimism was not impacted by the outcome. With the holiday season upon us, a more confident consumer should be welcome news for retailers."

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, surpassed the peak set in July 2006 as the housing boom topped out. The National index reported a 5.5% annual gain in September, up from 5.1% last month. The 10-City Composite posted a 4.3% annual increase, up from 4.2% the previous month.

The 20-City Composite reported a yearover-year gain of 5.1%, unchanged from August. Seattle, Portland, and Denver reported the highest year-over-year gains among the 20 cities over each of the last eight months. In September, Seattle led the way with an 11.0% year-over-year price increase, followed by Portland with 10.9%, and Denver with an 8.7% increase. 12 cities reported greater price increases in the year ending September 2016 versus the year ending August 2016.

Canada's current account deficit (on a seasonally adjusted basis) narrowed $0.7 billion in the third quarter to $18.3 billion, following three straight quarterly increases.

In the financial account (unadjusted for seasonal variation), strong foreign investment in Canadian corporate bonds led the inflow of funds in the quarter.

The deficit on international trade in goods narrowed $2.7 billion to $8.3 billion in the third quarter, following a record deficit of $11.1 billion in the second quarter. Exports outpaced imports as exports saw the highest growth since the first quarter of 2014.

otal exports of goods increased $5.9 billion to $130.1 billion in the third quarter. Energy products were the major contributor with exports up $2.3 billion on higher prices and volumes. In addition, exports of metal and non-metallic mineral products increased by $1.0 billion, mostly from higher prices. Consumer goods were up $0.7 billion on higher volumes, following a $1.6 billion reduction in the second quarter.

Real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the third quarter of 2016, according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 1.4 percent.

The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "advance" estimate issued last month. In the advance estimate, the increase in real GDP was 2.9 percent. With the second estimate for the third quarter, the general picture of economic growth remains the same; the increase in personal consumption expenditures was larger than previously estimated.

The harmonised index of consumer prices for Germany calculated for European purposes is expected to be up 0.7% year on year.However, it is not expected to change from October 2016. The final results for November 2016 will be released on 13 December 2016.

"We see asymmetric risks to the USD this week as the employment report (Friday) takes central stage. A number close to our expectation of 175k or even lower would keep the Fed on track as it is assumed that a deceleration in job creation is normal as the labour market is near full employment. On the other hand, a higher number (closer to 200k) would signal that the momentum is still strong, and that additional stimulus would probably lead the Fed to act faster, accelerating USD trend. We expect the unemployment rate to decline to 4.8% from 4.9%, average hourly earnings to rise 0.2% m/m and 2.8% y/y, and the average workweek to remain unchanged at 34.4 hours.

In addition, we expect the ISM manufacturing (Thursday) to remain soft and decreasing slightly from 51.9 to 51.5 as employment in the manufacturing sector remained weak through October.

Next Sunday's Italian referendum on Senate reform is an important event for markets this week but a "no" outcome appears largely priced in EURUSD, in our view. Polls suggest that most voters oppose PM Renzi's proposal and should that be realised, we expect him to step down. While recent EURUSD depreciation has largely been driven by USD strength, we think a portion of recent EUR weakness reflects a discount to various political risks over the coming year, including elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany. Given these residual risks we think any sustained EURUSD appreciation is unlikely. The reaction to a surprise "yes" vote is uncertain with, bi-modal implications: it simultaneously increases the likelihood of Prime Minister Renzi's reform agenda (if the PD, Mr. Renzi's party, wins the next election) and the likelihood of radical change and rejection of the euro if 5SM wins.

On the data front, November euro area headline/core inflation (Wednesday) is expected to remain unchanged at 0.5%/0.8%, while euro area final November manufacturing PMI (Thursday) is expected to be confirmed at 53.7".

The industrial confidence index dropped unexpectedly to -1.1 November from -0.6 points in October. The reading was forecast to rise to -0.5.

At the same time, the consumer sentiment indicator improved to -6.1, as initially estimated, from -8 in October. The increase in confidence was fueled by significantly brighter expectations regarding the future general economic situation and future unemployment.

After two months of sharp increases, the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) in November moved broadly sideways in the euro area (+0.1 points to 106.5) and edged up only slightly in the EU (+0.4 points to 107.3), the European Comision says.

UK broad money, M4ex, is defined as M4 excluding intermediate other financial corporations (OFCs). M4ex increased by £11.7 billion in October, compared to the average monthly increase of £14.5 billion over the previous six months.

Households' holdings of M4 increased by £5.0 billion in October, compared to the average monthly increase of £7.5 billion over the previous six months. The three-month annualised and twelve-month growth rates were 5.4% and 6.7% respectively. M4 lending to households increased by £4.2 billion in October, compared to the average monthly increase of £3.5 billion over the previous six months. The three-month annualised and twelve-month growth rates were 3.9% and 4.0% respectively.

Loans to financial and non-financial businesses decreased by £8.2 billion in October, compared to the average monthly increase of £2.3 billion over the previous six months. The decrease was mainly in loans to businesses in the financial services industry (£10.5 billion). The twelve-month growth rate was 1.0%.

The number of loan approvals for house purchase was 67,518 in October, compared to the average of 63,914 over the previous six months. The number of approvals for remortgaging was 43,513, compared to the average of 42,115 over the previous six months. The number of approvals for other purposes was 13,427, compared to the average of 12,726 over the previous six months

According to the flash estimate published by the INE, the annual inflation of the CPI in November 2016 is 0.7%.

This indicator provides a preview of the CPI that, if confirmed, would imply the maintenance of its annual change, given that in October this change was 0.7%. In this behavior, it is noteworthy the drop in the prices of fuels (gasoil and gasoline).

In turn, the annual change of the HICP flash estimate in November stands at 0.5%. If confirmed, the annual change of the HICP would remain the same as in the previous month.

"USD has entered its last leg within a secular bull market. We expect USD to be driven by widening rate and investment return differentials.

USD strength should be front-loaded against low-yielding currencies, particularly JPY and KRW.

Later in the cycle we see USD strength broadening out with the help of rising US real rates, specifically hitting high-yielding currencies. Higher real rates should eventually tighten financial conditions, increasing the headwinds for the US economy and marking the turning point for USD after 1Q18.
