Polish equity market closed flat on Tuesday. The broad market measure, the WIG Index, edged down 0.07%. Sector performance within the WIG Index was mixed. Materials (-3.26%) fell the most, while food sector (+1.39%) fared the best.
The large-cap stocks' measure, the WIG30 Index, inched down 0.03%. In the index basket, coking coal miner JSW (WSE: JSW) topped the decliners' list, tumbling by 7.52%. It was reported that the company's shareholders decided to announce break in proceedings of EGM until December 1. The shareholders were supposed to vote on the transfer of JSW's troubled mine Krupinski to state restructuring company SRK, which will wind it down. Among other major laggards were chemical producer GRUPA AZOTY (WSE: ATT), bank MILLENNIUM (WSE: MIL) and copper producer KGHM (WSE: KGH), plunging by 3.1%, 2.86% and 1.82% respectively.

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 afternoon data on GDP growth in the US were better than expected, although Wall Street reacted to it carefully. The first transactions show rather stabilizing after yesterday's fall than rise.
The Warsaw market, which reacted by weakening of the WIG20 to this data returned to the levels observed before 14:30. The level of turnover remained stable, which may mean that today's session will confirm the consolidation.
One hour before the close of trading on the Warsaw market, the WIG20 index was at the level 1,774 points (- 0.10%).
U.S. stock-index futures were little changed as investors assessed revised data on the U.S. GDP for the third quarter and awaited tomorrow's crucial oil talks of OPEC members in Vienna.

The morning trading phase has not brought major changes in the Warsaw market. Low volatility suggests that markets are waiting to enter the game by Americans and data from the US. At the halfway point of today's session, the WIG 20 index was at the level of 1,780 points (+ 0.24%). The turnover in the segment of the largest companies was amounted to PLN 230 million.
"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".

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.
