FMCI Update<br />

• Financial and monetary conditions<br />

tightened in most of the major advanced<br />

economies during July.<br />

• The slower pace of increase in equities (in<br />

% y/y terms) was one of the main drivers of the<br />

tightening of conditions over the month.<br />

• Among the major advanced economies, the<br />

US FMCI points to the loosest financial and<br />

monetary conditions and the Swedish FMCI, the<br />

tightest.<br />

• Meanwhile, in Asia, conditions loosened<br />

significantly in China. In <strong>India</strong>, conditions<br />

loosened slightly and in South Korea they<br />

remained broadly stable.<br />

Chart 1: US FMCI<br />

US<br />

• The US FMCI was unchanged during July,<br />

standing 2.5 standard deviations below the longterm<br />

average.<br />

• The depreciation relative to trend in the effective<br />

USD exchange rate and a narrowing in the Ted<br />

spread proxy was offset by a slower pace of<br />

increase in equities (in % y/y terms) and a<br />

narrowing in the 10-year/2-year spread.<br />

• At -2.5, the US FMCI remains at its all-time low<br />

and points to the loosest financial and monetary<br />

conditions among the G7 economies.<br />

Chart 2: Eurozone FMCI<br />

Eurozone<br />

• The eurozone index rose by 0.1 of a point during<br />

July, to stand in line with its long-term average.<br />

• The depreciation relative to trend in the effective<br />

EUR exchange rate was more than offset by a<br />

narrowing in the 10-year/2-year spread and a<br />

slower pace of increase in equities (in % y/y<br />

terms).<br />

• The eurozone FMCI now points to neutral<br />

financial and monetary conditions. At its current<br />

level, it is 1.4 points above its recent low in<br />

March 2010.<br />
