    UK CAR PRODUCTION DECLINES IN NOVEMBER: SMMT

    UK car production declined in November, data released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, or SMMT, showed Wednesday.

    Car manufacturing decreased 1.4 percent annually to 106,243 units in November.

    Output for domestic markets dropped 10.4 percent, while that for exports gained marginally by 0.3 percent.

    The annual decline in production masks a particularly weak November 2019 when precautionary factory shutdowns in anticipation of a potential 'no deal' Brexit on October 31, depressed output.

    Year-to-date production was down -31.0 percent with 380,809 fewer cars manufactured in 2020. This puts the industry on course to produce fewer than a million cars this year for only the second time since the early eighties, the lobby noted.

    Around 85 percent of cars built in November were manufactured for exports, highlighting the critical importance of free and fair trade with global markets to UK car makers.

    Yet another decline for UK car production is of course concerning, but not nearly as concerning as the New Year nightmare facing the automotive industry if we do not get a Brexit deal that works for the sector, Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said.

    "With just nine days to go, the threat of 'no deal' is palpable and the sector, now also reeling from the latest coronavirus resurgence, Tier 4 showroom lockdowns and disruption at critical UK ports, needs more than ever the tariff-free trading arrangements on which our competitiveness is founded, Hawes added.

    The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 51.9 from 52.1 in November.

    The score was forecast to drop marginally to 52.0. However, a reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.

    SINGAPORE PRIVATE SECTOR CLIMBS INTO EXPANSION - MARKIT

    The private sector in Singapore moved into expansion territory in December, the latest survey from Markit Economics showed on Wednesday with a PMI score of 50.5.

    That's up from 46.7 in November, and it moves above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

    Individually, new orders increased for the first times since January with respondents mentioning stronger demand, a rise in e-commerce sales and promotional activity.

    New orders from oversea markets also rose, and at the strongest rate since November 2018. Subsequently, firms raised output during December, which rebounded from November's relatively solid contraction.

    OIL PRICES FALL ON DEMAND CONCERNS



    Oil prices edged lower on Monday as climbing coronavirus cases and tighter restrictions in Europe and China fueled worries over a slower recovery in fuel demand.

    Encouraging GDP and industrial production data from China helped to limit the downside to some extent.

    Brent crude for March delivery eased 0.2 percent to $54.98 a barrel, after having fallen 2.3 percent on Friday. Similarly, U.S. oil futures were down 0.1 percent at $52.36 after falling more than 2 percent in the previous session.

    The total number of global coronavirus cases topped 95 million, while the death toll surpassed 2 million.

    China reported more than 100 new Covid-19 cases for the sixth consecutive day, while the number of hospitalized Covid-19 patients with serious symptoms in Japan topped 970, marking a record high since the onset of the pandemic in the country.

    Portugal imposed a new nationwide lockdown while the U.K. government announced that it will close all travel corridors from today in order to restrict the spread of new coronavirus variant cases.

    New coronavirus infections have been decreasing in Germany but the country's health minister said that more needed to be done to bring it permanently under control.

    Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany's 16 state premiers will discuss what to do next on Tuesday.

    CHINA MANUFACTURING PMI EBBS IN JANUARY - CAIXIN

    The manufacturing sector in China continued to expand in January, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from Caixin showed on Monday with a seasonally adjusted PMI score of 51.5.

    That's down from 53.0, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

    Chinese goods producers signaled a sustained rise in output during January, to extend the current period of expansion to 11 months. That said, the rate of growth was the least marked since last April and modest. The slowdown coincided with a weaker increase in total new work at the start of the year.

    Data indicated this was partly driven by a renewed drop in export orders, which fell for the first time in six months. Survey respondents often cited the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus globally when explaining the reduction.

    Stock shortages at suppliers and shipping delays led to a further increase in delivery times for inputs. Furthermore, average vendor performance deteriorated at the steepest rate since last March.

    FITCH MAINTAINS JAPAN'S SOVEREIGN RATINGS

    Fitch Ratings maintained the sovereign ratings of Japan with a 'negative' outlook on Monday.

    The ratings were retained at 'A' citing the strengths of an advanced and wealthy economy, with correspondingly robust governance standards and public institutions.

    Fitch affirmed a 'negative' outlook on Japan's ratings, given continued downside risks to the macroeconomic and fiscal outlook from the coronavirus shock.

    The agency expects the large fiscal support to be unwound gradually, but downside risks to growth exacerbate the challenge of placing the debt ratio on a downward path over the medium term.

    After a 5.3 percent fall in 2020, Fitch forecast the economy to rebound by 3.5 percent in 2021 and 1.5 percent in 2022, supported by continued overseas demand for Japanese exports, which have recovered over recent months.

    Fitch estimated government debt to have jumped to 254.8 percent of GDP in 2020 from 231.2 percent in 2019, the highest pre-pandemic debt ratio among Fitch-rated sovereigns. The debt is forecast to peak at 258.6 percent in 2023.
