Key arguments

Eurozone inflation surge to 3.3% in August, driven by energy prices, likely seals an ECB rate hike.
Strong US payroll growth and elevated ISM readings increase odds of Fed rate hike in September.
Bank of Japan signals faster normalization, with a September hike as base case, leading to yen appreciation and higher JGB yields.
Services sector outperforms manufacturing in several European economies (Italy, Spain), while Germany shows solid activity data with contained inflation.
Energy commodities reach new highs: Brent above $97/bbl, diesel crack spreads record, LNG prices at multi-year peaks.
Global manufacturing remains resilient in ASEAN and parts of Europe, but China's housing market weakness persists.
