Fundamentals

United States

Monthly Budget Statement

The United States probably recorded a government budget deficit of USD 72.5 billion in November, according to market expectations, after a deficit of USD 121.7 billion during the previous month. The latter was a 34% increase compared to the same month last year. The largest budget deficit on record was registered in February 2012, or USD 231.677 billion. In October total receipts were at the amount of USD 213 billion, or a 7% increase compared to the same month a year earlier, while total outlays were recorded at USD 334 billion during the period, up 16%. The budget results were influenced by differences in the calendar and, if adjusted for timing-related transactions, the budget deficit in October would have been USD 84 billion, according to the report by the US Treasury.

A lesser-than-projected deficit would have a certain bullish effect on the greenback. The Financial Management Service, US Treasury is to publish the official figure at 19:00 GMT.

Gross Domestic Product

Turkish economy probably expanded at an annualized rate of 3% during the third quarter of the year, according to the median forecast by experts, after in Q2 the Gross Domestic Product grew at the slowest annual pace since Q4 2012, or 2.1%. Household consumption rose at an annual rate of 0.4% in Q2, slowing from a 3.2% expansion in the preceding quarter. Government expenditures grew at a slower 2.4%, after a 9.2% increase in the preceding quarter. The countrys exports rose at a more modest 5.5% in the second quarter of the year, while imports dropped 4.6%. In Q1 exports surged 11.1% year-on-year, while imports were up 0.7%.

In case Turkish economy registered a larger-than-projected expansion in the third quarter, the local currency would receive support. The Turkish Statistical Institute is to release the official GDP report at 8:00 GMT.
