Despite a huge energy shock in the economy, production has held up well. There are no miracles here, though.

Eurozone Industry Holds Up Better Than Expected In The Pandemic Aftermath

When the ECB meets next week, all eyes and ears will once again be on the communication. A rate hike of 50bp looks like a done deal.

ECB Preview: Still Licensed To Hike

One of the big stories late last fall was the abrupt about-face turn by the Chinese government on its zero-Covid policy. There is a connection of sorts tying together the newfound fondness for Chinese and European assets.

Euroscepticism

This report finds that tight labour markets ahead of a recession cause employment to fall less than normal. So, given that we expect a shallow recession in the eurozone, labour shortages are not going to disappear in all countries and sectors.

The European Central Bank's job is not yet finished. Far from it. Our view is that the ECB will phase out reinvestments of its Asset Purchase Programme portfolio throughout 2023 by gradually removing the reinvestment cap.

The ECB's Unfinished Business To Weigh On Markets

Slow out the gates, but the ECB is now hiking at a record pace. Are higher rates already having an impact?

ECB Monetary Transmission: One Size Currently Fits All

The imminent recessions we expect in the eurozone and European Union are forecast to be relatively short and sharp. Recessions in the eurozone industrial sector tend to be more frequent, and larger, than real GDP recessions.

Recessions In Europe: How Deep And How Long?

Quantitative tightening will come into sharper relief towards the end of the year. On the dovish side, the ECB noted that substantial progress in withdrawing monetary policy accommodation has now been made.

Germany reported the steepest economic contraction while growth in France merely stalled. Excluding pandemic lockdown months, the latest reading was the lowest since April 2013.

Germany Leads Steepening Eurozone Downturn In October

The final estimate of eurozone inflation has been adjusted down from 10% to 9.9%. When looking at the details, there's little to be optimistic about.

The Eurozone Flirts With Double-Digit Inflation

Looking at all the evidence available so far, it looks like the eurozone fell into a shallow recession in the third quarter. For the European Central Bank, this is unlikely to be enough to prompt an immediate dovish pivot given its determination to hike interest rates in the face of double-digit inflation.

Bond markets appear to be disciplining policy inconsistencies, both within sovereigns and among them. Policymaking can be inconsistent in two ways: within a sovereign, between the fiscal and monetary authorities, and among sovereigns.

The minutes of the ECB's September meeting delivered a couple of interesting insights. Though quantitative tightening currently looks unlikely, it will come eventually.

Is Quantitative Tightening Really Coming To The Eurozone?

The Eurozone economic downturn deepened in September, with business activity contracting for a third consecutive month, according to preliminary survey data.

Eurozone Downturn Deepens In September As Price Pressures Intensify

We think the energy crisis will spur a recession in Europe. The ECB is trying to fight inflation without recognizing the costs.

Energy Shock Spurs Europe's Recession

The S&P Global Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.6 in August, down from 49.8 and further beneath the 50.0 mark that separates growth from contraction. Weak demand and efforts to reduce high inventory levels are therefore combining to drive production lower in the months ahead.

Eurozone Manufacturing Downturn Set To Gather Pace As Inventories Accumulate At Record Pace

Unemployment fell from 6.7% to 6.6% in July. Employment expectations from businesses are dropping moderately and the economy is moving towards recession at the moment.

Eurozone Unemployment Dropped To New Low In July

High inflation and low unemployment will push up wage growth in 2022 and 2023. At the same time, labour productivity growth is expected to come down significantly.

Labor Costs Put Upward Pressure On Eurozone Inflation

The eurozone economy looks set to contract in Q3 as business activity slipped into decline in July and forward-looking indicators hint at worse to come in the months ahead. The seasonally adjusted S&P Global Eurozone PMI Composite Output Index fell from 52.0 in June to 49.4 in July, according to the 'flash' reading.

Eurozone Falls Into Contraction In July, Price Pressures Ease

The credit cocktail has changed after the European Central Bank announced a 50bp rate hike. Thus, we conclude credit is now looking more attractive due to lower rates and the value priced in.

Europe is facing the risk of an energy shock-driven recession and periphery stress. That's why we think the ECB will stop hiking earlier than the Fed.

ECB May Limit Hikes As Recession Nears

The market now has more than a 50% probability attached to a 100bp hike from the Fed in July. We think this is overdone, and we think the bond market agrees with us.

Rates Spark: It's The ECB That's Behind The Pace, Not The Fed

The EU – and the U.S., for that matter – are placing more energy sanctions on the Russian Federation, but it looks like they are self-defeating in nature. U.S. stocks have long ago traded below their March lows, but the initial DAX decline was much deeper and quite a bit more serious compared with anything we experienced in the U.S.

A Euro Deep Below Dollar Parity Is Now Likely

European debt ratios have barely budged since 2012. Some Eurozone countries, including Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain have spent the past decade deleveraging and their debt ratios have plunged.

The ECB And Mounting Eurozone Debt

The reason for the new concern over another euro crisis is clear: the ECB's announcement of normalising monetary policy; i.e., the end of negative interest rates, a potential further series of policy rate hikes and the end of net asset purchases.
