Another weak PMI for the eurozone confirms a sluggish economy with recession as a downside risk. Inflation pressures for services remain stubborn as wage pressures continue to be a concern.

Eurozone PMI Paints Worrisome Growth Picture

As the ECB has been putting increasing emphasis on the recent readings of underlying inflation, it is more important to look at the short-term dynamics than at the year-on-year figures. While some easing of inflationary tensions is indeed observable, it would be premature to exclude another rate hike.

The CPI for services spiked by 5.6% in July, compared to a year ago, up from 5.4% in June and 5.0% in May, another record in the data going back to 1997, according to Eurostat today. “Core” CPI (without food and energy products that consumers buy) remained at 5.5% in July, same as in June, and up from 5.3% in May.

The seasonally adjusted HCOB Flash Eurozone Composite PMI Output Index, based on approximately 85% of usual survey responses, dropped from 49.9 in June to 48.9 in July, its lowest since last November. The dearth of new orders meant backlogs of work fell at an increased rate as companies often relied on previously placed orders to support current operating levels.

Eurozone Flash PMI Signals Cooling Inflation Amid Rising Recession Risks

Higher interest rates soon would prevent more economic pain later. The European Central Bank could prevent inflation expectations from becoming unmoored and drifting upwards by continuing to raise its policy rate.

Europe Should Tighten Monetary Policy Further

The European Central Bank looks set to hike rates by 25bp on Thursday. With the bleak economic outlook and disinflation gaining traction, however, the end to rate hikes is near.

ECB Preview: The Final Countdown

The latest data show that eurozone growth is not picking up, with services now also losing steam. While it's not all downhill from here, subdued growth is the best we can hope for.

A Languishing Eurozone Economy

Industrial production growth in Europe has more or less stagnated since late 2020 as the speedy recovery that followed the first round of lockdowns came to a halt. At the same time, the sector is in an incredible state of flux; structural changes around energy and trade are providing substantial challenges for businesses.

Europe's Industry Outlook: We're Still Riding The Energy And Pandemic Shockwaves

Rising corporate profits account for almost half the increase in Europe's inflation over the past two years, as companies increased prices by more than spiking costs of imported energy. Europe's businesses have so far been shielded more than workers from the adverse cost shock.

Europe's Inflation Outlook Depends On How Corporate Profits Absorb Wage Gains

Eurozone business output growth came close to stalling in June, according to the latest HCOB flash PMI survey data produced by S&P Global, pointing to renewed weakness in the economy after the brief growth revival recorded in the spring. Backlogs of work fell at the steepest rate for seven months, reflecting the sustained (albeit moderating) output growth at a time of falling inflows of new work.

Eurozone Flash PMI Shows Inflation Pressures Cooling In June As Economic Upturn Fades

The European Central Bank raised its key rate by 25 basis points as expected, but startled investors with its outlook. The European Central Bank decisions last week were in line with market expectations.

UBS AG FI Enhanced Europe 50 ETN

The European Central Bank President, Christine Lagarde, is keeping the door wide open for more interest rate rises this summer. Lagarde has been explaining her decision to raise eurozone rates again by 25 basis points today.

Lagarde Pre-Announces Another ECB Rate Hike For July

Slowly but surely, the inflation outlook for the eurozone is improving. Headline inflation is normalising, but persistent core inflation is complicating things.

The Eurozone's Improving Inflation Outlook Could Leave The ECB Behind The Curve

A 25bp rate hike looks like a done deal for next week's European Central Bank meeting. However, with growth disappointing, the economic outlook getting gloomier and inflation dropping, arguments for several more rate hikes are becoming weaker.

For the first time in over a decade, labor unions have leverage - and fully intend to take advantage of it. Despite historically outsized wage settlements, real wages remain negative and are unlikely to be positive for some time.

UBS will receive substantial downside protection on acquired CS non-core assets of up to CHF25 billion. Credit Suisse remains active and should continue meeting its obligations until the merger closes, likely in the second quarter of 2023.

European Banks After Credit Suisse

Last week saw the eurozone's headline inflation for February decline to +8.5% YoY although core inflation (excluding food and energy) came in above expectations at +5.6% YoY. Food inflation remains the key driver of headline inflation (+15% YoY), in a large part due to fresh food.

Eurozone Inflation: A Downward Slope

HICP inflation fell for the fourth straight month in February. Energy inflation will plunge again in March.

Underlying Price Pressures To Extend ECB Rate-Hiking Cycle

We think improving euro area activity signals more rate hikes to come. We like short-term government bonds, high-quality credit and selected equity sectors.

Europe: Sticky Inflation Favors Income

Lower energy prices have boosted both business and consumer confidence. However, the better growth outlook will slow the decline in core inflation, pushing the ECB to act more forcefully.

Eurozone: Better Than Expected Doesn't Mean Good

Fully stocked warehouses, the higher cost of working capital and a gradual return of just-in-time management will likely weigh on inventory building in the coming months. That will be a modest headwind for economic growth in Europe in the first half of the year.

Inventory Overhang Will Be A Modest Headwind For Eurozone Growth

Overnight interest rates measure the cost at which market participants access short-term funding and are thus critical to the health of a given financial system. CME Group RepoFunds Rates and the European Central Bank's €STR are both important overnight interest rates for the eurozone.

4 Key Questions On European Overnight Rates

Economists expected the U.S. economy to have added 185,000 jobs last month, following the 223,000 added in December. Forecasts also had the unemployment rate increase from 3.5% to 3.6%.

European Region ETFs Reap The Benefits Of Domestic ETF Outflows

Many economic indicators point to a global slowdown. Unprecedented tailwinds in the form of free money and fiscal profligacy have turned into major headwinds. The Federal Reserve's recent Quantitative Tightening is having an effect that mirrors and reverses Quantitative Easing's wealth effect. Since QE ended, asset prices across the board are down dramatically. Even more than higher interest rates, the contraction of money supply has caused last year's asset deflation.

Time To Buy Europe

Headline inflation continues its fast decline and dropped to 8.5% in January, while core inflation remains stubbornly high at 5.2%. Lacking German inputs, these numbers are tricky to interpret, but for the ECB, high core inflation will be enough to hike by another 50bp tomorrow.
