The ECB just announced its tenth consecutive policy rate hike since July last year, hiking all interest rates by 25bp. Higher inflation and inflation forecasts look like the main drivers of the hike.

ECB Announces Final Rate Hike

IEUR provides exposure to quality equities in Europe, with a diversified portfolio of over 1,000 holdings. Industrials, financials, and healthcare account for about half of the allocations in IEUR, with potential risks in industrials and financials due to industry pressures and interest rate hikes. While the European rate situation may converge with the US policy for FX benefits, the valuation of IEUR at almost a 14x P/E is not particularly compelling considering benchmarks.

Markets are torn. Will the ECB hike this week or not?

ECB Cheat Sheet: Is A Hike Hawkish Enough?

Inflation in the eurozone did not fall in August, which could tip the ECB in favour of a final 25bp hike at the governing council meeting in two weeks' time. Still, overall inflation dynamics remain relatively benign, and we still expect inflation to trend much lower at the end of the year.

Eurozone Inflation Stagnates Ahead Of ECB September Meeting

Eurozone business activity contracted at an accelerating pace in August, according to the latest flash PMI survey data. The overall rate of input cost inflation and selling prices remained indicative of consumer price inflation running at an annual rate of 3% in the coming months.

Eurozone Downturn Deepens According To Flash PMI But Inflation Pressures Tick Higher

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.

Chart of the Week: ETF Fit Matters More Than Cost

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 'Real' Dynamics Of Core Inflation In The Eurozone

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.

Surprisingly Hawkish ECB Forecasts Challenge Market

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.

IEUR is broadly diversified across European developed markets. The fund is surprisingly inexpensive, even on a volatility-adjusted basis, based on consensus earnings growth forecasts and a maturing return on equity.

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.
