Claus Vistesen (Chief Eurozone Economist)
In one line: All set for a rebound into year-end.
In one line: All set for a rebound into year-end.
- We think a rebound in inflation will now close the window on further monetary policy easing.
- Risks are asymmetric, however; the ECB will either cut or hold in the next three-to-six months.
- A near-term downside surprise in core inflation and further euro strength will prompt doves to pounce.
In one line: Lifted by rebound in equities.
- Our fair-value model for bunds points to little near-term upside to yields, due to falling US rates.
- We estimate that fiscal stimulus in Germany will add around 30bp to bund yields between now and 2027.
- Overall, we see a slow rise in bund yields to 3% by 2027, implying limited near-term upside.
In one line: A cyclical low; a gentle rebound now lies ahead.
In one line: A further near-term rise is coming before a plunge in early 2026.
- Fiscal easing to reduce energy prices will lower German inflation by 0.4-to-0.5pp in January.
- Eurozone employment growth eased in Q2, continuing the downward trend since 2022…
- …Hiring is falling in manufacturing and agriculture, even as it holds up well in construction and services.
In one line: The ECB is happy at 2%, for now.
In one line: The ECB is happy at 2%, for now.
In one line: ECB doves need better persuasion skills.
In one line: ECB doves need better persuasion skills.
- The ECB stands pat, despite lowering its headline and core inflation forecast for 2027; why?
- A more balanced growth outlook and a relatively high neutral rate mean the ECB is happy, for now.
- Has the bar for easing been lifted or is the risk of a Q4 cut now higher? It could be both, actually.
In one line: Manufacturing on track to boost growth in Q3.
- A cyclical rise in tax revenues provides an incentive for political brinkmanship to continue in France.
- Industrial output signals upside risk to investment but how will consumers respond to falling incomes?
- Growth in France will drop to the bottom of the pile of the major four economies next year.
- The ECB will hold fire this week, as data has swung to the side of the hawks over the past few months.
- The confidence interval around a baseline of a stable deposit rate at 2% next year is widening.
- Rates will be stable or fall in the next six months; then the balance will shift towards no change or hikes.
In one line: Solid production numbers, but net trade in goods remain under pressure.
In one line: As we expected, but where was the Airbus-driven upward revision?
- EZ GDP rose in Q2 only because of an accumulation of inventories...
- ...Inventories are now set to crash, but the drag from net trade will be buffered by a fall in imports.
- We now look for continued, albeit still-weak, Eurozone GDP growth in the second half of the year.
In one line: Better; inflation pressures remain strong despite subdued activity.
