THE EUROZONE IS SLIPPING BACK INTO STAGFLATION…
- …THE ECB WILL FOCUS ON INFLATION WITH TWO RATE HIKES THIS YEAR
- The ECB held fire but clearly hinted at a rate hike in June, unless a miracle happens in the Middle East.
- Inflation in the EZ hit 3.0% in April and is on track for 3.5% in May, with the 2026 average at 3.0%.
- EZ GDP growth slowed in Q1, on the eve of the energy shock, and growth will stay subdued in Q2.
- We now see a relatively small rise in Eurozone HICP inflation in April, by 0.1pp, to 2.7%.
- Energy inflation climbed further in the EZ, but the core fell due to a temporary slide in services inflation.
- EC selling price expectations rose across the board in April, and recession probability remained low.
- ECB consumer inflation expectations jumped in March, to 3%, on a three-year basis.
- The ECB’s bank lending survey points to tightening credit standards and weakening loan demand.
- Markets are still pricing the path for the ECB, based on inflation, inflation expectations and the oil price.
In one line: In the footsteps of the PMI and IFO.
In one line: Stagflation is back, with a vengeance.
In one line: Downside risks are widening.
- A plunge in services PMIs warns that the growth in EZ consumers’ spending is now grinding to a halt.
- We cut our Q2 EZ GDP growth forecasts further, by 0.1pp to 0.1%, due to weakness in Germany.
- We still think the ECB will respond to the inflation shock by hiking, but markets are too hawkish.
- The EU allows national governments to subsidise energy costs for energy-intensive industries.
- But it has not yet given member states permission to forcefully respond to the looming energy shock.
- Efforts to reduce reliance on energy imports will help in the future, not so much during the current shock.
- Import growth likely peaked in late 2025; a slowdown will support GDP growth in 2026.
- The EZ nominal energy-import bill is now surging, but we think imports are falling in real terms.
- Low gas inventories point to upside risk to the volume of gas imports and prices.
