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

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

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.

Eurozone Inflation Looks Encouraging, But Be Careful Interpreting The Data

In 2023, many EU sectors will see diminishing growth due to a weak economy. Manufacturing, staffing, and construction are likely to face a small decline though not all sectors will shrink.

Many European Sectors Will Suffer From A Weak Economy In 2023

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 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.

Eurozone: The Evidence Of A Downturn

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.
