Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve

The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.

Draghi's €800bn Call To Action: Instilling The Urgency That Europe Needs

Former ECB President Mario Draghi's 400 pages of economists' ‘greatest hits' and a few more controversial proposals provide Europe's most comprehensive plan yet to revive its economy, decarbonise and become more self-sufficient. Economic growth in Europe has been weak compared to the US and China for a long time, but the sense of urgency around economic reform outside of crises was lacking.

Eurozone Inflation Drops To 2.2% In August

The drop in eurozone inflation from 2.6 to 2.2% was mainly because of energy inflation but does confirm the view that the inflation environment is slowly getting more benign. The ECB has arrived on a long home straight when it comes to bringing inflation back to target.

Earnings growth for EZU's portfolio is expected to accelerate in 2025 and 2026, supported by lower inflation and favorable monetary policy in the Euro area.

Eurozone GDP Beats Expectations But Remains Weak Behind The Scenes

Eurozone GDP growth in the second quarter beat expectations and maintains the growth pace of 0.3% quarter-on-quarter seen in the first quarter. With unemployment low and inflation more benign, the economy is undoubtedly in a better situation than it was, for example, a year ago.

EZU: Opportunity On The Back Of ECB Rate Cuts

EZU (iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF) and FEZ (SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF) are two ETFs that provide exposure to European equities, but differ in their holdings. Recent ECB rate cuts make it a good time to evaluate these European offerings, as they've both performed well on a trailing 1-year basis. FEZ has slightly outperformed EZU over the last 5 years and exhibited marginally lower volatility. However, EZU's broader holdings may benefit ECB rate cut and a more "risk-on" environment.
