The latest data from the Conference Board came to back the mounting concerns among Americans regarding the future of the economy and inflation. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the German data tells the exact opposite: business optimism in Germany hit the highest levels since last summer as the massive government spending that the German government agreed to unlock brings hope across manufacturers. As such, the convergence in sentiment between the two continents continues to develop, be confirmed by data and back the rotation trade. But the European spending narrative is now widely priced in. Therefore the European...

The week started on quite a positive note on hope that the next wave of US tariffs – expected to hit the ground on April 2nd - would be more targeted and more measured than previously thought. But Trump still threatened to impose 25% levies on countries that buy oil from Venezuela.
Crude oil, US equities and the US dollar gained, treasuries and gold sold off while European and Chinese indices posted small losses. Overall, Monday saw a correction of the rotation trade that hit the US equities and boosted the European and Chinese equivalents so far this year. Whether...

US equities saw a precious support from the Federal Reserve (Fed) last week, as policymakers decided to downplay the impact of tariffs on inflation by saying that it would be ‘transitory’ and slowed the pace of QT. US equities rebounded and the dollar recovered.

The rapid loss of appetite hints that there is a stronger case for a further selloff in US stocks than a sustainable rebound.
Capital flows toward the European equities were the major...

US markets breathed a sigh a relief following the Federal Reserve (Fed) decision. The Fed kept its policy rate unchanged as expected, cut the growth forecast and lifted its inflation outlook quite notably but Chair Jerome Powell stressed out that the potential impact of tariffs on inflation would be ‘transitory’ – implying that the Fed could continue to ease policy to support growth. And more importantly, the Fed decided to reduce the pace of Quantitative Tightening (QT) – a move that eases the tightening of the financial conditions.
The US equities, bonds and the dollar rebounded.
Today, the Bank of...
