A wave of weaker-than-expected economic data both in the US and the euro area yielded a moderation in the expected path of policy interest rates which, in turn, pushed sovereign yields downs in both sides of the Atlantic. Stock indices edged up in the euro area and in emerging markets while closing mixed in the US.

Ricard Murillo nos ofrece una pequeña lección de política monetaria explicando en qué consiste el «tapering» o retirada progresiva de los estímulos monetarios por parte de los bancos centrales.

Investors kicked off a busy week of macro data releases and central bank decisions with a cautious approach, taking on board signs of lingering inflationary pressures across Europe as well as disappointing GDP figures in Germany(-0.2% q/q after +0.5% in Q3, ahead of the release of the eurozone aggregate this morning).

In yesterday’s session, investors traded cautiously, closing with mixed results in the US and in Europe. The lower-than-expected HICP inflation print in Germany (9.2% in January from 9.6%) pushed down yields on sovereign bonds in the euro area (despite the hawkish tone from some ECB officials) and allowed stock indices to increase.

Ricard Murillo Gili explica los detalles de la reciente revisión de las previsiones macroeconómicas de CaixaBank Research, publicadas en el Informe Mensual de febrero. En general, nuestras previsiones de crecimiento del PIB son ahora más optimistas gracias a la moderación de los precios energéticos y al factor arrastre de un tramo final de 2022 mejor de lo esperado, y pese a contemplarse una política monetaria más agresiva por parte de la Fed y el BCE. Las previsiones de inflación se han revisado al alza en la eurozona y EE. UU. y ligeramente a la baja en España, principalmente por la fuerte caída de los precios energéticos.

Nuestro economista Adrià Morron participó en un webinar para Accionistas CaixaBank en el que explicó en detalle cuáles son nuestras perspectivas de tipos de interés, en momento clave para la política monetaria del BCE y la Fed.

In a quiet session due to the President's Day holiday in the US, traders continued to weigh incoming economic data (eg consumer confidence in the eurozone rose to -19 from -20.7) with the hawkish tone from central bank officials. In this context, yields on sovereign bonds ticked up in the euro area, nearing year-to-date highs.

In the first session of the week, investors traded with a cautious mood amid hawkish rhetoric from regional Federal Reserve presidents and an upbeat revision of the euro area forecasts done by the European Commission. 

In yesterday’s session, investors continued to trade with caution amid intensifying political negotiations in the US to raise the debt ceiling and mixed economic data releases. In Europe, the May’s ZEW survey fell in the euro area and Germany, showing that investors’ sentiment remains gloomy.

In yesterday's session, weak PMI data for August, which signalled a slowdown in economic growth across the Atlantic, but most acutely in Europe, caused sovereign bond yields to fall across the board (around 13bps. for the long-term references). In the eurozone, PMI data for the services sector fell below the 50 threshold for the first time in 2023.

In yesterday's session, economic data releases continued to center the stage. In the US, Q2 GDP figures were revised downwards from 2.4% q/q SAAR to 2.1%, while, in the euro area, country members' inflation figures failed to prove a decisive trend towards the 2%. Euro area aggregate data will be released today.

In yesterday's session, euro area economic releases took center stage. Lower-than-expected October y/y inflation in Germany (3.0% vs 3.3% expected) and in Spain (3.5% vs 3.8% expected) pushed euro area sovereign yields down and the area's main stock indices up. 3Q German GDP growth came in at -0.1% vs -0.2% expected.
