Yesterday's Recap
German producer prices fell to 1.8% y/y from 2.2%, signalling continued cooling in factory gate costs. Equity benchmarks closed mixed with Euro Stoxx 50 off 0.06% at 6,227.40 and DAX down 0.34% at 24,830.98 while CAC 40 edged 0.02% higher. The German 10-year Bund yield dropped 2.51% to 2.97%, reflecting safe-haven demand and lower inflation expectations.
EUR/USD slipped 0.06% to 1.14 and EUR/GBP fell 0.08% to 0.85 amid thin trading. Gold rose 1.46% to 4,068.80 on geopolitical hedging while Brent crude declined 1.18% to 88.17. No ECB speakers appeared, leaving the 2.25% deposit rate path unchanged.
The Day Ahead
Attention turns to Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index, forecast to rise to 18 from 10.5, which could signal improving business optimism. Flash PMIs for Germany and France will follow, with manufacturing and services readings expected near 50.5 and 49 respectively, testing the breadth of the recovery. Spanish trade balance data and Dutch consumer confidence round out the calendar.
Any material beat or miss on German ZEW or PMI prints is likely to shift Bund yields and EUR crosses ahead of the weekend. Markets will also monitor Middle East headlines for energy-price spillovers into euro-area inflation.
Other Economic Notes
Eurozone inflation at 2.8% y/y and unemployment at 6.2% continue to support a gradual policy normalisation. German PPI softness adds evidence that cost pressures are abating across the bloc’s largest economy. French and Italian surveys remain consistent with modest expansion, while Spanish employment trends show resilience.
Broader fiscal discussions on the 2027-2034 MFF framework point to modest additional common debt issuance without immediate market impact. These developments keep the focus on data-dependent ECB decisions rather than abrupt shifts.
Global Macro News
Renewed Iran-related tensions lifted European gas prices toward four-year highs, threatening winter energy costs for euro-area households and firms. Softer Chinese demand signals weighed on Brent, indirectly supporting euro-area disinflation via lower import prices. Poland’s economy is projected to surpass the UK and France in size over the medium term, altering relative growth weights inside the EU.
