Yesterday's Recap
European equities showed mixed closes with no major data releases across the Eurozone on 24 August. The Euro Stoxx 50 ended at 6,447.98, down 0.22%, while the DAX advanced 0.59% to 26,136.56 and the CAC 40 slipped 0.37% to 8,453.01. EUR/USD fell 0.20% to 1.17 and EUR/GBP eased 0.02% to 0.86.
German 10Y Bund yields dropped sharply to 2.97%, reflecting reduced near-term rate hike expectations. Gold rose 1.25% to 4,699.00 while Brent Crude declined 0.72% to 91.51. Bitcoin gained 3.82% to 80,724.81 on risk-on flows unrelated to Eurozone fundamentals.
Eurozone unemployment stood at 6.30% in June, providing a stable labor backdrop that supports gradual disinflation.
The Day Ahead
France Consumer Confidence Index is due at 02:45 ET with consensus at 87, up from 86. Germany Ifo Business Climate Level follows at 04:00 ET, expected at 87.2 versus 86.6 prior. These releases will provide fresh readings on German and French business sentiment ahead of next week’s inflation prints.
Markets will watch for any divergence between the two economies given Germany’s industrial exposure and France’s services resilience. Later in the week, preliminary French and Spanish inflation figures plus German unemployment data will test the 2.90% Eurozone CPI baseline. Traders will also monitor any ECB speakers for signals on the 2.25% deposit rate path.
Other Economic Notes
Member states continue to diverge, with German industrial surveys lagging French and Spanish service indicators. Broader fiscal discussions in Brussels center on targeted green investment without expanding the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Corporate capex guidance from firms such as ASML remains cautious for 2027, weighing on German growth prospects.
These themes reinforce expectations that the ECB will maintain its 2.25% deposit rate while monitoring country-level inflation differentials. No major political statements moved markets yesterday.
