European equities advanced on Monday with the Euro Stoxx 50 closing at 6,485.67, up 0.95%, the DAX at 26,569.99, up 0.77%, and the CAC 40 at 8,401.18, up 0.98%. The German 10Y Bund yield dropped 2.51% to 2.97% as markets positioned ahead of inflation releases. EUR/USD fell 0.57% to 1.16 while EUR/GBP eased 0.01% to 0.86 and EUR/JPY edged 0.03% higher to 185.65.
Brent crude climbed 1.55% to 90.69 and gold rose 0.31% to 4,491.90. No Eurozone data releases occurred on 30 August, leaving focus on positioning for German and Italian inflation prints. Bank lending growth across the euro area accelerated in July per recent reports, supporting risk appetite despite French growth concerns.
The Day Ahead
German August inflation rate year-over-year preliminary is scheduled for release at 04:00 ET with consensus at 2.9% versus 2.8% prior. German retail sales month-over-month follow at 22:00 ET with expectations at 0.4% after -1.1% previously. Spanish and Italian S&P Global manufacturing PMI readings are due overnight, with Italian unemployment and preliminary inflation also on tap.
Dutch inflation year-over-year preliminary prints at 20:30 ET. These releases will shape expectations for ECB policy through September. Markets will monitor any surprises in core components across Germany, Italy and Spain.
Other Economic Notes
French inflation rose to 2.7% in August, exceeding forecasts and driven by energy costs, while Spanish inflation surged beyond 4%. Eurozone bank lending growth accelerated in July despite uncertainty, signaling resilient credit demand in Germany and the Netherlands. Broader sentiment indicators beat expectations in August, hinting at underlying resilience even as French GDP stagnated in Q2.
Energy price surges continue to lift headline readings in France and Spain, complicating the path toward the 2.90% Eurozone CPI target. These divergences highlight uneven inflation dynamics across member states.
