Yesterday's Recap
European equities advanced on 13 September with the Euro Stoxx 50 closing at 6,325.13, up 0.90%. The DAX gained 0.82% to 25,568.56 and the CAC 40 added 0.78% to 8,179.77. The euro weakened, with EUR/USD falling 0.37% to 1.16, EUR/GBP dropping 0.32% to 0.86 and EUR/JPY declining 0.67% to 178.14.
Brent crude rose 2.28% to 107.00 while the German 10-year Bund yield fell 2.51% to 2.97%. No Eurozone data releases occurred across Germany, France, Italy, Spain or the Netherlands. France halved its growth forecast and stated the budget deficit will exceed 5%, prompting the Banque de France governor to flag elevated fiscal risks amid lagging economic performance.
The Day Ahead
Germany releases wholesale prices month-over-month at 22:00 ET with consensus at 0.1% after 0.2% prior, alongside year-over-year figures. Italy publishes its trade balance at 00:00 ET on 15 September, expected at €4.77 billion versus €4.232 billion previously. Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index follows at 01:00 ET, with consensus at 37 after 34.2.
The high-impact ZEW print is likely to influence Bund yields and euro crosses if it deviates materially. Medium-impact wholesale prices and Italian trade data may affect rate-sensitive assets on surprises. No ECB speeches or minutes are scheduled.
Other Economic Notes
France’s downward growth revision and admission of a deficit overshoot above 5% intensify pressure on fiscal consolidation plans targeting €30 billion in savings. The Banque de France governor described debt cancellation proposals as illegal, dangerous and equivalent to exiting the euro area. In Germany, the UAE president concluded a state visit that produced roughly 30 bilateral deals, including energy projects potentially unlocking over €5 billion in gas, wind and technology cooperation.
These developments underscore divergent fiscal trajectories within the currency bloc while external partnerships support German industrial investment.
Global Macro News
