Other Economic Notes
Germany and five other capitals demanded Brussels cut hundreds of billions from planned EU spending, highlighting fiscal tensions ahead of budget negotiations. The EU Commission reportedly ignored internal advice before easing 2035 car CO2 targets, a move that may affect industrial output in Germany and France. Broader euro area growth has shown resilience despite political shifts in major member states, yet French bonds continue to face pressure from domestic fiscal concerns.
These developments underscore ongoing divergence between northern and southern economies within the currency bloc.
Global Macro News
Higher energy prices have lifted euro area inflation risks according to ECB President Lagarde, complicating the path toward price stability. Lagarde has endorsed measured rate adjustments as inflation heads toward 4 percent. ↓ p.2
