Yesterday's Recap
European equities posted solid gains on 4 October with no scheduled data releases across member states. The Euro Stoxx 50 rose 1.02% to 6,238.50, the DAX climbed 1.17% to 25,231.20 and the CAC 40 advanced 0.79% to 7,897.19. EUR/USD fell 0.56% to 1.12, EUR/GBP slipped 0.65% to 0.85 and EUR/JPY declined 0.47% to 177.62.
The German 2-year Bund yield eased 2 bp to 3.28% while the 10-year yield rose 6 bp to 3.69%. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel stated German output could expand about 1% this year, roughly double earlier projections. French fiscal concerns weighed on the euro, with reports highlighting deepening bond-market stress and investor exits amid political impasse.
The Day Ahead
Spain’s S&P Global Services PMI is due at 03:15 ET with consensus at 57.1 versus 57.8 previously. Italy’s equivalent print follows at 03:45 ET. These flash readings will supply the first October services-sector signals for the two largest southern economies.
A downside surprise could pressure EUR crosses and support Bunds, while an upside beat would likely lift equities and peripheral spreads. No other high-impact Eurozone releases are scheduled for 5 October.
Other Economic Notes
Germany’s upgraded growth outlook reflects resilient domestic demand and export recovery despite earlier headwinds. France faces mounting pressure after unveiling a €54 billion cost-cutting budget for 2027 amid protests and rising borrowing costs that echo prior euro-area debt strains. Broader euro-area inflation reached 3.80% YoY at end-September, keeping the ECB on alert even as unemployment held at 6.40% in August.
Energy prices remain the dominant inflation driver across the currency union.
Global Macro News
Brent crude declined 0.56% to 101.68, easing imported inflation risks for euro-area importers. Gold held near 4,161.20 while Bitcoin rose 0.90% to 85,525.78, reflecting risk-on sentiment outside traditional assets. US disappointment over G20 lack of consensus on overproduction added to global commodity volatility.
