    Let’s not neglect European equities!

    Since the US presidential elections, US equities have been on an uptrend driven by a certain optimism, as the expectation of tax cuts and deregulation have fuelled the hope of accelerated corporate earnings growth.
  • Monthly Coffee Break, Equities

    Waiting for Trump 2.0

    European equity markets ended the last month of the year on a positive note. The positive market trend was mainly driven by rate cuts and slowing inflation over the course of 2024.
  • Equities

    A positive market response to the US elections results

    In November, European equities closed the month up. Excluding the UK, however, European equities fell marginally due to a combination of concerns about US trade policy and earnings warnings from the automotive and consumer goods sectors. Consumer weakness in China and within domestic markets was cited as the cause in both cases. A strong Financials performance supported UK equities (+2.5%).
  • Equities

    Positive outlook for US equities

    In October, European equities closed the month lower. European headline inflation was revised down to 1.7% year-on-year in September (from the preliminary 1.8%).
  • Equities

    The Fed's action rekindled the bullish momentum in all risky assets

    Despite weak macroeconomic data (notably from Germany), European equities remained broadly flat in September, thanks to the announcement of the stimulus plan in China. However, Europe has faced the highest outflows since March 2022, to the benefit of emerging markets.
