European Commission-Summer 2023 Economic Forecast: Easing growth momentum amid declining inflation and robust labour market

September 11, 2023--The European Commission has today presented the Summer 2023 Economic Forecast.
The EU economy continues to grow, albeit with reduced momentum. The forecast revises growth in the EU economy down to 0.8% in 2023, from 1% projected in the Spring Forecast, and 1.4% in 2024, from 1.7%.

It also revises growth in the euro area down to 0.8% in 2023 (from 1.1%) and 1.3% in 2024 (from 1.6%).

Inflation is expected to continue to decline over the forecast horizon. Harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) inflation is now projected to reach 6.5% in 2023 (compared to 6.7% in the spring) and 3.2% in 2024 (compared to 3.1%) in the EU. In the euro area, inflation is forecast to be 5.6% in 2023 (compared to 5.8%) and 2.9% in 2024 (compared to 2.8%).

A reduced growth momentum
Latest data confirm that economic activity in the EU was subdued in the first half of 2023 on the back of the formidable shocks that the EU has endured. Weakness in domestic demand, in particular consumption, shows that high and still increasing consumer prices for most goods and services are taking a heavier toll than expected in the Spring Forecast.

ECB-Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank

August 31, 2023-- Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 26-27 July 2023
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel noted that, since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 14-15 June 2023, the narrative in global financial markets had shifted from a "higher-for-longer" scenario for inflation to growing optimism on a disinflation scenario.

The increasing divergence of economic data between the euro area and the United States and the elevated sensitivity of euro area asset prices, especially to US data surprises, made the interpretation of market data challenging and could cause rapid shifts in market narratives.

Following the previous monetary policy meeting, central bank communication, high UK inflation releases and strong US economic data had initially driven the euro short-term rate (€STR) forward curve higher. This upward shift had then been partly reversed in the euro area in response to the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) on 12 July as well as lower than expected Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMIs) for the euro area.

Looking through this volatility, the latest €STR forward curve still stood above the levels observed before the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting. The market was pricing in one more 25 basis point rate hike at the present meeting, a 56% probability of an additional 25 basis point hike in September 2023 and a peak deposit facility rate of 3.94% by the end of the year.

The dangers of leveraged ETFs

August 31, 2023--The BoE is taking an interest
Most ETFs are big, broad, boring and cheap beta. But there's now probably close to $200bn in leveraged and inverse ETFs, and their market impact is growing.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs use derivatives and margin loans to either deliver extra juice to investors - say, three times the daily return of the underlying index-or the opposite of what the index does.
