Lyxor-ETF Money Monitor-June 2018-ETF flows bounce back
June 14, 2018--European ETF market flows rebounded slightly in May. Net New Assets (NNA) rose to €1.1bn from the €668m we saw in April. Sentiment reversed again, with equity ETFs attracting most of the inflows (€1.5bn) and fixed income ETFs suffering their worst month since December 2016 (-€765m). Overall, flows remain strong but they are behind last year's record levels.
Equity ETFs enjoyed a significant rebound in May after their travails of April. US ETFs attracted just under €700m but global equities were the standout performers by far after they drew in just under €3.4bn-their best month ever. In contrast, Eurozone equities suffered outflows of €3.3bn after political and economic concerns mounted. Emerging markets also lost some of their lustre and recorded their first negative month since January last year (€-476m).

Monetary policy decisions
June 14, 2018--June 14, 2018--At today's meeting, which was held in Riga, the Governing Council of the ECB undertook a careful review of the progress towards a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation, also taking into account the latest Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections, measures of price and wage pressures, and uncertainties surrounding the inflation outlook.
Monetary policy decisions
Based on this review the Governing Council made the following decisions:
First, as regards non-standard monetary policy measures, the Governing Council will continue to make net purchases under the asset purchase programme (APP) at the current monthly pace of €30 billion until the end of September 2018. The Governing Council anticipates that, after September 2018, subject to incoming data confirming the Governing Council's medium-term inflation outlook, the monthly pace of the net asset purchases will be reduced to €15 billion until the end of December 2018 and that net purchases will then end.

The AMF publishes a study of macro stress tests for the markets and the asset management industry
June 13, 2018--Methodology, governance, data, modelling of interactions between supervised institutions: the Autorité des marché s financiers proposes a review of macro stress tests carried out by authorities in the field of asset management and possible ways to improve their development for the future.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the authorities' stress testing of supervised entities in the banking sector has been institutionalized. Such stress tests carried out at the level of a sector, a market or the entire financial system are of course of interest to market authorities. This is particularly the case in the field of asset management, whose ability to mitigate or amplify shocks throughout the financial sector is still being debated. It is for this reason that the AMF has chosen to study the exercises conducted to date in the field of asset management, with focus on the methodologies used.
