Boost-Trade Idea-Eurozone equities: "It's the carry trade, stupid!" (3EUL)
October 29, 2013--Summary--The credit markets, more than equity fundamentals, drive the DJ EURO STOXX 50. Until the bulk of banks in Eurozone's weakest economies report Q3 earnings in mid-November, falling bond yields and narrowing spreads may set a precedent for momentum in Eurozone equities.
Eurozone banks remain over reliant on the profitable, virtually risk-free carry trade as a stagnant economy fails to reverse mounting bad debts and shrinking loan books.
ECB's bank test next year and Basel III are likely to compel many banks to bolster the trading book by buying government debt and hold on to the carry trade for as long as possible.
Given the financial sector's disproportionate share in Spain's and Italy's total equity capitalization, these stock markets stand to benefit from the healing of credit markets at home more than other European markets.

Troubled loans at Europe's banks double in value
October 29, 2013--European banks' non-performing loans have doubled in just four years to reach close to €1.2tn and are expected to keep rising, according to analysis that provides a disquieting backdrop to the region's forthcoming assessment of lenders' balance sheets.
A report by PwC found that non-performing loans (NPLs) rose from €514bn in 2008 to €1.187tn in 2012, with rises in the most recent year driven by deteriorating conditions in Spain, Ireland, Italy and Greece. It predicted further rises in the years ahead because of the "uncertain economic climate".
