Europe's Post-Pandemic Economic Challenges

October 20, 2021--Getting fiscal policy right will be harder than dealing with inflation.
Europe has met the COVID-19 pandemic with audacity and imagination and is enjoying a strong but bumpy economic recovery. It now faces two policy challenges: controlling inflation and dialing back fiscal support.

While there is considerable uncertainty about inflation, central bankers have plenty of experience dealing with it and can deploy their tools quickly and flexibly. By contrast, unwinding the emergency spending measures governments undertook to support their economies is a major, complex endeavor. If policymakers get it wrong, they risk a repeat of the tepid growth that followed the global financial crisis of 2008.

Better sustainability data is still needed to accelerate the low-carbon transition in capital markets

October 18, 2021--Capital reallocation towards sustainable investments is viewed as essential to Europe's low-carbon transition. The European Union has already developed global standards with its taxonomy of sustainable activities and disclosure rules applying to financial market firms.

But data on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics of companies, which are used extensively in asset management, remain a source of much frustration, and are increasingly in the regulators' spotlight.

ESG quality means many things to many investors

ESG-focused investment has been a key trend in capital markets over the past two years. Outside the United States, the share of ESG-dedicated retail funds has jumped to 13% of total assets under management (though this share is only 1.5% within the US).

New WisdomTree ETF on Xetra: access to commodity basket ex agriculture with roll optimisation

October 11, 2021--Since Monday, a new exchange-traded fund issued by WisdomTree is tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The WisdomTree Enhanced Commodity ex-Agriculture UCITS ETF-USD Acc gives investors access to a broadly diversified commodity basket, which consists of futures contracts on energy. industrial and precious metals.

All three sectors are equally weighted at the time of quarterly rebalancing. Commodities from the agricultural sector are not considered.

If longer-dated futures contracts are more favourable than the contract currently expiring, the market is in backwardation.
