$EUIRYY -Europe's Inflation Rate (October/2024)ECONOMICS:EUINTR 2% (October/2024) +0.3% source: EUROSTAT -Annual inflation in the Euro Area accelerated to 2% in October 2024, up from 1.7% in September which was the lowest level since April 2021, and slightly above forecasts of 1.9%, according to preliminary estimates. This year-end increase was largely expected due to base effects, as last year’s sharp declines in energy prices are no longer factored into annual rates. Inflation has now reached the European Central Bank’s target. In October, energy cost fell at a slower pace (-4.6% vs -6.1%) and prices rose faster for food, alcohol and tobacco (2.9% vs 2.4%) and non-energy industrial goods (0.5% vs 0.4%). On the other hand, services inflation steadied at 3.9%. Meanwhile, annual core inflation rate which excludes prices for energy, food, alcohol and tobacco was unchanged at 2.7%, the lowest since February 2022 but above forecasts of 2.6%. Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.3%, following a 0.1% fall in September.

$EUGDPQQ -Europe's GDP (Q3/2024) ECONOMICS:EUGDPQQ 0.4% Q3/2024 source: EUROSTAT - The Eurozone GDP expanded 0.4% on quarter in the three months to September 2024, the strongest growth rate in two years, following a 0.2% rise in Q2 and above forecasts of 0.2% The German economy expanded 0.2%, surprisingly avoiding a recession, after a downwardly revised 0.3% decline in Q2. GDP growth also quickened in France (0.4% vs 0.2% in Q2) and the Spanish economy remained robust (0.8% vs 0.8%). In addition, the Portuguese economy grew 0.2%, the same as in Q2 while the GDP in Ireland (2% vs -1%) and Austria (0.3% vs 0%) rebounded and grew faster in Lithuania (1.1% vs 0.3%). On the other hand, the Italian economy stalled, following a 0.2% rise in Q2 and Latvia remained in contraction (-0.4% vs -0.3%). Year-on-year, the Eurozone GDP expanded 0.9%, the best performance since the Q1 2023, compared to a 0.6% rise in the previous quarter and higher than forecasts of 0.8%.

$EUINTR -Europe Interest Rates ECONOMICS:EUINTR (October/2024) source: European Central Bank - The ECB lowered its three key interest rates by 25 bps in October 2024, as expected, following similar moves in September and June. The deposit facility, main refinancing operations, and marginal lending facility rates will now be 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively. This decision stems from an updated assessment of inflation, which shows disinflation progressing well. In September, inflation in the Eurozone fell below the ECB’s target of 2% for the first time in more than three years. While inflation is expected to rise in the short term, it should decline toward the 2% target in 2025. Wage growth remains high, but pressures are easing. The ECB remains committed to restrictive rates to ensure inflation reaches its medium-term goal, using a data-driven, flexible approach without committing to a specific rate path.

$EUIRYY -CPI (September/2024)ECONOMICS:EUIRYY (Eurozone Inflation Data; September/2024) source: EUROSTAT - Annual inflation rate in the Eurozone fell to 1.8% in September 2024, the lowest since April 2021, compared to 2.2% in August and forecasts of 1.9%, preliminary estimates showed. Inflation is now below the ECB target of 2%. Prices fell much more for energy (-6% vs -3%) and inflation slowed for services (4% vs 4.1%) while prices for food, alcohol and tobacco increased slightly more (2.4% vs 2.3%). Meanwhile, core inflation rate also eased to 2.7% from 2.8%. Among the bloc's largest economies, inflation slowed in Germany (1.8% vs 2%), France (1.5% vs 2.2%), Italy (0.8% vs 1.2%), Spain (1.7% vs 2.4%). The ECB expects inflation to rise again in the latter part of 2024, partly because previous sharp falls in energy prices will drop out of the annual rates. Inflation should then decline towards 2% over the second half of 2025.

What's unraveling the economic powerhouse of Europe?Once a stalwart of European stability, Germany's economic engine is facing unprecedented challenges. This deep dive explores the intricate factors driving its recession and the far-reaching implications for the continent. Geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions have wreaked havoc on Germany's economy. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, coupled with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, has disrupted energy supplies, increased production costs, and hindered global trade. Rising interest rates and weak global demand have further exacerbated the downturn. The European Central Bank's aggressive monetary tightening to combat inflation has made borrowing more expensive for businesses and consumers, dampening investment and spending. Meanwhile, a global economic slowdown, driven by factors such as rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and inflation, has reduced demand for German exports, a crucial driver of its economy. The consequences for Germany and Europe are profound, with potential for increased unemployment, slower growth, and political instability. As Germany is one of Europe's largest economies, its downturn has a ripple effect on other countries in the region. The recession could lead to job losses, as businesses cut costs to weather the storm, exacerbating social tensions and increasing the burden on government welfare systems. Slower growth in Germany will contribute to slower growth in the Eurozone as a whole, limiting the ECB's ability to raise interest rates further and potentially hindering its efforts to combat inflation. Economic downturns can often lead to political instability, as governments face increased pressure to implement policies that alleviate economic hardship. This could lead to political gridlock or even changes in government. Can Germany weather this storm? Join us as we delve into the complexities of this economic enigma and explore potential paths forward.

Rheinmetall opportunity of 25% upsideRheinmetall dipped today due to concerns of the European "far-right" (half of them centrists lmao) wanting peace with Russia in the future. This doesn't change anything for Rheinmetall though. Key facts: - Earnings grew by 21.8% over the 2023. - Earnings are forecast to grow 26.06% per year. - Revenue expected to grow 40% this year. - New deal with Continental Ag. to hire new employees to fulfill the demand. - Fair value estimated at 1100-1200 EUR per share. War scenarios: - A new conflict means growth of 5% + for each arms dealer as seen many times. - If the war in Ukraine continues, Rheinmetall gets more deals. - If the war ends, European countries will need to replenish ammunition storages, which is expected to take up to 10-15 years. Additionaly: - Both Trump and Kennedy Jr. expressed how European NATO members should start to fulfill their obligations of 2% GDP budget for army if they want the US to protect them. - Around 17-18 countries do not meet this obligation yet, most of them being customers of Rheinmetall already. - The total combined deficit of these countries sits around 44 billion USD as of 2024.

SHORT EURUSDEURUSD remains bearish on the daily timeframe and is currently in an ascending channel with a test at the upper channel, a failure to break above a major resistance area at 1.09-1.10 level, and a bearish daily engulfing candlestick pattern that would confirm its next movement. The first target is to the lower channel at area 1.07 and if it breaks, the next target will be to the major support zone at area 1.05 and a break below will confirm a movement to the lower of the descending channel at near parity levels.

Macro Monday 55 - European gateway to M.East & Russia Macro Monday 55 Turkey - Europe’s gateway to the Middle East and Russia Turkey holds a vital strategic position as the bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Turkey’s economy has been making leaps and bounds over the past decade and the war in Ukraine has resulted in significant increase in trade through the country, benefiting its logistic companies and economic status. As one of the main corridors from Europe to the Middle East and beyond, let’s see what this blossoming trade Centre can offer us. Russia’s Trade Enabler Turkey has become a crucial transit point for Russian goods, especially since the war. Its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia allows it to facilitate trade routes between all these regions. As a result, Russian produce has increasingly passed through Turkey, benefiting both countries economically, and indirectly benefitting Europe. In June 2023, Turkey’s exports to Russia increased by 23.9%, reaching $848.4 million—a substantial surge compared to the previous year’s figure of $684.9 million. Moreover, during the first half of the year (January to June), Turkey’s exports to Russia more than doubled, reaching $4.9 billion compared to last year’s $2.6 billion. Despite a decline in imports, Russia remains Turkey’s largest trading partner in terms of goods purchased. Russia’s favor to Turkey during the currency crisis, including postponing a natural gas debt and recognizing Turkey as a reliable gas route to Europe, has further strengthened their economic ties Robust GDP Growth Turkey’s GDP expanded by 4.5% in 2023, driven by strong private consumption, increased investment, and government spending. Additionally, in 2021, Turkey achieved an impressive 11% annual GDP growth, making it the fastest-growing economy globally for the 2021 year. For the 2024 year a GDP growth rate of between 2.9% and 4% is expected depending on the authority advising. Amazingly, according to Trading Economics, the GDP annual growth rate in the first quarter of 2024 was 5.7%, a significant acceleration from the previous quarter. On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the GDP rose by 2.4% in Q1. Demographics With a population of 85.8 million, Turkey has a sizable labor force and a young demographic profile. As of 2023, the median age of the Turkish population is 34 years, up from 28.3 in 2007. This youthful demographic profile contributes to productivity and economic dynamism. Produce and Exports Turkey’s top exports include refined petroleum oils, cars, jewelry, automotive parts, and trucks. Turkey has a complex and varied array of produce that contribute significantly to its versatile economy. Turkeys produce and exports are so diverse that they don’t appear to be a global leader in any one item, however In 2023, Turkey exported $12.3 billion worth of Refined Petroleum, making it the 24th largest exporter of this product globally. Refined Petroleum accounted for 12.1% of Turkeys total exports. Poverty Reduction Rapid economic growth has led to substantial poverty reduction. The poverty rate decreased from above 20% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2021. Investment Climate Turkey’s business-friendly environment attracts foreign direct investment (FDI). It offers incentives, a skilled workforce, and access to diverse markets. We can see that it has even bolstered relations with Russia and Europe during their conflict, being a go between, between the two. Tourism Tourism plays a crucial role, with Turkey being a popular destination for travelers and medical tourism. Turkey’s efforts to enhance its healthcare sector have positioned it as a prominent player in European medical tourism and now other continents are starting to travel here for affordable medical procedures. Resilience and Adaptation Despite challenges, Turkey continues to adapt to global economic shifts, such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, emphasizing sustainability and resilience.

Conflicted Euro Caught Between Hawkish Fed and Political IssuesThe Eurozone's currency, the Euro, finds itself in a precarious position, buffeted by two powerful forces: the tightening grip of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the ever-present political turmoil within the European Union. Navigating this treacherous landscape presents a significant challenge for investors and traders alike. The Fed Talks A Rising Tide Sinks All Boats The primary driver of the Euro's woes is the aggressive monetary policy shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In response to surging inflation, the Fed has embarked on a series of interest rate hikes, making the U.S. dollar a more attractive proposition for investors. Higher interest rates in the U.S. entice investors to park their funds in dollar-denominated assets, leading to a stronger dollar. This, in turn, weakens the Euro through a simple principle: currency exchange rates operate on a relative basis. A stronger dollar makes the Euro comparatively less valuable. The Fed's actions have a ripple effect across global financial markets. As the dollar strengthens, it attracts capital away from other currencies, including the Euro. This capital flight weakens the Euro's value and creates a vicious cycle. Additionally, a stronger dollar makes Eurozone exports more expensive on the global market, potentially dampening economic growth in the region. European Internal Divisions Weigh Heavy Adding to the Euro's woes are the ongoing political uncertainties within the European Union. The bloc faces several internal challenges, including: • The Rise of Euroscepticism: Populist movements that question the benefits of European integration are gaining traction in some member states. This creates uncertainty about the future of the Eurozone and discourages investors from committing to the Euro. • Disunity on Fiscal Policy: Member states often have differing government spending and taxation priorities. This can make it difficult for the European Central Bank (ECB), the Eurozone's central bank, to implement a cohesive monetary policy that benefits all members. • The Ukraine War: The ongoing war in Ukraine has added a layer of economic and political instability to the region. The war's impact on energy prices and supply chains further dampens the Eurozone's economic prospects. These internal divisions weaken the Euro's image as a stable and reliable currency. Investors are more likely to favor the dollar, which is seen as a safe haven during times of global uncertainty. Steering Clear of the Dollar's Influence: Alternative Strategies While the Euro's near-term outlook appears uncertain, traders looking to speculate on the currency should consider strategies that minimize the impact of the dollar's dominance. Here are some potential approaches: • Focus on Eurozone Fundamentals: Analyze the economic health of individual Eurozone member states. Look for countries with strong economic fundamentals, such as low unemployment and healthy trade surpluses. Currencies of these countries may outperform the Euro itself. • Play the Spread: Instead of directly trading the Euro against the dollar, consider trading it against other currencies within the Eurozone itself. This approach could benefit from internal economic disparities within the bloc. • Focus on Long-Term Trends: The Eurozone, despite its challenges, remains a large and economically powerful region. Long-term investors may choose to hold the Euro based on their belief in the region's eventual economic recovery and political stability. Conclusion: A Currency at a Crossroads The Euro's current predicament highlights the complex interplay between global economic forces and regional political realities. While the dollar's strength and internal European divisions pose significant challenges, opportunities still exist for investors who can navigate these volatile conditions. By focusing on Eurozone fundamentals, exploring alternative trading strategies, and considering long-term trends, traders can potentially find success even as the Euro is in a conflicted battle.

Euro Slumps on Populist Surge: A Trader's Guide to Uncertainty The European political landscape has just thrown a curveball at the financial markets. A recent poll indicating a rise in populist and eurosceptic parties has sent shockwaves through the system, triggering a significant drop in the euro. This newfound uncertainty presents both risks and opportunities for traders, demanding a strategic shift in approach. The poll results paint a picture of a fractured Europe, with anxieties swirling about the future unity and stability of the European Union. Investors, understandably jittery, have reacted swiftly by pulling back on euro-denominated assets. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the euro's value against other major currencies. The coming days and weeks are likely to be marked by continued volatility in the eurozone, creating a complex environment for traders to navigate. Adaptability is paramount in this climate. With the potential for further political escalation, the euro's depreciation could accelerate. In such a scenario, shorting the euro – essentially betting on its decline – could be a viable strategy. However, this is a tactic that requires meticulous planning and precise timing. Traders must carefully weigh the risks involved against the profit potential. To make informed decisions, staying abreast of developments is crucial. Closely monitoring the political climate and key economic indicators that could influence the euro is essential. Real-time news updates, expert analysis, and access to reliable data sources are your weapons of choice in these turbulent waters. Additionally, implementing robust risk management techniques will be your safety net, protecting your investments from unforeseen market swings. The current situation presents a unique opportunity for astute traders. By evaluating existing positions, considering the potential benefits of shorting the euro, and formulating a well-defined strategy, you can transform these challenges into opportunities. While the path ahead may be unclear, adopting the right approach can empower you to thrive in this volatile market. By following these steps and leveraging our resources, you can transform uncertainty into an advantage and emerge from this market turbulence a winner.
