In pre-opening, European markets were trading bullish. The main event of the day is the meeting of the European Central Bank, although no significant development is expected after the announcements in December. The speech should confirm the markedly accommodative nature, thus reiterating that the reduction in the monthly amount of asset purchases announced in December is only an adjustment of the program and not the beginning of a gradual reduction of the volume of acquisitions to zero.

In the last few sessions, Dax has been penalized by the weakness of the automobile sector and the appreciation of the Euro against the Dollar (due to the strong weight that exporting companies have in the German index). From the technical point of view, several indicators point to an increasing likelihood of a short-term correction.

With the US market closed today, attention will be divided between the currency market, due to the depreciation of the Pound against the Dollar and the Euro in Asian markets, and some business news. Pound depreciated, with investors worried and awaiting the speech of Theresa May, scheduled for tomorrow, regarding more details on the Brexit plan. Over the weekend, the UK Finance Minister said that if the country does not maintain access to the single market, it will have to pursue a “new economic model”. On the other hand, the Italian debt market and the performance of the banking sector in ...

In an interview published yesterday by the Bild newspaper, German Central Bank President Jens Weidmann warned that for “measures planned by the Italian Government” to succeed, the institution must be “financially healthy in its core business.” He also said that public funds could not be used to cover in advance potential future bank losses.

The Justice Department has fined 7200 M.USD (6300 M. €) for Deutsche Bank for its conduct in the sale of mortgage-indexed assets before the financial crisis, a preliminary agreement that needs to be made official. According to the bank’s accounts published in September, the bank had a provision for legal costs of about 5500 M. €, which does not only involve this case. Analysts estimated that Deutsche Bank would pay a fine between 2000 M.USD and 5000 M.USD.

The American markets closed with contained losses, and the volume continued to suffer a decrease. The session was marked by the publication of macroeconomic data, which did not influence the trend of major indexes but provided investors and economists with useful information about the US economy. GDP growth relative to the third quarter of the year continues to be revised upwards. According to the Commerce Department, the US economy grew 3.50% in that period, surpassing the 3.20% calculated in November and the forecasts of 3.30%. Starts today the period that corresponds to the so-called San...

Despite all the financial media coverage of the Dow Jones’ 20,000 points, investors have been pausing in recent days, resulting in a period of consolidation. The year can be considered ended and can also be considered a good year. Faced with a series of unpredictable events, such as Brexit and Donald Trump’s victory, and how the year started (with a strong correction due to the devaluation of the Chinese currency) to achieve gains between 8% and 12%, 2016 was a particularly positive year. It is quite natural that investors choose to take a break, operating in the market just to position the...

Yesterday the main event of the day was the intervention of Janet Yellen at the University of Baltimore. The President of the Fed stated that the current phase of the labor market is the strongest in the last decade and that it is beginning to see an acceleration in wage growth. With a 4.70% unemployment rate and the economy running at full employment, it becomes increasingly difficult to find workers (especially for those jobs that require more skills), which forces employers to pay higher wages.

US markets closed without major fluctuations, with volume boosted by the maturity of futures and options. However, the news of the seizure of an American drone by China has led to a more defensive stance on the part of investors. This more prudent position translated into a purchase of state bonds, which simultaneously caused the yields to fall. The decline in state yields, which hit the highs this year, boosted interest-sensitive sectors such as real estate and utilities, which prevented major indexes from suffering further losses.

The overperformance of cyclical stocks in relation to more defensive stocks has peaked since the beginning of this Bull Market in 2009. One of the causes of the rally in European markets (in addition to the favorable influence of the American markets) has been the strong appreciation of the banking sector. Within this sector the protagonist has been the Italian banking sector which has shown remarkable resilience to a number of negative factors such as the outcome of the referendum and capital increases of Unicredit and Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

As expected, the Fed raised benchmark rates by 0.25% for the range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This decision had already been anticipated and investors’ attention therefore fell on individual projections for future interest rate increases. On average, Fed members anticipate three key rate hikes in 2017, two in 2018 and three in 2019.

In the pre-opening, the European indices have declined slightly. The banking sector will again be in focus. In the last two months, there has been a profound change in investor sentiment in this sector. At the end of the third quarter, given the uncertainties of Deutche Bank and the Italian banking system, there was a certain pessimism about the European banking sector. These factors were compounded by weak prospects for profitability as a result of the increasing and severe regulations, the low level of interest rates and the modest growth of the Euro Zone. As a result of all this, the exp...

Although investors are currently focused on the Italian political situation and on the economic prospects that the future Trump administration has created, China remains a relevant variable for the activity of several European companies. In the third quarter of this year, European companies saw a 6.10% drop in profits. However, most analysts estimate earnings growth in 2017 (between 6% and 14%). To this end, emerging markets are an important variable, accounting for 31% of their revenues (compared to 17% of their US counterparts).

Political developments in Italy will dominate the attention of investors. Yesterday, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella appointed Paolo Gentiloni as the future Prime Minister. To justify this choice are, among other arguments, the fact that he had a prominent position in the previous executive and of being a person with good relations with the different institutions of the European Union. This latter quality is particularly important considering that the first dossier that the new government will have to solve is the Monte dei Paschi di Siena issue. The solution through public ...

The American indexes closed higher once again, prolonging the denominated Trump Rally. Last week, this upward movement seems to have entered a new phase. In the weeks following the US presidential election, stock indexes were favored by the positive expectations which investors drew from the measures that the Trump administration is willing to introduce. But more recently, equity markets seem to have entered into more of a dynamic, driven by more intrinsic factors. In an initial phase the Trump Rally was received with surprise and later with skepticism. However, as US indexes hit new highs ...

Yesterday European stocks were boosted by the banking sector, notably Italian bonds. The Italian press has published a number of news reports concerning Monte dei Paschi di Siena. According to Reuters, citing an Italian source, the Italian State may acquire a stake of 2000 M. € in the capital of the oldest bank in the world. This news has not yet had an official confirmation. If confirmed, this transaction lowered the bank’s capital requirements to about 2000 M. €. The La Stampa newspaper said that the Italian State could use the European Stability Fund, calling for a plan to support its ba...
