The collapse of Germany's traffic light coalition, following Chancellor Olaf Scholz's dismissal of Finance Minister Christian Lindner, has led to plans for a minority government until a confidence vote in January. Polls suggest the CDU/CSU could form a majority coalition with either the SPD or Greens, as the economy struggles with bureaucracy, energy policy unpredictability, and rising social security contributions. The political uncertainty is expected to hinder economic recovery and keep the euro weak against the dollar and Swiss franc.
Donald Trump is poised to win the US presidential election, likely securing a congressional majority, which may lead to corporate tax cuts and increased tariffs, particularly on Chinese imports. These changes could exacerbate inflation and challenge the Fed's planned interest rate cuts. Europe faces potential economic setbacks from lower US corporate taxes and reduced military support, particularly regarding Ukraine, necessitating a focus on domestic economic growth to remain competitive.
German industry experienced a surprising 4.2% rise in new orders in September, the highest since June, following a sharp decline in August. While domestic orders increased by 3.6% and foreign orders by 4.4%, economists express concern over potential challenges ahead, particularly with the looming election of Donald Trump, which could lead to import tariffs affecting German exports to the U.S.
The Dax index showed stability, rising 0.2% amid concerns over Donald Trump's potential return to the White House, which could lead to protectionist policies affecting European companies. Asian markets fluctuated, with Japan's Nikkei gaining 2.9%, driven by technology stocks, while investors awaited key political meetings in China. In Europe, shares of major car manufacturers fell due to fears of tariffs, despite some companies like Commerzbank and Fresenius reporting positive quarterly results.
The US unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent in October, with a slight increase in the number of unemployed to 7 million. Job creation was limited to around 12,000 new non-farm jobs, influenced by Hurricane Milton and a Boeing strike, yet the labor market remains robust despite these challenges. Economic indicators suggest no signs of a slowdown, even amid interest rate hikes.
German government bond prices remained stable after a slight decline, with the benchmark Euro-Bund futures down 0.03% to 131.46 points and a ten-year Bund yield at 2.41%. The rise in the eurozone's inflation rate to 2.0% in October, driven by falling energy prices, has not significantly impacted share prices, as prior data had already indicated this trend. Despite the inflation increase, expectations for a further interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in December remain strong, influenced by ongoing high wage demands from trade unions.
German government bond prices remained stable after a previous decline, with the benchmark Euro-Bund futures contract down 0.03% to 131.46 points. The yield on ten-year Bunds stands at 2.41%, as better-than-expected economic data and rising inflation in the eurozone have influenced demand. Despite a 2.0% increase in consumer prices in October, the European Central Bank is expected to proceed with a rate cut in December amid ongoing wage negotiations and high inflation risks.
German government bond prices remained stable after a slight decline, with the benchmark Euro-Bund futures contract down 0.03% to 131.46 points. The yield on ten-year Bunds stands at 2.41%, as better-than-expected economic data and rising inflation in the eurozone have influenced market dynamics. Chief economist Thomas Gitzel noted that high energy prices have contributed to the inflation increase, while upcoming wage negotiations pose additional risks; however, the European Central Bank is expected to implement a further interest rate cut in December.
Economists express caution regarding the unexpected 0.2% growth of the German economy in Q3, labeling it an "upward outlier." Despite slight growth driven by government and consumer spending, indicators suggest a challenging winter ahead, with stagnation expected in Q4 and a projected GDP decline of 0.2% for the year.
The US economy grew by 2.8% in the third quarter, driven by strong private consumption, which rose 3.7%. Despite the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, the economy shows no signs of weakness, leading to speculation on the necessity of significant rate cuts, even as rates are expected to remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.
