Positive stock markets await earnings and US data
Eurizon Weekly, 20.10.2025. In the US, the ongoing shutdown and the subsequent suspension of the publication of key macroeconomic data has led investors to focus on different areas. The revelation of fraud in the US car finance sector generated marginal volatility, which was immediately contained since it was not considered capable of affecting the entire consumer financial system, and also thanks to reassurances from the Fed, which confirmed a process of gradual monetary easing.
The Fed's accommodating stance and falling oil prices are supporting the global economy as we await a clearer picture. Let's take a closer look with Andrea Conti, Head of Macro Markets Analysis at Eurizon. Audio recorded on 20.10.2025

Tariffs back in the spotlight
Eurizon Weekly, 13.10.2025. During the week, markets remained relatively stable amid the US government shutdown, anticipation of the earnings season and the truce in the Middle East. However, this stability was disrupted on Friday, when the Trump administration renewed its threat to increase tariffs on China. However, statements from the US government over the weekend have sought to soften the tone, following a familiar pattern. In Europe, the issue of the formation of an executive to approve the budget law in France remains key. In-depth analysis with . Audio recorded on 13.10.2025.

The Fed resumes its rate cuts. US stocks still on the rise
Eurizon Weekly, 22.09.2025. The week was dominated by the Fed: the US central bank confirmed that, given the modest impact of the trade war on inflation and the slowdown in the labour market, it now considers it appropriate to resume the normalisation of short-term rates. The market expects rate cuts to continue, with a target of 3% during 2026 (Fed rates currently stand at 4.25%). Let's take a closer look with Andrea Conti, Head of Macro Markets Analysis at Eurizon.

Eurizon Weekly, 8 September 2025. US labour market data has again shown signs of a slowdown, leading investors to strengthen expectations that the Fed might resume cuts in September and then continue with cuts at a faster pace than previously estimated.

Modest profit-taking after a positive August
Eurizon Weekly, 02.09.2025. Global stock markets down slightly in a week that saw a renewed focus on political issues. Profit-taking, however, follows three extremely positive weeks in August, with stock markets reaching new highs due to expectations of a Fed rate cut in September. The stock markets also benefited from trade agreements signed by the USA with Japan and the EU, while macro data offered reassuring signs.

Profit-taking on the markets with tariffs and US labour figures
Eurizon Weekly, 04.08.2025. A week characterised by the announcement of new tariffs by the US administration against countries with which an agreement has not yet been reached, surprising markets that had expected a more constructive continuation of the negotiation phase. Positive US quarterly figures and US GDP data supported markets during the first part of the week. The weakening labour market, however, led to a drop in US government bond yields and consequently in the dollar, which interrupted the phase of rapid consolidation that had begun at the start of the week. Investors now expect the Fed to cut rates as early as September. We’ll take a deep dive with .

Prudent stock exchanges: tariffs still causing uncertainty
Eurizon Weekly, 14.07.2025. The attitude of the Trump administration, thanks to the good performance of the US economy and global financial markets, has returned to being more aggressive, but the reaction of the markets, even in the openings of the new week, has been essentially calm. The general idea is that, once again, the American shock tactics are aimed at accelerating an agreement rather than reigniting the trade conflict. This new phase of temporary uncertainty, however, has led investors to adopt a more cautious attitude. Tariffs, together with the corporate earnings season, have returned to the centre of market dynamics, pending formal agreements to be defined between countries.

Eurizon Weekly, 16.06.2025. The resurgence of tensions in the Middle East has slowed global equity markets, whose recovery had been experiencing a phase of consolidation, after partially overcoming the trade tariffs and the issue related to US tax reform. The Federal Reserve will have to take the geopolitical framework into account during its meeting on Wednesday 18 June, where the focus will be on inflation and labour market data.

Positive exchanges with US jobs and talks on tariffs
Eurizon Weekly, 09.06.2025. The balance is still positive for global stock exchanges, thanks to the continuing talks on trade tariffs and American macro-data that are, at least for the moment, easing fears of marked slowdown. These factors, together with the still robust labour market data, have also translated into a marginal increase in US government interest rate yields. European rates, on the other hand, are only slightly above previous levels. The ECB has again cut rates by 25 bps. Audio recorded on 9 June 2025.

Eurizon Weekly, 26.05.2025. The stock market was once again affected by the White House announcements on the subject of tariffs, but Trump's statements last week only partially rekindled the volatility, which was already decreasing at the start of this week. The effects that the evolution of tariffs and the US fiscal expansion plan will have on the monetary policy expectations of the Fed and other central banks remain one of the key issues for the market.

Slight rise for US and European rates as they grapple with the new potential scenario of expansionary fiscal policy in the two geographical areas. The dollar continues to recover.

Eurizon Weekly, 22 Apr. 2025. Last week volatility eased somewhat on news of potential negotiations on US trade tariffs, although no formal agreements have yet been reached, the White House’s change in approach has been welcomed by investors. However, the key factor for the future global macroeconomic picture is still the evolution of trade relations with China, the only country that has acted in strong retaliation of US tariffs.

Stock markets positive on macro data and geopolitics
Eurizon Weekly 17 Feb. 2025. The mix of still solid macro data, positive corporate earnings, and an improving geopolitical picture on the prospect of talks beginning to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, supported the markets: in the week, government bond yields were stable and stock indices rose back, with Europe still emerging as the top-performing market since the beginning of the year. Therefore, the macro picture seems to be supportive of ongoing growth, and data confirm that the US cycle is normalising, avoiding an excessive overheating for the time being. As regards monetary policy, the strengthening of inflation implies the Fed staying on hold, also in waiting for greater clarity on the Trump administration’s future policies.

Last week was a positive one overall: solid US macro data and the ability of technology sector companies to reassure investors with strong quarterly results, that helped reduce the volatility triggered by potential new developments on the low-cost AI front in China. The Fed and the ECB also lived up to expectations. However, focus is now on the new trade tariffs announced over the weekend by the Trump administration, and most importantly, on immigration control. On the macro front, with the US economy in good health, focus is back on the mix of labour market and inflation data, although the main source of volatility will be the United States’ trade policy.

Caution ruled on the government bond market, with US and European rates at levels in line with the previous week’s. The dollar weakened.

Eurizon Weekly 20 Jan. 2025. US inflation data, and core inflation in particular, restored confidence on the markets, that over the previous weeks had been pricing in concerns of an overheating of the US economy. In fact, in the course of the week, government bond yields dropped back down. The drop of yields, combined with the opening of the 4Q 2024 earnings season (with financial sector names reporting very solid results) boosted the stock markets. The future level of rates in light of the growth-inflation mix is still the markets’ main focus, as Trump takes office and officially begins his mandate as President.

Yields up and stock markets down on US labour data
US labour market data, that confirmed the good state of health and resilience of the US economy were at the heart of market dynamics last week. This triggered profit-taking on the US stock markets and pushed up US government bond yields, that priced in the increased likeliness of the Fed slowing its interest rate cut cycle. The future path of US rates, in light of the growth-inflation mix, remains the markets’ main concern: anticipation is high ahead of the inflation reading this week.

Investor focus is back on the central banks, as inflation slowed its downtrend and could be affected by the trade tariffs announced by Trump. In this context, government bond yields rose, albeit without compromising the bullish tone of the stock markets, supported by the macroeconomic picture and by expectations for the new Trump administration’s fiscal policy not to prove particularly aggressive.

In Europe, political uncertainty in France kept German rates stable at the previous week’s levels. However, the fall of the government and anticipation ahead of the appointment of a new prime minister have not generated excessive volatility. The stock markets also performed well in the week, with the S&P 500 index consolidating new all-time highs. Focus is now shift on central bank decisions over the next few weeks.

In the US, in fact, macroeconomic data confirmed once again that the consumption trend is in good health, as also the economy as a whole. In Europe, on the other hand, the ECB implemented a 25bps rate cut, as expected, acknowledging that there may be the risk of a faster-than-expected macro slowdown. This translated into little-changed US yields as opposed to European rates on the decline, in waiting for macro data to provide clearer indications for the central banks to gauge the appropriate pace of rate reduction.

This marks a recalibration of monetary policy, that does not anticipate a sequence of equally sharp cuts, but takes stock of the decline of inflation.

The interest rate market reacted in orderly fashion. On the other hand, uncertainty tied to the future US political agenda and the global crash of many IT systems on Friday, generated volatility on the stock markets.

The overall reduction of yields, and the possibility of the macro picture enabling the Fed to open the rate cut cycle, and the ECB to consolidate the accommodative policy already being implemented, was welcomed by the stock markets as well, although caution prevailed ahead of the opening of the quarterly earnings seasons.

Markets on the rise in waiting on US inflation
Eurizon Weekly 08.07.24 The mix of events of a political nature and of macro data was at the heart of market dynamics. In Europe, the elections in France and in the United Kingdom captured the attention of the markets, whereas US macro data were once again decisive in outlining the macro scenario on which the Fed will make its future decisions. In the UK, the elections went as expected, with a landslide victory for Labour, called to relaunch the country’s economy. In France, on the other hand, the elections failed to assign an absolute parliamentary majority to any of the parties, therefore a government coalition will have to be formed.
This week, focus will be on the US inflation reading, due out on Thursday, after the release of European inflation data in the past few days. Stefano Cucchi of Eurizon’s Macro Research & Product Specialist team takes a closer look. Audio recorded on 08 July 2024

Europe rocked by the elections, US driven by the Fed and data
Eurizon Weekly 17 June 2024. Last week was rife with both macroeconomic and political events. In Europe, the outcome of the elections to renew the European Parliament, while leaving potential majorities shielded from major upheavals, had important repercussions at the national levels. Considerable turbulences emerged in Europe, reflected both by the stock lists, that suffered losses in the week, and by spreads. On the other hand, government bonds performed well in the week, also thanks to lower than expected inflation in the United States, with US indices scoring gains.

Stock markets positive on ECB and US payrolls
Eurizon Weekly, 7 June 2024. Last week, important political and economic events took place. In Europe, the much-anticipated ECB meeting on the one hand confirmed investor expectations by implementing an initial policy rate cut, while the new inflation forecasts prompted a partial postponement of expectations for the ensuing path of rate reductions. Also in Europe, the elections to renew the European Parliament were held over the weekend. Although the count isn’t over yet, the outcome leans towards a likely confirmation of the current parliamentary majority, as already indicated by voting intention polls. In the US, on the other hand, May data confirmed the labour market’s good state of health, easing potential pressures on the Fed to proceed with a swifter than estimated rate cut cycle. Expectations in this sense will be revised on Wednesday, in light of the May inflation reading. Andrea Conti, Head of Eurizon’s Macro Research & Product Specialist team, takes a closer look.
