Positioning for May 2025
“The Globe”, Eurizon’s investment view. The baseline scenario sees the US administration’s decisions as the main focus theme.

Positioning for April 2025
“The Globe”, Eurizon’s view. The scenario combines a moderate expansion in the Eurozone with positive growth in the US. While the United States themselves now face the prospect of a slowdown due to their own tariffs, Europe and China are compensating with stronger fiscal policy measures. The main focus theme, and source of potential volatility, are still the economic policy decisions of the Trump administration Find out how Eurizon is positioned for April 2025 with Andrea Conti, Head of Macro Markets Analysis.

February 2023: Eurizon’s positioning
The Globe: February 2023. With inflation on the decline again in December in the US and in the Eurozone, focus is increasingly on the macro slowdown. Data are adding credibility to the hypothesis of a soft landing, rather than a sharp slowdown of the economy (hard landing). Reacceleration of the Chinese economy confirmed, on the other hand. Find out how we are positioned for February.

Eurizon’s positioning for the beginning of 2023
The Globe: Outlook for 2023. The new year should bring declining inflation and to a simultaneous slowdown in growth. Under the baseline scenario, the central banks are expected to complete their tightening cycles in the opening quarter of the year and then have a free hand in containing the slowdown of growth. As previously mentioned, in this context medium and long-term rates should stabilise, if not drop back. Easing pessimism could support stocks in the immediate term, but the recovery will in any case have to be validated by the resilience of the economic cycle.
