  • Synopsis:

    • European equity markets ended lower. Italy +0.5% and Switzerland +0.4% were the only country benchmarks closing in positive territory. Sterling underperforms versus other G10 FX majors, down more than 1% versus the dollar and 0.7% lower versus the euro (Reuters, Bloomberg). Coincides with recent backup in bond yields and weakness in short-term growth indicators, which increases likelihood the government will not meet its fiscal rules (London Times, CityAM).

    • Recent attention on report that Trump is considering declaring national emergency as justification for new universal tariffs. Overall not much surprising in report (Trump has threatened this approach before) but reflective of market interest in evolving trade theme.

    • Focus also on central bank narrative. Little change in ECB rate cut expectations with increase in Eurozone inflation in line with ECB forecasts. 100 bps worth of easing priced in, which is supportive for European equity market outlook. In politics, Germany's conservatives hardening position on migration as it tries to combat threat of AfD ahead of February election.

    • From a macroeconomic calendar perspective, German factory orders and retail sales missed. November factory orders fell 5.4% versus consensus for 0.2% drop and came after the 1.5% fall in October. Destatis highlighted that main reason for negative development was the large incoming orders in vehicle construction in October, which did not materialize in November. French consumer confidence deteriorated in December, as expected. In addition, Eurozone economic sentiment data missed and PPI increased, as expected.

    • In corporate news, GRENKE (GLJ.GR) was trading higher following its trading update. Also in Germany, TeamViewer (TMV.GR) shares were notably higher on the back of company's preliminary earnings report. In France, Dassault Aviation (AM.FP), Vallourec (VK.FP), Exosens (EXENS.FP), Trigano (TRI.FP) and Pluxee (PLX.FP) updated investors. Out of the Nordics, Dustin Group (DUST.SS), Salmar (SALM.NO) and Clas Ohlson (CLAS.B.SS) released their most recent numbers. In the UK, Shell Plc (SHEL.LN) traded lower after it trimmed its liquefied natural gas production outlook for Q4. In other corporate developments, Galapagos (GLPG.NA) decided to separate into two publicly traded entities. Galp Energia (GALP.PL) CEO resigned. ABOUT YOU Holding (YOU.GR) Chairman decided to continue in his office as a member and Chairman of the Supervisory board for a transitional period also beyond 30-Apr-25. Of note, European defence stocks higher after Trump demands that NATO members spend 5% of GDP on defence.

    • On the speculation front, GSK Plc (GSK.LN) reportedly in talks to acquire biotech focused on rare tumor for $1B, FT reported.
