  • Synopsis:

    • European equity markets closed mostly lower Friday, paring earlier gains. Stoxx Europe 600 ended down (0.2%), weighed down by energy sector. Meanwhile, US equites lower in Friday morning trading, also reversing earlier gains. S&P 500 now trading off of Thursday's fresh record close, though still pacing for modest gain for the week. US stocks initially rallied following weaker than expected August payrolls report (22K m/m increase vs consensus for 77K increase) and subsequent Treasury rally, with policy-sensitive 2Y yield lowest since April. Weaker report puts putting more rate cuts on the table, with market now pricing 16% chance of September 50 bp cut, 68 bp of cuts through December, up ~10 bp prior to report.

    • Oil prices lower for a third straight session ahead of the OPEC-8 meeting this Sunday where the group is reported to be considering another production increase. WTI (3.0%) to $61.57 (Oct), Brent (2.8%) to $65.16 (Nov). Saudi Arabia is pushing to further boost OPEC+ output to regain market share, though the plan may face resistance. Among European super sectors, Energy the main laggard down (1.9%). Banks (1.1%) another main laggard today, while Basic Resources and Real Estate outperformed. Gold reached fresh record highs above $3,640/oz.

    • Changing UK political dynamics in focus. Previous foreign secretary David Lammy is to become deputy prime minister and justice secretary, according to latest reports (Guardian, BBC ). Earlier, deputy PM Rayner resigned from all her government roles following an investigation by Sir Laurie Magnus, the PM's adviser on ministerial standards (London Times, FT, BBC). Magnus concluded that while Rayner "acted with integrity," she breached the ministerial code by failing to pay a £40K tax surcharge on her Hove second home. Magnus' report found that Rayner relied on legal advice but ignored warnings that specialist tax guidance was also required. Rayner accepted full responsibility. Press noted PM Starmer allowed Rayner to resign rather than sacking her, calling her a "trusted colleague" and "true friend," and praising her work on housebuilding, renters' rights and the employment rights bill. Lot of conjecture in UK press about who will replace her and impact on Autumn budget (London Times, Telegraph). In other reshuffles today, Home secretary Yvette Cooper has been shuffled over to the foreign office and will be replaced by Shabana Mahmood, according to the Guardian.

    • France will face slew of sovereign debt rating reviews after Monday's confidence vote, which is widely expected to result in collapse of Bayrou government (Reuters). Even in the unlikely scenario that government survives, analysts expect some fiscal slippage due to the concessions needed to retain power. Furthermore, the Socialists have been heavily tipped as the most likely party to lead if Bayrou is voted out, and it has proposed a modest fiscal package worth €22B compared with Bayrou's €44B of deficit cuts. Fitch is the first rating agency to review after the vote on 12-Sep followed by Moody's and S&P Global in October and November, respectively. While the immediate economic fallout is likely to be limited, the debt profile will worsen if politicians cannot agree on fiscal consolidation measures (Bloomberg). In addition, may be some repricing in French bonds as investors demand higher premium. Bund-OAT spread close to 80 bps, having widened from ~65 bps prior to Bayrou's decision to call vote. Contagion risk appears to be contained for now, but any protracted instability might see more selling and increase pressure on policymakers.

    • EU Technology sector in focus today with mixed newsflow. with Hexagon AB (HEXA.B.SS) surging after agreeing to sell its Design & Engineering unit to Cadence for €2.7B. ASML. (ASML.NA) gained on a UBS upgrade, while Nordic Semiconductor (NOD.NO) in focus after a NOK1.05B placement to strengthen its balance sheet. Spotlight also on news Trump threatening "very substantial" tariffs on chip makers which aren't shifting production to US. However chip stocks boosted by AVGO beating fiscal Q3 expectations. On a down note for the sector, Temenos (TEMN.SW) fell on CEO resignation but reconfirmed guidance.
