  • Synopsis:

    • European indices ended in negative territory, but off the session's lows. In geopolitics, on Saturday, President Trump announced eight European nations, including Denmark, France, Germany, and the UK, would face 10% tariff starting 1-Feb, escalating to 25% on 1-Jun, if Greenland not sold to the US. Following the threat, FT reported European leaders are considering €93B of tariffs or restricting US companies' access from the EU market. EU leaders have also called to pause approval of EU's trade deal with the US. French President Macron among those to call for EU to use anti-coercion instrument, which could include tariffs, new taxes on tech companies, target curbs on investment in the EU, and limit access to some parts of EU market. Trump said on Truth Social Tuesday he had a good call with NATO Secretary General Rutte, will meet with European leaders in Davos tomorrow. Politico also reported Trump's address on Wednesday will help determine European response. EU leaders also holding emergency summit Thursday. Also, President Trump has no plans to travel to Paris for an emergency G7 summit proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron, a White House official confirmed. Macron suggested the meeting via text, including invitations to Ukraine Report noted leaders hoping to bring down temperature, with some noting it's too early to threaten anti-coercion instrument. Deutsche Bank strategists also noted potential for European to leverage the $8T of US bonds and equities it owns, arguing weaponization of capital could be far more disruptive to markets than trade flows. In the afternoon, wires reported that Denmark's Akademikerpension news about the divestiture of its US Treasuries holding was rooted in poor US government finances and not directly related to ongoing rift between the US and Europe

    • In macro-news, the latest German ZEW economic sentiment indicator jumped in January to 59.6 versus consensus 50.0 and prior 45.8, though current conditions indicator still very weak at -72.7 versus forecast -76.0 and prior -81.0. Headline indicator recorded its strongest level since July 2021. Better German reading saw Eurozone indicator at 40.8 versus prior 33.7. ZEW highlighted that index is rising strongly and 2026 could mark a turning point. Assessment points to rapidly improving expectations after headline index gained for second consecutive month. Coincides with number of economists anticipating economic recovery in Germany this year. In the UK, BoE Governor Bailey warned of market spillovers from Trump's action in a testimony to UK lawmakers on financial stability. Said world economy lot more stable than it would have thought last spring, but geopolitical tensions and particularly trade issues have increased risks in the UK and around the world. In France, asset markets showed limited reaction to PM Lecornu's decision to invoke Article 49.3 of the Constitution, bypassing a full National Assembly vote to pass the stalled 2026 budget. OAT bonds exhibited no additional stress amid a broader global sell-off, with the 10Y OAT-Bund spread remaining constructive and reflecting priced-in reduced political risk. Government stability remains pivotal: while Lecornu secured enough backing-including Socialist non-censure-to likely survive forthcoming no-confidence motions (potentially three invocations for revenues, expenditures, and final reading), any collapse would introduce significant uncertainty, widening spreads and pressuring the euro. With passage now probable by mid-February, fiscal details include a credible 5% public deficit target for 2026 (improved from 2025 expectations at 5.2%), supported by extending the corporate tax surcharge on large firms (€8B revenue).
