What were the key global economic data releases, what is Zurich’s view and what does this mean for financial assets?
Weekly Macro and Markets View, Week 11
Highlights and View
- Germany’s incoming government
announces an enormous fiscal
stimulus package for infrastructure
and defence in excess of EUR 1tn
The announcement is historic and should significantly and persistently boost economic growth if fully delivered. -
US equities continue to fall as
policy uncertainty sends investors
looking for opportunities elsewhere
The start-stop nature of US tariff policies has pushed domestic stocks through critical support levels, with risks skewed to the downside. -
German bonds see the single
largest daily move since 1990, with
10yr yields rising by 30bps
The increase in yields reflects reasonable expectations of both higher economic growth and inflation, and could rise further.
