Weekly Macro & Markets View

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.
