NEWS SUMMARY: BANKING SECTOR, SANTANDER, TALGO, TELEFÓNICA.Trump and the job market lead to another market selloff
The tariff rise approved by D. Trump to dozens of countries instead of lower tariffs as part of the negotiations under way and the slowdown signs of the US economy led to losses >-2.5% in European stock markets. Thus, in the STOXX 600 last week was marked by the earnings calendar and by Friday’s sell-off where energy was the only sector not ending in negative territory, whereas Autos and Basic Resources were the worst performers on the week. On the macro side, in the euro zone, July’s final manufacturing confirmed the preliminary data whereas July’s inflation remained at the previous month levels (above expectations). In the US, non-farm job creation came in far below expectations and the previous data was cut by more than 100,000 individuals whereas wage gains rose at a higher pace than expected in July, showing some exhaustion in the job market. On another note, June’s construction spending slowed down (worse), July’s manufacturing ISM fell expectedly (with sharp drops in the headings of orders and employment) and the July’s final University of Michigan consumer confidence was cut. OPEC+ agreed to raise oil production by 547,000 daily barrels in September amid growing concerns about the possible supply interruptions related to Russia. In US business results, Moderna beat expectations, Colgate-Palmolive, Linde, Exxon Mobil and Chevron were in line.
