The rally continues
It was a new session of gains at both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the US, amid expectations of cooling inflation after the drop in October’s production prices. Thus, in the Euro STOXX, Technology and Energy led gains, whereas Chemicals and Food posted the biggest drops. On the macro side, in the euro zone, the second reading of the 3Q’22 GDP confirmed the preliminary 2.1% YoY. In Germany, November’s ZEW expectations index recovered more than expected for the second consecutive month. In Spain, October’s final inflation confirmed the preliminary 7.3% YoY. In the US, D. Trump presented in the end his candidacy for 2024 elections. In the UK, September’s ILO unemployment rate climbed more than expected. In China, home prices dropped in October at the highest pace in the past 7 years. In Japan, machinery orders fell much more than expected in September. On the geopolitical front, the impact from a missile on the border of Poland and Ukraine is being investigated and Poland is studying the possibility of activating article 4 of NATO treaty. The initial analysis suggests that the missile did not come directly from Russia. In US 3Q’22 business results, Walmart came in worse than expected (although with the positive performance of inventories) and Home Depot better than expected.
