Brent crude oil prices were flat vs. the previous month, at USD 69.6/bbl, after disruption fears eased. A subsequent OPEC+ decision has made little difference at the start of August. Our benchmark margin increased by USD 1.3/bbl in July, to USD 14.3/bbl, a significant increase, which takes it to the highest level since February 2024. Once again, the less said about petrochemicals margins, the better, in our view.

European bank stress tests show that most banks remain resilient in a more stressed environment. We find that only three banks could need additional capital in the adverse scenario as compared to the leverage-based requirements. While all banks could likely continue to meet their minimum SREP CET1 capital requirements, we find that nine banks could hit their MDA restrictions unless some of the capital buffer requirements were to be released in stress. LBBW, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale are...

We are resuming coverage of Romanian banks with an Outperform rating and a TP of RON 32.3 on Banca Transilvania (TLV) and a Neutral stance with a TP of RON 20.3 on BRD. We believe that current market prices largely factor in the downside risks of the upcoming fiscal consolidation package even beyond 2026. Despite BRD's increasing appetite for growth, we favour TLV due to its effective growth through its M&A strategy, higher long-term ROE potential and more attractive valuation metrics.
