$EUIRYY -Europe CPI (July/2025)ECONOMICS:EUIRYY July/2025 source: EUROSTAT - Eurozone consumer price inflation held steady at 2.0% year-on-year in July 2025, unchanged from June but slightly above market expectations of 1.9%, according to preliminary estimates. This marks the second consecutive month that inflation has aligned with the European Central Bank’s official target. A slowdown in services inflation (3.1% vs 3.3% in June) helped offset faster price increases in food, alcohol & tobacco (3.3% vs 3.1%) and non-energy industrial goods (0.8% vs 0.5%). Energy prices continued to decline, falling by 2.5% following a 2.6% drop in June. Meanwhile, core inflation—which excludes energy, food, alcohol, and tobacco—remained unchanged at 2.3%, its lowest level since January 2022.

FED: An unlikely rate cut in September, unless…The United States Federal Reserve (FED) unveiled this week a new monetary policy decision, maintaining the status quo on interest rates—hence no change in the federal funds rate since December 2024. This did not prevent the S&P 500 from hitting new all-time highs, driven by GAFAM financial results and even the top ten companies by market capitalization, which now represent 40% of the S&P 500 composition. Jerome Powell’s FED has not indicated any timing for the resumption of rate cuts due to high uncertainty over the impact of tariffs on core PCE inflation (the FED’s preferred inflation measure). 1) The probability of a rate cut on Wednesday, September 17 has dropped below 50% This week was extremely rich in fundamentals: Powell’s FED spoke, GAFAM released their earnings, PCE inflation was updated, trade agreements were signed, and the NFP report will be published this Friday. After Powell’s FED reaffirmed there is no urgency to resume rate cuts, the implied probability of a rate cut on September 17 fell below 50%. The consensus scenario—a September cut—is now questioned by new expectations from high finance and the 12 voting FOMC members. 2) Core PCE inflation, the FED’s favorite index, is no longer falling. The FED’s target is near but disinflation is paused just above it Is Powell justified in maintaining the status quo? Yes, in absolute terms: disinflation has paused due to tariffs. The chart shows the core PCE inflation curve has flattened. The FED’s target is near, but a further decline would be needed to justify rate cuts. Only concern over labor market health could raise the probability above 50%. 3) Tariffs emerging from recent trade agreements with key U.S. partners are likely to keep PCE inflation above the FED’s target (temporarily) As trade deals are finalized (China remains pending, deadline later in August), we can assess tariff impacts on core PCE. At this stage—with most deals involving tariffs of 15–20%—the impact on core PCE is estimated at 0.3%. This should keep PCE above the FED’s target early in the fall, but only temporarily, with no second inflation wave expected.

Still, two governors dissented in favor of a cut—the first such dual dissent since 1993. Policymakers observed that, fluctuations in net exports continue to influence the data, and recent indicators point to a moderation in economic activity during the first half of the year. The unemployment rate remains low, while Inflation somewhat elevated.

Latest on Fed rate cut debateThe Fed isn’t expected to cut rates this week, but this FOMC meeting should still be very interesting. Powell will need to address growing pressure from board members Waller and Bowman, who’ve both called for cuts, citing limited inflation impact from tariffs. Still, Powell is just one of 12 votes on the FOMC, and there’s little sign of broader support for a cut. With the labour market steady and early signs of tariff-driven inflation, the Fed has reason to hold. The rate decision is due Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Powell’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET. This decision will further widen the rift between the Fed and President Trump, whose frustration has grown in recent weeks, with renewed attacks on Powell’s leadership. The tension has drawn international attention. On Monday, the IMF issued a warning about political interference in central banks, which can pose a threat to global financial stability.

Third quarter and something we didn’t expectso I’ve been watching the markets for a while and honestly this new admin is doing something that many didn’t saw coming. it's not even a full year yet, we’re still on Q3, but the impact on the economy is starting to show. what really gets my attention is the tariff collection, it’s been really high and from what I see it’s even generating some kind of surplus in certain areas. at first I thought this was going to slow down the market or create pressure, but the opposite happened, the stock market has been hitting all time highs, especially in tech and defense sectors. inflation didn’t spike like people was saying, that calmed down many investors and the flow of money is pretty obvious. i’m not an expert or nothing but this first months looks like there’s a real direction and the money is moving in a positive way. still need to see how this year closes but if it stays like this, could be one of the strongest starts for a president in a long time. just wanted to share my thoughts, what you guys think?

The Bubble Many Traders Missed: Money Supply Up, Velocity Down**Most traders see rising money supply (M2) and assume asset prices will soar.** But they ignore the **Velocity of Money (M2V)**—and that’s where the real danger is hiding. --- ## **The Great Disconnect** * **Money Supply (M2):** Central banks have flooded markets with liquidity since 2008 and again during the pandemic. Asset prices (tech, crypto, real estate) inflated as this money piled into financial markets. * **Velocity (M2V):** Velocity has **collapsed to historic lows**, meaning money isn’t circulating in the real economy. It’s trapped in the hands of the wealthy and large institutions. --- ## **Why Velocity Matters** * **Velocity = How fast money moves through the economy.** A falling velocity means less economic activity and weaker fundamentals—even when money supply is high. * **Wealth Concentration:** Most of the new money never reaches average consumers. Instead, it fuels speculative bubbles (AI stocks, meme coins, luxury assets) rather than real growth. --- ## **The Dangerous Assumption** > “Money supply is up, so prices must keep rising.” > **False.** > Without velocity, rising M2 creates **fragile bubbles** that can collapse when sentiment shifts—just like 2000 and 2008. --- ## **What I’m Watching** * **Rising M2 + Falling M2V = A warning sign.** * **September 2025 could be a turning point.** Liquidity cracks or overextended bubbles may trigger a sharp unwind. * Traders who ignore velocity risk being blindsided.

$EUINTR - Europe Interest Rates (July/2025)ECONOMICS:EUINTR July/2025 source: European Central Bank - The ECB kept interest rates unchanged in July, effectively marking the end of its current easing cycle after eight cuts over the past year that brought borrowing costs to their lowest levels since November 2022. The main refinancing rate remains at 2.15%, while the deposit facility rate holds at 2.0%. Policymakers struck a wait-and-see stance, as they evaluate the impact of lingering trade uncertainty and the potential fallout from proposed US tariffs on economic growth and inflation. Inflation hit the ECB’s 2% target in June, adding to the case for a pause in policy adjustments. Speaking at the ECB press conference, President Lagarde said the central bank is “in a good place” but acknowledged the difficulty in assessing how tariffs will affect price outlooks, given the mix of both inflationary and disinflationary pressures. On the recent euro appreciation, Lagarde reiterated that the ECB does not target exchange rates directly but considers them when forecasting inflation.

Inflation vs. Growth : Is the Fed Behind or Ahead of the Curve?CME_MINI:NQ1! CME_MINI:ES1! CME_MINI:MNQ1! CME_MINI:MES1! CBOT:ZN1! Fed Policy recap: There is an interesting and unusual theme to keep an eye on this week. The Fed is in a ‘blackout period’ until the FOMC meeting- this is a customary quiet period ahead of an FOMC policy meeting. Fed Chair Powell is scheduled to give a public talk on Tuesday. Although his address will be focused on the capital framework of the large banks, this appearance will be closely watched for any subtle signals on the FOMC policy stance. Especially given that last week, Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller made a speech, “The Case for Cutting Now” with a purpose as he stated to explain why the FOMC should reduce rate by 25 bps at the July 30th, 2025 meeting. His stated reasons were: 1. Tariffs create one-off price level increases with transitory inflation effects, not sustained inflation momentum. 2. He argued that much of economic data points towards interest rates should be lowered to FOMC’s participants' median neutral rate, i.e, 3%. 3. His third stated reason notes that while the state of the labor market looks resilient on the surface, accounting for expected data revisions, private-sector payroll growth has peaked, with more data suggesting increased downside risks. His speech further explains: • Growth has decelerated sharply: Real GDP rose only ~1% annualized in 1H25, a significant slowdown from 2.8% in 2H24, and well below long-run potential. • Consumer spending is weakening, with real PCE growth falling to ~1%, and June retail sales showing soft underlying momentum. • Broader labor market indicators, including the Beige Book and JOLTS data, show declining labor demand and hiring caution, suggesting increasing downside risks to employment. • Inflation is slightly above target (PCE ~2.5%) but driven primarily by temporary, one-off tariff effects. Core inflation ex-tariffs is likely near 2%, and expectations remain anchored. • Current fed funds range (4.25%–4.50%) is well above neutral (3%), implying excessive restraint. • With inflation risks subdued and macro conditions deteriorating, a preemptive rate cut now provides optionality and avoids falling behind the curve if the slowdown deepens. Further cuts may be warranted if trends persist. • The tax bill contains pro-growth provisions, but its economic impact is expected to be minimal in 2025. Source: Federal Reserve Speech, The Case for Cutting Now Governor Waller Inflation Analysis: Let’s compare this with what we have previously mentioned regarding inflation. CPI index stood at 257.971 points in January 2020. Projecting this at a 2% Fed target, June 2025 inflation should be around 287.655 points. However, June 2025 inflation is currently at 322.56 index points, 12.2% higher above 2% the inflation trend. Effectively, this means annualized inflation since January 2020 is roughly 4.15%. The Fed is in a real dilemma whether cutting rates given the inflation trend in the last 5 years and risks to inflation outlook justify cutting rates. Key Questions to ask Markets are forward looking. Investors and participants want to know: • How will the rates impact the cost of debt service? Currently the third largest government expenditure, over $1.03 trillion. • Will the tariff rate offset the tax revenue losses by extending tax cuts? • Is the fiscal path sustainable? • What happens to the long end of the yield-curve? • Will the Fed monetize the debt issuance imbalance? • Is this simply Governor Waller positioning himself for the next appointment of Fed Chair when Fed Chair Powell’s term expires in May 2026? It seems there is a huge conflict between longer term implications vs quick short term fixes that align with US administration objectives. The Week ahead: It is a relatively light economic calendar in the US. Flash PMI readings and housing data on the docket. The primary focus as it has been for most weeks since President Trump took office, will be on the developments in trade policy and any further comments on Fed and Chair Powell. The threat of renewed tariffs starting August 1st, is also key to monitor and whether these protectionist measures will force US’s trading partners to make further concessions to negotiate trade deals. The earnings season is off to a good start with major US banks reporting higher EPS and revenue than expectations. This week investors will be looking at Q2 earnings reports from Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft from the Mag 7 and Tesla.

The main upward pressure came from transport prices, mostly motor fuel costs, airfares, rail fares and maintenance and repair of personal transport equipment. On the other hand, services inflation remained steady at 4.7%. Meanwhile, core inflation also accelerated, with the annual rate reaching 3.7%.

CME_MINI:MES1! Highlights this week include Chinese economic data points, UK CPI, US CPI, PPI, and Retail Sales. Inflation data is key, as it comes ahead of the Fed's meeting on July 30th, 2025. Market participants, including institutional investors and futures brokers like EdgeClear, will be scrutinizing these data points closely to monitor global growth and underlying inflation pressures. Fed speakers are scheduled throughout the week. With increasing calls for Fed Chair Powell voluntary resignation and impeachment, the US administration desiring lower rates, the Fed’s independence and credibility to carry out its dual mandate is at risk. It will be interesting to monitor who folds first. Last week’s FOMC minutes revealed a divided Fed on the interest rate outlook, affirming its June dot plot. On the fiscal policy front, we are already witnessing a shift in global trade policies, with many nations making concessions to negotiate trade deals with the world’s largest economy. In our analysis, the inflation impact of tariffs may not show up until Q4 2025 or early 2026, as tariff threats are mostly used as a lever to negotiate deals. While effective tariff rates have increased, as Trump reshapes how tariffs are viewed, cost pass-through to consumers will be limited in Q3 2025, as companies’ front-loaded inventory helps mitigate the risks of increased tariff exposure. So, what we have is an interesting development shaping up where, while inflation may rise and remain sticky, it is yet to be seen whether slowing consumer spending will weaken enough to the point where companies have to start offering discounts, which would nullify the tariff risk to the end consumer and result in companies absorbing all tariffs. This scenario will see reduced earnings margins leading into the last quarter and early 2026. However, it will materially reduce risks of higher inflation. In summary, the complex interplay between tariffs, inflation, and consumer behavior presents critical considerations for traders.

FED: less than 5% probability of a rate cut on July 301) The US labor market remains resilient according to the latest NFP report, which is good news for the macro-economic situation The US labor market demonstrated its resilience last week, making a rate cut by the FED on Wednesday July 30 unlikely: the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% of the labor force, after several months of stability around 4.2%. This drop in unemployment suggests that, despite two years of monetary tightening and current macro-economic uncertainties, the US economy continues to show resilience in its ability to create jobs. This is good news for economic growth, but it delays the FED's next rate cut. By clicking on the link below, you can reread our S&P 500 analysis proposed following the latest NFP report update last Thursday. 2) The probability of a rate cut on July 30 reduced to almost zero, barring any huge surprises between now and then on inflation, employment or trade diplomacy Up until now, most investors were expecting an earlier decision, as early as July 30, at the next meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee. But cautious communication from Fed officials tempered these expectations. Jerome Powell and several governors reiterated that they would wait for “sustainable” evidence of a return of inflation to the 2% target before committing themselves. The fall in the unemployment rate to 4.1% introduces a nuance: it confirms that the economy is not contracting sharply, allowing the Fed to wait a few more weeks without taking the risk of slowing growth more than necessary. At the same time, the latest consumer confidence indicators and manufacturing activity data suggest a gentle slowdown, closer to a controlled landing than a halt. Note that this week's Wednesday July 9 deadline for trade agreements will reveal more about the future impact of tariffs on inflation, and this will further alter the FED's monetary policy expectations. When these lines are written, the probability of a FED pivot on July 30 is less than 5%. 3) Here are the fundamental dates that will be decisive between now and the FED's monetary choice on Wednesday July 30 Wednesday July 9: the current deadline for trade diplomacy between the USA and its main trading partners. The final amount of tariffs will be decisive for US inflation expectations. Tuesday July 15: US CPI inflation , the last major US inflation figure to be updated before the FED's monetary policy decision on July 30. Initial and ongoing weekly US jobless claims are published on the Thursday of each week and will have an impact on the likelihood of the FED's action on July 30, but only marginally. Barring exceptional events, it is therefore unlikely that the FED will resume cutting the federal funds rate on July 30. The next PCE and NFP are due after the FED (July 31 and August 1) and will therefore have an impact on the FED's monetary policy decision on September 17.
