EUR Inflation Watch – It’s all about energy and food
- Hello everyone, and welcome back to our usual inflation outlook for the Euro Area inflation
- The format will – as always – be short and sweet with loads of charts so you will be well prepared for the upcoming inflation report.
- The HICP measure in Europe has already started turning deflationary in last month’s report for July (although typical in July due to NSA numbers), with Energy as the main driver on the back of falling Natural Gas prices.
M1 Nugget: European money growth = ouch!
- We track money growth notoriously at Steno Research and use the growth of money as a forward-looking guiding star for asset allocation.
- We just received the latest monthly money trends from Europe and they look outright abysmal.
- Money trends are now negative across M1, M2 and M3 on both a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis in Europe and trends are intensifying.
