AND WE'RE BACK! Last week, global equity markets rose, supported by some positive economic data. European equities rallied to new historical highs. This positive backdrop offset disappointing earnings news from AI bellwether Nvidia. European equity markets rose last week, supported by healthy activity data and falling inflation in the Eurozone. The Stoxx 600 rallied by around 1.4% to a new historical high. US stocks were weighed down somewhat by Nvidia's earnings news, but positive economic data helped push the S&P 500 higher by 0.3% over the week. Nvidia’s Q2 earnings were a key focus last week. Despite strong revenue and profit growth, disappointing news around profit margins weighed on the stock price. This also pushed some other technology stocks in the so-called 'Magnificent 7' lower last week. However, the Q2 earnings season was broadly positive. US consumer confidence rose to a six-month high in August and Q2 GDP was revised higher, supported by an increased estimate of consumer spending. Together, this was indicative of a healthy consumer. This data contrasted with that of Germany where consumer confidence fell in September amid concerns over job prospects while Q2 GDP (-0.3% q/q annualised) also showed ongoing weakness in household consumption and manufacturing. A separate measure of Eurozone consumer confidence rose, however, suggesting a more positive backdrop for the region. Inflation data showed easing price pressures in the Eurozone. Consumer prices rose by 2.2% y/y in August, down from 2.6% in July. In the US, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation (core PCE) was at 2.6% y/y, unchanged from July. This is likely to allow central banks to lower rates as inflation appears to be under control and not far from banks' 2% targets. This backdrop pushed shorter dated bond yields in the US lower (bond prices rise as bond yields fall) earlier in the week as the Fed is expected to cut the Fed funds rate by around 100bps in 2024 to a range of 4.25-4.50%. Last week, the US Treasury two-year yield was unchanged at 3.92%. This week, US data is set to take centre stage, with July job openings (Wednesday) and August employment data (Friday) the main points of interest. This comes ahead of the Fed's policy decision on September 18th. Chair Powell, in his Jackson Hole speech 10 days ago, already guided for a rate cut at the meeting. Elsewhere, Eurozone activity including July retail sales (Thursday) may also be a useful gauge of consumption in the region. Markets in a minute provided by Irish Life Investment Managers
