📈 After Donald Trump's return to the White House, U.S. markets surged, significantly outperforming European and other global equities. At the same time, the country’s bond yields also jumped amid expectations of higher inflation and interest rates. 🏷️ However, expected policies, such as tariffs driving up import prices and stricter immigration controls constraining labour supply, may lead to inflationary pressures and a rise in borrowing costs. 🌎 This will have consequences beyond North America. See the opinion of Pedro Catarino, Euroconsumers Invest Board Member, on how investors may profit on those conditions and what investments offer the best opportunities in higher volatility times: https://cutt.ly/1eC5RScW. #usa #exports #tariffs #investments

🌍 France and Germany face significant economic and political challenges, reflecting a broader European decline. 📈 France struggles with high public spending, rising debt, and economic stagnation. Politically, it remains unstable following the collapse of its shortest government in history. 🚗 Germany, on the other hand, faces industrial decline due to high energy costs, the transition to electric vehicles, and regulatory burdens. 💡 These issues, compounded by demographic challenges and a lack of innovation, have led to capital flight and weakened competitiveness. But we see different approaches to their crisis– at least one may be promising.

🏷️ In addition to energy price rises, persistent service sector pressures make it more difficult to keep inflation under control.   📈 This complicates the European Central Bank's (ECB) plans to cut key interest rates on December 12 and beyond, as inflation, excluding energy and unprocessed food, remains high at 2.8%. The ECB also faces other challenges, such as higher and more competitive US rates.   💶 However, investors may find interesting opportunities in the Eurozone.

🚨 The UK economy had a weak third quarter, with annual growth of just 1.0% and quarterly growth of a meager 0.1%. 🛑 Although inflation dropped to 1.7% in September, the Bank of England remains cautious about further rate cuts, with no new reductions expected before 2025. ❓ So, despite efforts to stabilize public finances and improve global relations, economic recovery remains uncertain for the United Kingdom.

🗳️ The October 27th general elections in Japan resulted in defeat for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, leaving Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba leading a fragile minority government. 🛃 This instability has derailed recent reforms, prompting a return to outdated fiscal strategies, such as the proposed tax reforms and higher spending risk. They may even exacerbate Japan's public debt, which is already over 250% of GDP. 💹 Meanwhile, monetary policy faces constraints as the Bank of Japan struggles to balance normalization efforts with the pressures of a weak yen and rising inflation. 🗾 However, the Tokyo Stock Exchange offers some diversification potential.
