As expected, another country divided. In Germany, Friedrich Merz’s CDU/CSU alliance won 28.6% of the votes, while the far-right AfD doubled its support to 20.8%, becoming the second-strongest party. The German election results left Merz with only one clear path to power – partnering with outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats. In this weekly snapshot from Stefano Amato, we examine price reactions to see how markets have responded to recent developments. #WeeklySnapshot #Equities #MarketInsights #MarketAnalysis #FinancialTrends

European stocks have been on a tear lately, visibly outperforming the S&P 500 and global stocks – even after the collapse of the transatlantic alliance was laid bare over the weekend. Amid an uncoordinated response from European leaders to US Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech in Munich, it took Volodymr Zelenskyy to clarify what had just transpired: “The US Vice-President made it clear: decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending. From now on, things will be different, and Europe needs to adjust to that.” Stefano Amato explores the broader implications in this Weekly Snapshot. #WeeklySnapshot #Equities #MarketInsights #MarketAnalysis #FinancialTrends

President Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the US, affecting major suppliers like Mexico and Canada, as part of his broader trade policies. ‘Tariff Man’ has come out swinging, and this set of sanctions is likely going to impact various industries, including aerospace, auto manufacturing, and energy, potentially leading to higher consumer prices and reduced trade flows. In this weekly snapshot, Stefano Amato looks at how the rules of the game have changed – and the implications of this new world order across markets. #WeeklySnapshot #Trump #Tariffs #MarketInsights #Canada #Mexico #Steel #Aluminium
