Take A Look At These Charts Before Investing In Europe

European stocks are cheaper but justified due to structural issues, in my view. I expect continued underperformance compared to U.S. equities.

Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve

The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.

Draghi's €800bn Call To Action: Instilling The Urgency That Europe Needs

Former ECB President Mario Draghi's 400 pages of economists' ‘greatest hits' and a few more controversial proposals provide Europe's most comprehensive plan yet to revive its economy, decarbonise and become more self-sufficient. Economic growth in Europe has been weak compared to the US and China for a long time, but the sense of urgency around economic reform outside of crises was lacking.

VGK: Europe Earnings Growth Taking Hold

I maintain a buy rating on the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) due to its modest valuation, rising earnings estimates, and solid chart performance. Despite macroeconomic concerns, global EPS forecasts, including those for EAFE and Europe, are on the rise, lowering the P/E ratio for ex-US equities. VGK's diversified portfolio, high yield, and favorable sector allocation make it appealing for both near-term traders and long-term value investors.

Eurozone Inflation Drops To 2.2% In August

The drop in eurozone inflation from 2.6 to 2.2% was mainly because of energy inflation but does confirm the view that the inflation environment is slowly getting more benign. The ECB has arrived on a long home straight when it comes to bringing inflation back to target.

Eurozone PMI Picks Up In August Amid Olympics Boost

The composite PMI increased from 50.2 to 51.2 from July to August, mainly due to a jump in French services activity. Meanwhile, eurozone manufacturing continues to be a big disappointment.

Eurozone GDP Beats Expectations But Remains Weak Behind The Scenes

Eurozone GDP growth in the second quarter beat expectations and maintains the growth pace of 0.3% quarter-on-quarter seen in the first quarter. With unemployment low and inflation more benign, the economy is undoubtedly in a better situation than it was, for example, a year ago.

ECB: Next Stop, September

The European Central Bank's July monetary policy meetings tend to be uneventful, and this year proved no exception. Given the ECB's reaction function, we expect the ECB to continue lowering rates at staff projection meetings and therefore anticipate the next cut in September.

Citi advises investors to ‘election proof' their portfolios — here's how

Strategists at Citi say it's time to election-proof portfolios, and that mostly means shedding overseas stocks, while loading up on banks.

VGK: Showing Love For The Anti-Tech Play

Europe has underperformed US markets since 2008, second only to Emerging Markets. Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF offers low-cost exposure to European equities, tracking the FTSE Developed Europe All Cap Index. VGK is diverse by country and holdings, with sector composition dominated by Industrials, Financials, and Health Care. No clear advantage over iShares Core MSCI Europe ETF (IEUR).
