Income Investors: Don't Stretch For Equity Yield

For investors looking for income through a multi-asset class approach, it might seem sensible to max out the dividend yield within the equity allocation.

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.

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.
