Geopolitics had a limited impact on markets (+4.96% for the S&P 500, +0.56% for the MSCI World EUR and -1.3% for the Stoxx 600), which focused more on trade negotiations (notably with China and Europe) and improved macroeconomic indicators in Europe and the United States.
In the US, the labor market remained solid, with unemployment stable at 4.2%, and consumer confidence improved thanks to the easing of trade tensions. Logically, the Fed kept rates unchanged, and Mr Powell did not commit to a precise timetable for the rate cut, although the market is now anticipating a first cut in September, followed by a second in December.
In the eurozone, the ECB cut rates by 25 bp at the same time as it revised its inflation forecasts downwards (low point expected at 1.4% in Q1 2026, compared with 1.9% in May).
On the microeconomic front, business sentiment stabilized, with the June composite PMI at 50.2, as in May. German economic momentum continues to improve, with surveys (ZEW, PMI, IFO) posting better-than-expected results due to the positive impact of fiscal stimulus.
As a result, we continue to believe that the economic environment should remain favorable to risky assets, provided that trade negotiations are not derailed, and that industrial activity in the US confirms its rebound.
Against this backdrop, we have maintained our exposure to equities at 77%, after having briefly lowered it to around 62% at the time of the peak of uncertainty in the Middle East.
Following a conference in Frankfurt with numerous German CEOs, we increased our exposure to Infineon, Commerzbank and Siemens.
Conversely, we lightened our exposure to the European defense sector (Thales sold, RENK and Leonardo lightened) ahead of the NATO summit, mainly on the grounds of valuation and stock market momentum.
Our positive contributors include Airbus, Asml and Safran, while our three main detractors are Leonardo, Renk and Renault.
