Breakdown by country
In Europe, growth remains modest but positive (+1.2% annualized in Q1) and inflation is stabilizing around the ECB's target. After the euphoria that followed the announcement of the German stimulus plan, the reality of the impact and timeframe of this spending, coupled with expectations of a global slowdown, are still leading the ECB to continue its monetary easing cycle. The rising euro and falling oil prices are powerful factors for a downward revision of inflation in 2026. Under these conditions, the way is wide open for further cuts over the coming months, leading to an accommodating monetary policy (Ester below 2%).
Fiscal concerns continue to loom large in the USA as we await the budget talks starting in July, and while they seem to have taken a back seat in some Eurozone countries, they are likely to resurface in the second half of the year.
This volatile macroeconomic context led us to adjust our portfolio allocation.
First of all, the risk-off episode that followed Liberation Day, accompanied by a lack of confidence in US assets, led us to reinforce our long position on US and European real rates at levels incompatible with economic growth momentum.
We also reduced our hedge on European inflation-indexed bonds, reducing our exposure to break-even inflation rates in favor of a long exposure to eurozone real rates.
