TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The yield on the German 10-year Bund rose past 1.2% in August, the highest in nearly one month, as inflationary concerns strengthened expectations that major central banks will continue their aggressive tightening paths. ECB board member Isabel Schnabel stated that the central bank’s inflation outlook has not improved since the July 50bps rate hike. The latest CPI data confirmed that inflation in the currency bloc rose at a record pace of 8.9% in July. In the meantime, Europe’s energy woes continue amid reduced supplies from Russia, further threatening the economic outlook and inflation through soaring natural gas prices. Germany’s federal network agency said that the country needs to cut 20% of its natural gas usage to avoid rationing in the winter. The latest data showed investor confidence in the German economy fell to the lowest since October 2008 in August as high heating and energy costs weigh on the outlook.
