In the latest LPL Market Signals podcast, LPL strategists share their economic and stock market outlook for 2025, taken from the newly released Outlook 2025: Pragmatic Optimism available on LPL.com's research page. They also recap last week's tech-led market advance and preview the week ahead. The strategists highlight several key economic themes for 2025: • Slowing growth, not recession • Capital investment could provide support • Labor market slowly downshifts • Inflation remains historically elevated • Fed will cut rates at a slower pace The strategists then highlight these stock market themes for 2025: • Modest mid-to-high-single digit returns on strong earnings growth • Upside could come from lower interest rates, productivity gains or market-friendly policy changes • Risks include a potential pronounced economic slowdown, reaccelerating inflation, rate volatility, or geopolitical threats. • Given stretched investor sentiment and rich valuations, we favor buying dips. The strategists close with a brief preview of the week ahead, highlighted by inflation data and European Central bank rate decision. Tracking: #668622

In this episode I talked to Evelien Witlox, who is the Digital Euro program director at the European Central bank, about why we need a digital Euro. How will it work? How will it impact the financial system? We also discussed concerns around privacy, programmable money, and the continued availability of cash.
Wall Street closed higher across the key indices on Friday as favourable economic data strengthened investor sentiment in the U.S. economy. The S&P500 rose for a sixth straight session, ending the day up 0.53%, the Dow Jones rose 0.64% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.18% despite Tesla shares slumping over 13% after the EV giant posted disappointing fourth-quarter results and warned of lower vehicle volume growth for the year ahead.US GDP data out late last week indicated the world's largest economy grew at a rate of 3.3% in Q4 which was well above economists' expectations of a 2% growth and provides further support that the U.S. economy remains resilient despite the currently high interest rate environment.Personal consumption expenditures data out of the US also pointed in the right direction for economy stability against inflation falling in fresh data out last Thursday. The PCI data, a preferred measure of inflation for the fed, showed an increase of 2% for the latest quarter.Over in Europe, markets closed at a two-year high on Friday as investors welcomed a slew of favourable economic data, the ECB's latest rate decision and corporate fourth quarter earnings results. The STOXX600 rose 1.1% on Friday led by household goods jumping 5.2%. Germany's DAX ended Friday's session up 0.32%, the French CAC added 2.28%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 rose 1.4%.Luxury brand retailer LVMH jumped 13% on Friday after posting strong fourth quarter results indicating sales which is a key boost for the luxury market in a time of slowing consumer spend.The European Central bank also met market expectations late last week by maintaining the ECB interest rate steady at 4% for a third straight time.Across the Asia markets on Friday, stocks mostly declined as investors piled out of EV stocks in the region amid concerns of slowing demand, while investors also digested inflation data out of Tokyo. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.8% on Friday, China's CSI ended the day down 0.27%, and Japan's Nikkei fell 1.34%. Japan's inflation reading for January came in softer compared to December's reading at 1.6% growth YoY and below the 1.9% rise economists were expecting.Locally on Friday, the ASX200 was closed for the Australia day public holiday.What to watch today:Ahead of the first trading session for the week here in Australia, the SPI futures are expecting the ASX200 to open the first trading day of the week up 0.19%.On the commodities front this morning, oil is up 0.84% at US$78.01/barrel, gold is down 0.07% at US$2018.38/ounce and iron ore is up 1.10% at US$137.50/tonne.AU$1.00 dollar is buying US$0.66, 97.43 Japanese Yen, 51.74 British Pence and NZ$1.08.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has maintained a sell rating on Fortescue (ASX:FMG) but has slightly increased the price on the big miner following the release of the company's December quarter results including iron ore shipments coming in-line with Bell Potter expectations, however, water supply disruptions continued to impact high grade magnetite production at Iron Bridge and FY24 guidance has been lowered again.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Boral (ASX:BLD) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 29-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $5.26 to the range of $4.92 to $4.98 according to standard principles of technical analysis.
After starting the trading day on a strong footing, European markets petered out during the day but still ended in positive territory. European central banks refrain from declaring victory over inflation and stick to their tight monetary policy. Tim Gagie, Head of FX & PM Solutions Geneva, shares his thoughts on what this means for currencies and metals.00:00 Introduction by Helen Freer (Investment Writing)00:24 Markets wrap-up by Roman Canziani (Head of Investment Writing)07:00 Currencies and metals by Tim Gagie (Head of FX & PM Solutions Geneva)12:26 Closing remarks by Helen Freer (Investment Writing)Would you like to support this show?

On this week's episode, the team are back to look behind the cyber news, starting with the announcement from the Home Affairs Department to restructure in order to give government a ‘cyber spine'. We investigate the plan from the European Central bank to run stress tests on cyber resilience across Europe's top banks in response to the sharp rise in cyber attacks. To wrap up the show, we discuss the new “bootkit” malware called BlackLotus and the risk it poses as well as a lightning round of the latest breaches and vulnerabilities to make the headlines.
The US federal Reserve delivered the expected 50 basis point hike yesterday, but stock markets were disappointed by the indication that officials expect to keep rates higher in 2023, with no reductions expected until 2024. European stock markets now nervously await decisions from the ECB, Swiss national Bank and Bank of England. Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research talks us through why he expects the recent recovery in gold and silver prices to run out of steam soon, and Nicolas Jordon updates us on the latest thoughts from the bank's investment committee.00:14 Introduction and markets wrap-up by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)03:47 Gold & Silver update by Carsten Menke (Head of Next Generation Research)06:58 IC Meeting update by Nicolas Jordan (CIO Strategy)09:49 Closing remarks by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)
Ever since the financial crisis, when Ireland's entire banking system, collapsed and needed to be bailed out by taxpayers, the European Central bank, and the central bank of Ireland have insisted that all lenders set aside, huge quantities of capital to act as a risk buffer in case things go wrong again. The consultants Mazar have carried out a study of European banks and compared them, and Michael Tuohy Financial Services Audit Leader with Mazars joined Joe this morning with more details on the study.
The European Central bank (ECB) raised the interest rates by 75bp at yesterday's monetary policy meeting and said there will be more rate hikes to fight inflation. ECB officials will also start talking about shrinking the size of the balance sheet when they meet in Cyprus at the beginning of October, which is a non-policy meeting. There are a few elements that sound hawkish for the ECB. Does it mean that the euro could appreciate against the dollar? Nobody knows that. It depends on how strong the US dollar could become. Euro Stoxx first fell than recovered to close the session slightly in the positive, the bank stocks jumped more than 2% as the higher rates will increase the risk-free income for the banks and boost their interest revenues. The US indices also had a positive session, although the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell hinted that the jumbo rate hikes will continue to tame inflation in the US, as well. The S&P500 closed the 4000 mark, while Nasdaq added 0.50%. Bitcoin advanced above $20K. Rivian jumped almost 11% on news that it would team up with Mercedes-Benz to build electric vans in Europe. Tesla gained near 2% on news that it delivered near-record China-made cars. Listen to find out more!
We live in an extraordinary time for the global economy. Despite supply chain and workforce issues, a commodities boom and rising energy costs, the US Federal Reserve and European Central bank are keeping low interest rates frozen. But with the inflation spectre looming on the horizon, former US Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh says the window of opportunity for central banks to act may already be closing.

Treasury secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that US interest rates may need to rise so that the economy does not overheat, and US states and companies are offering all kinds of incentives to entice people to get vaccinated against coronavirus.

Two of them spoke to the FT about their experiences and “hidden barriers” to gender equality in their field.Yellen says rates may have to rise to prevent ‘overheating’https://www.ft.com/content/049f4a79-abff-4a6c-a7c1-13409e8f63aeWomen central bankers want action on ‘hidden barriers’ to equalityhttps://www.ft.com/content/0d1d2d4d-8bb8-42ce-b263-9863a1f377edBeers and cash among incentives used to entice the ‘vaccine hesitant”https://www.ft.com/content/138f58a1-b472-452a-9daa-db0f5c885079 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With more than 65 years market experience between them, IG's Jeremy Naylor talks to Nick Cawley, from Daily FX, to look at the rise of the shadow banking sector. Having seen the European Central bank highlight the risks developing in this area, how should traders view the opportunities? Nick’s view is that risk assets are ‘underpriced’. But what are these, in the context of the pressures facing the ECB? Nick and Jeremy also have an opportunity to discuss the latest around the US China ‘trade spat’ and the new angle developing with the US beginning to put pressure on China with its commentary over the protests in Hong Kong. Any opinions, news, research, analysis, prices or other information contained does not constitute investment advice.
Have you ever wondered how the hard core drinker can pound back a six pack of beers and not seem the least bit intoxicated? In the meantime, your tea toddling aunt gets silly after half a glass of wine? It’s because the addict becomes resistant to the drug. On today’s show we are talking about the latest mainline injection of hard core drugs into the economy. I’m not talking about actual drugs of course. The drug in this case is cash. The European Central bank announced its most aggressive stimulus package in a while: interest rate cuts, money printing, quantitative easing, the whole nine yards. It’s pretty amazing when you think about it: interest rates in Europe are already NEGATIVE. They’ve been cutting rates for years, and it hasn’t worked. Back in July 2008, the European Central Bank’s main interest rate was 3.25%. By the end of 2008, it was clear the global economy was slowing down, and the central bank had slashed interest rates to just 1%. But they kept going. By 2013, the ECB had reduced its primary interest rate all the way to zero. And in 2014, they took the unprecedented step of cutting rates even further into negative territory. European rates have been negative now for FIVE YEARS. Yet Europe’s economies are still a mess. These results completely defy prevailing economic wisdom. According to the playbook that nearly all central bankers use, cutting interest rates is supposed to stimulate economic growth. It’s not working. Why? Because another six pack of beers won’t work for the addict. Another trillion Euros won’t work either. So if it’s not going to work, why would they do it? After all, these economists have a lot of university degrees. They’re pretty smart men and women. If I can see it, then surely they can see it. So why? It doesn’t make any sense. Or does it? What if the lower interest rates made the Euro even less attractive to bond investors than it is today. We could see a flight of capital from the Euro to the US dollar, or to Japanese Yen. That would cause the price of the Euro to fall against the US dollar. When that happens, the exports from Europe all of a sudden look like a better deal. They’re less expensive and all of a sudden Europe looks a lot more competitive. A fall in the price of the Euro would definitely have a stimulative effect on the European economy. Those Mercedes, Fiats, BMW and Porche’s will be more attractively priced than ever before. Vacationing in Europe would be less expensive. Perhaps planeloads of Americans will line the cafes in the south of France. Here’s the scary part. The US is going to feel like they need to respond to this silly financial arms race. You can bet that with an election looming in Washington, there will be tremendous pressure to stimulate the American economy. After all, this White House ran on a platform of economic boom, and to a large extent they’ve managed to ride the wave of economic expansion and declare victory. But if that economic success story shows signs of weakness, and by the way it is showing signs of weakness, you can bet that the printing presses in Washington will be warming up for the biggest stimulus package we’ve ever seen. The President is already pushing the Fed to lower interest rates and to weaken the US dollar. We live in a funny world right now. It’s a place where good is bad, and bad is good. Where weak is strong and strong is weak. You can bet that if the natural market forces don’t work, then that new Mercedes will probably come with a tariff in addition to the alloy wheels and a sun roof.
Markets are basically in "hurry up and wait" mode as they anticipate the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting next week. Will the central bank cut rates as anticipated? Or will Powell and company surprise everybody? In the meantime, there was some interesting economic and market news to digest this week. In this episode of the Friday Gold Wrap, host Mike Maharrey talks about the European Central bank meeting and the continuing surge in silver prices. He also looks ahead toward the next week's Fed meeting.

After a week where the Dow and S&P 500 hit new records, John gives Scott kudos for calling it as he breaks down the rally by sector. Financials, energy, and industrials led the way while tech was off slightly. Scott takes the kudos – and argues that the rally isn’t over yet. “We’re going even higher.” The 10-year ticked up slightly past 3%, which is fuel for any rally since in John’s words “financials love that – that’s net interest income, net interest margin, that falls right to the bottom line.” Scott explains why recent dollar weakness could propel U.S. multinational companies, and the S&P 500, higher. “If the dollar is gonna sell off, it’s gonna enable emerging market currencies to rally.” That’s tonic for inflation in emerging economies. And don’t forget – 47% of the revenues for the S&P 500 come from U.S. multinational companies. So as the dollar gets weaker, those companies are in for a boost. “You need to be paying a lot of attention to what the dollar’s doing, because it’s gonna be a really important indicator for the markets.” John turns to the Fed policy decision to be announced later this week, and why the Fed is hoping for a “soft landing” of 3% growth that will enable a 25-basis point hike. Scott games out a scenario where interest rates could be a whopping 75 basis points higher in March than they are today – a massive departure from the near-zero rate regime the Fed put in place for almost all of the last decade. Scott and John discuss quantitative tightening in the U.S. and around the world, and how this will affect the U.S. dollar and emerging markets. Reading between the lines of the latest European Central bank maneuverings, Scott makes sense of the ECB’s decision to end 30 billion euros per month of bond purchases starting January, and what Mario Draghi’s likely successor will be inheriting. John asks Scott about the new Apple Watch and the new features that could affect more than just the tech industry. “By having this electrocardiogram in there… I think that is going to be a huge driver for insurance companies.” But it doesn’t stop there. As Scott, notes, 62% Apple revenue comes from iPods, 13% from services, 11% from Macintosh, and 8.5% from iPad, and 5.5% from “other.” Why this could be a game-changer: “If you have a device that could spare doctors from unnecessary tests… isn’t there potential for insurance companies to say, ‘Why don’t we start writing prescriptions for this?’” John breaks down the latest volley in the trade war with China, and why the markets shrugged at the news of more tariffs last week. There's another mania in the stock market – this time with pot stocks. What are investors to do when pot stocks like Tilray, with next to no revenues, have market capitalizations bigger than American Airlines? John calls the valuation in Tilray "baffling" and tells listeners how this is just another example of the flock mentality. Scott and John close out this week's episode by talking about the upcoming Stansberry Vegas Conference and how it's lineup of great speakers makes it one of the best conferences on or off Wall Street. Scott tells listeners how they can follow the conference, and how they can sign up to stream it at Stansberryvegas.com.
Initial effects of this year's U.S.-China trade war, whether on trade or the yuan or U.S. Treasuries, are still unfolding and that was before this week's U.S. actions against China. No change is the theme for the European Central Bank and Bank of England as well as the Swiss National Bank where trouble for emerging- market currencies, and resulting strength for the Swiss franc, is a special factor.

Central banks in Europe are keeping policy actions on hold as may the Federal Reserve given the still unfolding effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
