ECB leaves rates steady after a year of easing
LONDON (Reuters) -The European Central Bank left interest rates steady at 2%, as expected on Thursday, taking a break after a year of policy easing to wait for clarity over Europe's future trade relations with the United States. The euro traded at $1.1733, below where it was before the ECB statement, after U.S. jobless data showed a larger drop than expected in initial claims. Euro area bond yields and European shares remained higher on the day. Germany's rate sensitive two-year Schatz yield was last up 6.3 basis points on the day at 1.859%, little changed from levels seen before the decision. Europe's broad STOXX 600 index was up 0.46% on the day. Money market price in a more-than 80% chance of another 25-bp rate cut by year-end. COMMENTS: MARK WALL, CHIEF EUROPE ECONOMIST, DEUTSCHE BANK, LONDON: "As effectively telegraphed by Lagarde, the ECB paused the easing cycle in July. The question is, will this be a short pause, or a long pause? And could this be a pause that sees 2% policy rates eventually become the terminal rate in this easing cycle? Uncertainty remains high and the ECB rightly wants to keep its options open. But if trade uncertainty fades, the combination of a resilient economy and significant fiscal easing will eventually translate into upside risks to inflation. Markets are not far away from switching focus from the last cut to the first hike." ARNE PETIMEZAS, DIRECTOR RESEARCH, AFS GROUP, AMSTERDAM: "Lagarde and the ECB still lack the confidence to offer any meaningful guidance or place trust in their forecasts. Otherwise, they would fine-tune policy - perhaps even take out an insurance cut in the autumn. They're happy playing the reactive game and wait for data and events to tell them what to do next." NICK REES, HEAD OF MACRO RESEACH, MONEX EUROPE, LONDON: "I wasn't expecting anything much from the statement and at first glance there doesn't seem to be much in it. The big question for us is: do they realistically think they need to cut rates again given that euro/dollar isn't appreciating at pace, and the indications are that the EU has a deal with the U.S., and that takes two of the risks to inflation off the table? Now to see how confident (ECB President Christine) Lagarde sounds about it." RICHARD CARTER, HEAD OF FIXED INTEREST RESEARCH, QUILTER CHEVIOT, LONDON: "If the dollar continues to be as weak as it has this year and inflation remains in check, pressure for a rate cut in September could ramp up once again. "With the ECB well ahead of other central banks in that rate-cutting cycle, it has diverged significantly from other central banks. "Uncertainty remains the theme of the day for the ECB. But as soon as those clouds lift, we shouldn't be surprised to see it get back on the pedal and start cutting rates once again." MARCHEL ALEXANDROVICH, ECONOMIST, SALTMARSH ECONOMICS, LONDON: "At 2%, rates remain squarely to the middle of the ECB's 1.5% to 2.5% neutral range. Uncertainty is highly elevated, however, and, if trade tensions escalate, further easing may well be required later in the year to help support business and consumer confidence." SYLVAIN BROYER, CHIEF EMEA ECONOMIST, S&P GLOBAL RATINGS: "The policy rate stands comfortably within the estimated neutral range and is effectively at zero in real terms. The labour market is still tight, meaning the unemployment rate is below its equilibrium, and the ECB believes in a Phillips-like relation between unemployment and inflation. On top of that, Germany is about to start a huge re-flation of its economy that will have positive spillovers over the rest of the euro zone and beyond. "Maybe the next ECB move is not down, as markets believe but the pause can last and the next move might be up." MATHIEU SAVARY, CHIEF STRATEGIST, BCA RESEARCH: "The ECB stood pat today, but this pause is not the end of the story. Disinflation is already deeply entrenched across the euro zone. Now, with a stronger euro, looming U.S. tariffs, and intensifying Chinese competition, the region faces a new threat: deflation. The Governing Council may soon find itself forced to cut rates more aggressively than markets currently anticipate." 登入存取你的投資組合

Trump tariffs would hit Hungary hard despite warm relations with MAGA-friendly Orbán
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's populist prime minister has spent years building a close political relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump and aligning himself with the MAGA movement. But despite Viktor Orbán's success in gaining favor with the culturally conservative and nationalist wing of Trump's administration, his country is poised to be among those hard hit by Trump's tariffs against the European Union. Trump earlier this month announced he would levy tariffs of 30% against Mexico and the EU beginning Aug. 1 — a move that could cause massive upheaval between the United States and the 27-member EU, of which Hungary is a member. As a small, export-oriented economy with major automobile, pharmaceutical and wine industries — some of the main categories of products Europe exports to the U.S. — Hungary will be particularly vulnerable to Trump's tariffs. The duties 'would put the Hungarian economy in a very, very difficult situation, because then the entire possibility for Hungary to export to America would be essentially eliminated,' Péter Virovácz, chief analyst at ING Hungary, told The Associated Press. 'Not the best way to make money' Hungary's largest trading partners are other EU countries like Germany, Italy and Romania, as well as China, but many Hungarian companies export their goods across the Atlantic. Outgoing trade to the United States represents around 15% of all Hungarian exports to countries outside the EU. One such enterprise, a Budapest-based company specializing in Hungarian wine, said it will likely cease doing business in the U.S. altogether if the 30% duty is levied on its products. 'If it's really going to be 30%, then there is no more shipment … We might just call it a day at the end of the year,' said Gábor Bánfalvi, co-owner of Taste Hungary. Bánfalvi's company has been shipping around 10,000 bottles of premium Hungarian wine per year to the U.S. for about half a decade. With a base in Washington D.C., it exports a range of red and white wines to clients in numerous U.S. states including specialty wine shops and bars. Until now, 'it's been a thin profit margin, but it's been fine because we want Hungarian wine to be available' to U.S. consumers, Bánfalvi said. 'Then came 2025,' he said. When Trump began imposing tariffs on EU exports earlier this year, the cost of Taste Hungary's shipments tripled, Bánfalvi said — price hikes he had to build into the sticker price of the wine. The imposition of 30% tariffs would make exporting 'unsustainable.' 'You just start to think, why are we doing this? Is it really worth it? It's just not the best way to make money,' he said. In total, the value of EU-U.S. trade in goods and services in 2024 amounted to 1.7 trillion euros ($2 trillion.) Doubts that political ties could soften the blow Hungary's government, a vocal proponent of Trump's 'patriotic' foreign policy prioritizing national interests, has acknowledged that the tariffs would present a challenge. But, careful not to criticize the Trump administration, it has instead blamed the EU, a frequent target of Orbán's scorn, for failing to reach a comprehensive trade agreement with Washington. Confident that his right-wing populist policies would help win him favor with Trump's administration, Orbán said in an interview in April that while tariffs 'will be a disadvantage,' his government was negotiating 'other economic agreements and issues that will offset them.' But Péter Krekó, director of the Budapest-based Political Capital think tank, expressed doubt that political affinities could play a meaningful role in mitigating damage to Hungary's economy caused by Trump's trade policy. 'The unquestionably good bilateral relations simply cannot compensate for the trade conflicts between the EU and the U.S., and as a consequence, Hungary will suffer the tariffs the same way that the EU will,' Krekó said. 'Mutual nationalisms cannot be coordinated in a way that it is going to be a win-win situation.' Car manufacturing and pharmaceuticals Virovácz, the economist, pointed out that Hungary is home to numerous automobile factories for major automakers like Audi and Mercedes. The manufacturing of cars and motor vehicle parts represents an 'overwhelming majority' of the country's total exports, he said. Pharmaceuticals make up an even larger share of Hungarian exports to the United States — an industry on which Trump this month threatened to impose 200% tariffs. That 'will essentially kill European and thus Hungarian exports to America,' Virovácz said. 'It's impossible for tariffs to be levied on EU products but not on Hungarian ones,' he said. 'A theoretical option is that Trump could somehow compensate Hungary because he's on good terms with the Hungarian political leadership, but if that only starts happening now, it's way too late.' Krekó, the political analyst, said Trump's administration 'gives practically nothing for free. If Hungary … cannot fulfill the interests of the U.S., then I think Hungary is not going to receive gifts.' 'Hungary just doesn't have the cards, to use Trump's terminology,' he added.
