Nordic Bank Leads Europe IPO Arrangers as Local Listings Boom
Nordic-focused DNB Carnegie worked on five IPOs so far this year that raised roughly $2 billion in proceeds, accounting for about a third of all European volumes for the period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The deals have catapulted the bank to the number one spot for European IPOs thus far in 2025, and number two for the wider Europe, Middle East and Africa region after Citigroup Inc.

What if the dollar has bottomed?
-- A recent rebound in the U.S. dollar may mark the end of its year-to-date slide, potentially easing pressure on European equities and resetting key assumptions across global markets. The dollar, down around 10% from January highs, has recently bounced following U.S. trade agreements with Japan and the EU. Barclays analysts say this move could reflect the early stages of a broader shift, particularly as speculative positioning against the dollar looks stretched and U.S. earnings and macro data remain firm. The rally in the euro, driven more by capital flows than interest rate differentials, has been a drag on European earnings, especially for exporters. Barclays' FX strategists expect the euro to weaken gradually, forecasting EUR/USD to fall toward 1.13. That shift would reverse some of the eurozone's year-to-date 'exorbitant benefit' from dollar weakness, which had exacerbated the impact of deteriorating terms of trade due to tariffs. European stocks have lagged U.S. peers in part due to this FX dynamic. Barclays says the stronger euro has hit corporate earnings harder than tariffs, contributing to a wave of EPS downgrades in export-heavy sectors. But a dollar turnaround may offer some relief, with the potential to put a floor under European earnings estimates. Medium-term risks remain. Concerns around Federal Reserve independence and potential rate convergence in 2026, especially if German or EU growth surprises to the upside — could limit sustained dollar strength. Still, Barclays concludes that FX is no longer a one-way bet. If the dollar has in fact bottomed, it would mark a meaningful shift in global equity drivers, the brokerage said.

Liverpool drop MASSIVE hint that Alexander Isak deal is closer
Liverpool are reported to have been turned down by Newcastle in their first attempt to sign Alexander Isak. An official approach fell short of the Geordies' valuation - and Eddie Howe has been struggling to line up a successor. Those reports were swiftly followed up with claims from trusted journalists that Liverpool wouldn't be back. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Newcastle's were emphatic in their refusal to do business and that was that. But there are some clues regarding this deal that all might not be what it seems. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range One hint may well lie with Darwin Nunez. Al-Hilal intending to add Nunez Later on Friday it transpired from sources including Saudi insider Hamad al-Swilhy that Al-Hilal were pressing on with their attempts to sign Darwin from Liverpool. Simone Inzaghi - the Saudi Pro League giants' new manager - wants the Uruguayan frontman as his new striker. And all summer long it has appeared inevitable that Nunez could be leaving. If Liverpool were truly not intending to replace Darwin with Isak before the end of summer - then these rumours could be shut down pretty handily. But it remains the case that Nunez is likely to go. Liverpool won't leave themselves short Cast your mind back to last summer. Liverpool triggered Martin Zubimendi's release clause - but the deal fell apart when the player rejected the move. Richard Hughes was then criticised for neglecting to sign a replacement; the Reds instead went into the season with Ryan Gravenberch as their No1 pick in defensive midfield. The mantra at Anfield was that it was better to sign NO player than the WRONG player. We can safely assume that the stance remains the same. Liverpool will not buy a second choice. © IMAGO - Alexander Isak Liverpool If Isak doesn't come, why sell Nunez? They will either persist in their attempt to sign a priority target or else stick with what they've got. The indications are that Darwin will be sold - meaning a new No9 will certainly be required. And given Liverpool's previous conduct - if Isak is off the menu then they won't move for a different striker. That would mean Hugo Ekitike being Arne Slot's ONLY option in the centre-forward position next season before 'false nines' are considered.
