1st evidence of #russianinvasion impact on #Germany sentiment. ZEW survey outlook collapsed while inflation expectations surged.Profit expectations dropped across sectors led by those hit by supply chain dusruptions & energy prices surge (auto, steel, mechanical engineering).

Eurozone was technically in recession last winter with government consumption contracting the most since Q2 2020 due to Germany. Private consumption was again a negative contributor. Growth to be notably led by better terms of trade yet restrained by tighter monetary conditions.

#Eurozone credit growth gained further momentum led by corporates in core countries. Shorter maturities continued contributing positively.

#Eurozone trade deficit peaked last August amid easing energy prices. Energy imports (value) from Russia down 50% from a peak in March 2022. Resilient nominal exports (9% > trend despite a strong decline late 2022) mostly led by the US with #China starting contributing positively

In the #Eurozone , effective monetary policy transmission but firms postponed their investment decisions given uncertainty. Credit growth & impulse decline in Q4 (led by NFC in core economies) suggest weaker growth. Yet, credit reacts with lag & the trade truth is positive ahead

In the 4 main #Eurozone countries, car sales show a healthy return to pre-crisis level. France recovery (now 4%<Dec 19 level helped by the car scrappage scheme introduced in June) is at odds with the sluggish rebound in Italy (19%<). New incentives there will soon be supportive.

#Eurozone M3 has been rising at the slowest pace since 2014. The QE contribution to M3 has faded out rapidly (null contribution). M3 has being held up by private credit yet eased the last 6 months. Net external asset flows have continued improving.

ECB balance sheet rose strongly through bond purchases & loans to banks at very attractive conditions & seeks now to reduce excess liquidity (TLROs 1st).The tighter the monetary policy, the higher the incentive for banks to keep the liquidity at maturity making an easy profit.

In  #Germany , it is not all doom and gloom! -Manufacturing #PMI contracted further YET forward looking components kept improving. -Exports gained momentum at the start of Q4 led by Europe, US and Asia. -Therefore, industrial production should recover going forward.

#Eurozone PPI  surged to 13.4% Y/Y (highest level since late 1974) led by supply disruptions aggravated by another supply shock (gas prices). It may increase the pass through of costs to consumer prices. Manufacturing PMI output prices are indeed close to an all-time high (>70).
