The European Central Bank's job is not yet finished. Far from it. Our view is that the ECB will phase out reinvestments of its Asset Purchase Programme portfolio throughout 2023 by gradually removing the reinvestment cap.

The ECB's Unfinished Business To Weigh On Markets

Slow out the gates, but the ECB is now hiking at a record pace. Are higher rates already having an impact?

The VGK fund has returned 4.32% per annum since its inception in 2005, slightly outperforming its benchmark by 0.21%. The fund is heavily weighted towards the United Kingdom, which constitutes 25.5% of the portfolio exposures.

VGK: Wage-Price Spiral A Serious Risk For Europe

VGK trades at too high of a multiple given its exposures which are not that well positioned in relation to weakening European economic power. Finance exposures have some push from slowly rising rates in Europe, and healthcare is resilient, but the rest have a lot of wallet share in a weakening Europe.

VGK Boasts Little With Lots Of European Wallet Share

The imminent recessions we expect in the eurozone and European Union are forecast to be relatively short and sharp. Recessions in the eurozone industrial sector tend to be more frequent, and larger, than real GDP recessions.

The final estimate of eurozone inflation has been adjusted down from 10% to 9.9%. When looking at the details, there's little to be optimistic about.

The Eurozone Flirts With Double-Digit Inflation

Looking at all the evidence available so far, it looks like the eurozone fell into a shallow recession in the third quarter. For the European Central Bank, this is unlikely to be enough to prompt an immediate dovish pivot given its determination to hike interest rates in the face of double-digit inflation.

Eurozone Downturn Deepens In September As Price Pressures Intensify

Europe's economic metrics held up decently in the first half of this year, giving rise to some optimism in regards to the economic fallout from its economic divorce with Russia. Deutsche Bank recently released an estimate for EU 2023 GDP growth of -2.2%. I believe that it will be worse than that, meaning that the outlook for VGK fund is bleak.

VGK: Deutsche Bank Sees Brutal EU Economic Contraction In 2023, Yet It May Still Be Overly Optimistic

The market seems to have priced in a lot of the negativity around geopolitical risks following the Ukrainian conflict, high commodity prices, a falling euro, and recession fears. However, to be more precise, Europe consists of many countries which have been impacted differently by the above woes.

Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF: Time To Start Looking Beyond The Gloom

We think the energy crisis will spur a recession in Europe. The ECB is trying to fight inflation without recognizing the costs.

Energy Shock Spurs Europe's Recession

The S&P Global Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.6 in August, down from 49.8 and further beneath the 50.0 mark that separates growth from contraction. Weak demand and efforts to reduce high inventory levels are therefore combining to drive production lower in the months ahead.

Labor Costs Put Upward Pressure On Eurozone Inflation

The eurozone economy looks set to contract in Q3 as business activity slipped into decline in July and forward-looking indicators hint at worse to come in the months ahead.
