Euro Area and The Beleaguered Consumer Confidence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that euro-area growth had been resilient and that consumer confidence had “rebounded from the low levels in the spring.”But the European Commission’s September flash estimate quickly told a different story, showing consumer confidence falling 1.0 percentage point to –16.5. Rather than a sudden new cliff, this dip represents a fragile reversal—erasing four months of tentative improvement and dragging the indicator back away from its long-

Paris vis-à-vis “Double Tightening” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reuters reads France’s 10-year spread over Germany, now 104bp and the first triple-digit reading since 2012, mainly as a verdict on fiscal and political credibility. Both matter.

The Treasury issues euro debt; the ECB issues the euro. French bonds therefore carry a credit and liqu
