This is a very important change, and a big source of uncertainty.”But while US economic policy is casting a fog of doubt and complicating monetary policy just as the ECB is rapidly slashing rates, De Guindos said he remained confident that inflation was moving towards the central bank’s 2 per cent target on a sustainable basis.“We also need to try to look through the short-term evolution of markets and distinguish between short-term volatility and permanent or medium-term forces,” he said. “If we were to be as volatile as the markets, that wouldn’t be very reassuring.”De Guindos, ECB president Christine Lagarde and the rest of the governing council are trying to chart a course to stabilise inflation in the euro area amid unpredictable international relations and a rapidly changing economic environment.Last week the council approved the sixth rate cut since June, unwinding much of the bank’s record-setting response to the bout of inflation that followed the end of Covid lockdowns and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.This is what is meant by “meaningfully less restrictive” — ECB lingo for lower rates. On the plus side for the ECB’s comfort levels, wage growth has moderated and energy prices have come down, suggesting inflation will fall from its most recent reading of 2.4 per cent.However, the long-awaited pick-up in household consumption and business investment has not yet arrived, delayed — according to De Guindos — by dented confidence caused by concerns about what Trump might do next.“Real wages have increased, inflation is declining, interest rates are coming down and financing conditions are better. But still, the reality is that consumption is not picking up,” De Guindos said, echoing an analysis by Philip Lane, the Irishman who is the ECB’s chief economist.“This is because consumers don’t always react to developments in their short-term real disposable income. They also consider what might happen with the economy over the medium term, which is clouded in uncertainty. The possibility of a trade war or wider geopolitical conflict has an impact on consumer confidence.”He called trade wars a “lose-lose situation for everybody” and blamed the tit-for-tat politicking between the US and its trade partners for a decline in euro area growth projections.Yet paradoxically, Trump’s conditional approach to common defence, which has so unsettled America’s Nato allies, could provide the stimulus Europe needs to prime its growth pump. “As a result of the new administration’s attitude towards defence, we have the European Commission’s proposal to increase national defence spending by 1.5 per cent of GDP,” De Guindos said.“This is certainly a decision in the right direction, and it will have an impact on the macroeconomic outlook. We don’t know enough details about the package to make an accurate assessment about its impact on the economy, but it will likely be positive for growth and have a limited impact on inflation.”But he was cautious about assessing the impact in advance of increased defence spending, warning that much of it could be spent outside the EU or covered by higher taxes and reduced public spending, which could dampen growth.On housing, where ECB rates have perhaps their most significant impact, De Guindos pointed his finger at national governments for shortages.“At the European level, improving the performance of the rental market will be very important in the near future. We should foster common action to achieve this, because it’s a significant source of social upset,” he said. “But this is for national governments to do, not the ECB.”

La pequeña empresa se ahoga con los alquileres. No por sabido es menos pertinente hablar de ello.https://www.elcomercio.es/oviedo/calle-milicias-nacionales-cuatro-locales-oviedo-persiana-20250315000924-nt.htmlLos comerciantes advierten que «las ventas han bajado» y que el alquiler de locales para montar un negocio es «desorbitadoLa céntrica Milicias Nacionales, aledaña a la calle Uría de Oviedo, muestra un aspecto bien distinto al que ofrecía hace tan solo diez años, cuando los negocios hacían caja incluso sin salir de la tienda. «Aquí hemos llegado a vender a señoras que estaban tomando un café en lo que fue La Mallorquina», declara Verónica Corzo, dueña de una tienda de ropa de bebé para la que, profetiza, el futuro pinta negro. «Yo no tengo queja ninguna porque llevo 26 años y pago un alquiler que, gracias a los dueños, no es excesivo, pero muchos de aquí no pueden con todo porque las ventas han bajado y mucho»Sus palabras las subrayan otros comerciantes, y es que de los casi veinte locales que hay en Milicias Nacionales, cuatro tienen la persiana bajada, uno abrirá próximamente y dos se trasladarán a la calle Uría. «Aquí vine con mucha ilusión y el futuro pasa por mudarme porque pagar casi 3.000 euros de alquiler es inviable», narra Nuria Fernández, propietaria de Calzados la Jaula. Para ella, el futuro pasa necesariamente por la unión. «Si todos nos unimos o compartimos espacio, seguramente podríamos asumir los alquileres desorbitados de esta calle».

Asustadísimos lleva ya varias semanas hablando de que van a ir a por Ceuta y Melilla. Entiendo que Marruecos con apoyo anglo. Lo de hoy indica que según acabe la guerra de Ucrania va a empezar la tensión con nosotros. ¿Eso explicaría las prisas para tomar el control de Santa Bárbara Sistemas?¿Canarias va en el lote?

Ese dinero seguirá entrando en las ETFs y dudo que pare a corto o medio plazo.El ajuste se hará principalmente mediante inflación, no por los índices bursátiles.
US shoppers tighten their belts as economic outlook concerns mountTariffs, market volatility and political uncertainty threaten to undermine key driver of growth in world’s largest economyUS consumers are already suffering from the effects of inflation and now face the possibility of a recession © Gabby Jones/BloombergUS shoppers are cutting back on spending and sentiment is sliding as President Donald Trump’s tariffs and market volatility threaten to undermine one of the key drivers of the world’s largest economy. Many retailers reported solid sales at the end of last year, but warned of slower growth in 2025, and industry data shows that their forecasts are already playing out. Footfall to US stores fell by 4.3 per cent year on year in early March, according to RetailNext, a consultancy — extending declines that began at the start of the year. Placer.ai, which aggregates signals from consumers’ mobile devices, has recorded fewer visits to big-box stores including Walmart, Target and Best Buy in recent weeks. On Friday the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index recorded its third consecutive monthly drop and the lowest reading since November 2022. Inflation expectations were rising, the survey also showed.Trump has declined to rule out a recession, while the stock market’s recent tumble has dented the investment portfolios of wealthier Americans who propel US consumption. “The consumer is being barraged with so many different elements,” said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst at Circana, which compiles retail purchase data. “It’s easier for the consumer to just step back and say: ‘I’m going to ride this out and wait and see what happens’.” The US Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates on hold at its meeting this week, and Fed chair Jay Powell recently downplayed concerns about growth, saying that the US central bank did “not need to be in a hurry” to cut rates.But investors are increasingly concerned that Trump’s erratic policymaking, marked by a series of sudden U-turns, is disrupting businesses and slowing growth. Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 stock index fell into correction territory this week, before inching back.Consumer spending was a key driver of the US’s economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, outpacing Europe and other big economies.But household budgets were stretched in the subsequent period of high inflation. In response, consumers have pared spending, cutting sales volumes for consumer packaged goods companies. Lower-income consumers have felt the most strain. Sales of discretionary general merchandise fell by 3 per cent in the week ending March 8 compared with last year, continuing a string of annual declines in February, data from Circana showed.Traffic to US fast-food restaurants was down 2.8 per cent in February, according to Revenue Management Solutions, with visits at breakfast time dropping by double digits. “It’s the easiest meal to make at home or skip entirely,” the consultancy said.Four big US airlines this week warned of a slowdown in demand, in part due to retrenchment by leisure travellers.This month Target reported a decline in February sales and warned of profit pressures this quarter in part due to “tariff uncertainty”. Some consumers are also boycotting the Minneapolis-based retailer after it retreated from corporate diversity commitments. Target executives declined to confirm whether boycotts were having an effect.Analysts said that economic anxiety was having a bigger impact than boycotts on retail sales, for which official government data is due to be released on Monday.Lauren Hobart, chief executive of Dick’s Sporting Goods, told analysts this week it was “absolutely not the case” that consumers were weaker. However, her chain forecasts same-store sales growth of 1 to 3 per cent this year, slower than its 5.2 per cent rise in 2024.“Our guidance merely reflects the fact that there’s so much uncertainty in the world today in the geopolitical environment, the macroeconomic environment. We are just being appropriately cautious,” Hobart said.While inflation has weighed on US consumers for months, their anxiety has not always translated into lower spending. The nearly $1tn in sales during last year’s holiday shopping season surpassed expectations.“Consumers are saying they do intend to pull back,” Tom Kilroy, a senior partner at McKinsey, told an industry conference in New York this week. “But what we’ve also seen over the last year is that they haven’t always followed up that intention with action.”
