U.S. Pre-Market | European and U.S. Stock Indices Rise Across the Board; Moody's Says Global Economy Will Not Enter Recession in Next Two Years

Luis de Guindos, Vice President of the European Central Bank (ECB), stated on Thursday (November 14) that the risk of recession facing Europe is very low; however, he urged governments across the eurozone to help revitalize the regional economy. As the European economy continues to languish, expectations remain for further monetary easing by the ECB. On Thursday, the euro hit a new low against the U.S. dollar—1.0989—its weakest since October 10; subsequently, unexpectedly positive German and eurozone economic data, coupled with remarks from New York Fed President John Williams that revived market expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, drove a rebound in the euro-dollar exchange rate. De Guindos noted that data indicate Germany narrowly avoided recession in Q3, yet overall eurozone growth remains below expectations, requiring close monitoring by the ECB. Without stimulus measures, authorities would need to confront the risk of ‘Japanification’—prolonged low growth and low inflation. Bank of America warned in a report that the Federal Reserve’s latest bond-buying program may harbor significant risks—and could even trigger the next financial crisis—particularly as the Fed deploys quantitative easing (QE) while explicitly telling investors this is *not* QE. JD.com reported adjusted earnings per ADS of RMB 2.08 for Q3, surpassing the market consensus estimate of RMB 1.22. Eurozone CPI rose 0.1% month-on-month in October, below the expected 0.2% and unchanged from the prior month’s 0.2%. Year-on-year, eurozone CPI rose 0.7% in October, matching expectations. Analysts commented that although prices for services, food, and tobacco/alcohol surged 1.5%, energy prices fell 3.1%, causing the October monthly CPI print to miss expectations.
