Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Eurozone September flash inflation surprised upside at 3.8% y/y on energy and services; French OAT yield surpassed 4.9% and HICP hit 3.4%. US Q2 GDP was revised up to 2.2% annualised, but September payrolls rose only 29,000 and unemployment climbed to 4.2%; core PCE held at 3.0%. BNP Paribas expects the Fed to hike 25 bp in December, not rush. UK Q2 growth was revised to 0.5% q/q. Brazil faces an October 25 runoff.

Key arguments
- Eurozone inflation surprise is driven by energy and services, with non-energy industrial goods momentum firming at a three-year high 3m/3m annualised rate.
- US labour data softened markedly, but solid GDP and resilient consumption support one more Fed hike rather than an imminent move.
- French budget consolidation targets a 5% of GDP deficit, yet OAT yields and the OAT-Bund spread spiked, showing market scepticism.
- Global manufacturing PMIs improved, led by AI-related demand in Taiwan and Korea, while Brazil's PMI slumped to 44.8.

Main risks
- Re-escalation risks in the Gulf and Red Sea could push energy prices higher and renew inflation pressure.

- Brazil's runoff and slowing economy pose a difficult policy mix of fiscal consolidation and monetary normalisation.
