Rheinmetall opportunity of 25% upsideRheinmetall dipped today due to concerns of the European "far-right" (half of them centrists lmao) wanting peace with Russia in the future. This doesn't change anything for Rheinmetall though. Key facts: - Earnings grew by 21.8% over the 2023. - Earnings are forecast to grow 26.06% per year. - Revenue expected to grow 40% this year. - New deal with Continental Ag. to hire new employees to fulfill the demand. - Fair value estimated at 1100-1200 EUR per share. War scenarios: - A new conflict means growth of 5% + for each arms dealer as seen many times. - If the war in Ukraine continues, Rheinmetall gets more deals. - If the war ends, European countries will need to replenish ammunition storages, which is expected to take up to 10-15 years. Additionaly: - Both Trump and Kennedy Jr. expressed how European NATO members should start to fulfill their obligations of 2% GDP budget for army if they want the US to protect them. - Around 17-18 countries do not meet this obligation yet, most of them being customers of Rheinmetall already. - The total combined deficit of these countries sits around 44 billion USD as of 2024.

Macro Monday 55 - European gateway to M.East & Russia Macro Monday 55 Turkey - Europe’s gateway to the Middle East and Russia Turkey holds a vital strategic position as the bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Turkey’s economy has been making leaps and bounds over the past decade and the war in Ukraine has resulted in significant increase in trade through the country, benefiting its logistic companies and economic status. As one of the main corridors from Europe to the Middle East and beyond, let’s see what this blossoming trade Centre can offer us. Russia’s Trade Enabler Turkey has become a crucial transit point for Russian goods, especially since the war. Its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia allows it to facilitate trade routes between all these regions. As a result, Russian produce has increasingly passed through Turkey, benefiting both countries economically, and indirectly benefitting Europe. In June 2023, Turkey’s exports to Russia increased by 23.9%, reaching $848.4 million—a substantial surge compared to the previous year’s figure of $684.9 million. Moreover, during the first half of the year (January to June), Turkey’s exports to Russia more than doubled, reaching $4.9 billion compared to last year’s $2.6 billion. Despite a decline in imports, Russia remains Turkey’s largest trading partner in terms of goods purchased. Russia’s favor to Turkey during the currency crisis, including postponing a natural gas debt and recognizing Turkey as a reliable gas route to Europe, has further strengthened their economic ties Robust GDP Growth Turkey’s GDP expanded by 4.5% in 2023, driven by strong private consumption, increased investment, and government spending. Additionally, in 2021, Turkey achieved an impressive 11% annual GDP growth, making it the fastest-growing economy globally for the 2021 year. For the 2024 year a GDP growth rate of between 2.9% and 4% is expected depending on the authority advising. Amazingly, according to Trading Economics, the GDP annual growth rate in the first quarter of 2024 was 5.7%, a significant acceleration from the previous quarter. On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the GDP rose by 2.4% in Q1. Demographics With a population of 85.8 million, Turkey has a sizable labor force and a young demographic profile. As of 2023, the median age of the Turkish population is 34 years, up from 28.3 in 2007. This youthful demographic profile contributes to productivity and economic dynamism. Produce and Exports Turkey’s top exports include refined petroleum oils, cars, jewelry, automotive parts, and trucks. Turkey has a complex and varied array of produce that contribute significantly to its versatile economy. Turkeys produce and exports are so diverse that they don’t appear to be a global leader in any one item, however In 2023, Turkey exported $12.3 billion worth of Refined Petroleum, making it the 24th largest exporter of this product globally. Refined Petroleum accounted for 12.1% of Turkeys total exports. Poverty Reduction Rapid economic growth has led to substantial poverty reduction. The poverty rate decreased from above 20% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2021. Investment Climate Turkey’s business-friendly environment attracts foreign direct investment (FDI). It offers incentives, a skilled workforce, and access to diverse markets. We can see that it has even bolstered relations with Russia and Europe during their conflict, being a go between, between the two. Tourism Tourism plays a crucial role, with Turkey being a popular destination for travelers and medical tourism. Turkey’s efforts to enhance its healthcare sector have positioned it as a prominent player in European medical tourism and now other continents are starting to travel here for affordable medical procedures. Resilience and Adaptation Despite challenges, Turkey continues to adapt to global economic shifts, such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, emphasizing sustainability and resilience.

Conflicted Euro Caught Between Hawkish Fed and Political IssuesThe Eurozone's currency, the Euro, finds itself in a precarious position, buffeted by two powerful forces: the tightening grip of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the ever-present political turmoil within the European Union. Navigating this treacherous landscape presents a significant challenge for investors and traders alike. The Fed Talks A Rising Tide Sinks All Boats The primary driver of the Euro's woes is the aggressive monetary policy shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In response to surging inflation, the Fed has embarked on a series of interest rate hikes, making the U.S. dollar a more attractive proposition for investors. Higher interest rates in the U.S. entice investors to park their funds in dollar-denominated assets, leading to a stronger dollar. This, in turn, weakens the Euro through a simple principle: currency exchange rates operate on a relative basis. A stronger dollar makes the Euro comparatively less valuable. The Fed's actions have a ripple effect across global financial markets. As the dollar strengthens, it attracts capital away from other currencies, including the Euro. This capital flight weakens the Euro's value and creates a vicious cycle. Additionally, a stronger dollar makes Eurozone exports more expensive on the global market, potentially dampening economic growth in the region. European Internal Divisions Weigh Heavy Adding to the Euro's woes are the ongoing political uncertainties within the European Union. The bloc faces several internal challenges, including: • The Rise of Euroscepticism: Populist movements that question the benefits of European integration are gaining traction in some member states. This creates uncertainty about the future of the Eurozone and discourages investors from committing to the Euro. • Disunity on Fiscal Policy: Member states often have differing government spending and taxation priorities. This can make it difficult for the European Central Bank (ECB), the Eurozone's central bank, to implement a cohesive monetary policy that benefits all members. • The Ukraine War: The ongoing war in Ukraine has added a layer of economic and political instability to the region. The war's impact on energy prices and supply chains further dampens the Eurozone's economic prospects. These internal divisions weaken the Euro's image as a stable and reliable currency. Investors are more likely to favor the dollar, which is seen as a safe haven during times of global uncertainty. Steering Clear of the Dollar's Influence: Alternative Strategies While the Euro's near-term outlook appears uncertain, traders looking to speculate on the currency should consider strategies that minimize the impact of the dollar's dominance. Here are some potential approaches: • Focus on Eurozone Fundamentals: Analyze the economic health of individual Eurozone member states. Look for countries with strong economic fundamentals, such as low unemployment and healthy trade surpluses. Currencies of these countries may outperform the Euro itself. • Play the Spread: Instead of directly trading the Euro against the dollar, consider trading it against other currencies within the Eurozone itself. This approach could benefit from internal economic disparities within the bloc. • Focus on Long-Term Trends: The Eurozone, despite its challenges, remains a large and economically powerful region. Long-term investors may choose to hold the Euro based on their belief in the region's eventual economic recovery and political stability. Conclusion: A Currency at a Crossroads The Euro's current predicament highlights the complex interplay between global economic forces and regional political realities. While the dollar's strength and internal European divisions pose significant challenges, opportunities still exist for investors who can navigate these volatile conditions. By focusing on Eurozone fundamentals, exploring alternative trading strategies, and considering long-term trends, traders can potentially find success even as the Euro is in a conflicted battle.

Euro Slumps on Populist Surge: A Trader's Guide to Uncertainty The European political landscape has just thrown a curveball at the financial markets. A recent poll indicating a rise in populist and eurosceptic parties has sent shockwaves through the system, triggering a significant drop in the euro. This newfound uncertainty presents both risks and opportunities for traders, demanding a strategic shift in approach. The poll results paint a picture of a fractured Europe, with anxieties swirling about the future unity and stability of the European Union. Investors, understandably jittery, have reacted swiftly by pulling back on euro-denominated assets. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the euro's value against other major currencies. The coming days and weeks are likely to be marked by continued volatility in the eurozone, creating a complex environment for traders to navigate. Adaptability is paramount in this climate. With the potential for further political escalation, the euro's depreciation could accelerate. In such a scenario, shorting the euro – essentially betting on its decline – could be a viable strategy. However, this is a tactic that requires meticulous planning and precise timing. Traders must carefully weigh the risks involved against the profit potential. To make informed decisions, staying abreast of developments is crucial. Closely monitoring the political climate and key economic indicators that could influence the euro is essential. Real-time news updates, expert analysis, and access to reliable data sources are your weapons of choice in these turbulent waters. Additionally, implementing robust risk management techniques will be your safety net, protecting your investments from unforeseen market swings. The current situation presents a unique opportunity for astute traders. By evaluating existing positions, considering the potential benefits of shorting the euro, and formulating a well-defined strategy, you can transform these challenges into opportunities. While the path ahead may be unclear, adopting the right approach can empower you to thrive in this volatile market. By following these steps and leveraging our resources, you can transform uncertainty into an advantage and emerge from this market turbulence a winner.

Macro Monday 39 - Euro Area Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI)Macro Monday 39 Euro Area Economic Sentiment Indicator (Next Release is this Wednesday 27th March 2024) Last week we covered the the Euro Area ZEW Economic Sentiment Index (the "ZEW Index") and learned that the sentiment data for the ZEW Index comes from 350 economists spanning the Euro Area (20 of the 27 EU member states that use the Euro currency). The ZEW Index attempts to provide a sentiment lead with economists factoring in their 6 month forward projections into the sentiment data. This week we look at a different more current sentiment indicator, the Euro Area Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI). The data for the ESI is derived from the businesses and consumers of all 27 EU Member States. The ESI therefore has a larger data set to the 20 countries covered in the ZEW Index. The ESI is closer to the truth of what businesses and consumers are currently experiencing on the ground across Europe. The ESI is not forward looking like the ZEW index, the ESI should be considered a coincident indicator presenting the current state of economic sentiment among businesses and consumers across the EU. In any event we can still use the ESI data and the chart to identify trends and to know where sentiment stands when it is released each month. Interestingly, at present the ESI figure is more negative than the ZEW Index. The ZEW is in positive sentiment territory (forward looking) whilst the ESI is firmly in negative sentiment territory (current outlook). Based on each data sets objective, you would think that the ESI would move into positive territory over the coming 6 months based on the forward looking positive ZEW Index. No guarantees of course. We can watch this as it plays out in real time and see if the ESI follows the ZEW Index. Lets have a closer look at the ESI The Euro Area Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) is a measure created by the European Commission to gauge economic confidence across the Euro Area. The survey data for the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) is initially collected at the national level for each country within the Euro Area. These individual country results are then aggregated to create the overall ESI, which reflects the economic sentiment for the entire EU (all 27 countries). The data is also seasonally adjusted to account for regular seasonal variations and provide a clearer picture of the underlying economic trends. The data is derived from survey responses from the following economic sectors in each country (with weightings); 1. Industry (40%) 2. Services (30%) 3. Consumers (20%) 4. Retail (5%) 5. Construction (5%) Balances are constructed as the difference between the percentages of respondents giving positive and negative replies. The ESI data is scaled to a long-term average of 100 with a standard deviation of 10. This means that the average sentiment over time is set at 100. As the ESI’s scale centers around a mean of 100 values above this suggest higher-than-average confidence, while those below indicate lower confidence. It’s seasonally adjusted to reflect consistent economic trends. The Chart (above subject chart) The chart follows the structure discussed above and we have split the chart by color as follows: >100 = Above Average Economic Sentiment🟢Green <100 = Above Average Economic Sentiment🔴 Red ▫️ As you can see on the chart we made a record low in pessimism in May 2020 at 58.7 which was closely followed by a record high in optimism in Oct 2021 at 119.5. ▫️ The chart has arrows that are 17pts in length. You will see the arrows across the chart whereby if there was a greater than 17pt drop from the green zone into red the red zone, this historically has coincided with recession ▫️ The most recent drop from🟢119.5 in Oct 2021 to 🔴93.9 in Oct 2023 is a drop of 25.6pts, greater than the 17pt typical recession drop. "This time might be different" may actually apply because we had all time highs in sentiment in Oct 2021, however that does not detract from the fact we are currently firmly in negative economic sentiment sub 100 at 95.4. ▫️ You can see that any time we have fallen below the 85 level (red dotted line) we have confirmed a recession. This does not mean that you need a sub 84 reading for a recession, only that when this has occurred in the past, it only occurred during some of the deeper recessions. A quick note on the Euro Area terminology as this was bugging me as the ESI covers all 27 EU member states Euro Area Terminology? The term “Euro Area Economic Sentiment Indicator” can be somewhat misleading because the ESI indeed covers all 27 EU Member States, not just those in the 20 in the Euro Area or Eurozone. The name likely persists because the ESI is particularly significant for the Euro Area, where economic policies are closely aligned and the shared currency means that economic sentiment has direct implications for monetary policy. However, the ESI’s broader EU-wide scope allows for a comprehensive view of economic sentiment across the entire European Union, which is valuable for comparative analysis and policy-making at the EU level. Thank for coming along again, if you like the content and find it informative please let me know PUKA

Crypto Regulations: How MiCA Will Affect EU TradersIn the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, the European Union has taken a significant and important step forward with the introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This groundbreaking regulatory framework marks a pivotal moment for the crypto market within the EU, promising to bring much-needed clarity and stability to an industry that has long been likened to the Wild West due to its volatility and lack of standardization. The European Union is a leader in creating legislation for emerging technologies. This became clear with the introduction of GDPR, which protects internet users’ personal data, the AI Act that aims to protect citizens of the EU from malpractice, such as cognitive manipulation of people and social scoring, and now - MiCA. Paving the way forward for others, the EU is evolving its digital legislation frameworks faster than other unions or countries. This article delves into how MiCA will reshape the landscape for EU traders, impacting everything - from the way they interact with crypto assets to the broader market dynamics they navigate daily. Why do we need regulations like MiCA? If there are no regulations, markets can run wild and experience giant increases, however when the fun is over and people lose money to fraud and even large-scale bankruptcy of exchanges - investors, especially institutional ones, will not dare place their money in crypto projects and companies. And since for investors, money is trust - the cryptocurrency market is doomed without proper regulation. On the flip side, extremely stringent and disorganized legislation can lead to the same outcome. Countries struggle with the abstract nature of cryptocurrencies, and many have expressed an outright desire to ban them, seeing as it is the easier option. That is why MiCA is a well-devised framework for others to follow - It is focused and comprehensive. Some may argue that cryptocurrencies are meant to be decentralized, unregulated and follow a laissez-faire approach. While this is possible, more so for some cryptocurrencies than others, there can be no growth in these markets as new projects need to have banking and investors behind them to realize their blockchain-based ideas. It is also unrealistic to think that such a clandestine financial system will never cross paths with the regular banking system. What exactly is MiCA? The inception of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is rooted in the European Union's recognition of the growing significance of cryptocurrencies and the associated risks in an unregulated environment. The primary catalyst for MiCA's development was the need for regulatory clarity in the burgeoning crypto market, which had been expanding rapidly without a standardized regulatory framework since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009. This lack of regulation posed risks such as fraud, market manipulation and financial instability. These concerns were heightened by incidents like the surge in initial coin offerings (ICOs), the capitulation of multiple large exchanges and the ironic instability of stable-coins. MiCA was proposed to provide a harmonized regulatory framework for crypto-assets that are not covered under existing EU financial legislation. The objective was to safeguard investors, maintain financial stability, and promote innovation within a secure and transparent environment. By introducing clear rules, MiCA aims to legitimize the crypto market, making it safer and more attractive for investors and consumers while mitigating the potential for financial crime and market manipulation. This move towards regulation reflects a global trend of governments and financial authorities worldwide striving to balance the benefits of innovation in the digital asset space with the need for consumer protection and market integrity. As such, MiCA represents a significant step by the EU in establishing a comprehensive regulatory regime for crypto-assets, setting a precedent that could influence global standards in cryptocurrency regulation. Key Points of MiCA MiCA introduces several key provisions that are set to transform the crypto-asset landscape in the European Union. The areas that are discussed and regulated the most are the areas where incidents have happened and people have lost their funds. It is important not to make the same mistakes as before. Exchanges & Brokerages One of the primary aspects of MiCA is the establishment of stringent authorization requirements for crypto-asset service providers. Under MiCA, any entity aiming to offer services related to crypto-assets, including trading, custody, or advisory services, must obtain authorization from one of the EU's national financial regulators. This process is designed to ensure that providers adhere to high standards of operational conduct, governance, and consumer protection outlined in the legislation. Crypto exchanges have gone bankrupt, been hacked or shut down abruptly in crypto’s short history. The aim of legislatures is to prevent these collapses or stop them in their tracks. Initial Public / Coin Offerings Another fundamental component of MiCA is the regulation of public offerings of crypto-assets. Companies intending to offer crypto-assets to the public are required to publish a detailed white paper. This document must provide clear, fair, and comprehensive information about the risks involved, ensuring that potential buyers are well-informed. The regulations aim to prevent misleading practices and enhance transparency in the market. Until now, many ICOs do publish white papers, however they can be purely fictional, written to trick the untrained eye into thinking the project is professionally done. Furthermore, this official process of submitting a white paper will ensure that the people behind the project are known. This will prevent people from faking their identities in order to anonymously scam their clients. Stablecoins MiCA also specifically addresses the regulation of stablecoins, which are categorized as either e-money tokens (EMTs) or asset-referenced tokens (ARTs). EMTs are stablecoins pegged to the value of a fiat currency, such as USDT, USDC and BUSD. ARTs are linked to other assets, such as WETH, WBTC. MiCA mandates that stablecoins must maintain adequate reserves and adhere to governance standards. Furthermore, there are stringent rules for stablecoins not pegged to EU currencies, including a cap on the number of transactions per day, aimed at preventing these assets from undermining the Euro. This approach to stablecoins is a response to concerns about their potential impact on financial stability and monetary policy. These concerns are justified, following the collapse of a few large market cap stable-coins during 2022. Through these provisions, MiCA aims to establish a secure and transparent environment for the trading and use of crypto-assets, ensuring that the rights of investors are protected while fostering innovation in the sector. Conclusion The introduction of MiCA by the European Union represents a watershed moment for the crypto-asset market. By establishing a harmonized regulatory framework, MiCA seeks to provide clarity, enhance market integrity, and protect investors, all while fostering an environment conducive to innovation. For EU traders, these regulations offer a more secure and transparent trading landscape, albeit with increased compliance obligations. The provisions on stablecoins, in particular, demonstrate a nuanced approach to different types of crypto-assets. As MiCA comes into full effect, its influence is expected to extend beyond the EU, potentially setting a precedent for global crypto-asset regulation. For traders and investors, staying informed and adapting to these regulatory changes will be key to navigating the evolving crypto market landscape.

EURO Area Consumer Confidence - Confidence SLUMPSEURO Area Consumer Confidence - ECONOMICS:EUCCI The lower the minus figure on this chart the better the confidence is in the EU area (closer to zero the better). Rep: -16.10 🚨 Worse than Expected🚨 Exp: -14.30 Pre: -15.00 The Chart ▫️ We have a long term general downtrend in EU Consumer Confidence since 1985. ▫️ Prior to recessions we formed lower highs (red arrows on the chart) ▫️ We have not made a new all time high since Jan 2000 ▫️ Confidence has currently stalled and turned slightly lower coming in lower than expectations of -14.3 and instead coming in at -16.10. What's driving the data and how to read it? The Consumer Economic Sentiment Indicator (Consumer ESI) gauges the optimism levels among consumers in the EU. Conducted through phone surveys, the indicator encompasses 23,000 households, with variable sample sizes across the region. The survey includes questions on the current economic and financial conditions, savings intentions, and expectations related to consumer price indexes, the general economic situation, and major purchases of durable goods. The Consumer ESI is measured on a scale from -100 to 100, where -100 represents an extreme lack of confidence, 0 signifies neutrality, and 100 indicates an extreme level of confidence. Final Word The ESI indicator provides valuable insights into consumer sentiment, reflecting perceptions and expectations that can influence economic behavior and decision-making in the EU. Consumer sentiment is low in Europe with sentiment remaining below March 2022 levels with little sign of recovery as it stands coming in lower than expectations. Obviously with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, EU migrant crisis and Germany having full year of GDP decline for 2023 (Europe's largest economy), one can understand why the sentiment is so low. WE can watch for a turning point and a new high lower than -15 for a change in the right direction. PUKA
