Topic of the week: Greece: the comeback!

  • Greece’s rating continues to improve. This is anything but a surprise;
  • The trajectory owes much to cyclical aspects and in particular to the rebound from the crisis of the last decade;
  • The legacy is heavy, but the debt trajectory is one of the most ambitious and therefore justifies the improvement of the rating;
  • There are also developments, particularly on the ESG front, that suggest that Greece has changed dramatically.

Market review: Higher inflation weighs on markets

  • They anticipate higher key rates for longer;

Chart of the week

europe-natural-gas-price-vs-carbon-price-6-months-future-contract

The price of carbon emissions (improperly called “pollution rights”) exceeded €100 per tonne for the first time last week.
The good news is that this price increase is a strong incentive to decarbonize the economy. It is becoming more and more expensive to use fossil fuels. Good news in the long term.

The bad news is that this increase is partly due to the fact that the gas shortage has led to a significant use of coal and therefore to significant purchases on carbon emissions. Bad news in the short term.

Figure of the week

The word “inflation” is used 94 times in the Fed’s minutes.

The word “recession” 4 times.

Equity markets: earnings driving the rally, vulnerabilities to monitor
Reading time : 15 min.
INSIGHTS MARKETS
At the start of the last quarter, equity markets continued to rise despite a turbulent environment: crisis in the Middle East, sovereign debt tensions and rise in long-term interest rates. Ostrum AM's scenario from last November is largely borne out: continued rise, volatile first half, year driven by the rebound in profits, even if the paths taken were not those anticipated.In an uncertain environment, earnings growth has become the main performance driver, while valuation multiples are contracting. The question is no longer about the direction of the markets but about the strength of the drivers: investment cycle in AI, record profitability, markets’ ability to absorb the rise in interest rates.Source: Ostrum Asset Management, October 2026.
