[ECB's Stable Interest Rates Benefit Bank Stocks] ⑴ Some argue that the ECB's decision to maintain the 2% interest rate for the third consecutive time is still beneficial for bank stocks. ⑵ Analysts believe that loan growth and an upward-sloping yield curve are key factors supporting improved bank profitability and valuations. ⑶ Their earnings forecasts for the European banking sector are based on the assumption that interest rates will remain at this level until 2028. ⑷ Even a further 25 basis point rate cut would have a limited impact on profitability due to the increased resilience of banks' net interest income. ⑸ Currently, every 25 basis point change in interest rates only affects about 1% of industry profits.

[Stallion Weakens: Downgraded UK Productivity Forecasts Raise Tax Hike Risk] ⑴ The pound continued to weaken against major currencies on Friday (October 31). The pound performed poorly this week as investors worried that Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves might face a political backlash in the budget to be announced in late November due to escalating fiscal risks. ⑵ The UK Office for Budget Responsibility recently predicted that overall productivity in the country may decline by 0.3%, a scenario expected to widen the budget deficit to £21 billion by the 2029-2030 fiscal year. ⑶ This situation has exacerbated market concerns that Chancellor Reeves may be forced to break self-imposed fiscal rules, potentially further weakening household confidence. Analysis suggests that the government already faces a £22 billion funding gap, which can only be filled by increasing borrowing or raising worker taxes. ⑷ Choosing either a single or combined solution would result in the Chancellor reneging on her explicit promises – the Labour Party pledged in its election manifesto not to increase income tax, National Insurance tax, or worker VAT, and explicitly stated that it would not rely on borrowing to maintain daily public spending.

Daily chart technical analysis shows the pair is undergoing a consolidation phase, currently rebounding from the lower edge of a rectangle pattern. ⑵ As the pair remains stable above the 9-day exponential moving average (1.3978), short-term momentum is relatively strong.
