EUROPEAN MARKETS


GERMANY – with a manufacturing PMI print of 49.8 in JAN (vs 46 in DEC), there are very few countries in our GIP Model (Growth, Inflation, Policy) that look as good as Germany does right now = Growth Accelerating, Inflation Decelerating. Contrary to popular Keynesian belief, there is big upside to a strong currency – and that is the Euro right now, new high at $1.36 vs USD.
