STOXX 600 SET FOR FURTHER 10% DRAWDOWN - BOFA
Europe's STOXX 600 index is about 4.5% below its peak reached in June, even after rallying 2.9% in the last four trading days, but Bank of America Global Research is sticking to its guns and sees more weakness on the horizon.
"We remain positioned for a further weakening in growth momentum on a softening labour market," BofA European equity strategists write in a note.
It was last Friday's U.S. labour market report that spooked markets, sending global equities tumbling, as the unemployment rate rose again and payrolls increased by less than expected.
That jump in the unemployment rate triggered the Sahm Rule, a notable recession indicator.
Weak data, which until recently had been positive for equity markets as it was seen boosting chances of Fed rate cuts, suddenly became negative for the market as hard landing risks increased.
"Macro conditions remain ambiguous, keeping both optimistic and pessimistic readings viable," BofA writes.
"We find the pessimistic interpretation more convincing, given that in past cycles a continued rise in the unemployment rate has reliably led to macro trouble."
BofA, therefore, stays negative on European equities, expecting the drag from rising risk premia and EPS downgrades to outweigh the boost from lower discount rates in response to more dovish central banks.
The bank projects the STOXX 600 to drop to 450 by the first quarter of next year, implying a further 10% drawdown from current levels.
