EU: Commission President Outlines 'ReArm Europe' Plan
Mar-04 08:43
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has outlined the Commission's 'ReArm Europe' plan intended to significantly boost defence and security spending at the EU and member state level.
- One proposal is to activate the 'national escape clause' of the Stability and Growth Pact that will allow member states to increase domestic defence spending without entering the excessive deficit procedure.
- Proposes a new instrument that can put forwards EUR150B in loans to member states for defence investment. VdL: 'It will help member states to pool demand and buy together'. Claims that it can be used to the benefit of Ukraine.
- Third proposal seeks to allow member states to decide if they want to use cohesion policy funding to go towards defence spending (this would usually be used for infrastructure spending, or social or business investment).
- VdL also claims that ReArm Europe will seek to increase private sector investment in defence and security.
- Claims that the programme "could mobilise close to EUR800B for a safe and resilient Europe."
The activation of the escape clause and repurposing of cohesion funding was reported on 2 March by MNI's Policy team (see 'MNI: European Commission Eyes EUR100Bln Defence Tool-Source', 2 March, for access contact sales@marketnews.com). EU leaders will meet for a special European Council summit in Brussels on 6 March, with defence, security, and support for Ukraine.
NOK: Oil and Gas Pullback Weighs On NOK
Mar-04 08:41
Weaker brent crude and natural gas prices have weighed on the NOK this morning, with EURNOK 0.5% higher on the session.
- The rally in EURNOK sees trendline resistance drawn from the August 5th 2024 high (11.7754 today) pierced, with the Jan 21 high at 11.8260 the next topside target.
- NOKSEK has seen a more modest 0.15% sell-off, with the SEK also under pressure amid today’s pullback in European equities following yesterday’s US tariff implementation on Mexico, Canada and China. However, yesterday’s close below key multi-year support at 0.9500 was an important bearish development, with rallies short of the 20-day EMA at 0.9606 considered corrective.
- Crude markets have extended yesterday’s decline following reports that OPEC will go ahead with its output normalisation from April counter to market expectation. The impact of US tariffs and retaliatory measures on global demand is also weighing on prices.
- Meanwhile, TTF prices are also softer with storage withdrawals falling below normal amid warm weather this week while progress towards peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is assessed.
