Snippets from Barclays, in summary:

  • Shorter term we worry the ECB will need to cut more than expected to stabilise the economy
  • seeing only slow growth in the European Union

And, not just the ECB that'll keep cutting, Barclays is bullish US equities despite stocks being near record highs:

  • path of least resistance remains to trade higher
  • global rate cutting cycle and China stimulus is keeping a soft landing for the economy on track
