Core Viewpoint - The financial markets in Europe and the US experienced significant turmoil on September 2, with widespread sell-offs in stocks, currencies, and bonds, driven by concerns over fiscal sustainability and rising debt yields [1][2][4]. Group 1: European Market Reactions - The European market faced a "triple whammy" with the pound and euro sharply declining against the dollar, with the pound dropping 1.52% to 1.3340, marking its largest single-day decline since April 7 [2]. - Major European stock indices fell, with the German index down 1.68%, and the broader European Stoxx 600 index also declining over 1% [2]. - The UK 30-year bond yield surged to 5.69%, the highest level since 1998, reflecting market fears regarding the sustainability of public finances [4].

Group 3: Debt Market Dynamics - Rising yields in the European bond market are attributed to increased fiscal spending by governments in response to geopolitical and economic challenges, with analysts noting a "vicious cycle" of rising debt concerns leading to higher yields [4]. - The UK government is facing pressure to implement tax increases, which could further impact the pound and investor confidence [4]. - Historical trends indicate that September is typically a challenging month for long-term bonds, with a median loss of 2% over the past decade for bonds with maturities over 10 years [5]. Group 4: Inflation and Monetary Policy - Inflation pressures in both the UK and Eurozone are limiting the ability of central banks to lower interest rates, with the Eurozone's August CPI rising to 2.1%, above July's 2.0% [6]. - The core inflation rate in the Eurozone remains at 2.3%, indicating persistent inflationary pressures despite a slowdown in service sector inflation [6]. - Market expectations suggest a low probability of interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank before December, with only a 25% chance of a rate reduction [6].
