European equity portfolio managers Robert<\/strong> Schramm-Fuchs<\/strong>, Tom Lemaigre<\/strong> and Marc Schartz<\/strong> share the key messages from the US-EU trade deal, which should spark renewed optimism in European markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"U.S<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As anticipated, the US-EU trade deal has landed ahead of the 1 August deadline, averting what could have been an escalation in transatlantic trade tensions. The final framework agreement sets a 15% baseline tariff on most EU goods entering the US, lower than the feared 30% fallback rate and well below the 50% threat floated earlier this year. This outcome is broadly better-than-feared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 15% baseline tariff includes automobiles, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors \u2013 important products for Brussels. Steel and aluminium tariffs remain at 50% for now. Certain sectors were spared; aircraft and components, while select chemicals and key agricultural materials will face zero-for-zero tariffs. Also part of the deal are pledges for the EU to purchase US$750 billion in US energy; investment of US$600 billion in the US; and  \u201cvast amounts\u201d of military equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some details remain vague, the deal signals a clear intent to rebalance trade while maintaining strategic alignment. Market reaction to the deal this morning has so far been positive, with recent rotation themes remaining intact. The deal removes a major overhang, allowing investors to refocus on the broader set of structural and cyclical drivers shaping the outlook for Europe. Notably, this includes the growing momentum behind EU-wide initiatives aimed at easing financial regulation, advancing capital markets and reducing bureaucratic friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often in these market phases that leadership of stocks and sectors changes. We have reallocated to sectors that are at the cheaper, more cyclical and more value-end of the spectrum. Stocks priced for perma-recession or long-term poor sector prospects tend to experience the greatest change: from being \u2018left for dead\u2019 to \u2018still alive and kicking\u2019. Moreover, market breadth typically widens, i.e. instead of a narrow leadership group, many stocks would participate in a broad-based bull market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
