On July 21, the ECB announced that it would raise the interest rate on the deposit facility from -0.5% to 0%, effective July 27. By the end of that very month, banks in Germany had reduced their stock of banknotes and coins by a record EUR 11 billion. There is much to suggest that they will continue to reduce their non-interest-bearing cash holdings, as the ECB interest rate will rise further to 0.75% in mid-September. [mehr]

The two big drivers of corporate returns over the last decade have been upended in 2022. Specifically, corporates can no longer rely on higher debt or fatter profit margins as they have done post-financial crisis. Instead, to increase returns on equity, they might need to focus on generating more sales from existing assets - in other words, boost their asset turnover. [mehr]

Steigende Kosten und hohe Unsicherheit haben im zweiten Quartal zu einem rekordhohen Anstieg des Kreditvolumens mit Unternehmen und Selbstständigen geführt (EUR +35,4 Mrd.; +7,6% ggü. Vj.). Treiber waren kurzfristige Kredite an die Industrie. Alle Bankengruppen profitierten. Beispiellos auch das Plus der Kreditzinsen von 0,7-0,8 %-Punkten. Das Einlagenwachstum blieb klar zurück. Zum Ende der EZB-Käufe schnitten Anleiheemissionen (anders als Aktien-) nochmals gut ab. Die deutsche Konjunktur hat sich im zweiten Quartal spürbar verlangsamt (BIP +0,1% ggü. Vq.). Zwar kamen v.a. vom privaten und staatlichen Konsum positive Wachstumsbeiträge, diese wurden jedoch von Bau und Außenhandel großteils aufgezehrt. Ab H2 ist eine Rezession wahrscheinlich, da die Privathaushalte unter dem inflationsbedingt starken Kaufkraftverlust leiden und die Nettoexporte negativ bleiben dürften. Wir haben unsere BIP-Prognose für 2023 deutlich nach unten angepasst. [mehr]

Am 21. Juli verkündete die EZB die Anhebung des Zinssatzes für die Einlagenfazilität von -0,5% auf 0%, gültig ab dem 27. Juli. Noch bis Ende desselben Monats haben die Banken in Deutschland ihren Kassenbestand an Banknoten und Münzen um rekordverdächtige EUR 11 Mrd. abgebaut. Es spricht viel dafür, dass sie ihren unverzinsten Barbestand weiter zurückfahren werden, da der EZB-Zinssatz ab Mitte September sogar bei 0,75% liegen wird. [mehr]

New Podzept Podcast. The big bust in share prices of Alternative Food stocks has echoes of the dot.com boom & bust in 2000. Yet, just as the bursting of the tech bubble did not stop the inevitable development and adoption of technology, Deutsche Bank Research see the Food Tech revolution as likely continuing despite the cooling of last year’s market euphoria. Olga Cotaga and Luke Templeman, both Thematic Research Analysts, discuss the growth potential in the industry as it continues to simmer, but with the potential to change food as we know it. [mehr]

For the financial sector, sustainable finance is steadily moving up the priority list. It is about incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into finance. The global volume of ESG-labelled assets grew to USD 35 tr in 2020 and may reach USD 41 tr by the end of this year. Despite strong growth, sustainable finance still faces obstacles such as the absence of a universally accepted definition of ESG and a lack of data on ESG metrics. Regulation is trying to keep pace with market dynamics to facilitate the flow of funds into sustainable activities. Key initiatives include the establishment of taxonomies, disclosure rules and product-related regulation. In the short term, sustainable finance faces headwinds from adverse macroeconomic conditions and emerging regulatory requirements, but the fundamental growth drivers remain intact. [mehr]

In an unusual constellation, the banking industry is at the same time suffering and benefiting from the current difficult macroeconomic situation. Inflation is driving up expenses, but also triggering a monetary policy normalisation which has fuelled a jump in net interest income. Meanwhile, recession fears require higher loan loss provisions. The net effect has been manageable so far, but is hard to foresee in the second half of the year. The largest capital distributions to shareholders since the financial crisis have pushed the CET1 and leverage ratios lower, though they remain at robust levels. Balance sheet growth has accelerated due to buoyant corporate and mortgage lending, but this may not last given the looming economic slowdown and further interest rate increases. [mehr]
