Why choose this series:

Nobel Prize laureate Robert Shiller once said markets are driven by narratives, as they change investors’ investment theses and their reasons for putting money to work. European Market Narratives helps you identify the common narratives that are dominating European markets today, and examines the data that substantiate or contradict such narratives.

This series applies a deep understanding of how financial markets work and how policymakers think to provide data-centric analysis of the ongoing stories that are shaping asset prices and investor expectations. It helps readers evaluate the strength of the common narratives, and the key data developments that might change the course of such narratives. From this, readers can capture strategic opportunities to help them add value over and above what is already priced into the market.

Whether you are a serious investor who is conscious of the interplay among narratives, data and asset prices, or an industry professional looking for a deep analysis on how European economies are trending, this series will have something for you.
