J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Bert Colijn , Chief Economist, Netherlands, and Amrita Naik Nimbalkar , Economist, Global Macro The eurozone growth model, built on competitive exports of goods and access to cheap inputs, is under structural pressure. The energy price shocks, increased Chinese competitiveness, and the changing role of the US in the world economy work against the exceptionally high trade surplus that the eurozone has had since the global financial crisis. The Middle East war is likely to weaken the trade balance in the short run. But the problem is also a structural one, as European companies are facing stronger global competition, particularly from China, which has made rapid advances in several key sectors. Export growth is therefore becoming a less important engine of the economy, which affects the growth outlook. How the eurozone growth model is being reshaped The eurozone's economic model was reshaped after the global financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent euro crisis. Pre-2008, Germany ran large trade surpluses, which were counterbalanced by the trade deficits of countries in the south. When the euro crisis forced southern European countries to tighten their belts, their trade deficits disappeared. The policy response to the euro crisis always implicitly aimed to impose the German economic model on the rest of Europe. And at least for a while, it succeeded. Most of the eurozone effectively became more "German"; i.e., wage growth was more subdued, imports were modest and exports strengthened. This resulted in a trade surplus of around €50bn per quarter for the eurozone as a whole in the late 2010s. But this decade, the goods surplus has come under pressure. This is mainly due to more expensive energy, but the eurozone's competitive position has also weakened due to higher wages and increased external competition. Services trade has been less affected so far, but the impact on goods trade can be significant. For the years ahead, w...

Judge Blocks Trump Admin's Move To Halt Wind, Solar Approvals Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Landlords in London and the south-east of the UK are openly advertising flats and rooms exclusively for Muslim tenants – a practice that directly breaches the Equality Act 2010. The listings, spotted on Facebook, Gumtree and Telegram, use phrases such as “only for Muslims”, “for two Muslim boys or two Muslim girls” and “Muslims preferred”. One company, Roshan Properties, posted dozens of listings stating “prefer Muslim boy”, “one double room is available for Muslims” and “suitable for Punjabi boy”. Other ads appeal specifically to Punjabi and Gujarati speakers or people from Kerala and Haryana, while some job vacancies on the same platforms are restricted to men only. Gumtree listings include requests for “Hindus only” tenants, and at least one post specified: “The house should be alcohol and smoke free.” All of these advertisements appear to break the law. Landlords and letting agents are not allowed to specify a preference for a particular religion or race when letting a property. The Equality Act prohibits discrimination based on religion or belief, race and other protected characteristics. Landlords who breach it can be taken to civil court by a prospective tenant. 🚨 A Telegraph investigation has uncovered rental listings in London stating that only Muslim tenants would be accepted @CamillaTominey and @MitchellDurdin explain what they found out ⤵️ https://t.co/Nb7b41ELZJ pic.twitter.com/dhyPioZxni — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) April 22, 2026 The practice is widespread. Properties are being advertised across boroughs including Ilford, Newham, Barking, Dagenham, East Ham, Redbridge, Walthamstow, Upton Park, Harrow and Newbury Park on Facebook pages such as “Renting room in London for Muslims” and “Muslim rents”. Facebook removed at least one offending page after being alerted by the Telegraph investigation . One listing even appeared on an official estate agen...

President Donald Trump has not held back punches when discussing how he wants the Federal Reserve to proceed with interest rates. For much of his second term, Trump has publicly said that he wants the Fed to lower its benchmark lending rate well below its current level. Last year, Trump had the opportunity to appoint Stephen Miran to the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors. Miran had previously served as the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) under Trump. Since joining the Fed, Miran has been very clear that he wants the Fed to cut interest rates multiple times this year. However, due to recent events, Miran is contemplating changing his interest rate outlook. Are rate cuts now off the table at the Fed? Continue reading

Maps4Media processed and enhanced Sentinal-2 satellite imagery shows a broad view of the Strait of Hormuz between southern Iran and Oman's Musandam Peninsula, including surrounding islands, coastal terrain, and turquoise shallow-water zones at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Maps4media | Getty Images News | Getty Images Middle Eastern oil and gas producers are still scrambling to find and expand alternative routes for their exports, almost two months after the critical Strait of Hormuz was effectively shut to commercial traffic. There is still little clarity on when or how the U.S.-Iran conflict can be brought to an end, and both sides are using the Strait of Hormuz — a vital waterway through which around 20% of the world's oil was shipped before the war — as a bargaining chip in stop-start peace talks . The channel's double-blockade has supercharged global energy prices and highlighted the global energy market's vulnerability when key waterways and "chokepoints" — like the Strait of Hormuz, Panama Canal or Suez Canal — are blocked, whether by accident or by design. The IEA's Executive Director Fatih Birol told CNBC Thursday he felt like a "broken record" telling countries to diversify energy supply routes years before the current crisis. "The $110 trillion global economy can be taken hostage by a couple of hundred men with guns across a 50-kilometer stretch of strait — it doesn't make sense at all. We should make alternative routes, alternative options," he told CNBC's Steve Sedgwick. watch now VIDEO 4:11 04:11 ‘We are facing the biggest energy security threat in history': IEA chief Converge Risks around the Strait of Hormuz "were well understood" for years, Maisoon Kafafy, senior adviser to the Atlantic Council's Middle East programs, told CNBC, but the war has shown how deep those vulnerabilities are — and the need for change. "Hormuz has been the world's most documented energy chokepoint for decades, and its risks were mapped, modeled, and priced into infrastr...
