Europe's Stock Market Rollercoaster: Is This Rally Really That Rich?

Literally Who Has Time for a Trade War?

Okay dolls let's talk about Europe. I've been seeing all these headlines about the stock market being like totally obsessed with Europe right now. Apparently everyone's ditching the US 'cause of all the like political drama and those tariff things – honestly who even *has* time for that?! Like I'm way too busy running my empires and making sure my selfies are on point to worry about trade wars you know? But I hear the Stoxx Europe 600 is doing amazing up like 7% this year. Sounds like a good time to buy more Birkin bags if you ask me.

Is It All Just a Facetune Filter?

But like even I know things that seem too good to be true usually *are*. Some analysts are saying this whole rally is kinda fake like a really good Instagram filter. They're saying the idea that this whole global trade war is going to magically disappear is like super delusional. Apparently the US economy is slowing down and that's gonna like totally bum out Europe too. It’s like when you think your date is going well but then he starts talking about his ex…red flag!

Money Money Money: So Not Funny?

Bank of America is saying everyone's acting like these tariffs aren't gonna do anything which is like *so* not true. Companies are paying like a zillion dollars in tariffs and they're not even passing it on to us the consumers! It’s like when you try to sell old clothes on Kardashian Kloset and nobody’s buying! Basically their profits are getting squeezed which means less money for everyone. And less money definitely isn't funny.

Stay Neutral My Babies

So what's a girl to do? Well JPMorgan's kinda saying to chill out like take a moment of zen. They think the Eurozone is just gonna kinda hang out for a while as they try to figure out this whole trade negotiation thing. They're predicting the Stoxx Europe 600 will stay about where it is. Basically don't panic buy or sell. It’s like when you see a sale it might be tempting but remember stay neutral!

Central Banks to the Rescue?

Okay so here's where it gets interesting. The markets are hoping the central banks are gonna step in and save the day by like making money easier to borrow. It’s like when Kris Jenner comes to the rescue to solve all the problems. Some people at Barclays even think the worst of the tariff drama is already over. But the reality is that this whole situation might be more complicated than contouring my face! Stay tuned!

Vietnam? Never Met Her

Speaking of complicated apparently Adidas was all confident about handling tariffs but then this whole US Vietnam thing happened and now tariffs are like doubled. Experts are saying this is gonna hit the whole fashion industry hard. It’s like what?! Can't a girl just buy her shoes in peace? The moral of the story is like nothing is ever simple even when you're just trying to look fabulous.
