Blackstone to invest $500bln in Europe over next decade, Bloomberg reports
Blackstone plans to invest up to $500 billion in Europe over the next decade, CEO Steve Schwarzman told Bloomberg Television in an interview on Tuesday, underscoring market confidence in the region's prospects. Schwarzman said Europe represents a "major opportunity" for the world's largest alternative asset manager, which oversees assets worth over $1 trillion. There has been a surge in investor optimism about the region, driven by European governments' push to increase military spending and revive a sluggish private equity market. With U.S. President Donald Trump reshaping global alliances and trade policies, Europe is actively pursuing new avenues for economic growth, potentially creating promising investment opportunities for firms such as Blackstone. The European Union, for example, is ramping up its defense spending to revitalize a sector historically overlooked by private investors. Since 2020, the U.S. and Canada have attracted 83% of all private equity and venture capital-backed aerospace and defense investment, according to S&P. Europe is starting to change its approach, "which we think will result in higher growth rates. So this has worked out amazingly well for us," Schwarzman told Bloomberg. Schwarzman supported Trump in the U.S. presidential election last year, according to a report from Axios. He has long been viewed as an ally of the president. Trump's whiplash tariffs have, however, prompted several businesses to optimize their supply chains to reduce U.S. exposure. "The U.S. administration's tariffs - combined with any retaliatory measures from its trading partners - will deliver a supply shock to the U.S. and a demand shock to the rest of the world, including China and Europe," said Blerina Uruçi, chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price. ($1 = 0.8753 euros)

European bond yields slip ahead of second day of US-China trade talks
Euro zone government bond yields edged lower on Tuesday, but hovered not far from the previous day's levels, as markets eyed a second day of trade talks between the United States and China. Traders will also focus on a host of European Central Bank officials speaking this week after the central bank cut interest rates last week by 25 basis points to 2%, as expected, but signalled it may be closer to the end of its easing cycle than many had predicted. Germany's 10-year yield, the benchmark for the euro zone, was down 3 basis points at 2.54%. Two-year German yields also fell 3 bps to 1.849%, while 30-year yields were similarly down at 3.006%. Longer-dated global bond yields have risen sharply this year, as investors everywhere have grown more concerned about debt levels in developed countries, in particular. "We still have some news flow about debt sustainability," said Nabil Milali, portfolio manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, pointing to higher volatility than before in the bond markets as institutional investors are less involved and more hedge funds and "fast money" players enter the picture. Japanese investors had their largest monthly sell-off of German bonds in more than a decade in April, data showed on Monday, a month after Germany's borrowing costs shot up in reaction to a debt-rule overhaul to ramp up spending. "When you have a new risk emerging, you can expect now the volatility of bonds to be more important than before, just because these price-sensitive investors will more easily sell or buy, depending on the headline, government bonds," Milali said. The 10-year Italian yield was only marginally lower at 3.487%, leaving the gap between German and Italian yields at 91.20. ECB officials speaking this week include board member Isabel Schnabel, with comments from policymakers Peter Kazimir and Robert Holzmann on Monday supporting the view that an end to rate cuts may be approaching. "We think (the ECB's) hawkish bias is misplaced. We think that inflation in Europe is only going in one direction, which is downward. And we think that data will eventually convince the ECB to continue rate cuts," Milali said. Analysts at Frankfurt-based Metzler expected some downside potential at both the short and long ends of the yield curve for the time being, given the ECB's own expectations for inflation to reach 1.6% next year. Elsewhere, Japan's super-long government bond prices rose on Tuesday, after Reuters reported the government was considering buying back some super-long-dated bonds in a move to contain rising yields. Investors will also be looking for any impact from tariffs in inflation data out of the U.S. this week. (Reporting by Linda Pasquini; Editing by Mark Potter and Alex Richardson)
