Germany to boost military by up to 60,000 troops under new Nato targets
Germany needs up to 60,000 additional troops under new Nato targets for weapons and personnel, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Thursday, as the alliance beefs up its forces to respond to what it sees as an increased threat from Russia. "We are stepping up to our responsibility as Europe's largest economy," Pistorius told reporters ahead of a meeting with his Nato counterparts in Brussels that signed off on the new targets. The fresh demands are tailored to the alliance's new defence plans - thousands of pages of secret documents drawn up for the first time since the end of the Cold War — that detail how allied forces would respond to a Russian attack on Nato. Translating these plans into the military tools needed, Nato found severe shortfalls in various areas - ranging from large formations of combat-ready ground troops to long-range weapons, sufficient ammunition stockpiles and secure communications. Pointing to the secret nature of the targets, Nato chief Mark Rutte only gave a rough outline of the gaps the alliance seeks to plug. "We have to invest in our air defence systems, we have to invest in our long-range missiles, we have to invest in our manoeuvrable land-formations, command and control systems - all of this has to happen," Rutte told reporters, adding that all this would require huge investments. In total, the Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces, will need roughly 50,000 to 60,000 additional active soldiers across all branches of the military, said Pistorius. This would put the future strength of Germany's armed forces at between 250,000 and 260,000 troops. BIG CHALLENGE Last week, Reuters reported that Nato would ask Germany to provide seven more army brigades alone, or some 40,000 troops. Sources, who all spoke on condition of anonymity, put the target for the total number of brigades that Natoallies will have to provide in future at between 120 and 130, a hike of some 50% from the current target of around 80 brigades. Recruiting tens of thousands of extra troops will be a big challenge for Berlin, however, and will likely spark a fresh debate on whether conscription - suspended in 2011 - should be reintroduced. The Bundeswehr has not yet met a target of 203,000 troops set in 2018, and is currently short-staffed by some 20,000 regular troops, according to defence ministry data. Pistorius said the government would be faced with the question of whether the voluntary military service it aims to introduce will be sufficient to fill the Bundeswehr's ranks. Still, he warned that the military currently could not absorb a larger number of conscripts due to a lack of barracks and trainers. "Until we have such capacities, we'll have a voluntary service - and maybe beyond that if we are an attractive employer and win enough young men and women for the military who agree to serve for a longer time."

Dollar slips after ECB hints at rates pause; US data weigh
The dollar slipped against the euro on Thursday after the European Central Bank hinted at a pause in its year-long policy easing cycle and U.S. data pointed to softening labor market conditions amid mounting economic headwinds from tariffs. The ECB cut interest rates for the eighth time in a year on Thursday, acknowledging inflation was under control and turning more pessimistic about economic prospects amid risks of a trade war with the United States. While not confirming a pause, the central bank said it was now well-positioned to cope with global economic uncertainty, as market bets grew on a summer break in its year-long easing cycle. "With today's cut and the current level of interest rates... I think we are getting to the end of a monetary policy cycle that was responding to compounded shocks, including COVID, including the war in Ukraine, the illegitimate war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis," ECB President Christine Lagarde said. The euro rose 0.5% to $1.1473, a fresh six-week high against the dollar, not far from the more than 3-year high of $1.1573 touched in April. "The euro-dollar has taken off here in response to Lagarde saying the ECB is getting towards the end of its rate cutting cycle," said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank. The dollar's softer tone was an extension of its recent weakness, with the U.S. currency down nearly 10% against the euro for the year. "This just broadly reflects the softening in the broader dollar sentiment here and may well continue into non-farm payrolls tomorrow," Osborne said. "We are also seeing a little bit of volatility around news of President Trump talking to Xi, in a first sign of high-level communication between the White House and Beijing in quite some time," Osborne said. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday held talks with Donald Trump by phone, China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported, as bilateral relations have been strained by trade disputes. The dollar also came under pressure after data showed the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits last week increased for a second straight week, pointing to softening labor market conditions amid mounting economic headwinds from tariffs. The claims data have no bearing on the Labor Department's closely watched employment report for May, scheduled to be released on Friday, as it falls outside the survey period. Nonfarm payrolls likely increased by 130,000 jobs last month after advancing by 177,000 in April, a Reuters survey of economists showed. The unemployment rate is forecast being unchanged at 4.2%. "Evidence of a cooling in labour markets is beginning to build, lowering expectations ahead of tomorrow's non-farm payrolls report and putting downward pressure on yields," Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay, said. Markets have been rattled since Trump announced a slate of tariffs on countries around the world on April 2, only to pause some and declare new ones, leading investors to look for alternatives to U.S. assets. Investors remain worried about U.S. trade negotiations and the lack of progress in hashing out deals ahead of an early July deadline. Elsewhere, the Hong Kong dollar was at 7.846 per U.S. dollar, about the closest it has been to 7.85 - the weak end of its trading band against the U.S. dollar - since August 2023, according to LSEG data. The dollar was 0.3% higher against the yen at 143.25 yen. Sterling was 0.3% higher against the dollar on Thursday. The United Kingdom is the only country to have struck a trade deal with the Trump administration and was spared from higher U.S. steel and aluminium tariffs, though analysts question how beneficial those factors are. Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, was 0.5% lower on the day at $104,021.

European Central Bank cuts rates as bets build on a summer pause
The European Central Bank cut interest rates as expected on Thursday and said it believed it was now well-positioned to cope with global economic uncertainty, as market bets grew on a summer pause in its year-long easing cycle. The ECB has now lowered borrowing costs eight times, or by 2 percentage points since last June, seeking to prop up a euro zone economy that was struggling even before erratic U.S. economic and trade policies dealt it further blows. With inflation in line with its 2% target and the cut well flagged, the focus has shifted to the ECB's message about the path ahead, especially since at 2%, rates are now in the "neutral" range where they neither stimulate nor slow growth. "At the current level we believe we are in a good position to navigate the uncertain circumstances that will be coming up," ECB President Christine Lagarde told a press conference, while repeating that it would not "pre-commit" to a rate path. Lagarde said policymakers were "virtually unanimous" in agreeing the rate cut, pursuing the bank's most aggressive easing cycle since the 2008/2009 global financial crisis. The euro was little changed around $1.1426, while government bond yields dipped. Money markets slightly reduced their bets on any further rate cuts by year-end to just 25 basis points - one single move. Falling energy prices and a stronger euro could put further downward pressure on inflation, said Lagarde, adding that effect could be reinforced if higher tariffs led to lower demand for euro exports and re-routing of overcapacity to Europe. On the other hand, a fragmentation of global supply chains could raise inflation by pushing up import prices and adding to capacity constraints in the domestic economy, she said. Investors are already pricing in a pause in cuts in July, and some conservative policymakers have advocated a break to give the ECB a chance to reassess how exceptional uncertainty and policy upheaval at home and abroad will shift the outlook. While ECB board member and chief hawk Isabel Schnabel has made explicit calls for a pause, others have been more cautious and Lagarde is likely to stick to language that leaves the ECB's options open, as the outlook is prone to sudden changes. The case for a pause rests on the premise that the short- and medium-term prospects for the currency bloc differ greatly and may require different policy responses. Inflation could dip in the short term - possibly even below the ECB's target - but increased government spending and higher trade barriers may add to price pressures later. The added complication is that monetary policy impacts the economy with a 12-to-18 month lag, so support approved now could be giving help to a bloc that no longer needs it. Investors still see at least one more rate cut later this year, however, and a small chance of another move later on, especially if U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war intensifies. DIVERGENT OUTLOOK Acknowledging near-term weakness, the ECB cut its inflation projection for next year. Trump's tariffs are already damaging activity and will have a lasting impact even if an amicable resolution is found, given the hit to confidence and investment. Most economists think inflation could fall below the ECB's 2% target next year, triggering memories of the pre-pandemic decade when price growth persistently undershot 2%, even if projections show it back at target in 2027. Further ahead, the outlook changes significantly. The European Union is likely to retaliate against any permanent U.S. tariffs, raising the cost of trade. Firms could relocate some activity to avoid trade barriers but changes to corporate value chains are also likely to raise costs. Higher European defence spending, particularly by Germany, and the cost of the green transition could add to inflation while a shrinking workforce due to an ageing population will keep wage pressures elevated.
