The Point for Europe Thursday, 11 September 2026

Citi's daily European research digest highlights that European equities remain resilient despite natural gas prices climbing above €80/MWh, while the ECB is now expected to deliver two further rate hikes to reach 3.00%. The report also covers key corporate updates across TMT, Consumer, and Industrials, including conference takeaways and model adjustments.

In 'The Point for Europe' for 11 September 2026, Citi Research provides cross-asset and sector analysis across the region. The top macro call argues that European equities are significantly less exposed to the recent gas price spike than in 2022, with storage levels robust and commodity strategists projecting a decline back to the mid-€50s/MWh. On monetary policy, persistent energy inflation leads economists to project ECB rate hikes in December 2026 and March 2027 to 3.00%. Across equities, European banks remain Overweight though approaching the late stages of their rally, while single-stock notes include positive updates on Infineon, Currys, and Victrex, alongside regulatory headwinds for Vodafone.

2.Following the ECB's rate hike, Citi economists forecast two additional 25bp rate hikes in December 2026 and March 2027 to reach a 3% terminal rate, driven by risk management against persistent energy inflation.
