CEIC nowcasts point to a Q3 pickup across France, Germany and Italy, with Poland leading the major EU economies. The longer-term picture is tougher. Europe's competitiveness problem is energy, not labor costs: industrial electricity prices are nearly three times China's level.
Chinese manufacturers continue to take share in vehicles, machinery and chemicals across key export markets. Gas storage is entering winter at its lowest seasonal cushion in five years, and the ECB has raised rates as energy pushes inflation higher again.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲? Near-term growth is improving, but energy costs remain the binding constraint on Europe's industrial base.

The US economy carried robust momentum into 2026, consistently beating growth expectations on the back of resilient personal consumption and private investment. However, the composition of this expansion remains highly uneven. Capital expenditure is acutely concentrated in technology and AI infrastructure.
This targeted capital deployment is yielding macro-level dividends, driving a sharp divergence in labor productivity that heavily favors AI-exposed sectors. Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022, average labor productivity in highly AI-exposed sectors has surged by 12.4%, compared to just 5.6% in low-exposure sectors.
