Taiwan’s M2 money supply rose 7.24% year-on-year to a record TWD 71,361 billion in September 2026, accelerating from 6.79% in the previous month. The faster expansion reflected higher annual growth in lending and investment, as well as the temporary repatriation of overseas financing funds by enterprises. On a monthly basis, M2 increased 0.97%, while average growth for the first nine months of the year stood at 6.69%. Meanwhile, lending and investment by all monetary institutions grew 9.79% year-on-year, up from 9.43% in August, driven primarily by increased claims on the private sector, public enterprises, and government debt. Including lending and investment by life insurers and adjusting for bad-debt write-offs transferred by monetary institutions, the broader measure rose 8.06%, accelerating from 7.69% in the previous month.

Taiwan M2 Money Supply Hits Record High

Frankfurt's DAX 40 traded slightly lower around 25,360 on Tuesday, after a positive start to the week, as investors weighed more corporate earnings while bracing for upcoming policy decisions from the Fed and the ECB. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty persisted. Consumer goods stocks weighed heavily on the index, led by Beiersdorf, which slipped 3.7% after slightly missing third-quarter sales growth expectations. Henkel followed, down 1.7%. Chemical companies, banks and automakers also faced pressure, while tech stocks stood out.

DAX Edges Down

The CAC 40 fell 0.4% to 7,817 on Tuesday, reversing gains from the previous session as investors braced for major central bank decisions later this week. The European Central Bank is due to announce its policy decision on Thursday and is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged. The decline came despite a tech-led rebound in other markets following Anthropic’s IPO filing and improving hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East. Domestically, France’s consumer confidence indicator fell to 80 in October 2026 from 85 in September, missing expectations and reaching its lowest level since June 2013, amid rising bond yields, austerity disputes and cost-of-living protests. On the corporate front, Orange fell 1.5% despite raising its 2026 core earnings growth target and maintaining solid revenue in Q3. Other notable decliners included ENGIE (-1.8%), Saint-Gobain (-1.3%) and Dassault Systèmes (-1%).

French Stocks Fall as ECB Decision Looms

The FTSE MIB fell around 0.5% to 48,960 on Tuesday, giving back some of the previous session's gains, weighed down by losses in heavyweight financials.

European banking sentiment came under pressure after regional peer HSBC's third-quarter revenue missed forecasts. Investors also monitored Italy's 2027 budget plans, including proposed contributions from financial institutions to help fund tax cuts and spending. Luxury stocks remained under pressure, with Moncler down 1.3% and Brunello Cucinelli losing 0.8%. Automakers also traded lower, with Ferrari falling 0.4% and Stellantis dropping 1.7%. In contrast, technology shares gained, led by STMicroelectronics (+1.1%), while Prysmian rose 0.5%. Utilities also advanced, with Snam and Italgas gaining 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively.
