West Texas Intermediate crude surged nearly 30% Sunday night to $120 a barrel. Prices then dropped by 15% to near $100.\nSource: Atlantic Council\n\"This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with,\" Trump said on Monday. He made his comments after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer refused to allow the US to use British bases. Starmer pivoted later to allow the use of its bases for \"defensive\" actions.\nGermany's position has been more sympathetic to the underlying goals of the US and Israel. Chancellor Friedrich Merz described Iran as a major security threat. He argued that decades of sanctions and diplomacy have failed to halt Tehran's destabilizing activities.\nPolish President Karol Nawrocki has framed the conflict primarily through a security lens. He has argued that Iran's actions pose a broader threat to international stability. \nEastern Europe, nations such as the Baltics, the Czech Republic, and Romania, have expressed similar support. Poland's position reflects its broader strategic alignment with Washington on matters of defense and deterrence.\nWhy it matters: The divergence in Europe has highlighted a deep divide over US-Israeli military intervention. The lack of a unified European reaction reflects the reality that Europe has relatively limited strategic weight in the conflict itself,  the Council on Foreign Relations said. Europe \"faces an increasingly strained relationship with its most important ally, the United States,\" it said.\nEuro Area:\nIndustrial Production MoM (Friday): Previous reading -1.4% (December)\nIndustrial Production YoY (Friday): Previous reading 1.2% (December)\nUnited Kingdom:\nIndustrial Production MoM (Friday): Previous reading -0.9% (December)\nManufacturing Production MoM (Friday): Previous reading -0.5% (December)\nIndustrial Production YoY (Friday): Previous reading 0.5% (December)\nManufacturing Production YoY (Friday): Previous reading 0.5% (December)\nGDP YoY (Friday): Previous reading 0.7% (December)\nUK Industrial Production, YoY, source: TradingEconomics\nSwitzerland:\nConsumer Confidence Index (Monday): Unchanged at -30 in February, matching market expectations.\nWhy it matters: The latest figures show that both the euro area and the UK entered the new year with weak industrial output and soft manufacturing activity. This points to fragile underlying growth. The economic impact of the Iran conflict has yet to hit the Euro Area. Looking more closely at the data, the picture remains fragile and uneven.\nTraders are now betting that the European Central Bank cuts rates twice this year. They expect the Bank of England to raise its rate once, Bloomberg reported on Monday. Weak stock markets, the strengthening dollar, and oil prices above $100 a barrel point to accelerating inflation. \nThe negative month‑on‑month readings signal a loss of short‑term momentum. The mixed or modest year‑on‑year numbers suggest that any recovery remains uneven and vulnerable to global demand pressures. With UK GDP growing just 0.7% year on year, the economy is expanding marginally. It is constrained by tight financial conditions and subdued industrial performance.\nPolicymakers should \"find the courage to ask ourselves whether the approach we put in place in the aftermath of the financial crisis is fully future‑proof,\" she said.  \nA spokesperson for the Danish drugmaker told Bloomberg, \"We are always in conversation with companies that can help improve patient access to FDA‑approved medicines for people living with chronic diseases. These talks happen on an ongoing basis.\"\nThe stock has remained in a downtrend from mid‑February's highs above $48, trading near recent lows around $36–39.\nBenzinga Disclaimer: This article is from an unpaid external contributor.
