<li>The ES50 Index is one of the most highly tracked European indices. The annual review takes place in September, with index weights rebalanced every quarter.</li>
<li>With the base date nearly two weeks away, we currently see 2 ADDs and 2 DELs, but Nokia's price slide has two names circling to take its place.</li>

<li>Société Générale and Engie lead our current addition screen, while Nokia/E.ON remains a live race: just 1.9% relative performance separates the two ahead of the 31 August cut-off.</li>
<li>The flow numbers favour the addition side: estimated ETF buying reaches ~7x ADV for Engie and 6.3x for E.ON, compared with 2–3x ADV selling for the main deletion candidates.</li>
<li>We favour the addition side: Engie offers the strongest prospective flow/liquidity setup, while E.ON becomes particularly interesting if it overtakes Nokia; we are more cautious on pre-positioning deletion shorts.</li>
