Ναυλαγορά: Οι χαμένοι και οι κερδισμένοι σε ένα «ρευστό» γεωπολιτικό και χρηματοοικονομικό σκηνικό

Καθώς κυλούσαν οι πρώτες ημέρες του Φεβρουαρίου οι κεντρικές τράπεζες προχώρησαν σε άλλη μια αύξηση των επιτοκίων προκειμένου να περιορίσουν τις πληθωριστικές πιέσεις.

Η FED αύξησε τον στόχο για το επιτόκιο αναφοράς κατά 0,25 στο 4,5%, ενώ ο πρόεδρος της Ομοσπονδιακής Τράπεζας των ΗΠΑ Τζερόμ Πάουελ δήλωσε ότι οι υπεύθυνοι χάραξης πολιτικής αναμένουν να πραγματοποιήσουν “μερικές” ακόμη αυξήσεις επιτοκίων προτού θέσουν σε αναμονή την επιθετική εκστρατεία σύσφιξης.

Fed: Προχωρά σε μείωση των επιτοκίων

Νωρίτερα η Ομοσπονδιακή Τράπεζα των ΗΠΑ ανακοίνωσε ότι θα προβεί σε μείωση των επιτοκίων,την πρώτη από το 2008, επικαλούμενη τις ανησυχίες γύρω από την πορεία της παγκόσμιας οικονομίας.

COMMENTARY

However, the tone of the FOMC policy statement and the press conference following the conclusion of the meeting was more dovish than expected, supporting the prevailing market view that the current tightening cycle has probably come to an end.
