What do analysts say?

Enguerrand Arthas, manager of the La Financière de l’Echiquier (LFDE) fund, on the possibility of a return to inflation: “The global context does not seem to lead to a strong recovery in prices. At the supply level, supply chains have returned to normal, barring the recent unrest in the Red Sea, and between deflation in China and the recession that has hit several major economies (Germany, Japan and the UK): “The global economy is showing little sign of overheating “

The Eurizon Governor comments that “the overall scenario is one of moderate inflation, stable economic growth in the US and signs that the eurozone slowdown is coming to an end. “Central banks are keeping official interest rates in restrictive territory but admit debate about cuts has already begun.”

Ben Laidler, global markets strategist at eToro, looks at the performance of commodities, which are “the worst performing asset class this year,” he says. “Slowing Chinese GDP growth has been a key factor, along with a stronger dollar and a recession in the global manufacturing sector, and near-term hopes are pinned on further Chinese policy stimulus as a result of the ‘two developments’. a week,” he explains.

What is the evolution of debt, currency and commodities?

The euro falls to $1.0826.

Brent crude, Europe’s benchmark, fell to $82.35 a barrel.

The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds rose to 3.361%.
