Lots of news this week on the markets, we will take stock of the current tensions: .๐Ÿ“Œ Geopolitical news .โšก Russia's war in Ukraine seems to be going on: - For Westerners, the Russian army is running out of everything (logistics, etc.) - For the Kremlin, the Russian Army is moving slowly to save as many civilian lives as possible. .โšก Joe Biden raises his voice...against Beijing - While the United States seems to let Europe have its way with Russia and Ukraine, Joe Biden turns to Chinese leader Xi Jinping: The United States wants to officially force China to โ€œtackleโ€ Russia. Initially without success. .๐Ÿ’ก Things are more complex than that: - The Chinese are far from being fervent supporters of the Russian invasion of Ukraine - China has strong economic partnerships with Ukraine - The Chinese want to continue to trade with the Ukrainians and the Russians as well - Biden has a very aggressive rhetoric both towards Putin, who is described as a War Criminal, and towards China. -> China's attitude will be decisive .๐Ÿ“Œ Economic news Russia finally escapes defaulting on interest payments on two bonds totaling $117 million as of March 16. .๐Ÿ“Œ Monetary news .โšก The Bank of England raised its key rate by 25 basis points, with a key rate of 0.75%. .โšก The Federal Reserve (USA) raised rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, with a key rate of 0.25%. .๐Ÿ’ก Before the invasion of Ukraine the markets expected 50 basis points to rise. .๐Ÿ’ก James Bullard, President of the FED of Saint-Louis had voted for an increase of 50 points and is campaigning for 10 rate increases (there are currently 7 rate increases planned by the FED) so that the key rates reach the 3% level as quickly as possible, in order to combat inflation. On the China side .โšก The Chinese authorities pledged on Wednesday to ensure the stability of the financial markets and worked to resolve the crisis in the Chinese real estate sector. .๐Ÿ’ก They also supported the principle of listing Chinese companies abroad, an about-face after months of pressure on companies present on Wall Street. .๐Ÿ’ก According to the New China agency, China and the United States are working on a compromise that would clear the horizon of Chinese companies listed in New York, currently threatened with delisting. .โœ”๏ธ The effect was drastic on the big Chinese names on Wall Street, first and foremost the e-commerce giants BABA (+17.82%), PDD (+39.29%) or JD.US ( +26.62%). .๐Ÿ“Œ Health news The Covid is making headlines again with an explosion in the number of new cases in China, which has implemented containments very hard in many cities: today nearly 17 million Chinese are confined to Shenzhen for example. .๐Ÿ’ก The risk is to start again on shortages of all kinds of products from China while the prices of raw materials are under pressure due to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict .๐Ÿ“Œ Conclusion The markets rebounded really well well beyond analysts' expectations, but: - The conflict with Ukraine is not resolved - Inflation is still present - Some central banks are stopping their support for the markets, while raising key rates. .๐Ÿ’ก Be careful though: The markets are coming to major resistance areas. .๐Ÿ’ก A little background: -> The market downturn had started long before the Ukrainian crisis -> The problems of inflation were at work long before Ukraine and could be compared to the inflation that has followed the end of Bretton Woods in 1971 which saw a resurgence of inflation before it accelerated with the oil shock of 1973. So let's not forget about these important factors. Optimistic yes, but be careful about your exposure, cash is king๐Ÿ˜‰ .๐ŸŒด Have a great week everyone๐Ÿ’ช Strength to you Steeve .๐ŸŒ Investor Relations Learning, Understanding & Applying are the basis of Financial Independence. .โœ”๏ธ + ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ.๐Ÿญ๐Ÿด% in 2021 .โœ”๏ธWant to see where we are going together? etoro.tw/3iMlfFy .โœ”๏ธBuilding Philosophy Portfolio etoro.tw/3ltzhgA .โœ”๏ธLast โ€‹โ€‹Report etoro.tw/3IrqTH8 .โœ”๏ธFinancial Intelligence, Mindset & eToro tips etoro.tw/3iRaodp .โœ”๏ธ Copy open trades: Latent gains vs Real Performance etoro.tw/3Ch6t0z .โœ”๏ธCompany Review List etoro.tw/2SjRmSk . $IJPE.L $NFLX (Netflix, Inc.) $IWD $MIDD.US (Middleby Corp) $SG (SweetGreen) .
