On Friday, the American shares market finished auction with a decrease in the 7th week in a row, which became the longest fall since the beginning of the 2000s for the S&P500 (SPX) index. The beginning of the new week was somewhat more pleasant for investors. On the eve of the main state index ended the day at a plus by 1.86%, first of all, on technical resellibility, since there were no significant macronous stations that would support the market did not appear over the weekend.
In the markets as a whole and in the financial media, a clear tendency on the gradual departure from the shock received from the events in Ukraine and the return to our own economic issues (if we take the point of view of the United States) is now being traced.
In the States, talking about an impending recession is now being intensified, since high inflation is faced with the gradual tightening of financial conditions against the background of increasing the rate by the Fed. Top American banks begin to more and more often voice opinions on the account of when the recession happens, and often opposite.
These comments find their active reflection not as on the stock, so much in the foreign exchange market. If over the past few weeks we have repeatedly written that the dollar was erased literally all other currencies at the time of its historical rally, now the opposite situation is taking place.
The euro is traded against the dollar already significantly higher than 1.07, despite the fact that recently EUR/USD fell below 1.04. The British pound grew from 1.2170 to current 1.26. The Swiss Frank, who has reached parity with the dollar last week, has now almost approached 0.96. In fact, the situation is such that a recession can happen in almost all developed regions of the world at the same time, and the world economy as a whole will suffer.
