OFF WITH HER HEAD
All this as the British Parliament rejects all alternative proposals to May's plan for the exit of the European Union. The PM offered to step down if her plan was approved.
There is no doubt that the banks are also very sensitive to Brexit, but what is moving them now are the different statements of the Fed and the ECB, which have secured their accommodative monetary policies.
The ECB said on Wednesday that it is looking for solutions to alleviate the negative effect that rates at current levels have on financial institutions. This indicates that the rates will continue that way for a long time - Draghi said yesterday that they will continue with an accommodative monetary policy - and this in turn is interpreted as a reflection of a weak economic situation and the fear of a looming deep recession.
Regarding the macro data, this Thursday several relevant ones have been published in the midst of that climate of fear of the economic slowdown. On the one hand, the March CPI for Germany has been known, a data considered 'with a given magnifying glass' given the fear that the 'European locomotive' enters into recession after the bad data known there. According to the interim report, German inflation falls to 1.3%. In addition, the United States has announced the GDP of the fourth quarter, which slows down and grows 2.2%. In Spain, the CPI rose two tenths in March, to 1.3%.
