Economist at UOB Group Lee Sue Ann assesses the last ECB event on May 4.
“The European Central Bank (ECB) decided to raise its three key interest rates by 25bps. This is the smallest rate increase since the ECB started its current tightening cycle in Jul 2022. It also expects to discontinue the reinvestments under the Asset Purchase Programme (APP) as of Jul 2023. As for the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP), guidance was left unchanged (reinvestments intended until at least end-2024).”
“The justification for hiking was clear, with the ECB stating that ‘the inflation outlook continues to be too high for too long’, and adding that while ‘headline inflation has declined over recent months, underlying price pressures remain strong’. The downshift from 50bps to 25bps was also justified by the ECB acknowledging that “past rate increases are being transmitted forcefully to euro area financing and monetary conditions”.
“In all, the ECB did not provide further guidance about upcoming rate decisions. At this juncture, we are penciling in one more 25bps hike at the next meeting on 15 Jun, since Lagarde highlighted that there is still ‘more ground to cover’. But the ECB clearly has every reason to stick to a data dependent approach. Whether Jun or Jul will be the last will depend crucially on inflation data scheduled for late-May.”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
