Expectations of a Slight Inflation Increase Prevail in the Markets

The White House intends to provide details of its plans to restrict some American investments in sensitive technology in China. It will also require notifying the government of other investments. The plan aims to prevent US capital, technology, and expertise from assisting in the development of technologies that could support China’s military modernization and threaten US national security.

European stocks also reached their highest levels in a week on Wednesday, supported by energy company stocks. Italian lender stocks rebounded from sharp losses in the previous session as the government softened its stance on an unexpected tax on banks’ gains.

Risk Statement:


All investments entail risks and can result in both profits and losses. Leveraged products, in particular, may not be appropriate for all investors as the effect of leverage is that both gains and losses are magnified. Before deciding to invest in any financial product, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, financial knowledge and experience and affordability as the prices of leveraged products may change to your disadvantage very quickly, it is possible for you to lose more than your invested capital and you may be required to make further payments.
