BeBeez roundup with eToro support about the performances of private capital firms listed on global exchanges.
Last week market rumours increased the investors expectations for increased interest rates volatility in Europe where Donald Trump’s administration tariffs could have a recessionary effects. On the other side, the EU countries may increase the issuance of sovereign debt for financing their military expenses due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
These conflicting expectations pushed the volatility of the Eurostoxx 50 index to its peak since the beginning of the year.
Investors also think that Trump’s loosening fiscal policy and tariffs on imports from China, EU, Mexico and Canada may have inflationary effects. However, different opinion about these policies’ outcomes boosted the VIX Index (the indicator of S&P 500 volatility or of the fear) to the highest year to date level.
