US Equity move lower on Wednesday after some days of increases. This is due to the market’s continued focus on the outcome of the meeting between Russia and Ukraine, as well as mixed data from the United States. The SP500 was down 0.42 percent, the NAS100 was down 0.79 percent, and the DJ30 was down 0.08 percent, according to MT4 VT Markets data.
Economic growth appears to be stable in the United States in 2021, as last night’s Final GDP statistics showed 6.9 percent growth, indicating that the Federal Reserve may continue to raise interest rates aggressively this year.
Several analysts believe that a rapid withdrawal of liquidity will impair domestic and global economic growth in the future, as seen by the inverted yield curve that has occurred since the beginning of this month.
Aside from the Fed’s policies, the capital market was also burdened by high inflation rates produced by rapid money circulation and skyrocketing global oil prices. The next market players will await US job data and inflation figures, which will affirm the US economy’s current strength.
The softening of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does not indicate that the battle between the two nations has ended, resulting in continued high oil and natural gas prices. This scenario was compounded by Germany’s policy of barring energy imports from Russia, putting more strain on Europe’s economic growth. Due to the scarcity of fuel, both oil and gas, in the European Union zone, inflation rates can rise, posing a risk of a recession on the continent.
Main Pairs Movement
Several technology companies fell after gaining momentum for a few days; AAPL declined 0.82 percent to $177.07 after advancing for 11 consecutive days.
Meanwhile, INTEL and NVIDIA also declined significantly. INTEL lost 1.46 percent to $51.32, while NVIDIA sank 2.33 percent to $276.19.
USOUSD (WTI Texas) finished higher at $106.45, up 2.26 percent, as prospects for a resolution to the Ukraine conflict dwindled.
The USD’s weakness versus several major currencies was triggered by the revelation of data that was not supportive of the USD. This resulted in a 0.65 percent increase in the EURUSD and a 0.82 percent decline in the USDJPY.
