???; Iniders usually know better than market when valuations are attractive for sale
???; Large imports at the top of a cycle are often an indication of increased systemic risk
???; Market psychology often peaks just when the most «irresistible» stories grow
????ECB, Inflation and the Dilemma of Interests
The ECB's battle with inflation is again entering a high uncertainty zone, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and increased energy prices threaten to reverse the stabilisation scenario in the Eurozone.
???; On the one hand, more analysts and investment firms consider a new interest rate increase possible by 25 basis points, appreciating that inflationary pressures remain persistent.
