WEEKLY FINANCIAL NEWS

Hi Everybody
Saudi Arabia and Russia announces that it was time to release supply of Oil. They know that above 80/barrel for Brent is the red zone for the world economy. They don' want the world economy to enter recession which will translate with lower prices again.
The world economy is now facing strong headwind, the rise of oil prices, the rise of the US$, and the rise in interest rate.
Interest rates are the great debate of the day. Will they keep rising or not ?
The main arguments of the No camp, are 1/ We will soon enter a recession and the Central banks will flood again the system with cheap money. 2/ Deflation
The main arguments of the Yes camp, are: 1/The ECB and BOJ are trapped, they are now the market for their respective government bonds and that sooner or later they'll loose control of the situation. 2/ They have bankrupt their pensions fund system with low interest rates for too long and that could lead to civil unrest. 3/ inflation or stagflation.
I could very well imagine that both sides are right, just a different timing. I think again the US$ is the key, the world economy is already cracking at the seams, look at Argentina, Turkey or Venezuela with its inflation of 13000% !!!

HAPPY WEEKEND
