Notizie del giorno
Giornata non troppo positiva per la prima della classe del Continente Blu: in Germania l’indice ZEW, che tiene nota delle condizioni economiche, ha registrato un netto peggioramento rispetto al previsto (4.1 vs 15.3 atteso).
Pessimo anche il clima in Francia: Macron ha avuto la meglio sulla riforma delle pensioni ma il costo politico per raggiungere questo obiettivo è stato grande, con una emorragia di fiducia e consenso da parte dei francesi. Ora però il Capo dell’Eliseo vuole riacquistare consensi cercando maggiore dialogo con i sindacati. Ricordiamo che la riforma ha equiparato l’età pensionabile dei francesi a quella dei cittadini degli altri Paesi dell’Unione, portandola a 64 anni.
Il presidente della Federal Reserve Bank di Atlanta Bostic ha dichiarato che i forecast prodotti sull’inflazione non prevedono la recessione, mentre Bullard ha indicato che i tassi di interesse dovranno continuare ad aumentare data la mancata diminuzione dell’inflazione, ritenendo che l’intervallo 5.50%-5.75 dovrebbe essere quello ideale da raggiungere e mantenere per un buon periodo di tempo. I permessi di costruzione rilasciati nel mese di marzo sono minori rispetto alle aspettative, portandosi a un valore di 1,413 milioni vs 1,450 previsti.
In Inghilterra giornata segnata dal dato positivo dell’indice dei salari medi inclusi i bonus, che era atteso al rialzo del 5,1% ma sorprende uscendo al +5,9%. In scia a tale dato, migliora l’occupazione su base trimestrale, con 169 mila nuove unità rispetto alle 50 mila attese.
