(Finance) – Negative session for European stock exchangeswhich serve the signs of a possible aggressive monetary tightening of the FED against inflation and a normalization of monetary policy also in the Eurozone. There is a “strong likelihood” of an ECB rate hike in 2022, and closing net bond purchases in the early third quarter, Eurotower president Christine Lagarde said in an interview today.
“A More hawkish ECB continues to pose a risk to the EU peripheral area – commented Mark Dowding, CIO of BlueBay – The days of asset purchases seem to be numbered, and although we have seen comments on a backstop mechanism to support spreads, we believe we are still a long way from consensus on such an initiative. European history suggests that such political advances come only in the wake of a crisis and we doubt that there is much incentive to support 10-year BTPs unless the spread with Bunds is well above 200 basis points. “
