Daily review 13/06/12
Asian stock markets trade is conducted today (Wednesday) in price increases, in accordance with prevailing positive sentiment on Wall Street, following speculation and hopeful thinking of investors that the Fed intends to intervene and carry out another stimulus plan (QE3).
It seems that the rescue package that Spain received on weekend did not impress the Fitch rating agency, which last night announced credit downgrade of 18 Spanish banks.
As mentioned, last night trading on Wall Street closed in increase of more than 1%, due to investors' hopes for another intervention of the Federal Reserve in the capital markets and launch another stimulus plan.
In this context, last night the chief of the Fed in Chicago, Charles Evans, declared that he will support a variety of measures that accelerate the creation of jobs in the faltering U.S. labor market.
Although Spain received rescue package on the weekend of about 100 billion euros, it seems that it not particularly impressed by the Fitch ratings agency, yesterday announced credit downgrade of 18 other banks in Spain.
The response came quick and bond yields for 10 years of Spain jumped to a peak level of 6.86%.
In Japan there is big tension for the expected decision of the government of Japan led by the prime minister, as for the consumption tax (VAT) to a level of 10% - double than today.
The prime minister fight to achieve the necessary majority in parliament to pass the new regulation, designed to help reduce the huge deficit in which is the state welfare system.
Yesterday the U.S. government published the deficit for May, which stands on 125 billion Dollar - what's driving the U.S. deficit to 8 months of this fiscal year to -844 billion.
