Frankfurt – 24/02/2022 Movies Suppose you only pay attention to and believe the mainstream media. In that case, it seems that we are in a terrible situation: Russia launches a military operation in Ukraine and thus starts a war.

Frankfurt – 21/02/2022 Raising Black Swans Looking at the current world situation, one finds a dangerous mix of several potential black swan events.

Frankfurt – 10/02/2022 Price Shock The recent improvement in sentiment on the US equity market gave way to renewed inflation concerns today.

Frankfurt – 07/02/2022 Caution Even if the interest rate turnaround should be digested to some extent, the Ukraine issue remains seemingly unpredictable. Against this backdrop, the markets remained shaky. In addition, US equity markets continue to chew on the surprisingly strong labour market data released on Friday. These make it even more likely that the US Fed will take several ...

Frankfurt – 02/02/2022 Inflated Europa The topic of the day today was the record-high inflation in the euro area, or rather its consequences for monetary policy.

Frankfurt – 24/01/2022 Nose-Dive To speak of a “black Monday” would perhaps be too much of a bad thing. But the start of the new stock market week brought a deep blow. The Ukraine crisis’s most recent escalation weighed most heavily after a weekend without rapprochement. NATO’s planned troop build-up in Eastern Europe highlighted the risks of confrontation.
