      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over.

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more.

      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over.

      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month.

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon.

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.

      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over.

      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance.

      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike.

The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis.

The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon.

      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      According to Lagarde, the ECB is planning to increase interest rates in July to \"slow inflation\".<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>

      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      According to Lagarde, the ECB is planning to increase interest rates in July to \"slow inflation\".<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>

The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      According to Lagarde, the ECB is planning to increase interest rates in July to \"slow inflation\".<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>

      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Prices in the Eurozone have reportedly risen by just 1.7%, a contrast to the inflation of the past three years. This has allowed the ECB to shift its focus to economic growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that the \"disinflationary process is well on track,\" signaling that the ECB is confident inflation will remain near its 2% target for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, Lagarde warned of looming economic risks, including the possibility of new trade tariffs from a potential Trump presidency in the U.S. and the impact of oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      The ECB's latest decision to cut rates marks a significant shift. For the first time in 13 years, the central bank has implemented back-to-back rate cuts, indicating that the fight against inflation is no longer the only concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Prices in the Eurozone have reportedly risen by just 1.7%, a contrast to the inflation of the past three years. This has allowed the ECB to shift its focus to economic growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that the \"disinflationary process is well on track,\" signaling that the ECB is confident inflation will remain near its 2% target for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, Lagarde warned of looming economic risks, including the possibility of new trade tariffs from a potential Trump presidency in the U.S. and the impact of oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Europe's economic struggles have taken center stage as the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates for the third time this year. Despite inflation appearing to be under control, the region's economic growth continues to disappoint, raising concerns about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's latest decision to cut rates marks a significant shift. For the first time in 13 years, the central bank has implemented back-to-back rate cuts, indicating that the fight against inflation is no longer the only concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Prices in the Eurozone have reportedly risen by just 1.7%, a contrast to the inflation of the past three years. This has allowed the ECB to shift its focus to economic growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that the \"disinflationary process is well on track,\" signaling that the ECB is confident inflation will remain near its 2% target for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, Lagarde warned of looming economic risks, including the possibility of new trade tariffs from a potential Trump presidency in the U.S. and the impact of oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      See Related: <\/em><\/strong>Tether Ordered To Reveal USDTs Exact Backings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n

      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      After years of ultra-low rates, surging borrowing costs have been a game-changer for European banks and their ability to profit from higher lending margins. This tailwind has supercharged bank stocks and investor payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      As quoted by Reuters in their analysis on the topic, Co-Head of Europe at consulting firm Oliver Wyman points out the fundamental difference is that Europe has moved away from negative interest rates. This shift has profoundly impacted the outlook for banks in the region, an impact that continues to be felt. The move to positive rates represents a game-changing development for European lenders after years of operating in a negative rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, the full European banking picture won't emerge until later in April and early May when Spanish giants BBVA and Santander and France's Societe Generale and Swiss bank UBS report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While recent reports from Nordea and Bankinter signal earnings growth remains solid, Oliver Wyman's Edelman cautioned that falling margins and weak loan demand could spell trouble ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyst's Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds. Deutsche Bank is forecasting its 15th consecutive quarterly profit, while BNP Paribas' typically strong first quarter could get an added boost from lower rate cut expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      However, the economic underperformance of Europe versus the U.S. and likely rate cuts this year by the Bank of England and European Central Bank could start weighing on lenders' performance. Sustained high rates could also exacerbate problems in the struggling commercial real estate sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The coming weeks will prove crucial in determining if soaring bank shares can sustain their impressive run or if darker clouds are forming on the interest rate horizon. A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      ECB President Christine Lagarde expressed confidence that inflation will stay near the 2% target.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      Economic risks remain, with concerns about the impact of rising oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Europe's economic struggles have taken center stage as the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates for the third time this year. Despite inflation appearing to be under control, the region's economic growth continues to disappoint, raising concerns about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's latest decision to cut rates marks a significant shift. For the first time in 13 years, the central bank has implemented back-to-back rate cuts, indicating that the fight against inflation is no longer the only concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Prices in the Eurozone have reportedly risen by just 1.7%, a contrast to the inflation of the past three years. This has allowed the ECB to shift its focus to economic growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that the \"disinflationary process is well on track,\" signaling that the ECB is confident inflation will remain near its 2% target for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, Lagarde warned of looming economic risks, including the possibility of new trade tariffs from a potential Trump presidency in the U.S. and the impact of oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n
      Investors are bracing for a reality check on whether higher interest rates will continue boosting European bank profits or if the year-long rally in banking shares could soon run out of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      This week marks the start of the first quarter earnings season for major European lenders. Britain's Lloyds Banking Group kicks things off on April 24, followed by French giant BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and Britain's Barclays on April 25, according to Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Most analysts still expect a strong first quarter as the higher rate environment and controlled bad loans provide tailwinds.

      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      ECB President Christine Lagarde expressed confidence that inflation will stay near the 2% target.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      Economic risks remain, with concerns about the impact of rising oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Europe's economic struggles have taken center stage as the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates for the third time this year. Despite inflation appearing to be under control, the region's economic growth continues to disappoint, raising concerns about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's latest decision to cut rates marks a significant shift. For the first time in 13 years, the central bank has implemented back-to-back rate cuts, indicating that the fight against inflation is no longer the only concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Prices in the Eurozone have reportedly risen by just 1.7%, a contrast to the inflation of the past three years. This has allowed the ECB to shift its focus to economic growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that the \"disinflationary process is well on track,\" signaling that the ECB is confident inflation will remain near its 2% target for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Accordingly, the interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations, and the marginal lending facility will be decreased to 3.25%, 3.40%, and 3.65%, respectively, with effect from 23 October 2024,\" <\/em>ECB announced<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      However, Lagarde warned of looming economic risks, including the possibility of new trade tariffs from a potential Trump presidency in the U.S. and the impact of oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic Data And Rate Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      While the ECB has not officially committed to further rate cuts, sources suggest that another reduction in December is possible if the economic data does not improve, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets are already pricing in the likelihood of additional cuts through early 2025, intending to bring rates back to a \"neutral\" level of around 2%. While inflation has cooled, the economic toll is becoming more evident. High interest rates have stunted investment, and the latest economic data points to more sluggish growth ahead. Industrial output has slowed, and bank lending remains tepid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's Governing Council committed to bringing inflation down to its 2% target over the medium term. Thursday's 25-basis-point cut lowered the deposit rate to 3.25%, with further cuts anticipated if inflation continues to trend downward and growth remains weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite the recent rate cuts, Lagarde maintains that a recession is not expected and that the economy could still achieve a \"soft landing,\" meaning that growth will slow but remain positive. She emphasized that its approach will be data-dependent and that it will make decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As reported by Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) is poised to cut interest rates for the first time since 2019 this Thursday. However, the central bank's subsequent moves remain a puzzle, raising several critical questions that financial markets grapple with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Will the ECB Finally Cut Interest Rates This Week?<\/strong> Most likely, as numerous policymakers have all but promised a June rate cut. The expectation is a 25 basis-point reduction, bringing the ECB's deposit rate down to 3.75% from the record 4% reached last September.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the Rates Path Look Like After June?<\/strong> This is much less certain. Markets now expect fewer than 60 basis points of cuts this year, implying two moves and less than a 50% chance of a third, down from three when the ECB last met in April and at least five in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      See Related:<\/em><\/strong> President Of European Central Bank Believes Crypto Is 'Worth Nothing'<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      While many forecasters still anticipate three cuts \u2013 in June, September, and December \u2013 hawks are trying to take a July move off the table. ECB chief Christine Lagarde is expected to reiterate the bank's \"data dependent\" mantra, providing little guidance on future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      How Big of a Headache is Accelerating Wage Growth for the ECB?<\/strong> Not a huge one, according to economists. Although wage growth rose to 4.69% in the first quarter, the ECB seems unconcerned, publishing a blog emphasizing that other wage indicators point to moderating pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      However, services inflation rebounded in May, and record-low unemployment may cast uncertainty on how much wages will cool, potentially influencing the pace of rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      What About a Strengthening Euro Zone Economy?<\/strong> Surprisingly, this is not a cause for concern. The bloc's economy grew 0.3% during the first quarter, beating expectations. Economists reckon the numbers are good news for the ECB, as the uptick in activity could boost productivity growth, aiding in slowing inflation without reigniting demand-driven price pressures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      What Will the ECB's New Projections Show?<\/strong> The bank is expected to revise its growth and inflation projections slightly upward, but the big picture should remain the same as in March \u2013 inflation returning to the 2% target in late 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      As the ECB navigates these questions, its messaging and actions will be closely watched by financial markets and economic analysts alike. The road ahead for monetary policy remains uncertain, with the central bank treading cautiously to balance economic growth, inflation, and wage pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Outlook Of ECB's Rate Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's upcoming rate cut is a widely anticipated move, but the central bank's future actions remain uncertain. While a 25 basis-point reduction is likely this week, the pace and magnitude of subsequent cuts will depend on a delicate balancing act between economic indicators, inflation dynamics, and wage growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As the euro-zone economy shows signs of resilience and services inflation remains sticky, the ECB may adopt a more gradual approach to rate cuts, waiting for clearer signals of moderating wage pressures and sustained disinflation. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or inflation proves more stubborn, the central bank may be forced to accelerate its rate-cutting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Moreover, the ECB's messaging and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping market expectations and influencing financial conditions. As hinted by Lagarde, a cautious and data-dependent approach may leave room for policy flexibility, but could also contribute to market volatility and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Ultimately, the ECB's ability to navigate these challenges and strike the right balance between supporting economic growth and anchoring inflation expectations will be critical for the euro zone's economic stability and the credibility of its monetary policy framework.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Beyond the Rate Cut: Challenges For The ECB's Monetary Policy","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beyond-the-rate-cut-challenges-for-the-ecbs-monetary-policy","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-12 00:28:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-11 14:28:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17219","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16524,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2024-04-25 22:18:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:13","post_content":"\n

A potential shift in the rate cycle could present challenges and opportunities that will test the resilience of the European banking sector.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Higher Rates May Prove Double-Edged Sword for European Bank Earnings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"higher-rates-may-prove-double-edged-sword-for-european-bank-earnings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 22:18:19","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 12:18:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16524","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12091,"post_author":"18","post_date":"2023-06-19 06:43:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:13","post_content":"\n
      European Central Bank (ECB) key decision-makers have resolved to raise interest rates again in the upcoming month. Although there is a divergence of views regarding future monetary policies, the persistently high levels of underlying inflation have prompted policymakers to consider further rate increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's dive deeper to understand the need to hike interest rates and examine the reasons for ECB's recent decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      As we know, interest rate hikes are vital for central banks to manage economic conditions, control inflation, and maintain financial stability. When the economy is multiplying, or inflation rates are rising, central banks often raise interest rates to moderate economic activity and curb inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Let's look at the key reasons why the ECB is considering raising interest rates again in July:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Keep a check on high inflation:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Despite minimal economic growth, underlying inflation in the Eurozone has remained stubbornly high. Policymakers are concerned about the sustained upward pressure on prices, notably when excluding volatile energy and food prices. With underlying inflation at 5.3% in May, a substantial drop is necessary to avoid further rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Stabilizing prices across the board:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The ECB's primary mandate is maintaining price stability within the Eurozone. The central bank aims to control inflationary pressures by raising interest rates and preventing prices from rising excessively. This approach ensures that the euro's purchasing power remains stable and fosters sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Addressing market concerns:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Markets have already priced in one more rate hike, anticipating further tightening. If the ECB fails to follow through with additional rate increases, it could create uncertainty and potentially undermine market confidence. Policymakers must balance market expectations with the need to manage inflationary pressures effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Rate Hike Trends:<\/strong>
      Below is a graph that can assist us in analyzing past interest rate increases in the Eurozone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"Eurozone$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      We can observe that interest rates have recently experienced a rapid upward trajectory. The ECB's decision to raise rates to around 4.00%, the highest level in 23 years, demonstrates its commitment to combating inflationary pressures. The steady increase in interest rates reflects the urgency to address rising inflation and maintain price stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The historical interest rate gains highlight the urgency with which policymakers are responding to inflationary pressures. It will be interesting to see how the ECB balances taming inflation and supporting economic growth to ensure a stable and prosperous Eurozone economy.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Inflation Check: The European Central Bank All Set To Hike Interest Rates Yet Again","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"inflation-check-the-european-central-bank-all-set-to-hike-interest-rates-yet-again","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-19 06:43:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 20:43:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12091","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8949,"post_author":"14","post_date":"2022-12-23 14:00:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-23 03:00:16","post_content":"\n

      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/a><\/li>
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ), like most other cryptocurrencies, came under selling pressure after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange<\/a>. The risk of further decline for Chiliz is still not over, especially after hawkish messages from major central banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points last week and signaled that it would keep lifting interest rates in 2023 in order to bring down inflation. Investors continue to worry that higher interest rates will harm the global economy, and the outlook for risk appetite in the near term is not looking good. Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"During periods of high inflation like what the U.S. economy is experiencing today, recessions tend to last longer unless central banks slash interest rates quickly. You haven't seen the bottom in risky assets, and it's going to be a couple of years down cycle here.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      According to Greg Jensen, investors have yet to price in the coming multiyear recession that could weigh on stocks and cryptocurrencies even more. January 2023 could be a tough month for Chiliz (CHZ), and it is important to note that the crypto selloffs could gather speed if Bitcoin cannot hold at the $16,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The cryptocurrency market is still unable to show positive signs and continues to face a deep trust crisis. The collapse of the FTX created unprecedented market turmoil that could last for several more months, and there are still fears that the collapse of the FTX could drag some other big exchanges into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened from $0.30 to $0.10 since November 07, 2022, and the current price stands at $0.11. The price of this cryptocurrency is usually correlated with Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin falls below $16,000, we could probably see CHZ at a lower price level than the current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      $\"\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below. According to technical analysis, Chiliz (CHZ) remains in a bear market, but if the price jumps above $0.13, the next target could be resistance that stands at $0.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Summary Of Chiliz Price Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      The price of Chiliz (CHZ) has weakened more than 60% since November 07, and the risk of further decline is still not over. The current support level stands at $0.10, and a break below this level would indicate that we could see CHZ at $0.09 or even below.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Chiliz (CHZ) Price Prediction For January 2023","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chiliz-chz-price-prediction-for-january-2023","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:56:30","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:56:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=8949","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5149,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-05-22 00:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-21 14:18:48","post_content":"\n
      Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has made her stance on cryptocurrency clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde was interviewed on College Tour, a Dutch T.V. show, and believes them to be \"highly speculative, very risky assets\" according to reports from Politico<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Lagarde is quoted as saying \u201cI have said all along the crypto assets are highly speculative, very risky assets. My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      In contrast, Lagarde explains that a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)<\/a> in the form of a digital euro would be an entirely different ballgame.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      ECBs Plan To Fight Inflation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      According to Lagarde, the ECB is planning to increase interest rates in July to \"slow inflation\".<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Current market expectations will see a 25 basis-point increase, rather than a 50 basis-point increase proposed<\/a> by the Dutch Central Bank.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
