News:
Pierre Wunsch, a member of the council of the European Central Bank, commented in an interview with the FT that the ECB will keep raising interest rates until wage growth dynamics are in rapid decline. The overall tone of the banker's comments was hawkish. Wunsch said that he would not be surprised if rates exceeded the 4% level, and at the moment there are no signs that the Bank is doing enough to tackle inflation permanently. On the other hand, the ECB's Stournaras communicated that the Bank should not take abrupt decisions towards interest rates in view of the fact that we are already at sufficiently restrictive levels at the moment.
In addition to earnings reports from US companies, in Europe investors' attention is focused on local earnings releases, of which there will be plenty this week. Today, Credit Suisse (CSGN.CH), which is about to be permanently acquired, presented its quarterly results. What interested the market was above all the value of the assets that were withdrawn from the Bank (47.1 billion francs), which shows that UBS has a tough task ahead of it to bring clients back into the structure of the merged Bank. UBS (UBSG.CH) and Santander (SAN1.ES) will report their results on Tuesday, Barclays (BARC.UK) and Deutsche Bank (DBK.DE) will publish their results on Thursday and NatWest (NWG.UK) on Friday.
The shares of Borussia Dortmund (BVB.DE) are showing a substantial rally during today's session, rising on the back of a 29th round Bundesliga exit. There are only five matches left in the season.
