Market Overview: Debt Ceiling Deal could Deepen Recession
On May 28, U.S. President Joe Biden said a final deal with McCarthy on raising the debt ceiling was on its way to Congress. On the same day, the House Library of Documents released the 99-page text of the agreement.
The spending limits would apply from the start of the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. Because spending in the next fiscal year is expected to remain at around 2023 levels, the restrictions imposed by the deal will kick in at a time when the economy is likely to slip into contraction. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected the U.S. economy to fall into recession in the second half of the year after GDP fell at a 0.5 percent annual rate in the third and fourth quarters.
Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at jpmorgan Chase, said in an emailed response to questions today that fiscal multipliers tend to be higher during recessions, so if the United States were to fall into recession, then reduced fiscal spending would likely have a bigger impact on GDP and employment.
The European Central Bank (ECB) still has more to raise interest rates, ECB governing Council Andreas De Kos said on Monday, adding that the bank is nearing the end of its tightening cycle, but has a long way to go to control inflation.
The world's major central banks are in the final stages of raising interest rates as the risk of recession grows. However, inflation in Europe remains high after several top ECB officials warned that interest rate rises may need to continue beyond the summer to rein in price rises.
Two more hikes are expected by July, according to economists, but the risk that the most aggressive monetary tightening of the euro era will last longer is rising. America had a banking crisis in March, and commercial property risks are building. Mr. Decos, for one, has said Mr. yang's actions are filtering well through the economy and that officials are monitoring the impact on the financial sector of the banking tensions that began in the United States.
Spot gold afternoon: Just a week ago, the odds of a rate hike were as low as 17.4 percent, according to analysis, suggesting people had abandoned expectations of a pause, which helped the dollar rise for a third straight week and weighed on gold prices.
With the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in June rising and technicals about to form a bearish cross, gold prices remain vulnerable. Gold, we have had a very nice run selling gold below 1985 since last week. The 1930 support level is very important today and we will try to buy gold from there first.
