Today’s European markets suffered from much of the same pressures that loomed over markets the past weeks. Inflation continues to rise, mounting further pressures on central banks to hike interest rates; fears of stagflation prevail. However, this afternoon came a positive development as Vladimir Putin said Russia was prepared to stabilise soaring global energy prices by increasing supply from its state-backed gas exporter Gazprom.
Across the Atlantic, stocks opened lower, driven by energy and tech stocks. A risk-off atmosphere is steering investors away from cyclical tech stocks towards value investments instead. It was announced crude oil inventories in the US rose by 2.35m barrels, above the anticipated 0.8m barrels. This news, coupled with the expected easing of the gas supply crunch, initiated a selloff in US energy stocks which have risen rapidly over the last weeks.
