The management of the Bank of England at a meeting on Thursday, February 7, unanimously voted to keep the key rate at 0.75. Regulatory officials said the UK economy slowed down late last year and early this year.
Representatives of the Bank of England said that the country's economy in 2019 could show the slowest GDP growth in 10 years due to the uncertainty around Brexit, as well as a slowdown in global growth.
At the same time, representatives of the regulator said that they would return to raising interest rates in the event of the implementation of a soft scenario of a country's exit from the EU.
In addition, the Bank of England downgraded the growth forecast for the country's economy in 2019 from 1.7% to 1.2%. The growth forecast for 2020 was also lowered - from 1.7% to 1.5%.
S&P 500 指數在開盤時呈上升走勢,但不久後轉跌,因官員澄清先前被推翻的關稅仍將維持,直至上訴程序結果出爐。這削弱了投資者早期的樂觀情緒。
市場對美國國際貿易法院的裁決作出反應,該裁決認為特朗普政府的關稅措施超出了其權力範圍。此決定為S&P 500帶來了新的不確定性,因為投資者正在評估關稅回撤的潛在影響。
S&P 500指數突破了關鍵的5,908點位,這標誌著近期修正的結束,並為進一步的上升打開了空間。若突破5,998的阻力位,將為漲勢提供額外的動力。
美國總統唐納德·特朗普宣布對歐盟進口商品徵收50%關稅,但金融市場的反應較為克制。投資者越來越多地採取“威脅與撤退”策略,看到大膽聲明(經常未能實現)後反而買入股票。
