Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady for a sixth straight meeting, keeping the level at a 23-year high to fight stubborn price increases. After a two-day gathering, the central bank decided unanimously to keep the benchmark lending rate unchanged at 5.25-5.50 percent, citing a "lack of further progress" towards its two percent inflation target. "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks," the Fed said in a statement. For months, the US central bank has held its benchmark lending rate at a high l...

New York (AFP) - La Bourse de New York, qui stagnait mercredi, a soudainement grimpé lorsque le patron de la Fed, Jerome Powell, a écarté la possibilité d'une prochaine hausse des taux d'intérêt malgré le peu de progrès du côté de la baisse de l'inflation. Vers 19H10 GMT, le Dow Jones grimpait de 1,30% et le Nasdaq de 1,46% après que M. Powell a noté qu'il était "peu probable que le prochain mouvement sur les taux soit une hausse", la politique monétaire étant jugée "suffisamment restrictive" sur la durée. Les taux obligataires à dix ans se détendaient à 4,61% au lieu de 4,68% la veille.

Overwhelmingly, analysts are expecting the Fed to hold rates steady yet again, neither providing rate cuts or hikes, for May. But for how long can the Fed keep this up? And what will be the consequences? Potential consequence 1. Increasingly impatient (and thrifty) consumersThis one is fairly self-explanatory. For months, the public of the US have been promised relief from a risen cost of living in the form of interest rate cuts. And that has not manifested. Here is what David Morrison, analyst at Trade Nation, says: As we’ve seen from this year’s CPI readings, and Friday’s Core PCE, inflation...

By Daniel ARONSSOHN Bruxelles (Belgique) (AFP) - L'Europe est sortie de la récession au premier trimestre, avec une croissance plus robuste que prévu, tandis que l'inflation sous contrôle devrait conforter la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) dans son projet de baisse des taux en juin. Le produit intérieur brut de la zone euro a affiché un net rebond, progressant de 0,3% par rapport au trimestre précédent, comme celui de l'Union européenne dans son ensemble. De son côté, l'inflation est restée stable à 2,4% sur un an en avril, a annoncé mardi Eurostat. Les analystes interrogés par Bloomberg et ...

Economic growth in the eurozone exceeded economists' expectations in the first quarter of the year, while the annual inflation rate for April demonstrated stable performance compared to the previous month. This halted the downward trend that began in January, but it also provided some encouraging signs for an anticipated European Central Bank (ECB) rate cut in June. According to flash estimates from Eurostat released on Tuesday, the annualised gross domestic product growth in the eurozone was 0.3% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the final quarter of 2023. This marks a significant impr...

Paris (AFP) - L'inflation en France a ralenti encore en avril, à +2,2% sur un an, selon les résultats provisoires communiqués mardi par l'Insee. La progression sur un an avait été de 2,3% en mars, alors qu'elle était de 5,9% en avril 2023 : la légère baisse cette fois s'explique par le ralentissement des prix de l’alimentation et du tabac, et le léger repli de ceux des produits manufacturés, tandis que les prix de l'énergie semblent avoir accéléré, précise l'Institut national de la Statistique. Les prix des services ont augmenté sur un an au même rythme qu'en mars, +3%, selon ces données provi...

As the cost of living crisis continues to sweep through most European countries, several workers have seen their savings and pensions erode, including retirement savings. This has also led to many being forced to increase their retirement ages, in order to make up the gap and be able to stay afloat in an increasingly uncertain economy. A new study by AgeCalculator.com, using Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data gathered from between 2000 and 2020, shows that retirement ages in several European countries have risen significantly during this period. Bulgaria takes th...
