Paris (AFP) - L'OCDE a relevé jeudi sa prévision de croissance mondiale en 2024 à 3,1% contre 2,9% lors de ses dernières projections en février, soutenue en particulier par le dynamisme de la reprise aux États-Unis, tandis que la zone euro reste en retrait. "Un optimisme prudent a commencé à gagner l'économie mondiale", a estimé l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques dans un rapport trimestriel, qui pointe du doigt la forte disparité entre les pays en fonction du repli de l'inflation, des baisses des taux d'intérêt pratiquées, et de "besoins d'assainissement budgétaire p...

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.

Die US-Notenbank Fed hat Hoffnungen auf rasche Zinssenkungen in diesem Jahr getrübt und sich hinsichtlich der hartnäckigen Inflation besorgt gezeigt. Es könne «länger als bisher angenommen» dauern, bis die Fed mehr Zuversicht gewinne, dass die hohe Inflation wirklich auf dem Rückzug sei, sagte Fed-Chef Jerome Powell bei einer Pressekonferenz in Washington. Die Notenbank der größten Volkswirtschaft der Welt hat den Leitzins zuvor zum sechsten Mal in Folge unverändert auf hohem Niveau belassen. Damit liegt er nun weiter in der Spanne von 5,25 bis 5,5 Prozent - das höchste Niveau seit mehr als 20...

S&P 500 is in the red at writing after the Federal Reserve left its benchmark overnight borrowing rate unchanged again. Why did FOMC not cut interest rates today?Note that the U.S. central bank has kept interest rates in the range of 5.25% and 5.50% – the highest level in more than two decades since July of 2023. The FOMC statement attributed today’s decision to a “lack of further progress” in bringing inflation back to the 2.0% target. Rates cuts remain unlikely until members of the federal open market committee have “greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent”, ...

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...
