At midweek, the infection with the new virus variant Omicron, which was also detected in the US for the first time, as well as inflation and interest rate fears had caused prices to fall. The US labor market report due this afternoon, which will be decisive, particularly for the Fed regarding the pace of the planned curbing of monetary policy, is likely to cause caution on the capital markets in the run-up. Moreover, it is still too early to assess the effect of the omicron variant. Dec 2, 2021 7:00:00 AM | LGT Navigator LGT Navigator: High degree of uncertainty stifles recovery attempt on equity markets Indications of a possible faster tightening of US monetary policy and the new coronavirus variant Omicron continue to create a high degree of uncertainty on stock markets. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve noted in its “Beige Book” that the US economy has recently grown at a moderate pace, with prices rising at the same time. Dec 1, 2021 7:00:00 AM | LGT Navigator LGT Navigator: Fed Chairman Powell shifts focus to inflation concerns According to Fed Chairman Powell, the US central bank does appear to be more concerned about rising inflationary pressures. The Fed could therefore accelerate the tapering process. A scenario that is causing nervousness on the US stock markets. At the same time, the inflation rate in the eurozone climbed to its highest level since the currency area was established. In addition to inflation concerns, the new coronavirus variant Omicron continues to weigh on stock market sentiment. The statement of Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel, who admitted that the existing vaccines are likely to have their problems with the Omicron variant and that it could take longer until adapted vaccines could be produced in sufficient quantities, attracted particular attention. Nov 30, 2021 7:00:00 AM | LGT Navigator LGT Navigator: Clouded visibility At the beginning of the week, stock markets recovered somewhat from last Friday's slump. Investors are currently cautiously weighing the latest knowledge regarding the new coronavirus variant Omicron. However, it is still unclear whether the variant is more transmissible or deadly than the currently dominant delta variant. Visibility will likely remain clouded by the increased uncertainty for some time. Investors’ focus will also remain on the inflation, which reached new highs in Germany and Spain. Nov 29, 2021 7:00:00 AM | LGT Navigator LGT Navigator: “Omikron” shakes capital markets worldwide Fear of a new coronavirus variant caused a sell-off on the international stock markets on “Black Friday” of all days, or rather a flight into safe values. It is still unclear how dangerous the new virus variant “Omikron” really is, but several cases have already been detected in various European countries. Until there is more clarity, this will continue to provide for continued uncertainty and increased volatility on the financial markets over the week in view of the already significantly more tense pandemic situation.
