Especulación en el mercado del cobre
|
Resumen:
El precio de los futuros del cobre ha disminuido 35% desde febrero del 2011 luego de haber presenciado un boom similar al del resto de las materias primas en la primera década del Siglo XXI. La explicación universal es que es la “recesión china”. No hay una “recesión china” y más bien se atraviesa por un estancamiento con deflación en Europa, Estados Unidos y Japón, por lo que quizás haya que mirar en otra parte para comprender. Las explicaciones de la caída de los precios no tienen soporte estadístico que las respalde en un análisis de oferta y demanda lo que indica que la explicación está en el factor especulativo de los mercados financieros.

La deuda bilateral Germano Griega
|
Resumen:
Actualmente, la estructura de la deuda griega es mayormente oficial, lo que significa que los riesgos sistémicos para la zona euro y la Unión Europea son muy inferiores a lo que habrían sido hace unos años ya que ahora los bancos privados son titulares de una proporción mínima de esa deuda. El enfrentamiento es entre el Gobierno Griego y el Gobierno Alemán, detentor de gran parte de la deuda privada rescatada.
Este trasfondo resulta decisivo para las negociaciones actuales, ya que revela que el objeto del rescate de Grecia no ha sido el de restaurar la prosperidad del pueblo heleno, sino salvar a la banca privada.

Economic sanctions deliver bigger global shocks than ever before and are easier to evade Not since the 1930s has an economy the size of Russia’s been placed under such a wide array of commercial restrictions as those imposed in response to its invasion of Ukraine. But in contrast to Italy and Japan in the 1930s, Russia today is a major exporter of oil, grain, and other key commodities, and the global economy is far more integrated. As a result, today’s sanctions have global economic effects far greater than anything seen before. Their magnitude should prompt reconsideration of sanctions as a powerful policy instrument with major global economic implications. Sanctions are not the only source of turmoil in the global economy. Energy prices have been rising since last year as the economic recovery from the pandemic encountered overburdened supply chains. Global food prices rose 28 percent in 2020 and 23 percent in 2021, and they surged 17 percent this year between February and March alone. The war has also harmed Ukraine directly as fighting has closed the country’s Black Sea ports, blocking its exports of wheat, corn, sunflower oil, and other goods. Fuente: |
