European Stocks Close Higher, Dollar Gains, Bitcoin Eases To $95,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday?
European Stocks Close Higher, Dollar Gains, Bitcoin Eases To $95,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday?
As U.S. markets paused for Thanksgiving, European equities staged a rebound on Thursday, snapping a three-day losing streak. Lower-than-expected consumer inflation data from Germany rekindled optimism for more aggressive rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB).
在美國市場因感恩節而暫停交易之際,歐洲股市週四出現反彈,打破連續三天下跌的走勢。德國消費者通脹數據低於預期,重新引發了對歐洲央行(ECB)更激進減息的樂觀情緒。
Germany's annual inflation rate edged higher, rising from 2.0% in October to 2.2% in November , but came in just below market expectations of 2.3%. On a monthly basis, Germany's consumer price index (CPI) fell 0.2%, marking the sharpest decline in over a year. The unexpected contraction in monthly CPI added to speculation that the ECB could accelerate monetary easing to support the region's economy.
德國的年通脹率略有上升,從10月的2.0%上升到11月的2.2%,但僅略低於市場預期的2.3%。從月度來看,德國消費者物價指數(CPI)下降了0.2%,創下一年多來的最大跌幅。月度CPI意外收縮加劇了市場猜測,認爲歐洲央行可能加速貨幣寬鬆政策以支持該地區的經濟。
