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).
在美国市场因感恩节而暂停交易之际,欧洲股市周四出现反弹,打破连续三天下跌的走势。德国消费者通胀数据低于预期,重新引发了对欧洲央行(ECB)更激进降息的乐观情绪。
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.
德国的年通胀率略有上升,从10月的2.0%上升到11月的2.2%,但仅略低于市场预期的2.3%。从月度来看,德国消费者物价指数(CPI)下降了0.2%,创下一年多来的最大跌幅。月度CPI意外收缩加剧了市场猜测,认为欧洲央行可能加速货币宽松政策以支持该地区的经济。
