TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
Germany’s benchmark Bund yield rose further to -0.17% in the fourth week of December, the highest in near eight weeks as risk appetite returned to markets and equity indexes recovered while investors assess how the Omicron coronavirus variant will impact the global economy. Preliminary data from Scotland, England, and South Africa pointed to lower hospitalization rates for those infected with the Omicron variant when compared to the Delta variant. Still, Germany renewed restrictions in the country amid a fourth wave, and the Netherlands entered a lockdown. On the data front, Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence gauge for January 2022 fell more than expected to a seven-month low of -6.8. Meanwhile, ECB policymaker Peter Kazimir said inflation in the bloc could stay elevated for even longer than the ECB anticipates. In December, the ECB announced a reduction in the pace of its asset purchases but pledged further stimulus avoiding any discussion about the possibility of future rate hikes.
