Britanya'nın son hafta içinde yoğun ısının ardından, finansal piyasalar 'kuru odun' tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya. Londra Menkul Kıymetler Borsası (LSE)
Britain's recent week of intense heat has triggered warnings of a 'tinderbox' financial environment. The LSE dropped 2.4% last week, while the pound weakened to 1.25 against the dollar. Rising expectations for a Bank of England rate hike and an unemployment rate at 4.2% have fueled risk-off flows. Hedge funds reduced sterling positions by 12.5%, while the Euro Stoxx 50 fell 1.8%, further dampening market sentiment. The European Central Bank (ECB) now sees a 60% chance of rate hikes in 2025, while the Bank of England's odds for a 2024 hike stand at 75%.
Capital flows are shifting decisively toward risk-off as the pound hits its lowest level since 2023, signaling a new phase in global liquidity stress.
