Nu op veel plaatsen in de wereld de beurzen hard onderuit gingen zie je gelijk weer een zogenaamde "flight to quality".

Nu op veel plaatsen in de wereld de beurzen hard onderuit gingen zie je gelijk weer een zogenaamde "flight to quality". "Net nu meerdere grote partijen beginnen te accepteren dat de rente in de VS wel erg laag is, wordt er hardop getwijfeld aan de bestaande prijzen op allerlei exotische markten" De beurs in de VS en met name de Dow Jones heeft nog maar amper geleden onder de wereldwijde daling. Je zult dan ook zien dat daardoor de andere beurzen zoals de AEX ook tot rust zouden kunnen gaan komen. Men kijkt immers maar al te graag naar de "grote broer" in de VS...
Vanmiddag kwamen er cijfers over de producentenprijzen:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Led by higher energy costs, U.S. producer prices rose a hefty 0.9% in April, but prices outside of energy were well contained, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday. Energy prices increased 4% in the month, led by a 12.3% rise in gasoline prices. Natural gas prices fell 3%. But inflationary pressures were modest elsewhere at the wholesale level. The core producer price index for finished goods -- which excludes food and energy prices -- rose 0.1% for the second month in a row in April, a hopeful sign that higher energy prices have not led to a more generalized inflation. The Federal Reserve will get a better picture of inflationary trends on Wednesday, when the Labor Department reports on the consumer price index for April. Economists expect a 0.5% gain in the headline inflation rate, with a more moderate 0.2% gain in the core CPI."
