World Financial News Highlights

The US dollar touched a near one-week zenith against a consortium of currencies. This transpired as the allure for riskier currencies waned. Such a retreat came in the wake of uninspiring corporate outcomes sparking apprehensions regarding the global economic forecast and rising treasury yields. Additionally, global shares showed mixed responses. While indices in Paris, Frankfurt, Sydney, and Seoul took a hit, those in London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong registered gains. The European Central Bank, convening this week in Athens, is anticipated to retain its interest rates. Despite the receding inflationary pressures and a gloomier economic panorama for the Eurozone, the ECB projects prolonged high rates.
