US interest rates, greek debt, Brexit: all nodes to comb the markets – The Republic

MILAN – Greece, Brexit and the United States. The coordinates of the financial markets, in the coming week will be drawn according to the news that emerge on this triple front, after the Sendai Financial G7 noted the need to support the difficult recovery, he has ruled out a currency war and pointed their finger on the UK referendum as one of the greatest dangers of the year.

It will be a week full of public events for the leaders of the US central bank, starting from President Janet Yellen. The most awaited day will, however, on Friday, when it will be diffused the second reading of US GDP: any strong deviation from the first definitely affect the decisions of the FOMC. On the macroeconomic front, they are also expected data on GDP of Germany, Britain and Spain, and by Istat are coming in numbers on retail sales, orders and industrial turnover and confidence of businesses and consumers. Nerves for the Eurogroup meeting on Tuesday, which will be back on the Greek crisis talks. The IMF continues to demand an immediate debt restructuring but in Brussels (and especially in Berlin) do not want to hear about at least until 2018. From the latest rounds of meetings it seems that you are open for a few glimmers try to bridge the gap between the Fund and Germany: you think – for example – to allocate the proceeds of the ECB by the yields on Greek bonds in Athens itself, which then waits for a tranche of aid of about ten billion. The time begins to be little, because for July Greece has 2.3 billion at the ECB. Another possible route of exploration is the purchase by the ESM, the European Stability Mechanism, the greek debt underwritten by the IMF, in order to lengthen maturities and reduce the rate.
