Risk assets like oil, crypto and equities are experiencing a sell-off today. While there were no clear news for the drop, the fact that it has been steadily progressing throughout the day strongly hints that it is simply continuation of the move started ahead of the weekend.
Market continues to sell off amid risk of a global economic slowdown resulting from pandemic situation in China or tighter monetary policy. Pandemic in China is far from over and restrictions are not only being imposed in new place of the country but also become more stricter. This will magnify supply chain disruptions going forward what will have an impact on the global economy. Apart from that, central banks are getting more and more hawkish. Even in a central bank like ECB number of hawks is growing. Holzmann is the latest to call for rate hikes - he sees a need for 2- or 3 in 2022. This could explain EUR resilience to today's risk-off moods. Oil is also experiencing a heavy selling. While overall risk-off attitude is playing a key factor, it should be noted that Saudi Arabia decided to lower export prices for Light Arab crude to Asia and Europe.
