DE30: DAX loses before the FOMC decision

Wednesday's session on the German stock market brings moderate declines in the DAX index. Investors' attention today is focused on the FOMC decision, macro projections and Powell's speech, which will be fundamental factors in creating market sentiment in the coming months. The Ifo Institute and the German Economic Institute presented their projections for 2023. The institutions expect a recession in the economy, which, however, will not lead to a crash. 

Germany's GDP will fall by 0.1% in 2023 (an earlier projection called for a 0.3% decline). 

The institute raised its 2022 growth forecast to 1.8% from the previous 1.6%. 

Ifo predicts that the economy will contract primarily in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. 

Inflation is expected to be 7.8% at the end of 2022 and 6.4% next year. In 2024, inflation is expected to be 2.8%.
