Waiting for the central banks
However, apart from the market reversal in the zone of 890-900 points, the focus is firmly on the meetings of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday and the European Central Bank on Thursday, where the tone is expected to be given to the management of strong inflationary pressures. Now the pressures for action through the reduction of securities purchase programs are great, while it is clear that if Frankfurt decides, it will also affect Greece.
Of course, the ECB’s support to our country will continue only through the reinvestment program, ie the placement of funds from Greek bonds – as well as other bonds of Eurozone countries – which expire after March 2022 and at least until the end. of 2023, in other Greek titles. In any case, according to Capital.gr, and if and when it is judged that the market pressures are uncontrollable, the ECB will have in its quiver a remaining 100 billion euros from PEPP, which will reactivate, with emphasis in vulnerable markets, ie in Greece and possibly in Italy (due to possible political unrest).
Analysts insist positively
