Финансијска нестабилност Рима шокираће еврозону — Хеџ фондови се кладе на 39 милијарди долара против италијанског дуга
Хеџ фондови се кладе на обавезе Рима јер подаци С&П Маркет Интеллигенце-а показују да су инвеститори прикупили кратку опкладу од 37 милијарди долара против италијанског дуга. Хеџ фондови се много кладе против италијанских обвезница, а инвеститори нису кладили оволико против Рима од 2008. године, пошто се Италија суочава са политичком неизвесношћу, енергетском кризом и стопом инфлације од 8.4% у јулу.
Investors Expect Italian Debt Default Amid Country’s Shaky Bond Market, Energy Crisis
Italy’s economy has been volatile in recent times as the Ukraine-Russia war has wreaked havoc on the European country adjacent to the Mediterranean coastline. The country is dealing with a significant енергетска криза and Italian residents are being asked to turn down the heat this winter. The Italian economy has people speculating that it’s only going to get worse and Извештаји show a massive number of investors are shorting Rome’s liabilities.
Bond borrowing schemes highlight how investors borrow the Italian liabilities in order to bet that values will decline before the debt buyback is due. S&P Market Intelligence data показује €37.20 billion of Italian bonds were borrowed by August 23. The sum of bonds borrowed is the highest since January 2008 during the Great Recession. Italy has continued to print high inflation rates as well, with May posting 7.3%, June recording 8.5%, and July printing 8.4%.
The $37 billion in shorts suggests market speculators believe Rome will default and the financial shock will spread like a contagion across Europe. Italy is traditionally known for having a strong economy but the country has a dependence on Russian gas. The Међународни монетарни фонд (ММФ) warned last month that Italy’s economy would see a 5% contraction due to Europe’s tensions with Russia over the Ukraine-Russia war. Italy’s economic downturn is taking place amid India надмашивши the U.K. as the world’s fifth largest economy.
Извештаји noted in July that Italy and the country’s prime minister, Mario Draghi, have not done enough “to kick-start growth.” Despite Draghi’s pledge to save the euro in July 2012, Italy is struggling and the country pays the highest premium to borrow bonds after Greece. Holger Schmieding, an economist at Berenberg, said: “Draghi is trying, has done a little bit here and there but neither I nor the market are yet convinced that trend growth in Italy is strong enough.”
