Italian Prime Minister declares a state of emergency until December 31, 2022
On March 1, local time, Italian Prime Minister Draghi signed a decree according to the opinions of the cabinet meeting and the Senate and house of Representatives, and declared a state of national emergency. The decree is valid until December 31, 2022, according to EUROLINK news agency.
The report pointed out that the implementation of the national emergency law will help the Italian government to simplify the temporary legislative procedures and take timely countermeasures against problems such as energy shortage and refugee relief.
According to Draghi, at present, Italy has a certain amount of natural gas stored, which will reduce the demand for natural gas as the weather gets warmer. In addition, the international community has sufficient oil and gas supply, which is expected to alleviate the shortage of natural gas in Italy.
"Only by launching diversified projects and establishing renewable energy and new natural gas supply channels can our energy supply be independent of a single country," Draghi said
crude oil prices soared to $110
Goldman Sachs: oil price risk is still underestimated
As an important exporter of crude oil, natural gas and other energy, Russia and Ukraine are in turmoil, and international oil prices and European natural gas prices continue to soar.
Brent crude oil prices hit a new high of $110.
Although the oil price continues to rise, most Goldman Sachs believe that the market still underestimates the upward risk of the crude oil market.
Goldman Sachs strategists said that investors are still too optimistic about the oil price risk caused by the Russian Ukrainian crisis, and are also too optimistic about the war's ability to slow down the pace of monetary tightening.
Goldman Sachs strategists led by Dominic Wilson wrote in the latest report, "from the perspective of oil price, the market may underestimate the risk of tight supply, which is still a major risk of continuous conflict - so the 'risk premium' here may be greater. In addition, we also believe that the market is beginning to exaggerate the impact of this conflict on the Fed's policy trajectory."
Oil prices rose above $105 a barrel yesterday as the Russian Ukrainian crisis continued to exacerbate the massive disruption of global supply. After all, Russia is the world's third-largest oil producer. Although the United States and Europe have so far not directly imposed sanctions on Russian commodities, the trade of these raw materials has been hampered by rising financing and transportation costs.
From oil to gas and wheat, the war has upended commodity markets, exacerbated inflationary pressures and spooked equity investors. Global stock markets fell in the first two months of this year due to concerns about radical monetary tightening and slowing growth recovery, while the economic impact of sanctions against Russia added another worry to investors.
Wilson pointed out in the report that "even if we really see the final easing of tensions, it now seems that there may be long-term policy and economic consequences, not just local assets". He warned investors to beware of long-term high commodity supply risks, the consequences of economic growth and inflation, rising European defense spending and long-term sanctions on Russian assets.
Goldman Sachs strategists pointed out that the risk of recent economic growth in the eurozone is higher than that in the United States, which will moderately increase the possibility of the European Central Bank slowing down the pace of monetary tightening. As for the Fed, strategists expect the impact to be more neutral, although traders are abandoning their bet that the Fed will raise interest rates by 50 basis points in March.
In its previous report, Goldman Sachs raised US inflation expectations for 2022 and expected the fed to raise interest rates in 2023 more than previously expected. The bank said that the hot inflation situation and extremely tight labor market will lead the Federal Reserve to raise the benchmark interest rate 11 times before the end of 2023.
