Markets started the week with sellers.
Although investors with Bitcoin and altcoin investments are worried about the declines, we observe a general sales wave. Although there is no specific decline in crypto money markets, the decrease in risk appetite increases the anxiety of investors staying inside.
There are two factors that increase the anxiety in the markets. The first of these was the FED’s statements that it would accelerate the tapering. It is wondered whether the FED, which aims to end the tapering by March, will make a rapid increase in interest rates to curb inflation.
In addition, the rapid spread of the Omicron variant and the start of new closures in Europe worried the markets.
At a time when the FED started tapering, while the increase in covid concerns causes the sales to deepen, can the FED reduce the speed of tapering when new closings are on the agenda? questions began to arise. The uneasiness in the markets may continue until a signal comes from the FED.
When we look at the indices, we see that US futures, commodity group and European stock markets are sellers.
