What’s important for investors this week

Frankfurt The capital markets have had a turbulent week. Whether this continues depends on various factors. In the US, investors are likely to focus primarily on the balance sheets of large US corporations. In addition to several US banks such as Goldman Sachs, the online video store Netflix and the electric car manufacturer Tesla also present figures.

The situation in Great Britain is likely to be a major source of uncertainty for the markets. There, after the turbulence on the bond market, Prime Minister Liz Truss fired former Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng and reversed another part of her controversial tax cuts. Experts doubt that Britain can afford the relief. It remains to be seen whether the partial withdrawal is sufficient to calm investors down in the long term.
