    The key is to understand how it really works and who is right to work with. I was losing funds to a broker and by the time i realised it, i had already lost $52000 which was over half of my savings. I met a friendly trader and she directed me to the recovery agent Mr Bart Kasch. He helped me recover all my money, every penny. Referred him to friends and colleagues already, you can contact him if you need help at [email protected]

    May, 11. The European Commission expects the second wave of coronavirus

    The President of the European Commission said that EU countries could face the second wave of the spread of coronavirus, and all measures should be taken to prepare for such a scenario.

    Scientists from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control regularly assess the pandemic situation. At the same time, they concluded that new outbreaks of the disease can begin, even if current indicators are well controlled.

    Moreover, disappointing news comes from the East, where new cases of Covid-19 infection were again recorded in China and South Korea after a long period of their absence. China reported 17 new cases of coronavirus and closed the entrance to Shulan City. South Korea is also sounding the alarm, as 27 new cases of infection were recorded in this country as early as May 10.

    May 12. China will abolish increased import duties for a new group of American goods

    China freed another group of American goods from higher import duties, which were introduced at the height of the trade war with the United States. Withdrawal of duties takes effect on May 19 for a period of one year.

    The list of goods exempted from increased import duties contains 79 categories, including chemical products and industrial goods.

    Earlier in February, Chinese authorities had already announced the abandonment of additional duties on a number of US goods, including medical equipment required by the PRC to combat the epidemic of coronavirus infection.

    Such step (refusal of duties) demonstrates Beijing’s readiness to comply with the terms of the trade agreement concluded earlier this year with the United States, according to which China is committed to increase imports of American goods.

    May 14. UN: pandemic will reduce world production by $ 8.5 trillion

    According to the forecast of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the global economy will fall due to a coronavirus pandemic of approximately 3.2%, or about $ 8.5 trillion over the next two years. This can destroy almost all the achievements of the previous four years.

    According to experts of the department, GDP growth in developed countries in 2020 will be reduced to -5%. A modest increase of 3.4% is expected in 2021, but experts are not sure that this will be enough to compensate for the lost production volumes.

    In addition, global trade is expected to decline by 2020 at 15% amid a sharp drop in demand and disruptions in global supply chains. Analysts say that more than 90% of the global economy was blocked in one form or another, which led to a decrease in consumer demand and an unprecedented increase in unemployment.

    May 15. Eurozone economy contracted at record pace in Q1

    According to the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), the eurozone economy in the first quarter fell at a record pace, as measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic sharply reduced economic activity in the region. Today's Eurozone GDP data showed a decrease of 3.8% compared with the previous three months. This decline was the sharpest quarterly decline since data collection began in 1995.

    In annual terms, the GDP of the European region fell by 3.2%, and not by 3.3%, as previously reported, after growing by 1% in October-December.

    The economy of all EU countries in the I quarter decreased by 3.3% compared with the previous quarter and by 2.6% in annual terms. The German economy, the largest in Europe, contracted 2.2% in January-March compared with the previous quarter.

    According to the forecasts of the European Commission, the eurozone economy in 2020 may contract by a record 7.7% due to the coronavirus pandemic, while public debt and budget deficits will increase.

    May 25. US unemployment may exceed 20% in May

    White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said the US unemployment rate could be over 20% in May amid a coronavirus pandemic. The politician also suggests that in June unemployment will be even higher, after which it will begin to decline at a slow pace.

    «Forecasts would be more optimistic if the coronavirus vaccine were certified in July,» Hasset said, noting the detrimental effects of the pandemic on consumer activity and markets.

    In April, 20.5 million Americans lost their jobs, and unemployment rose to 14.7%. Such indicators have become maximum since the Second World War. Since the beginning of the introduction of quarantine measures and the closure of enterprises and shops, about 38.6 million applications for unemployment benefits have been submitted.

    May 26. Fed ready for policy change

    The Federal Reserve is ready to move on targeting the yield of treasury bonds – this was the conclusion made by market participants by analyzing the actions of the regulator.

    A similar policy has long been adhered to by the Bank of Japan, as well as the Central Bank of Australia since March. In other words, central banks, which have already reduced rates to zero, are beginning to conduct selective purchases of government bonds in order to keep the yield curve at certain levels, while giving a signal to the market that rates will remain low.

    Currently, the Fed is considering various tools to support the economy and the financial market in a way out of the crisis. Traders are sure that this is the path the American regulator will choose.

    If the Fed decides to take this step, bond purchases will not be carried out according to a previously announced schedule, but only when the central bank considers it necessary, and to the extent necessary to maintain the yield in a given range.

    May 27. EC wants to give an additional 11 billion euros to EU countries

    The European Commission proposes to adjust the multi-year financial plan of the European Union 2014-2020 to be able to allocate an additional 11.5 billion euros to the Union countries to combat the crisis caused by coronavirus.

    Every year, the EU draws up the general budgets of the union. The European Commission intends to create an additional fund to restore the EU from the crisis in the amount of 750 billion euros. The EC plans to borrow these funds in the financial markets and give countries in the form of grants (up to 500 billion euros) and loans (up to 250 billion euros).

    These proposals must be approved by the EU countries and the European Parliament before the money can begin to flow in 2020.
