Chapter 798 Interest rate hike?
"In the past January, the inflation rate in England has risen to 4% on an annual basis..."
Daisy said to Barron on the phone:
< br>“This data has reached a new high in more than two years. Looking at it this way "In the future, raising interest rates is the most likely outcome."
In December last year, the inflation rate in England had soared to 3.7%. Since then, many voices have suggested that the Bank of England. It is very likely that a decision to raise interest rates will be made before spring arrives.
This includes Charles Bean, deputy governor of the Bank of England, who warned in an interview that raising interest rates may become necessary.
The outgoing member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, Andrew Centensis, also holds the same view...
But at the same time, there are also quite a few people who are opposed to raising interest rates. Some people are worried that this powerful medicine may directly kill the British economy.
“So it seems that the economic recovery in Europe, including Britain, is not as fast as expected. In addition, the domestic situation in Greece has not been fundamentally changed due to previous aid. On the contrary, including Ireland and Spain, Many countries are also showing signs of debt crises..."
Barron's words come to mind here, and I remember that Hungary has held the rotating EU presidency for six months since the beginning of this year.
The then Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at the time: "We must save the euro in the next six months."
At the previous annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, many people also He expressed concern about this year's economic situation...
He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the beautiful scenery of lavender mountains and fields in the distance, and continued to say to Daisy:
“According to my prediction, in order to save the euro, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund will provide further large-scale assistance to some weak countries in the euro zone, and there are also signs that there are some problems with the fiscal deficit in the United States, so I I think if the situation worsens, investors will start looking for safe havens..."
"You mean gold?"
"Yes, I think that in the short term, well, within four or five months, the gold price will break through again, reaching more than 1,500 US dollars per ounce, and may even continue to rise later."
The current international gold price is at It is around US$1,300 per ounce. If it really exceeds US$1,500 per ounce, it will become a record high for gold prices.
In fact, in the original time and space, just over three months later in May, the international gold price had already exceeded 1,500 US dollars per ounce...
And it reached 1,900 US dollars in August. Dollars per ounce!
Now, with the participation of Barron’s funds, the international gold price will surely be pushed up faster. After that, as the U.S. economic situation improves, the gold price will also reach the historical level. A pullback follows the high.
"It seems that we have to make a plan about gold futures again..."
"Yes, dear Daisy, I believe you have enough experience."

This year’s Valentine’s Day, Barron and the others still spent their Valentine’s Day at Grace Lavender Manor…
Well, it was very lively.
At a time when the world is in turmoil, Barron is very satisfied with the quiet and peaceful life in the manor. Of course, it would be better if the relationship between these women could be more harmonious.
But there is no way around this - even on Stamania Island, it is not really completely isolated from the world. In addition to seeing people passing by helicopters every day, The newspapers delivered every day are also online...
In other words, Amanda is not the only one who is very dissatisfied with Barron and Ivanta's previous relationship, which was reported by many media. Hester...
After Barron returned to Grace Lavender Manor, Tamaran directly expressed dissatisfaction with Barron...
As for the others, Bonnie had been cold to him for two days anyway.
In order to heal the consequences of this incident, Barron studied hard for a while.
Even at this time, Barron is not able to completely ignore the feelings of these women - yes, if he just possesses them, it will be much simpler; but if he further hopes to have a harmonious relationship with each other, , so a lot of what you pay is not just material things.
On February 15, the first protest against the Gaddafi regime broke out in Libya, and soon evolved into riots the next day. Clashes broke out between government forces and opponents, and the wave of protests also began to spread across the country.
Through Nigel Inkster’s intelligence, Barron also knew clearly that this time the Libyan opposition was supported by NATO, and the intelligence organization headed by the CIA sent Libyan troops to Libya during this conflict. The opposition provided intelligence, financial and weapons support.
On February 20, after several days of fighting, the Libyan opposition occupied Benghazi, and then successively occupied Bayda, Tupluq and many other towns, and the Libyan civil war broke out.
Two days later, the League of Arab States (Arab League) decided to suspend Libya’s qualifications to participate in Arab League meetings. The conflict between the opposition and Gaddafi supporters escalated. Many countries, including China, began to Libya evacuates its citizens.
At this time, Barron left Australia again, and this time he came directly to the Magic City.
"How are you, are you still adapting to the work?"
In Shanghai, Barron met Zhang Junning, who has become the president of Rich23 Capital.
Of course, regarding her work during this period, Barron's mailbox has received emails she reported - after all, she has been his personal assistant for so long, and Zhang Junning is still very concerned about Barron's reading habits. So through these emails, Barron is very clear about her job.
But now that he saw her again, he asked the question directly.
"Not bad. It is very different from the work I did beside you before. I need to be more proactive in advancing some work. I will try my best to adapt, Your Highness."
At the beginning After arriving in Australia on the Devonshire, Zhang Junning then went to Lijiapo to take over the work of Rich23 Capital.
In the shortest possible time, she became familiar with some aspects of this investment company, and then took her team to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to participate in DJI’s new round of financing.
"It is now confirmed that we will join this financing. Our valuation of DJI is US$250 million. After this financing, we will slightly expand our holdings in this company..."
In the original time and space, DJI did not start its first round of financing until 2012, but now Rich23 Capital’s participation can be said to have accelerated DJI’s development process to a certain extent.
