IMF threatens with recession. Market comment [Video]

Today's theme is last week's IMF forecasts. We are still in the quarter that will probably bring the largest post-war collapse in the economy. On the other hand, we have markets that have been rising up for several months. In addition, we are constantly accompanied by fears related to the pandemic, which are beginning to mix with the first wave. So there are several opposing factors affecting markets that, after a period of high optimism, are trapped.

We invite you to a free online training with the chief economist XTB - Dr Przemysław Kwiecień, where we will take a closer look at the current market situation
