Abstract generation in progress

In February, the CPI increased as expected, with moderate inflation in core goods and services, but energy and food prices rose somewhat. After the data release, market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut remained muted, but considering the Middle East situation, U.S. inflation is expected to rise significantly in March.
The European Union recently announced a clean energy investment strategy totaling hundreds of billions of euros, aiming to accelerate the energy transition through large-scale funding support and regulatory reforms. Driven by surging data center demand, asset decommissioning, and grid modernization, utilities are entering a super cycle.
Greece’s economic fundamentals are positive. Although the Middle East situation poses potential risks through energy prices, Greece is expected to be less affected than most Eurozone countries. Banks are guiding clients to shift from fixed deposits to asset management products, reflecting a shift in investment culture.
