**INPUT** **OUTPUT** 花旗银行:世界杯或将为金融市场带来短暂平静 Citibank: World Cup may bring short-term calm to financial markets Odaily星球日报讯 花旗银行认为,正在进行的国际足联世界杯有望暂时降低市场波动。 原因在于:数以百万计的民众(其中也包括部分交易员与投资者)将注意力投向赛事,市场交易活跃度往往随之下降。 当大家的目光聚焦在进球、点球与红牌之上时,市场参与度会短暂走低,交易环境也会趋于平稳。 通胀、利率、地缘政治紧张等深层问题并未消失,只是在全球观众观赛期间暂时偃旗息鼓。(Bloomberg) Odaily reported that Citibank believes the ongoing FIFA World Cup may temporarily reduce market volatility. The reason: as millions of people, including some traders and investors, shift their attention to the event, market trading activity tends to decline. When the global audience focuses on goals, penalty kicks, and red cards, market participation briefly decreases, and the trading environment becomes calmer. Underlying issues such as inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions have not disappeared; they have merely subsided temporarily while the world watches the matches. (Bloomberg)
