The European Central Bank's interest rates have been rising, and an analyst highlighted that the main beneficiaries of this situation are the banks, which manage to obtain greater profit margins with the increase in interest rates.
The analyst mentioned in the article emphasized that the measures implemented by central banks have limited reach when confronted with energy shocks caused by geopolitical tensions.
These geopolitical tensions affect strategic points considered vital for maritime traffic and for energy transport, namely the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, regions that are fundamental for international trade of oil and gas.
