Topic of the week: Towards a rapid return of Greek debt to investment grade
- The Prime Minister has a good chance of obtaining an absolutemajority in the second round of the legislative elections on 25th June;
- He will thus continue the reforms and investments necessary to benefit from Next Generation EU funds;
- Sustained growth, fiscal prudence and the very long maturity of sovereign debt bode well for the continued fall in the public debt-to GDP ratio;
- This suggests a rapid return of Greek debt to investment grade. Investors have begun to position themselves in this direction. Moody's will speak on June 9.

Chart of the week
The US equity market remains driven by the theme of artificial intelligence.The FANG index, which includes 10 leading stocks in the sector, has risen 64% since the start of the year. The broad S&P 500 index gained nearly 10% thanks to the contribution of these mega-cap stocks when in reality most stocks did not show any gain this year. Bear in mind that concentrated performance on a few stocks could spark market sell-off in the event of disappointment in US tech.
Figure of the week
For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, $1.70 now goes to clean energy technologies. Five years ago that ratio was 1:1.
