Citibank: The World Cup may bring temporary calm to the financial market.

Citibank believes that the ongoing FIFA World Cup could temporarily reduce market volatility. The reason is that millions of people will focus their attention on the tournament, leading to a decrease in market trading activity. When everyone's focus is on goals, penalties, and red cards, market participation temporarily decreases, and the trading environment tends to stabilize. Underlying issues such as inflation, interest rates, geopolitical tensions, etc., have not disappeared, but are temporarily put on hold during the global audience's watching period.
