- Inflation PCE in the U.S. fell slightly more sharply than expected to 5,0% with 5,1% expected level and 5,4% previosly. The lower inflation confirms a good decision on the part of the Fed to raise rates by only 25 bps. In May we will see possible the last hike in the cycle
- On the other hand, EMU inflation is also falling. Inflation falls to 6.9% y/y from 8.5% y/y on expectations of 7.1% y/y. This is the result of a strong decline in Spain and a marked drop in Germany. Lower pressure in Europe and tightening credit conditions may also suggest a reduced hike at the next ECB meeting;
- EURUSD was mixed, losing in the first phase of the session and then gaining after the US releases, eventually falling to levels at 1.0850. Surprisingly, there was also a deterioration in sentiment according to the UoM. Inflation expectations point to a strong decline in inflation on an annual basis, although this will remain above the inflation target;
- Stock market indices were again doing well, although the gains were not as strong as in the last few sessions and did not exceed 1% in Europe and on most US indexes. Nonetheless, the Nasdaq 100, for example is up more than 1% today, and this is also the best quarter since 2020, even despite the recent banking crisis, which was more than made up for in the stock market
- Crypto extends the bullish momentum with Bitcoin above 28 000 USD level and higher Cardano prices because of possible Ethereum Virtual Machine integration;
- WTI crude oil continues to climb and is above $75 per barrel. OPEC+ has no plans to change policy, and OPEC itself reduced production in March compared to February.
- Gas prices jumped hard today, from the bottom it was up as much as 8%, TTF gained 10%. This is most likely the result of the realization of profits at the end of the month
- Next week will be extremely interesting due to the data, although at the same time volatility may fade due to the upcoming bank holidays.
