Despite the softer-than-expected inflation data released earlier last week, US inflation expectations shocked investors at last Friday’s release; the 1-year expectation jumped from 3.6% to 4.6% due to the surprise surge in energy prices. The expectation was a further easing to 3.5%.
And energy bulls remain in charge of the market, as besides the tighter OPEC supply, the US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that the US could begin buying oil to refill the strategic reserves and the EIA warned that the global oil demand will rise by 2mbpd to almost 102mbpd. Both helped keeping the price of American crude...

Yesterday was a typical risk-off day in the financial markets. The US treasuries rallied, the yields fell, and the stocks fell as well, as the latest set of economic data from the US showed further weakness.
The latest US ISM data revealed that the slowdown in US services was slower than expected – although services still grew in March, growth in employment and new orders slowed sharper than expected. The trade deficit grew and the ADP report showed that the US economy added around 145K new private jobs last month, versus around 200K penciled in by analysts.
The soft data...

US yields tanked and the US dollar slipped yesterday, after the US JOLTS data showed that the job openings in the US fell below 10 million in February.
Today, the ADP report is expected to reveal around 208K new private job additions in the US last month. Any weakness in the data will clearly be cheered by the Fed doves and could lead to further weakness in the US treasury yields, whereas a stronger-than-expected ADP print could bring the Fed hawks back to the market.
And if the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is any indication of the future...

Unsurprisingly, Monday’s price action was mostly about oil. The barrel of American crude settled around 8% higher than last Friday’s levels after OPEC announced that it will cut production by more than a million barrels per day. WTI closed the session above the $80pb.
Oil stocks rallied, leading to small gains in the S&P500. Nasdaq fell.
But ‘happily’, soft US ISM manufacturing data came to tame inflation pricing.
Also, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided not to hike the interest rates by 25bp at today’s monetary policy meeting. The latest slowdown in inflation and household spending convinced the Australian...

OPEC surprised on Sunday and cut its production by 1 mbpd.
The barrel of American crude rallied, equities and sovereign bonds fell on higher inflation expectations, the US dollar gained.
The stronger dollar will likely weigh on most G7 currencies, but oil currencies, like the Loonie, are in a good position to outperform their non-oil peers.
Likewise, oil giants should get a boost from the latest OPEC decision, whereas the rest of the indices will likely come under renewed selling pressure as a result of rising rate hike expectations amid higher oil prices.

March preliminary inflation figures from the Eurozone confirmed that headline inflation in Europe eased by a big chunk in March, thanks to the base effect - as we know compare war months to war months, but core inflation looks sticky, giving support to the European Central Bank (ECB) hawks and the euro bulls.
In the US, the US dollar is sitting at the low levels of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapse, and despite hawkish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials – hinting at further rate hikes to tame inflation – the banking stress and soft economic data prevent the...

Treasuries were flat to cautiously sold on the short-end and capital flew into riskier assets as bank stress further waned on Wednesday.
The US 2-year yield consolidated above the 4% mark, gold retreated to $1955 per ounce this morning, whereas the S&P500 rallied 1.42%, pulled out the 50-DMA offers and closed above the 4000 mark. Nasdaq 100 rallied nearly 2% and entered bull market.
But it’s important to remember that sentiment remains fragile after such a shaky month for banks.
And more importantly, if attention could finally shift to economic data, and economic data is not ideal, we could see...

Is ETH a commodity or a security and what type of implications would we face if it is decided to be either? That is the topic in today's market talk!

Investor sentiment improves as price action in bank stocks point at waning stress.
Treasuries give back gains on the back of weaker risk aversion and stocks come under the pressure of rising yields, which means – if banking stress wanes, the US will go back to fighting inflation.
In individual stocks, investor mood in Asia was not bad this Wednesday. Alibaba – which jumped more than 14% in New York yesterday, boosted sentiment in Hong Kong, while AMC rallied on news of a possible acquisition from Amazon.
In the FX, it could be time for the US dollar to halt...
