The euro rebounded against the US dollar on the back of a broadly softer US dollar, and on the rising odds that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue its rate hikes.
Inflation in the UK didn’t ease below the 10% as expected. Higher-than-expected UK inflation, combined with the sticky wages growth printed yesterday, helped fueling the expectation that the Bank of England (BoE) may not be done with its interest rate hikes just yet, and may opt for another 25bp hike and take the bank rate to 4.5% on May 11.
Cable jumped as a kneejerk reaction to the...

Yesterday was driven by a broadly stronger US dollar, but also higher treasury yields and higher equity valuations as investor sentiment got a boost after a strongly positive surprise from the New York Empire State manufacturing index.
The US 2-year yield is now at around 4.20%, the highest levels since the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed, with potential of a further rise as the bank stress seems mostly abated by now.
Odds for Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut toward the year-end fell to 25bp, from up to 100bp expected at some point at the high of the SVB crisis.
The...

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...
