Amsterdam police said a car caught fire in Dam Square after an explosion and no casualties were reported.On April 3, Alan Vallance, chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, said that the new US tariffs may have destroyed hopes for a boost to UK economic growth and put the governments fiscal plans in jeopardy. Anything that brings additional costs, complexity and uncertainty to the global economic trading system is not conducive to growth, prosperity or improved living standards. However, the UK can be assured that it only faces a minimum tariff of 10% on imports imposed by the Trump administration. Looking ahead, the government should not respond to the news in a reflexive, tit-for-tat manner. Working to eliminate tensions and calm the global trading system should be the top priority of the British government.On April 3, Andrzej Skiba, head of BlueBays U.S. fixed income department at Royal Bank of Canada Global Asset Management, said that despite the negative impact of tariffs on economic growth, a U.S. recession has not yet occurred. The asset management company expects U.S. economic growth to slow to 1.5%, but does not expect a recession or two consecutive quarters of GDP decline. Skiba said: "This time, the Fed did not raise interest rates aggressively amid a slowing economy; the worst case scenario is that the Fed maintains higher interest rates for longer instead of raising interest rates."HSBC: Raised its gold price forecast for 2025 to $3,015/oz (previously $2,687/oz), and raised its forecast for 2026 to $2,915/oz (previously $2,615/oz).Frances CAC40 index widened its intraday losses to 3%, Germanys DAX index fell 2.3%, and Britains FTSE 100 index fell 1.58%.

The Australian dollar was trading below the 0.6600 US dollar support level during the Tokyo trading session. As a result of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, the asset is tumbling like a pack of cards (Fed). The two-day downtrend has resumed, and the asset is now trading below the round-number support of 0.6600. The asset is expected to have support close to the 0.65 level.

 

Investors believed the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 75 basis points (bps) for a third time in a row. Volatile hawkish counsel has had an effect on risk-sensitive and commodity-linked currencies. The Fed has put off job growth, economic prospects, the housing market, and demand for durable goods in order to maintain price stability, which is its core goal.

 

The target for maturity rates is 4.6%, which is significantly higher than the previous peak of 3.6%. Because of this, the distribution of loans will be slowed and the market liquidity will decrease. Lenders may also see an increase in their delinquency fees as a result. Since fewer loans are being made available, some companies may delay expansion plans.

 

The financial markets in Australia will be closed on Thursday for National Mourning Day. Accordingly, the performance of the US dollar index will continue to be scrutinized closely (DXY). The S&P Australian PMI data is expected to be issued on Friday, and investors will continue to keep a close eye on it. It is expected that the Manufacturing PMI would rise from 53.8 to 54.0. While we expect the Services PMI to drop from its current 50 to a much more modest 47.7.
