On April 26, UBS said that the current market thinking is consistent with the banks basic forecast, that is, tariffs will be reduced from the current announced level for the rest of the year, and the Federal Reserve will further cut interest rates this year. However, as uncertainty in trade, economy and Federal Reserve policy remains high, expected volatility also remains high. However, UBS believes that the US stock market is attractive, and the S&P 500 index target continues to be 5,800 points by the end of the year. UBSs current basic forecast is that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 75 to 100 basis points this year, but in the short term, the Feds policy flexibility seems more limited because it must balance concerns about economic growth with the risk of inflation recovery.According to AFP: Senior officials said that Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Trump may meet in Rome.Spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Rome to attend the Popes funeral.According to the Ukrainian National News Agency: Russian troops launched 414 attacks in the Zaporizhia region at night.Market news: Ukrainian President Zelensky and his wife arrived in Rome.

EUR/GBP increases from 0.8620 prior to German Retail Sales

After falling to roughly 0.8620 during the Asian session, the EUR/GBP pair has attracted buyers. In spite of a decline in the Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices, the asset has traded in a tight range between 0.8620 and 0.8660 during the past three days. A cross recovery maneuver is presently weak and requires further filters to become stronger.

 

The headline Eurozone HICP was released on Wednesday with a value of 10.0%, which was below the predicted value of 10.4% and the prior figure of 10.6%. As a result of a reduction in energy prices following electrification initiatives, inflationary pressures in the Eurozone economy have slowed, while food prices have remained steady. As a result of supply chain bottlenecks, the core HICP remained steady at 5%.

 

In the meantime, policymakers at the European Central Bank (ECB) are concerned about wage increases. When inflationary forces stabilize, greater salaries will persist, which could destabilize long-term inflation expectations.

 

Commerzbank thinks that a decline in the preliminary November inflation estimate has resulted in a 50 basis point reduction in the rate hike extent.

 

In addition, a bad German unemployment data reduces the likelihood that the ECB would raise interest rates at its December monetary policy meeting.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor German Retail Sales data. The economic report is expected to increase the annual contraction rate from 0.8% to 2.8%. In addition, monthly figures are expected to fall by 0.6% compared to 0.9% growth. ECB policymakers will delight at a decline in retail demand.

 

On the United Kingdom front, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) stated in November that food inflation reached a 45-year high of 12.4%, lowering household morale as they will be unable to reconcile increasing food prices with decreasing salaries.

 

As reported by the Financial Times, Helen Dickinson, chief executive officer of the British Retail Consortium, responded to the statistics by remarking, "Winter looks increasingly bleak if price pressures continue." This may impact the British Pound in the future.
