Medium-term inflation risks actually include both upside risks and downside risks.On April 28, sources said that the ECB decision-makers are increasingly confident that they will cut interest rates in June in response to the continued decline in inflation, but they will not make a large cut. Last week, several ECB members attended the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank and talked about the possibility that the eurozone and global economy may deteriorate due to US tariffs. At the same time, the latest economic data released by the eurozone also reflects this phenomenon. As for inflation, there is no sign of deterioration due to tariffs. Sources said that more ECB members believe that it is a more appropriate decision to make the eighth consecutive interest rate cut of 0.25% at the interest rate meeting on June 4. The ECB will also release its latest economic forecasts on the same day. However, ECB officials remain open-minded and will make a final decision based on the data released next month.Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Russia has not received any proposal from the United States to assist in the operation of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Russia will continue to strike targets used by the Ukrainian military as well as foreign fighters and military instructors sent by Europe.

Sunac Has Missed Bond Payments And Anticipates Missing More

Sunac China did not make an interest payment on a $742 million offshore bond before the grace period expired, and the business expects it would not make payments on other maturing bonds, it announced Thursday.


It was obligated to pay $29.5 million in interest on the October 2023 bond that matured last month.


Sunac, the third-largest developer in mainland China by sales, stated that it has not paid interest payments on three additional offshore bonds that are currently in a 30-day grace period.


Sunac stated that the remaining balance on the October 2023 bond was currently $742 million.


It said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange, "The Group's contracted sales have continued to fall dramatically, while access to new financing has become increasingly problematic due to increased liquidity concerns among certain property developers."


"The Company does not anticipate making payments under the above-mentioned notes and other senior notes it has issued when they mature or within the applicable grace periods," the statement read.


Sunac stated that bondholders could seek immediate repayment of principal and interest if the October 2023 payment was missed, but it had not received any "acceleration notices" from these investors.


It stated that it was collaborating with bondholders to find a solution within a "reasonable amount of time."


Since April, Sunac has skipped four dollar coupon payments totaling $104 million.


It is the fourth largest bond issuer among Chinese developers, behind China Evergrande Group (3333.HK) and Kaisa Group (1638.HK), and Country Garden (2007.HK), which is still considered financially stable.


According to the announcement, the business has hired Houlihan Lokey (NYSE:HLI) as its financial advisor and Sidley Austin as its legal advisor.
