According to the Financial Times, several banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, are looking to shift risk to avoid being “overwhelmed” by data center debt.On May 4th, an Al Jazeera reporter pointed out that regardless of what is currently being discussed at the negotiating table, Iranians and Americans are speaking two different languages. What we are seeing may simply be negotiations to maintain dialogue, but this does not guarantee that unexpected events will not occur, triggering a new round of intense conflict. He believes that the differences between the two sides are difficult to bridge. When the US sets "surrender" as its bottom line, while Iran rejects any proposals that approach this situation, he sees no substance in the negotiations. However, the current situation presents a two-way pressure scenario: the US is pressuring the Iranian economy, while Iran is pressuring the global economy. It remains to be seen who will back down first. The risk now is that this situation, perceived as pressure from both sides, could escalate into a stalemate. In this scenario, war would once again loom, especially if Israel were to intervene to break the deadlock.According to Israeli media outlet Ynet, Israel is preparing for an escalation of the situation and has expressed skepticism about the US strategy of containing Iran.On May 4th, local time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held separate meetings with the Prime Ministers of Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on May 3rd. During his meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is willing to launch the next round of trilateral negotiations, with achieving a just and dignified peace being its core demand. Zelenskyy and Starmer also discussed support for Ukraines energy sector. Zelenskyy briefed Starmer on the situation on the front lines and the Russian attacks on Ukraine, emphasizing the need for a unified European air defense system.U.S. Special Envoy Witkov: Washington is currently in dialogue with Iran.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
