ECB Governing Council member Knot: The central banks monetary policy meeting (decision) in June will be very complicated. 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.According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, a passenger plane from Moscow to Nalichik, the capital of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, returned to the airport due to a malfunction of the cabin pressurization equipment after takeoff on April 27.

Visa's earnings exceeds projections due to robust customer demand

Visa Inc.'s quarterly earnings above analyst estimates on Tuesday, as solid consumer spending and a vacation boom throughout the majority of the United States translated into greater card spending.


After being confined to their homes due to a pandemic, pandemic-weary Americans are spending lavishly on vacation and other leisure activities, helping to keep the economy on track despite the inflationary attack.


In recent weeks, big U.S. banks like as JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) and Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) have emphasized the resilience of consumer spending amid an uncertain economic outlook, a bullish sign for card companies.


The revenue of the largest payments processor in the world climbed during the third quarter due to a 12 percent rise in payment volumes and a 40 percent increase in cross-border volumes. Cross-border travel volumes increased 16% compared to 2019.


Visa (NYSE:V) still receives its share, according to TouchdownMoney.com creator Scott Lieberman. "While a company like Walmart (NYSE:WMT) may suffer if consumers change their spending from higher-margin apparel to low-margin groceries, Visa (NYSE:V) still receives its share."


Lieberman, who covered the credit card industry for almost a decade, stated, "Visa stands to earn whether people purchase champagne in a bull market or beer in a recession."


Visa announced an adjusted net income of $1.98 per share, far more than the $1.75 per share that experts had predicted.


American Express (NYSE:AXP) boosted its annual revenue forecast on Friday as a consequence of record card usage, as did the results of the payments processor.
