Output growth in both manufacturing and services has slowed to an extremely sluggish level, with businesses directly blaming events in the Middle East for factors including heightened customer risk aversion, soaring price pressures, rising interest rates, and disruptions to travel and supply chains. Inflationary pressures have risen sharply due to rising energy prices and supply chain disruptions. The acceleration in manufacturing cost increases has been particularly severe, the most dramatic since the "Black Wednesday" devaluation of the pound in 1992. The overall economic and inflationary impact depends not only on the duration of the war but also on the length of disruptions to energy markets and shipping, and the March PMI data clearly indicates that downside risks to economic growth and upside risks to inflation are already present. The Bank of England faces a challenging period, needing to weigh these risks in policymaking, striving to curb a continued surge in inflation while ensuring that a tough interest rate outlook does not exacerbate the risk of recession.On March 24th, Xiaomi Corporation (01810.HK) announced that in 2025, the companys IoT and lifestyle consumer products business revenue reached a record high of RMB 123.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%, with both domestic and overseas revenue achieving record highs.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD corrects to around $1,910 despite intensifying concerns of a global banking crisis

After reaching a new six-week high at $1,937.39, the gold price (XAU/USD) displayed a corrective move during the Asian session. As gold's allure is extremely strong amid growing concerns about the global banking crisis, a correction in the precious metal appears to be short-lived. Credit Suisse's debacle following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has triggered the risk of global financial instability, and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's (Fed) upcoming interest rate decision has bolstered the case for the Gold price.

 

S&P500 futures have shown a recovery move following Wednesday's sell-off as investors assess the banking sector's uncertainty. However, the motif of risk aversion has not yet completely subsided.

 

During the Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is fluctuating in a narrow range of around 104.60. It appears that the impact of banking sector turmoil is maturing for the USD Index, and investors are beginning to discount expectations for next week's monetary policy. According to the CME FedWatch instrument, the probability that Fed chair Jerome Powell will raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) has risen above 70%. While 30% of the probabilities support maintaining the current interest rate policy.

 

Increasing odds of a status quo monetary policy are supported by a declining Consumer Price Index (CPI), a rising Unemployment Rate, sluggish Retail Sales, and a declining Producer Price Index (PPI).
