🚀 Market Focus Shifts to U.S.-Iran Talks Amid Inflation Concerns
Foreign exchange analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta noted that the market's attention is currently centered on the U.S.-Iran negotiations. According to Jin10, the inflation data for March, widely attributed to the ongoing conflict, is likely to be overlooked as the outcome of the talks takes precedence. While there is significant divergence in predictions for the overall CPI, forecasts for the core CPI are more aligned. The Federal Reserve maintains a neutral stance but has indicated readiness to tighten policies further if inflation expectations rise or if the conflict extends longer than anticipated. The market anticipates a 7 basis point easing by the end of the year, suggesting no changes in interest rates are expected in 2026.
