🚀 U.S. Inflation Pressures Persist as February PCE Data Anticipated The market anticipates that the U.S. February Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data will indicate ongoing inflationary pressures. According to BlockBeats, consensus expectations suggest a month-on-month increase to 0.4% and a year-on-year rate holding at 2.8%, with core PCE year-on-year at approximately 3.0%, significantly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Analysts highlight that the current inflation rebound is primarily driven by rising commodity prices and increasing energy costs, while 'super core services inflation' remains notably sticky, making a short-term decline unlikely. In this context, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the interest rate range of 3.50%-3.75% at its April meeting, marking the third consecutive pause in rate cuts. Market pricing has also shifted rapidly, with over 97% of traders betting on no change in April, and expectations for rate cuts within the year have cooled significantly, with mainstream views shifting towards a 'later, less' easing path. #USInflation#PCEData#InflationPressures#FederalReserve#InterestRates#EnergyCosts#CommodityPrices#SuperCoreServices#MarketExpectations#RateCuts#USEconomy#FebruaryPCE#EconomicOutlook#FedPolicy#InflationRebound

🚀 U.S. March CPI Expected to Rise Amid Ongoing Iran Conflict The market widely anticipates that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March will increase by 3.4%, surpassing last month's 2.4%, marking the largest year-on-year rise in two years. According to Jin10, during past oil market shocks, the most likely commodities to see price hikes include aviation fuel, steel, aluminum, natural gas, fertilizers, and plastics. Industries reliant on these materials are already feeling the strain. The ongoing Iran conflict, which has lasted several weeks, has shifted concerns from the initial oil price surge to the compounded effects of a prolonged conflict. For many economists, the most alarming aspect is not the immediate issues but the "aftershocks" that may emerge months or even years later. JPMorgan's CEO has referred to inflation as a potential "fly in the ointment" that could undermine stock market returns in 2026. Harvard University professor and former IMF chief economist Ken Rogoff recently discussed an overlooked impact of the war: the increased military spending's effect on the already strained U.S. budget deficit. He noted the risk of soaring bond yields, which could harm the stock market and affect U.S. affordability. Rogoff also mentioned that the current supply disruptions caused by the Iran conflict are sufficient to keep oil prices elevated for a year. #USCPI#inflation#IranConflict#oilprices#aviationfuel#steel#aluminum#naturalgas#fertilizers#plastics#economicimpact#stockmarket#JPMorgan#budgetdeficit#militaryspending#bondyields#HarvardEconomist#supplydisruptions#USaffordability

🚀 Federal Agencies Challenge Arizona's Gambling Laws Against Kalshi The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice have requested a federal court to prevent Arizona from applying its gambling laws to Kalshi. According to NS3.AI, the agencies argue that contracts related to sports and elections are federally regulated swaps. Arizona has initiated criminal charges against Kalshi, with an arraignment set for April 13. Should the courts agree with the federal perspective, prediction markets could potentially function across the United States under a unified federal framework, rather than being subject to individual state gambling regulations. #FederalAgencies#Arizona#GamblingLaws#Kalshi#CFTC#DepartmentOfJustice#FederalCourt#SportsContracts#ElectionContracts#PredictionMarkets#FederalRegulation#StateGamblingRegulations

According to Jin10, industrial output fell by 0.3% month-on-month in February, following a revised flat reading in January. The market had generally anticipated a 0.5% increase for February.
