European Mediterranean Seismological Center: A magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred in western Texas, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.On May 4, Musks SpaceX headquarters in southern Texas, Starbase, is about to become an official city. On Saturday local time, a vote to officially register the Starship Base as a Texas autonomous city was passed overwhelmingly. Most of the 283 eligible voters in the area are SpaceX employees. The base is the launch base for SpaceXs cooperative project with the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA, aiming to send astronauts to the moon and even Mars. Musk first proposed the idea of a star base in 2021, and there was no suspense about the approval this time. This victory means a lot to Musk. The billionaires reputation has fallen since he became the "spokesperson" of Trumps federal layoffs plan, and Teslas profits have shrunk significantly. SpaceXs employment and investment in the area have generally been widely supported by local officials. But the proposal to build a city has also attracted criticism, who worry that it will expand Musks personal control over the area and may have the power to close a popular beach and state park for launches.On May 4, according to The Information, Apple (AAPL.O) plans to adjust the release rhythm of its iPhone next year to cope with its increasingly large product line. It is reported that Apples first foldable iPhone is expected to be released in the fall of 2026 with the iPhone 18 Pro series and "Air" series models. At the same time, the standard version of the iPhone 18 will be postponed to the spring of 2027 and released together with the subsequent models of the iPhone 16e. Apples current product line has expanded to six iPhone models. With the addition of foldable models, the company needs to re-plan its product release schedule to ensure that the management and marketing of the product line are more efficient. The report pointed out that Apples first foldable iPhone will adopt a book-like folding form rather than a clamshell design. The screen size of this model is 5.7 inches when folded, and the screen size will be close to 8 inches when unfolded.May 3, local time, Russian Presidents Press Secretary Peskov said at a press conference that Russia expects Ukraine to take actions to ease the situation during the ceasefire in May.

As Fed Chair Powell endorses higher rate hikes, EUR / USD falls toward 1.0530

During the Asian session, the EUR / USD pair broke below the consolidation around 1.0550 to the downside. It appears that the major currency pair has resumed its decline, and further losses are anticipated due to pessimistic market sentiment. The currency pair is expected to find support near 1.0530.

 

Futures on the S&P 500 have lost their dead cat bounce as the motif of risk aversion gains strength. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has already reached a three-month high above 105.60, and gains are anticipated due to a general improvement in the appeal of safe-haven assets. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has surpassed 3.97 percent. Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, believes that increasing interest rates is "appropriate and suitable" for controlling the nation's rising inflation. He has asserted that the current monetary policy is inadequately restrictive to bring inflation down to the desired levels.

 

The extraordinary increase in payrolls reported in January has prompted contemplation of a higher termination rate than previously anticipated. Prior to this, Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that February's economic data was a one-time anomaly and that price pressures would resume their downward trend beginning the following month. Consequently, investors will gain greater insight following the release of the US Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Employment Change (Feb) data, which is anticipated to be higher at 200K compared to the previous release of 106K.

 

On the Eurozone front, investors are concentrating on German January Retail Sales data. Compared to the previously reported contraction of 5.3%, it is anticipated that the monthly data will indicate an expansion of 2.0%. As a consequence, inflationary pressures may intensify as a rebound in retail demand may boost the German Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

Klaas Knot, a policymaker at the European Central Bank (ECB), stated on Tuesday that the ECB is likely to continue raising interest rates for "quite some time" following March. According to him, the current rate of interest rate hikes could continue through May if underlying inflation does not decrease significantly.
