Trump said, "This country desperately needs aluminum. Selfishly speaking, we Americans need aluminum. We dont have aluminum. Most of our aluminum comes from Canada, and we desperately need it." Later Monday evening, Trump also proposed on social media a plan to build a "desperately needed" aluminum plant in Enola, Oklahoma. He wrote, "The United States cannot get aluminum, and if it is not approved, this aluminum plant will be moved elsewhere." Trumps remarks come as the US-Canada trade dispute escalates, with Trumps 50% tariff on metals becoming a focal point of contention. More than half of the aluminum consumed annually in the US comes from Canada, and the US and Canada were close to reaching an agreement last week to halve the aluminum tariffs. However, the Trump administration faces opposition from the US steel and aluminum industries, which are urging the government to avoid making too many concessions to the Canadian market.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
