Qatari Emirs Palace: The Emir of Qatar and US President Trump discussed de-escalating regional tensions and ensuring energy market stability in a phone call.Ukrainian Prime Minister: He and Besente discussed in detail the necessity of strengthening sanctions against Russia.On April 16th, Federal Reserve Chairman Mohamed Mussaleem stated on Wednesday that high oil prices could push core inflation nearly one percentage point above the Feds 2% target for the remainder of the year, potentially requiring the Fed to maintain interest rates. Mussaleem said, "We are likely to see some transmission of oil prices to core inflation," and that by the end of the year, the underlying measure of price increases will be "slightly below 3%, perhaps around 3%," with further upside risks. Mussaleem said the Fed is likely to keep its policy rate in its current 3.50%-3.75% range "for some time," while monitoring inflation, employment, and economic data in the coming months—a view shared by many of his colleagues. The impact of last years tariff increases may be fading this quarter, and housing price inflation is also weakening. With rising oil prices, inflation in a range of service sectors remains high, and he would be open to raising interest rates if inflation starts to rise and potentially boost inflation expectations. Mussaleem also stated that the oil market represents "the third negative supply shock in 12 months," and coupled with rising tariffs and stricter immigration regulations, the inflation outlook and the job market face risks, potentially impacting economic growth. He believes that economic growth will slow this year, but will still be between 1.5% and 2%.According to MS Now, citing two Pakistani officials, the US and Iran may return to Pakistan next week for negotiations.On April 16, it was reported that on April 15 local time, a majority of U.S. senators expressed support for President Trumps military action against Iran.

The EUR/USD pair is expected to decline drastically below the near-term support level of 1.0950 during the Asian session. The major currency pair is attracting bids as the US Dollar Index (DXY) has shown a recovery move and surpassed the 102.00 level of resistance.

 

S&P500 futures have extended their losses during the Asian session in anticipation of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) decision to raise interest rates, which could undermine revenue guidance.

 

According to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book minutes, economic activity is stable in the majority of districts. However, loans and advances to businesses and consumers have decreased due to stringent credit conditions imposed by commercial banks in the United States in order to prevent uncertainty in an unstable environment.

 

In the interim, Fed policymakers remain optimistic regarding the economic prognosis due to the labor market's tightness. As reported by Reuters, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, James Bullard, advocated for the continuation of the central bank's policy tightening in view of the continued strength of labor market data. A Fed official added that the demand for labor has not yet diminished and that a robust labor market results in robust consumer spending.

 

Citi Group forecasts a fourth-quarter recession in the US economy due to the constrained US labor market. Previously, it was anticipated that the United States would enter a recession during the third quarter of 2023.

 

Investors are anticipating the release of Eurozone Consumer Confidence data. Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) data is anticipated to improve from -19.2 to -18.5. This may be the result of persistently declining inflation in the Eurozone, which reduces the burden on households.
