According to the Telegraph, Trump threatened Starmer with “high tariffs” over the technology tax issue.April 24 – According to Al Jazeera, Kenneth Katzman, a former Iran analyst at the Congressional Research Service in Washington, D.C., stated that while Iran has no new oil exports due to the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, Tehran currently has 160 to 170 million barrels of oil "floating at sea" on ships around the world. Katzman said, "I learned from an Iranian professor that based on these inventories, despite the U.S. maritime blockade, Tehran could still have a revenue stream until August. Theres still a long time until August. Can Trump hold out until August? Probably not. So he may have to consider drastic escalation to get the results he wants, otherwise he will have to accept an agreement that is not as good as he envisioned."Bank of England Deputy Governor Briden: The stock market is currently too high and is expected to fall.On April 24th, it was learned from the State Taxation Administration that tax authorities are continuing their special campaign to address tax-related issues arising from irregularities in investment promotion, and are thoroughly rectifying tax-related problems associated with the "invoice-based economy."

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.
