US inflation data surprised markets by coming in 0.1% higher than expected, driving yields and the dollar back up to pre-Christmas highs. This has increased focus on whether the European Central Bank will signal an upcoming rate cut, potentially as soon as June, at its policy meeting today. Unlike the U.S., eurozone inflation unexpectedly fell in March amid economic stagnation and a softening labour market. If the ECB flags a June rate cut, it would put European policymakers ahead of the Fed, which markets don't fully price in for a cut until November. This had supported the euro leading up to the meeting. The dollar's broad strength has also pressured the yen past the 152 level versus the dollar that had prompted past intervention talk from Japan. China faces yuan weakness despite efforts by its central bank to steady the currency. Fitch also cut its outlook on China's sovereign rating amid tensions with the US over manufacturing capacity. Commodity prices like oil have risen, adding to inflation pressures.

With no data of note on today's economic calendar, a quiet session is likely to follow Friday's volatile Non-Farm payrolls day which led to a recovery in equity indices. Much stronger-than-expected US payrolls pushed back Fed rate cut expectations for the June meeting to around 50% (from over 60% previously). US treasury yields are trading back at levels last seen in November while the US dollar is depreciating once more and the gold price hits a new record high. Earlier this morning German exports dropped more than expected but industrial output growth topped forecasts. This week will see the ECB's, RBNZ's and BOC's April monetary policy meetings as well as the publication of the FOMC minutes.

Dear @Dave256, Thank you for your post. Please note that the clause warrants a change because as it stands it's at variance with the new rule which does not require clients to reactivate their accounts if they had not funded them in the previous tax year. The investment specialists are currently in discussion with the product development team to have this updated and removed from the pop-up because it creates confusion. We will keep you updated. Thanks, KoketsoIG
