The U.S. CPI in April recorded a year-on-year increase of 8.3%, and the market is betting that the Fed will raise interest rates by 70bps rate in June

Fundamentals:

The U.S. CPI for April, which was not seasonally adjusted, recorded an annual rate of 8.3%, which was lower than the previous value of 8.50%, but higher than the expected 8.10%. The monthly rate of the CPI in the United States after the seasonal adjustment in April was recorded at 0.30%, which was higher than the expected 0.20%, and was greatly reduced from the previous value of 1.20%. After the U.S. inflation data was released, although U.S. inflation fell slightly in April, it still exceeded expectations in an all-round way, strengthening the Feds expectation of expanding the scale of interest rate hikes. U.S. stock index futures plunged. Dow futures, which had previously risen more than 300 points, fell more than 200 points, while NASDAQ futures tumbled 200 points, a percentage drop of nearly 2%. After the release of the U.S. CPI data, money markets were betting on the Fed to raise interest rates by 70 bps in June, from 68 bps previously.

On Wednesday, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said the asset-buying program is expected to end at the beginning of the third quarter, with a possible rate hike a few weeks after bond purchases end, with action as early as July. European Central Bank Governing Council Villeroy also said that the European Central Bank will start raising interest rates this summer. European Central Bank Governing Council Mueller also said that the asset purchase program should end in early July or in the first few weeks of July, and25 bps interest rate hikes are certainly not far away suitable.
