Investor confidence is growing as they await a key US inflation report that could shed light on the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate decisions. On Wednesday, the MSCI All Country World Index saw a 0.1% increase, following a previous session where it closed at a record high. Since reaching a low point in April, the index has surged by almost 6% as risk sentiment improved due to the weakening of the US dollar and a rebound in Chinese equities.
Despite Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments suggesting that interest rates may need to stay elevated for a longer period to combat inflation, market expectations for a moderation in inflation are outweighing these concerns. Investors are closely monitoring the upcoming inflation report for further clues on the Fed’s approach to monetary policy.
Investor confidence is increasing as they anticipate an upcoming report set to be released on Wednesday that is expected to show a decline in underlying US inflation for April. This would mark the first decrease in inflation in six months. However, despite this positive news, there are still concerns about rising interest rates and escalating tensions between Iran and Israel that could derail global equities’ upward trend.
