Summary: Risk on remains - Will CPI confirm peak inflation?
Good Morning
Risk celebrated another on-day with the USD Index in decline and stocks grinding higher. The Dow gained 0.7%, yesterday, the S&P 1.06% and the Nasdaq 1.27%. The USD Index fell below 108,15.
Main driver of the optimism seems to he hopes inflation is peaking on the one hand and large amounts of risk capital that want to be put to use.
EURUSD is trading at 1.0140, GBPUSD at 1.17 and USDJPY at 142.28. Gold and Silver are trading at 1722 and 19.70. Bitcoin at 22500 and oil is off the lows at 87.70.
UBS Group AG plans to increase its dividend to $0.55 and buy back shares to the tune of $5 billion for 2022
German Inflation data just came as expected and UK Unemployment slightoy better than expected, for the rest of the day, the ZEW Index for the EU as well as for Germany at 11 will be of interest, at 14:30 the USD CPI will be key. The annual rate is expected at 8.1%, down from 8.5% last month. If the decline is confirmed, it would raise hopes that the rate hikes are showing a positive effect.
Ethereum merge will draw attention
The Ethereum software upgrade, the so-called Merge, is expected to take place this week, according to its core developers. The new system, known as "proof-of-stake", will slash the Ethereum blockchain's energy consumption by 99.9%, developers say. Most blockchains, including bitcoin's, devour large amounts of energy, sparking criticism from some investors and environmentalists. We wrote about this here, and this is a key event to watch this week. The merge could make Ethereum more favorable to pension funds and other institutional investors that are under the scanner for environmental concerns, but there is also come skepticism an how scalable Ethereum could become and if it becomes more susceptible to attacks by hackers.
