Global Market Update
- The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note neared 4.4% on Tuesday, reaching its highest level in approximately four months. This followed an 11 basis points increase on Monday, spurred by robust US data that tempered expectations for a June interest rate hike.
- Germany’s consumer price inflation declined to 2.2% in March 2024 from 2.5% in the prior month, in line with market expectations, according to an initial assessment. This marks the lowest rate since May 2021, edging nearer to the European Central Bank’s desired target of 2.0%.
- Consumer credit in the United Kingdom expanded by £1.378 billion in February 2024, a decrease from the £1.77 billion recorded in the prior month and falling short of market projections of £1.6 billion. This decline was primarily propelled by reduced net borrowing via credit cards, which dropped from £0.8 billion to £0.5 billion.
