Market News Highlights

The dollar rose across the board, particularly against the Japanese yen, reaching its highest level since mid-1990 after US inflation rose more than expected in March. This pushed out the expected timing of a first rate cut to September from June. US stocks tumbled to a lower close after hotter than expected inflation data dampened hopes of an early Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Gold prices held steady near a record high as a mix of emerging inflationary risks and geopolitical tensions supported the safe-haven metal.
