Executive Summary
A hotter-than-expected April CPI print of 3.8% is fueling concerns about persistent inflation, with economists noting that tariffs and supply-side shocks are contributing to rising prices.
The Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates unless the unemployment rate rises significantly, with one economist suggesting a threshold above 5% would be necessary to prompt action.
Geopolitical tensions are high, with President Trump traveling to China for trade talks, commenting on the Russia-Ukraine war nearing an end, and issuing a stark warning to Iran.
Tech and finance are increasingly intertwined, highlighted by eToro's launch of an AI-powered trading agent seeing rapid adoption and Google's reported talks with SpaceX for orbital data centers.
