US indices<\/strong> are surging, fuelled by renewed hopes of a breakthrough in the US-Iran conflict. Reports of a potential agreement in principle have sent oil prices sinking below $100<\/strong>, providing much-needed relief to inflation-weary markets.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

However, with liquidity expected to be thin due to the US Memorial Day holiday<\/strong>, analysts remain cautious about the deal’s final details. Meanwhile, the US dollar is softening, gold is catching a bid, and on the corporate front, Delivery Hero shares have spiked to an 18-month high following reports of a potential takeover bid from Uber.<\/em><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 <\/strong>US Core PCE Price Index \u2013 14:30, Thursday (CEST)<\/b><\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation metric. With the previous reading at 0.3%, markets will intensely parse this data for signs that underlying price pressures are easing, which could shape the Fed’s future rate path.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 <\/strong>US GDP \u2013 14:30, Thursday (CEST)<\/b><\/p>\n

The broadest measure of US economic growth. Quarter-over-quarter growth is expected to remain unchanged. A surprise in either direction will offer a critical read on whether the US economy can withstand the recent energy shock.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 <\/strong>German CPI \u2013 14:00, Friday (CEST)<\/b><\/p>\n

Germany’s flash inflation data serves as a key leading indicator for broader Eurozone inflation. This print will set expectations for the European Central Bank’s next moves.<\/span><\/p>\n
