Cleveland Fed projects May inflation at 4.18%, with Q2 CPI annualizing at 6.89%, the highest in three years. The Iran war's impact has led to soaring oil prices, causing U.S. gas prices to rise rapidly. As a result, hopes for rate cuts in 2026 have diminished, with potential hikes anticipated under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.

Fed's May inflation forecast spikes, rate cuts unlikely in 2026

Japan's GDP grew 2.1% annualized in Q1, exceeding the 1.7% forecast, driven by consumption, investment, and exports. However, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted 20% of global oil supply, leading to rising fuel prices and inflation risks. The Bank of Japan may consider a rate hike in June due to increasing import costs affecting inflation and corporate profits.

The Indian rupee is expected to dip at Monday's open due to rising U.S. Treasury yields and high oil prices, settling in the 96.08 to 96.12 range after hitting an all-time low of 96.1350. The Reserve Bank of India intervened to support the rupee, which is under pressure from inflation concerns and a strong dollar. Brent crude prices rose nearly 2% amid geopolitical tensions, contributing to a risk-off sentiment in the market.

Rupee caught in cross-currents of US yield surge, oil-led risk aversion

Brent crude oil has surged above $110, while the dollar has also gained, challenging the typical inverse relationship. Japan is considering increased yen support after previous interventions were ineffective, amid concerns over U.S. Treasury sales. Additionally, strong labor data and ongoing inflation are leading to expectations that the Federal Reserve may shift away from its easing stance in the upcoming June meeting.

UBS has reactivated its Global Supply Chain Stress Index due to alarming signals in global logistics, with stress rising at the fastest pace since the early pandemic. The index jumped significantly in March and April, prompting concerns over disruptions from the Middle East conflict. Analysts warn that continued blockage of the Strait of Hormuz could lead to severe global trade impacts and a potential oil shortage, while rising yields may negatively affect equities.

Oil prices keep swinging, and so do stocks worldwide

Household energy bills are set to increase by £209 annually from July due to rising oil and gas prices linked to the Iran war. Cornwall Insight predicts the Ofgem price cap will rise by 13% to £1,850. The increase is attributed to escalating wholesale prices and geopolitical tensions affecting energy infrastructure. Analysts warn of potential further increases in October as demand rises. Government support for households may be necessary if prices remain high, with energy providers advising families to fix their bills to mitigate costs.

European Shares Advance On US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes

In April, inflation reached 3.8%, outpacing wage growth of 3.6%, ending a three-year period of real income gains. The increase in inflation was largely driven by rising energy prices due to the Iran conflict, with oil prices exceeding $100 a barrel. In response, LA County has launched a $255M housing plan aimed at supporting over 3,000 residents through affordable housing and prevention programs.

Inflation outpaces wages as LA County launches $255M housing plan

Money markets now assuming a Fed funds rate HIKE of +25bp by March 2027, which seems absurd given that the U.S.-Iran war will likely be long over by then and if history repeats, brent crude falls back to the $70/bbl range as it did in 2022 within 9-12 months after Russia invaded Ukraine. Too many investors are blindly extrapolating out the current environment rather than thinking logically through what happens next with midterm elections in November.

On May 10, Trump tweeted angrily declaring Iran's latest response "completely unacceptable." Iran, through Pakistan, proposed an immediate ceasefire and the lifting of the naval blockade, while the US insists that Iran suspend uranium enrichment and restore passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The two sides remain fundamentally opposed. Do you think there's any possibility of breaking this deadlock?

- The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 393.7 points, the S&P 500 increased by 137.5 points, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed by 803.4 points at the open.  
- These gains were driven by expectations that energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz could resume, leading to lower crude prices.
