TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The yield on the German 10-year Bund topped 0.5% in late March, a level not seen since October of 2018, tracking a general bond sell-off, as investors weigh central banks’ tightening cycles. Fed Chair Powell put a 50bps rate hike in the table for the next Fed meeting, few days after the US central bank raised the fed funds rate by 25 bps. Meanwhile, the odds are rising the European Central Bank will raise rates this year to fight inflationary pressures. Money markets are now pricing two quarter-point hikes in 2022, compared with smaller than one such increase at the start of the month, Bloomberg reported. Inflation in the Euro Area is already running at record highs and is now likely to be more persistent on the back of higher commodity prices and a tight labor market.
