Top Gainers - global market
Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index continued to decline. In March, consumer price growth slowed down. Inflation amounted to 5% y/y, the lowest since April 2021. At the same time, there was a noticeable decrease in United States Retail Sales by -1% m/m. American economic indicators contributed to the weakening of the dollar. Note that most investors still expect the Fed to raise the rate by 0.25% from the current level of 5% at the May 3 meeting. This is a support factor for the US dollar. The strengthening of the Swiss franc was supported by lower inflation (+2.9% y/y) and Switzerland Producer Price Index (2.1% y/y) in March. The Japanese yen weakened amid the Bank of Japan's announcement of plans to create a digital yen (central bank digital currency).
