updates: US economy experienced a cooling of business activity in April, with S&P Global's flash US Composite PMI Output Index falling to 50.9 from 52.1 in March. The reduction in employment, focused on services, marks the first decline since June 2020. The survey suggests that the US economy lost momentum at the beginning of Q2 compared to Q1. Despite the cooling of business activity, rates of inflation eased slightly, even as input prices rose sharply. The data indicates that the US economy is facing mixed economic indicators, with weaker demand and ongoing inflation concerns. The Federal Reserve is expected to leave its policy rate unchanged at its next meeting. The detailed PMI data reveals a more pronounced slowdown in services than in manufacturing, with employment within these sectors experiencing its first decline since June 2020—a critical indicator for the Fed in assessing the broader economic landscape. April’s survey highlighted a troubling decline in new orders for U.S. businesses, which fell below the growth threshold for the first time in six months. This contraction in demand is reflected across both the manufacturing and service sectors, with the manufacturing PMI slipping into contraction territory at 49.9. Additionally, input costs for manufacturers rose significantly, indicating persistent inflationary pressures despite the overall easing of price increases for goods and services. The outlook remains cautious among U.S. businesses, with future output expectations hitting a five-month low due to ongoing concerns about economic conditions. As firms navigate these complex dynamics, the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decisions will be critical in shaping the economic trajectory in the months ahead.

updates: The manufacturing sector in the U.S. grew for the first time in 1-1/2 years in March, with production rebounding sharply and new orders increasing. Layoffs are still high and input prices are rising due to the cost of gasoline and food. The data triggered a sell-off in Treasuries, pushing yields up. Futures markets show a 65% chance of a rate cut in June. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the economy is on a strong footing and there is no hurry to cut rates. The dollar is trading at its highest level since mid-November against major currencies. Stock index futures are steady, and European indices are positive. The market is waiting for Friday's non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to show the addition of 200,000 jobs in March. Wage growth will be crucial for the Fed. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will provide insight into the tightness of the labor market. Key developments for U.S. markets today include February durable goods orders and March JOLTS.

updates: The Australian dollar extends its gains against the US dollar due to improved risk appetite and a subdued US dollar.

The RBA is expected to maintain its current monetary policy stance throughout 2024, with a less restrictive approach anticipated in 2025. The US Dollar Index (DXY) extends its decline as US Treasury yields pare back their daily advances. The AUD/USD pair is trading near 0.6560, above the immediate support level of 0.6550. The key resistance region is around the psychological level of 0.6600. The Australian Dollar is influenced by factors such as interest rates set by the RBA, the price of Iron Ore, the health of the Chinese economy, inflation in Australia, and market sentiment. The AUD/USD pair is trading near 0.6520 in the Asian session, with a focus on risk sentiment and the upcoming US CPI data.

The AUD/USD pair is influenced by factors such as interest rates set by the RBA, the price of Iron Ore, the health of the Chinese economy, inflation in Australia, and market sentiment [ca66b065].
