Week’s main events (May 11 \u2013 May 15)<\/h1>\n
\n

The situation in the Middle East will remain one of the key drivers for global markets, as last week\u2019s ceasefire between the United States and Iran came under threat several times. Investors will continue to monitor any signs of further escalation or, conversely, progress toward a diplomatic settlement. Among major economic events, the primary focus will be on US data releases for inflation, retail sales, and industrial production, amid ongoing divisions within the Federal Reserve over the future policy path. In Europe, markets will assess the United Kingdom\u2019s GDP and trade figures, industrial production across the euro area, and Germany\u2019s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index. China will publish its inflation data, while the Bank of Japan is expected to provide additional signals on its future monetary policy stance. Corporate earnings from major international companies in the technology, financial, and industrial sectors will also play an important role in shaping market dynamics.<\/p>\n

The China CPI and PPI releases are the day’s high-stakes events for the Asia-Pacific region. While headline CPI is expected to stabilize near 1.0%, the real story lies in the PPI, which is forecasted to climb toward 1.5%-1.8%. This divergence is critical: it suggests that while Chinese consumers are still hesitant (keeping CPI low), the \u00abIran war shock\u00bb is driving up industrial costs (PPI). If the PPI beats expectations significantly, it will signal that China is \u00abexporting inflation\u00bb to the rest of the world, potentially complicating the Fed’s and ECB\u2019s plans to cut rates later this year. For traders, a hot PPI could boost the Offshore yuan (CNH) but weigh on Chinese Equities (HK50) as manufacturing margins are squeezed. In Europe, Norway’s Inflation Rate will be closely watched following Norges Bank’s decision last week to raise rates to 4.25%. With oil prices hovering near $100, Norway is experiencing intense \u00abimported inflation.\u00bb A reading above the projected 3.2% would cement expectations for another 25 bps hike by year-end, likely keeping the NOK strong against a struggling Euro. <\/p>\n
