Wall Street is rebounding after Washington officials stated that the US-Iran ceasefire remains in place, suppressing worries about a reescalation in tensions that could drive oil even higher. The development occurs on the heels of attacks across the region occurring just yesterday, as the grapple over control of the Strait of Hormuz continues. Stocks are rallying against this backdrop although Treasurys are barely advancing as technology equities lead and contribute to fresh records for the Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 benchmarks. Almost every sector is participating in the upside minus energy, communication services and real estate as hedging demand eases in light of the robust outlook for corporate earnings and quelled Middle East concerns. The economic calendar, furthermore, didn\u2019t stand in the way of the bulls, as ISM-services, JOLTS and new home sales all arrived near expectations while signaling healthy cyclical activity amidst heavy inflationary pressures. Stronger cost forces are indeed weighing on the fixed-income recovery, however, following a session when yields soared in response to anxiety related to an accelerating CPI and an associated Fed hike being priced into 2026\u2019s curve. Additionally, buoyant growth numbers and projections of wider fiscal deficits are also hampering bond gains. Elsewhere, non-energy commodities are all climbing, the greenback is steady and cryptocurrencies and prediction markets are catching bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Services Slow as Prices Curtail Shopping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Services activity expanded at the slowest pace of the year as consumer demand decelerated amidst heavy cost pressures. The Institute for Supply Management\u2019s (ISM) Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index delivered an April headline result of 53.6, weaker than the 53.7 projected and the 54 from the prior month. New orders sank from 60.6 to 53.5, as the unchanged 70.7 inflation figure weighed on transaction momentum. Still, business production, backlogs and exports were well above the expansion-contraction threshold of 50, printing 55.9, 53 and 52.1. Hiring remained weak, however, with the 48 number signaling that payroll reductions continued after March\u2019s statistic posted an even deeper 45.2. The report underscores risks to the economic outlook, as tired shoppers contend with adverse price forces that are outpacing wage increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
March employment vacancies were virtually unchanged, dropping negligibly from 6.922 million in February to 6.866 million, according to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Economists anticipated a slightly steeper decline to 6.860 million. The numbers signal that the hiring and layoff situations remains stable, as firms across the economy sustain their for-hire signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
New Homes Climb and Exceed Estimates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
New home sales expanded as the first quarter progressed with all geographies improving from a weak January for real estate. The 682k seasonally adjusted annualized units (SAAU) in March surpassed the 650k expectation as well as the previous two months, which came in at 635k and 583k. February and March were included in this morning\u2019s report because the government shutdown affected the release schedule for the indicator. Inventories grew and pricing slipped to the lowest levels of 2026, as 8.5 months\u2019 supply coincided with median and average closing values of $387.4k and $503.1k. Listings were the softest since December while valuations were the cheapest going back to at least July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Fixed-Income, Oil Are More Cautious Than Equities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
T<\/strong>oday\u2019s equity market exuberance stands at odds with fixed-income and oil, which are only reflecting a modest alleviation from the Middle East situation. On the one hand, stocks are optimistic that the geopolitical conflict and its associated disruptions won\u2019t negatively affect the outlook for corporate earnings or for economic growth much, however, crude and yields are still extremely elevated relative to the beginning of the year and increasingly signaling caution going forward. Indeed, WTI remains at $103 a barrel and the Treasury curve is implying a 28% chance of a hike by year-end, while the probability of a cut is at just 8% as the government debt complex pushes back against quickly accelerating price pressures. Investors are certainly bullish on stronger profit projections from the tech sector and appear unwilling to believe that a Trump chosen Kevin Warsh will lift rates in response to a CPI that is rising ahead of 4% this month. A monetary policy institution that tolerates above-target inflation is constructive to appreciating stock prices, and that\u2019s been a major contributor to the ongoing bull market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
RBA Governor: Higher Prices Are Inevitable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) hiked its key interest rate from 4.10% to 4.35% this morning, a widely expected move, but it also warned that the action may have little impact on limiting future price pressures. It was the third consecutive meeting in which the bank lifted the benchmark and was followed by Reserve Bank Michele Bullock opining that the soaring cost of oil triggered by the US-Iran war will cause price hikes throughout the country\u2019s economy and that this morning\u2019s RBA actions \u201care not going to do anything for inflation in the next six months.\u201d The Consumer Price Index is now forecast to hit 4.8% during the quarter. Prior to the US-Iran war, the RBA anticipated it would peak at 4.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singapore Retail Sales Reverse from February Decline<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After falling 4.3% month over month (m\/m) in February, retail sales in Singapore bounced back in March with a 3.7% jump. Relative to March of 2025, sales were 4.8% higher after climbing 8.3% year over year (y\/y) in February. With higher gasoline costs, the petrol service stations category led the m\/m ascent with a 16.2% increase. Other categories experiencing significantly stronger cashier transactions and the extent of the increases were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Wearing apparel and footwear, 12.9%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Mini-marts and convenience stores, 12.1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Watches and Jewelry, 8.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optical goods and books, 7.5%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Computer and telecommunications equipment 6.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Motor vehicles, parts and accessories, 6.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The recreational goods category, however, had the worst showing, recording a 9% decline. Other categories with contracting results and the extent of the drops were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Food and alcohol, 5.1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Department stores, 3.9%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cosmetics, toiletries and medical goods, 2.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optical goods and books, 1.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Canada Generates Trade Surplus after February Deficit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The value of Canada\u2019s goods exports in March exceeded imports by $1.78 billion, a strong reversal from the $5.11 billion trade deficit in February and substantially better than the economist consensus estimate for a $2.4 billion shortfall. It was the first surplus since January 2025 when exports exceeded imports by $3.95 billion. Goods shipped beyond the country\u2019s borders jumped 8.5% while imports slipped 1.6%, according to Statistics Canada. The recent surplus was driven, in large part, by metal and non-metallic mineral product exports climbing 24.0% to a record $15.3 billion. The growth was driven by an ascent of gold purchased by the United Kingdom. Higher oil prices, furthermore, pushed up the value of energy exports by 15.6% to $17.1 billion, the highest level since September 2022. Among 11 product groups, demand from foreign countries increased in seven, although when excluding energy and the category of metal and non-metallic mineral products, the rise in goods shipped beyond the country\u2019s borders was only 1.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hong Kong Economy Heats Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Hong Kong\u2019s first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.9% y\/y, according to a preliminary release. The result is notable acceleration from the 3.8% expansion in the preceding period and stronger than the economist consensus estimate for positive 3.5% rate. When compared to the final quarter of 2025, GDP was 2.9% higher following the 1% fourth-quarter growth. Exports were a key driver of the economic expansion, according to Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
