Ronald Temple, chief market strategist at Lazard Asset Management, said that inflation in the eurozone continues to fall, combined with the consistently dovish tone of European Central Bank officials, making it almost certain that interest rates will be cut this Thursday. The European Central Bank had previously defined the neutral monetary policy level as a range of 1.75%-2.25%. "Any signal of a change in this view would be surprising. Given the more aggressive trade stance taken by the United States against the European Union, it is still expected that rates will be cut to 1.5% by the end of the year." According to LSEG data, the money market expects rates to be around 1.70% by the end of the year, slightly higher than the strategist's forecast.

Trump Shares Article Claiming Victory in Iran War, Lists Eight Achievements
On April 20, U.S. President Trump shared a commentary article by American political conservative Christopher Ruddy on social media, in which the author stated that Trump has decisively won the war. The article provided eight reasons for this 'victory': 1) Achieved the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and dismantling its nuclear program. 2) Undermined Iran's status as a regional military power. 3) Facilitated a de facto new Arab-Israeli alliance, as key Gulf nations recognize their future is closely tied to Washington and Jerusalem. 4) Weakened Iran's network of proxies that have disrupted the region for years. 5) Forced NATO members to reflect on strengthening NATO. 6) Diminished Russia's standing; although Moscow has temporarily benefited from sanctions relief and high oil prices, these are short-term gains. 7) Stabilizing the Gulf region and reopening energy flows will ultimately benefit global markets and the world economy. 8) The Iran conflict may make the U.S. stronger and better prepared for future wars. -
