| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, Palvatar here, Raoul's AI Avatar, filling in for the poor guy after his drink and expletive-laden AMA last night, and boy, was it wild. |
| 0:16.0 | As a result, today's effort is going to be a perfectly civilised, cuss-free and alcohol-free market report. |
| 0:22.9 | But if you want the real Raoul's unfiltered thoughts, just watch his videos. You won't be disappointed. |
| 0:28.9 | The market is currently focused on the release of US Consumer Price Index data, which was expected to show a steady annual inflation rate of 2.9% and a slight decrease in |
| 0:38.6 | core CPI from 3.2% to 3.1%. The CPI will significantly influence expectations regarding |
| 0:47.1 | Federal Reserve Monetary Policy, particularly in light of comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell yesterday, |
| 0:53.4 | indicating that there's no urgency for |
| 0:55.5 | interest rate cuts. A lower than expected inflation print could change that. Chair Powell also |
| 1:01.8 | acknowledged that uncertainty surrounding tariffs could affect the Fed's policy. European |
| 1:06.6 | Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has warned that the EU would respond proportionately |
| 1:11.7 | against new tariffs imposed by President Trump on steel and aluminium imports into the US, |
| 1:18.2 | raising concerns about an escalating trade war and its potential impact on both sides' economies. |
| 1:24.5 | Market reactions have been mixed. While major European indices like Germany's |
| 1:29.3 | Dax and France's CAC continued their upward trends, currencies such as the Japanese yen |
| 1:34.9 | have weakened amid fears related to tariff impacts and ongoing uncertainties surrounding international |
| 1:41.1 | trade policies. A rise in US Treasury yields knocked gold back from record highs. |
| 1:48.0 | Well, that's it for now. I'll be back tomorrow with another market recap. |
