Disappointing GDP Growth and Rising Inflation Spark Risk Sentiment U-Turn

Risk sentiment took a sharp downturn following the release of US Q1 GDP data, which revealed weaker-than-expected economic growth alongside an acceleration in both headline and core PCE price indexes. This combination suggests that the US economy may be caught in a challenging cycle where high interest rates are dampening economic activity without effectively curbing inflationary pressures. In response, DOW futures plummeted by over -300 pts at the time of writing, signaling a steep market open, while 10-year Treasury yield is making moves to break 4.7% mark.
