The New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations indicated that one-year inflation expectations rose to 3% in March, with gas price expectations jumping to 9%, the highest since March 2022.

Escalating geopolitical risk continued to dominate global markets' concerns, with safe-haven demand keeping the dollar index anchored near a multi-week high.

Markets remain fragile amid persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have pushed oil prices higher and revived concerns about inflation in Europe. While interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, attention could turn to the ECB's forward guidance and assessment of energy-driven price risks.

The 63-year-old will leave his current managerial role with Cypriot club APEA Akrotiri to take up the position on 16 March. Constantine had a spell in charge of Rwanda from May 2014 to January 2015 before he left to manage India.

In my first 10 months I ended eight wars, going on to list the Congo and Rwanda. But on Monday the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the Rwandan military and four senior officers, saying they are supporting militants in eastern Congo who resumed fighting within days of the December pact.

The question is no longer if Australia will adopt these technologies, but how it will scale them to protect the nation's financial stability. The economic benefits of modernization are now too large to ignore.

The expectations of a decrease in tensions triggered a pullback in oil prices, which in turn softened immediate concerns about inflation pressures.

With 2-year gilt yields hitting December highs due to a 40 per cent surge in UK gas prices and oil nearing $80, the Bank of England faces a significant inflationary shock. High-street banks are no longer competing on price but are instead protecting margins against rising swap rates.

Expanding your startup into Africa is one of the most ambitious and potentially rewarding moves you can make as a founder. With a rapidly digitalising economy and a booming young population, the continent offers a growth trajectory that is hard to find elsewhere. However, as you begin to scale, you will quickly realise that the financial landscape is not a monolith. Navigating 54 different countries means managing dozens of volatile currencies and banking systems.

Canada's economy could gain nearly seven per cent, or $210 billion, in real GDP by fully removing internal trade barriers between the country's 13 provinces and territories, according to a report published Tuesday by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On average, the barriers are the equivalent of a nine per cent tariff nationally, estimates the report, which was co-authored by IMF researchers Federico J. Diez and Yuanchen Yang with contributions from University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe.

The resilience of gold above $4,800 per ounce at this stage reflects a delicate and complex balance between traditional supporting factors and emerging pressures-one that cannot be superficially interpreted or reduced to the movement of the dollar alone. It is true that the U.S. dollar's retreat from its recent peaks, after failing to sustain its recovery momentum from a four-year low, provided gold with a short-term breather and attracted some buyers.

XRP ( ), more sensitive to these flows than Bitcoin or Ethereum, fell sharply as leveraged positions unwound. With economists projecting rates could hit 1.0% by September 2026, the macro pressure looks set to persist. Each incremental hike tightens the funding conditions that made crypto speculation cheap. But Japan simultaneously approved crypto tax reform that could override the entire carry trade narrative-slashing rates from 55% to a flat 20% and opening institutional floodgates.
