There are very few macroeconomic events scheduled for Wednesday. The only item of note is the second estimate of Germany's Business Activity Index for April. Second estimates typically do not differ much from the first, so we do not anticipate this indicator will have a significant impact. Accordingly, the market is likely to show no reaction. No events are scheduled today in the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, or the United States.
Once again, there is no point in discussing any fundamental events besides Trump's trade war. The escalation has been paused, and Trump continues announcing potential trade agreements without providing details. The dollar decline may resume if Trump begins to impose new tariffs, raise existing ones, or fail to sign trade agreements with most countries. However, the ongoing de-escalation of the conflict should, at least occasionally, support the U.S. dollar. It must be acknowledged that overall market sentiment toward the dollar remains highly negative, making it very difficult for the greenback to gain significant strength.
Thus, future market movements still depend entirely on Trump—specifically, on whether trade deals are signed and the previously imposed tariffs are reduced.
