Wall Street Ends Volatile Week Sharply Lower
All major US indices ended Friday’s session down over 2.5%, with the Dow logging their largest one-day drop since October 2020 while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 posted their worst day since March. Market sentiment remained dominated by lingering concerns that soaring inflation would prompt central banks to tighten monetary policy abruptly. The Dow lost roughly 1.9% for the week, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq underperformed by falling 2.8% and 3.8%.
US Factory Activity Growth Highest in 7 Months
The S&P Global Flash US Manufacturing PMI increased to 59.7 in April of 2022 from 58.8 in March, beating market forecasts of 58.2. The reading pointed to the strongest growth in factory activity in seven months, mainly due to faster rises in output, new orders and employment. Despite another marked deterioration in vendor performance, firms were able to increase production amid stronger client demand and the acquisition of new customers, mainly from abroad. Inflationary pressures remained marked, with the rate of increase in costs quickening again to the sharpest since last November’s series record amid reports of hikes in fuel, material and transportation prices. Output prices also increased at a record pace. Although firms stepped up their input buying and efforts to build safety stocks, backlogs of work rose steeply. Finally, the degree of confidence in the manufacturing sector slipped to a six-month low following greater geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns.

TSX Records Worst Week Since February
Canada’s main stock index fell for the third session on Friday, with the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite finishing below the 21,200 level for the first time in over a month and logging its largest weekly drop since February. Heavyweight materials stocks were among the worst performers, dragged by gold producers that tracked lower prices while rising bond yields punished the technology sector. Market sentiment remained dominated by lingering concerns that rising inflation would prompt central banks to tighten monetary policy abruptly. The index recorded its fourth straight weekly decline by falling over 3%.

European Stocks End Week on Sour Note
European equity markets ended the week on a bearish note, with Germany’s DAX erasing 2.4% and the pan-European Stoxx 600 down 1.7% on rising concerns about central banks tightening amid a slowing global economy. On Thursday, Fed Chairman Powell said at an IMF panel that a half-point interest rate increase would be an option at the next FOMC meeting, while signaling a faster tightening cycle. In Europe, the case for rate hikes as soon as July gained support following several hawkish comments from ECB officials, most recently Luis de Guindos. Meanwhile, caution prevailed ahead of the second round of the French presidential elections this Sunday, with incumbent Macron leading polls. All sectors ended in the red, with tech and luxury stocks leading losses, whilst German software giant SAP fell 1.9% after flagging a revenue hit of €300 million amid its exit from Russia. On the week, the DAX shed 0.2% and the Stoxx 600 erased 0.6%.

Dollar Hits Fresh 2-Year High
The dollar index broke again above the 101 mark, a level not seen since March 2020, as investors increasingly bet the Fed will need to raise rates faster to rein in soaring inflation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell made clear when speaking as part of an International Monetary Fund panel that the central bank remains committed to taming inflation, currently at 40-year highs, while opening the door for a 50bps interest rate hike in May. Several Fed policymakers, including regional presidents Mary Daly of San Francisco, Charles Evans of Chicago and Raphael Bostic of Atlanta, echoed such a narrative this week. The most pronounced buying activity was against the pound, which tumbled to a 17-month low against the greenback. Sharp gains were also seen against risk-sensitive currencies such as the Australian and New Zealand dollars. The DXY posted its third consecutive weekly gain by rising roughly 0.6%.

UK Retail Sales Fall 1.4% in March
Retail sales in the UK dropped 1.4% mom in March of 2022, following an upwardly revised 0.5% fall in February and much worse than market forecasts of a 0.3% decline, as affordability starts to weigh and consumers spend less due to rising prices. Biggest downward contribution came from non-store retailing (-7.9%). Sales of food went down -1.1%, amid higher spending in pubs and restaurants linked to reduced coronavirus restrictions, as well as the impact of rising food prices on the cost of living. Other decreases were also seen in sales of auto fuel (-3.8%), with some nonessential road travel being reduced following record high petrol and diesel prices. On the other hand, sales at non-food store sales rose by 1.3% because of growth in other non-food stores (2.9%), and household goods stores (2.6%) such as DIY stores. Compared to their pre-coronavirus (COVID-19) February 2020 levels, retail sales were 2.2% higher.

Oil Posts Weekly Decline
WTI crude futures nearly 2% to around $102 per barrel on Friday, posting a weekly loss of nearly 5%, weighed down by the prospect of higher interest rates, weaker global growth and slower demand from top importer China, even as the EU considered a ban on Russian oil. Concerns about the Ukraine conflict fanning inflation and denting economic growth dominated trading in the second half of the week. The IMF slashed its global growth forecast by nearly an entire percentage point. At the same time, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell indicated more aggressive rate hikes ahead to control inflation, dragging risk sentiment. In China, central bank governor Yi Gang said Friday that the country was not immune to external shocks and faced pressure from Covid outbreaks. Meanwhile, volatility is expected to continue with oil markets remaining tight as major producers struggle to meet output targets while the threat of an EU ban on Russian oil looms.
