On this week’s AHR Market review.
Equity markets rose for the third week in a row as quarter one earnings season draws to close and US markets once again get close to all-time highs.
With 90% of S&P 500 companies now having disclosed their earnings for the first quarter, the results have surpassed analyst predictions by a notable 8.5%, marking the most significant positive surprise since the third quarter of 2021.
Furthermore, profitability has seen an uptick after facing pressures throughout 2022 and part of 2023, largely due to a moderation in input-cost inflation.
Looking at monetary policy, the Bank of England (BoE) opted to maintain its base rate at 5.25%, following a 7-2 majority decision by its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its recent meeting.
Over the week the US equities added around 2% and US technology rose over 1%.
Looking to the week ahead, all eyes will be on the US CPI release on Wednesday.
