Although the Ai Group Industry Index rose in April, it remained in contraction for the 33rd consecutive month, with trade and election-related uncertainties weighing heavily on manufacturing—especially in export-exposed areas. This development have reinforced expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia may cut its cash rate by 25bps to 3.85% at its meeting later this month. Elsewhere, top U.S. and Chinese officials will hold talks in Switzerland later this week, marking the first official public engagement between the world’s two largest economies aimed at resolving a trade war. ### Related Stocks - [State Street Corp.
