Early optimism over potential progress in US-Iran talks reversed late in the session on fresh geopolitical headlines. Sectors were mixed, with technology lagging and utilities outperforming.

Markets are expecting a better reading compared to the February print, but still remaining subdued. Commonly used as a proxy, Barclaysʼ Consumer Spend report for March showed steady card spending with strong essential activity offsetting slower discretionary growth.</li><li>USD/JPYsteadily ground higher, as the JPY underperformed its G10 peers despite hotter CPI and PPI prints that should, in theory, support the Yen. The latest data is most likely not going to affect policymakers at the BoJ, in which a 97% probability of a hold is priced in.

The nearest level that could provide some near-term resistance lies at 4.35%, while downside to 4.25% could be seen ahead of the Fed rate decision next week.</li><li>Bund futures, similarly, oscillated in a narrow range ahead of the German IFO survey.

Trump highlighted that the talks went very well and that the US will work with Lebanon to protect itself from Hezbollah; crude prices were unreactive following the post by President Trump.
