On the European economic front, Spanish inflation plummeted as energy costs retreated, though persistent underlying price pressures underscored the dilemma for the ECB as it weighs how much to raise interest rates. March's headline reading came in at 3.1 per cent — down from February's 6 per cent and much lower than the 3.7 per cent median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists.

The market is discounting 100 bps cuts this year. What a unprofessional headline. Should read “the markets continue climbing expecting no recession and 100 bps cuts”
