Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey stated on Thursday that consumer price index (CPI) inflation is expected to rise over 9% in the second quarter of 2022 and peak at slightly over 10% in the fourth quarter, reflecting projected higher energy costs. He repeated the assessment that inflation will decrease over time.
"Global commodity prices are assumed to rise no further in the central projection, global bottlenecks ease over time, and the weakening in demand growth and building excess supply lead domestic inflationary pressures to subside," Bailey stated. The BoE projected unemployment will fall slightly further in the near term, but then rise to 5.5% in three years "given the sharp slowdown in demand growth."

In the press conference afterwards, however, Powell said the Fed was “not actively considering” a further 0.75% rise, something the market had pencilled in for June or July said economists sending bonds and equities shooting higher.

This "huge relief rally in equity and currency markets" also spread to gold, noted Jeffery Halley, senior analyst at Oanda, but he added there was a risk of too much being read into the remark.

“In fact, Mr Powell didn’t specifically rule out a 0.75% hike next month, citing the need to be “nimble.”

The Fed also signalled another 0.50% hike is pencilled in for the next two meetings, noted Halley,

Shell (LON:RDSa) reported on Thursday a profit of $9.13 billion in the first quarter, its highest ever, boosted by higher oil and gas prices and a strong performance of its trading division.

First-quarter adjusted earnings rose 43% from the previous quarter to $9.13 billion, above an average analyst forecast provided by the company for a $8.67 billion profit.

That compares with earnings of $3.13 billion a year earlier.
