👀 This Week’s Macroeconomic Outlook: No agreement reached in US-Iran negotiations reignites geopolitical risks; Federal Reserve officials speak intensively

After a brief cooling period during the ceasefire, the Middle East situation took a sharp turn over the weekend. The 21-hour US-Iran negotiations ended in failure as no agreement was reached—Iran refused to accept the U.S. proposal of “no nuclear weapons development,” and Vice President Vance announced the end of talks but left room for negotiation. The previously announced two-week pause in attacks by Trump is approaching, with its future still uncertain. Meanwhile, a U.S. destroyer claimed to have completed the first wartime passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran immediately denied, and the information war continues. This week, geopolitics will once again dominate market sentiment, with every piece of news about the Hormuz situation potentially triggering asset price movements.

Beyond geopolitics, the core focus of this week’s macro calendar centers on two key signals: first, the intensive speeches by Federal Reserve officials combined with the release of the Beige Book, providing policy signals to the market; second, the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for March, released on Tuesday, will be a crucial indicator of how energy price shocks are transmitted to the production side.
