Australia's consumer confidence lifted 2.2 points in the April 6 to April 12 week to 64.5 points, recording its second consecutive weekly rise, while the four-week moving average fell 1 point to 62.2 points, ANZ said in a Tuesday report.Weekly inflation expectations declined 0.5 percentage points to 6.7%, while the four-week moving average was unchanged at 7%.The survey's measure for current financial conditions over the last year eased 0.8 points to 52.6, while future financial conditions for the next 12 months rose 4.4 points to 76.4.Short-term economic confidence for the next 12 months was up 3.2 points to 54.1, and medium-term economic confidence for the next five years gained 2.3 points to 76.7.The survey's "time to buy a major household item" subindex increased 1.6 points in the week to 62.7.Most subindices improved last week, which may have been driven by news of the US-Iran ceasefire, the report said.However, on a four-week moving average basis, inflation expectations remain at their highest since this subindex series began in 2010, the bank added.

Australia's Consumer Sentiment Slides in April on Rising Fuel Costs, Rate Hike Pressure: Westpac-MI

Australia's consumer confidence tumbled in April, as rising fuel prices and interest rates added to cost-of-living pressures and weighed heavily on economic sentiment, according to a survey by Westpac and the Melbourne Institute published Tuesday.The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index fell sharply around 13% to 80.1 in April from 91.6 in March.Australian consumers are facing renewed cost-of-living pressures from rising fuel prices and a 25-basis-point rate hike, driving sentiment to near historical lows and signaling prolonged weakness similar to the 2022 to 2024 inflation period, said Matthew Hassan, head of Australian macro-forecasting at Westpac.All components of the index fell sharply in April, with the biggest declines in "current conditions," especially "family finances vs a year ago," which dropped nearly 17% to 66.8 on higher fuel costs.Average pump prices reached AU$2.40 per liter in the first week of April, rising AU$0.37 from March, marking the largest increase in the survey's history despite a temporary fuel excise tax cut that lowered prices by AU$0.12 per liter.Consumers' outlook for the economy and their finances has deteriorated sharply, with both sub-indices falling as they anticipate continued economic strain, higher fuel prices due to the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, and little near-term improvement.Consumers expect higher interest rates and mortgage costs over the next year amid persistent inflation and potential further Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) hikes, weakening buyer sentiment, as the "time to buy a major item" index fell 15% to 83.3 due to cost-of-living pressures.Consumers' medium-term economic expectations remain relatively resilient, with the "economy, next 5 years" sub-index down 5.1% to 91.4, suggesting expectations that current challenges are temporary.Consumers are growing more pessimistic about the labor market, with unemployment expectations rising 9.7% to 147.8 in April, with job loss concerns increasing most notably in energy and interest rate sensitive sectors such as construction and hospitality.Homebuyer sentiment rose modestly in April, led by gains in the mortgage belt, but it remains well below its long-term average, while price expectations fell sharply but remain relatively optimistic.The RBA is expected to tighten policy again in May as persistent inflation and energy-driven price pressures outweigh weakening demand and falling real incomes.

Brent Crude Oil Expected to Reach $88 Per Barrel by End of 2026, ANZ Research Says

Brent crude oil is expected to stay above $90 per barrel for the remainder of 2026 and reach $88-per-barrel by the end of the year, as tight balances alone are sufficient to sustain the price of Brent near or above recent threshold levels, ANZ Research said in a Tuesday report.The longer the conflict in the Middle East drags on, the more persistent these price dynamics are likely to be, ANZ said.The conflict resulted in large‑scale, realized supply curtailments across core Persian Gulf oil producers. Relative to the analysts' January baseline, 9.5 million barrels per day of crude supply have been effectively removed from the market. This turned a modest expected surplus at the start of the year into a deep deficit.The oil supply recovery is likely to be slow, incomplete and uneven, leaving the market structurally tighter and more volatile through mid‑2026, ANZ said.An estimated 1 million to 2 million barrels per day of oil supply is at risk of being permanently or semi‑permanently lost due to issues such as reservoir damage, aging fields, deferred maintenance, and ongoing sanctions or financing restrictions, according to the report.

Australian Wage Growth Steady at 3.1% as Labor Market Stays Resilient, CBA Says

Australia's wages rose 0.8% in the March quarter while employment added about 23,000 jobs, pointing to a steady but gradually cooling labor market with wage growth stabilizing near a new baseline, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) said in a Monday report.Wage growth has remained steady at 3.1% annually, with recent CBA Wage insights indicating that Australia's labor market is beginning to stabilize after an extended period of strong performance."The CBA Wage insights series continues to show wages growth is steady heading into a period of higher inflation and inflation expectations period due to the Middle East conflict," said Belinda Allen, head of Australian economics at Commonwealth Bank.The labor market remains relatively tight with unemployment at 4.3%, while wages growth has stabilized around 3.1% per year, and there is currently no clear response to tightening conditions, though some easing is expected as economic growth slows in 2026, Allen added.Wage growth across Australia remains uneven by region, with Western Australia leading at 3.9% year-on-year in March, while Victoria and Tasmania lag behind amid a softening trend, and other states and territories recording moderate, steady growth.The bank stated that its internal data does not indicate a clear shift in trends for wages or employment, pointing to a broadly stable outlook despite elevated external risks and inflation expectations.

US Equity Indexes Rise Amid Gains in Tech, Financials; Crude Oil Pares Gains on Hopes for Iran Deal

US equity indexes rose, with financials and technology topping sector charts, and crude oil futures paring gains after President Donald Trump attempted to cool geopolitical tensions.The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.2% to 23,183.74, the S&P 500 climbed 1% to 6,886.24, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.6% to 48,218.25. Defensive sectors -- consumer staples and utilities -- were the lone decliners.All three indexes clawed back intraday declines after President Trump said that "we've been called by the other side," referring to Iran. The US-Tehran talks in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, over the weekend ended without a lasting peace pact, as uranium enrichment and the Strait of Hormuz remained the main sticking points."They'd like to make a deal very badly," Trump was cited as saying in media reports.West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures rose 1.6% to $98.14, and Brent crude futures climbed 3.2% to $98.27, after surging more than 7.5% each intraday.The CBOE Volatility Index slipped 0.6% to 19.12, after touching an intraday high of 21.58.US Treasury yields mostly fell, with the 10-year yield down 2.2 basis points to 4.30%, after rates rose across most of the yield curve earlier in the session.Trump's comments come as the US military blockade on all traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports came into effect on Monday, CNN reported.More than 15 US warships are in place to support the operation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a senior official."If any of these ships [that the president refers to as Iran's 'fast attack ships'] come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED," Trump said on his Truth Social post. Iran said no port in the Persian Gulf or the Sea of Oman would be safe if its ports are threatened, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.A US blockade might stop Iran's flow of oil revenue without destroying or capturing Iran's Kharg Island oil loading point, and so "potentially avoid escalatory Iranian attacks on its Gulf neighbors," according to a note from the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (GS), which reported higher Q1 earnings and net revenue pre-bell, is launching a new three-tranche offering in the US investment-grade debt market, with bond maturities spanning four to eight years, Bloomberg said Monday, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter.The Q1 earnings season has begun in earnest with the release of Goldman Sachs' quarterly results. Mega-cap banks, including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), and Morgan Stanley (MS), will report this week.Further in company news, Oracle (ORCL) said Monday it introduced AI-focused updates to its utilities software suite at its customer edge summit, targeting improvements in billing, grid operations, and asset management. Shares of the technology giant were up 13%, the top gainer on the S&P 500.Microsoft (MSFT), Salesforce (CRM), and ServiceNow's (NOW) recent sell-offs amid the broader software disposal are disconnected from the artificial intelligence opportunities over the coming years, Wedbush said Monday. Shares of Salesforce and Microsoft were up 4.8% and 3.6%, respectively, the Dow's top gainers.

March Existing-Home Sales Drop as Macro Headwinds Deter Buyers, NAR Says

US existing home sales decreased in March as softening job growth and weaker consumer confidence continued to deter potential buyers, data from the National Association of Realtors showed Monday.Sales fell 3.6% sequentially to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million units last month. The consensus was for a 0.8% decline, according to a survey compiled by Bloomberg. Sales declined in all regions month on month."Lower consumer confidence and softer job growth continue to hold back buyers," NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said.US consumer sentiment hit the lowest on record this month, reflecting heightened worries about higher prices and the overall economic fallout from the Middle East conflict, University of Michigan's preliminary survey showed Friday.The US and Iran failed to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend, fueling concerns about the durability of an already fragile ceasefire between the two sides.The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased to 6.18% last month from 6.05% in February, the NAR added, citing Freddie Mac data."We don't see much upside for sales over the next several months," Oxford Economics Lead Economist Nancy Vanden Houten said in remarks e-mailed to. "Given the backup in mortgage rates since the start of the war with Iran, we expect home sales to move sideways before starting to gradually rise at the end of the year."Single-family home sales dropped 3.5% month over month to 3.63 million units in March, while condominium and co-op sales fell 5.4% to 350,000 units, NAR data showed."Inventory remains a major constraint on the market," Yun said. "An additional 300,000 to 500,000 homes for sale would help bring the market closer to normal conditions and allow consumers to make purchase decisions without feeling rushed."The median sales price of existing homes rose 1.4% year over year to $408,800, marking the 33rd straight month of annual gains, according to the report."The supply of homes for sale rose in March, but increases are to be expected at the start of the spring home selling season," Vanden Houten said. "Higher mortgage rates will keep some sellers on the sidelines, leaving inventory relatively tight."

March US Existing Home Sales Decline More Than Expected

The pace of US existing home sales fell by 3.6% to a 3.98 million seasonally adjusted annual rate in March from 4.13 million in February, compared with a smaller decrease expected to a 4.05 million rate in a survey compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:30 am ET, data from the National Association of Realtors released Monday showed.Total sales were down 1% from a year earlier."March home sales remained sluggish and below last year's pace," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "Lower consumer confidence and softer job growth continue to hold back buyers."Sales of single-family homes were down 3.5%, while condominium sales declined by 5.4%.Sales decreased in all four regions of the country compared with the previous month. Compared with a year earlier, sales declined in the Midwest and Northeast regions but rose in the South and West regions.Homes remained on the market a median of 41 days, down from 47 days in February and above 36 days a year ago.The supply of homes for sale increased to 1.36 million homes in March from 1.32 million in February but were up 2.3% from the 1.33 million level a year ago.The month supply on market increased to 4.1 months from 3.8 months in February and the 4.0-months supply a year ago.The median home price increased to $408,800 from $398,000, up 1.4% from $403,100 level one year ago and the highest of any March reading on record.NAR drastically reduced its existing-home sales growth forecast for 2026 to 4% from the previous 14% growth rate."Mortgage rates have been rising, and that has led us to trim our home sales outlook for the year," said Yun. "Even with a more modest pace of sales growth, home prices continue to steadily increase due to minimal inventory growth."The monthly existing home sales report from the National Association of Realtors measures sales of single-family and multi-family homes for resale at the time of closing, including the number of existing homes available and the median sales price. A strong reading is a positive sign for mortgage lenders and related consumer product companies.
