[OECD Chief Economist: Damage to Middle East Energy Infrastructure is Key to Economic Impact] (1) OECD Chief Economist Scapetta stated that the impact of the Middle East conflict on global economic growth and inflation depends in part on the extent of damage to energy production and transportation infrastructure and the time required for repairs. Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, the recovery of oil and gas supplies will be slower if the infrastructure is severely damaged, potentially prolonging the crisis. (2) Before the war, the OECD could have raised its global growth forecast for this year from 2.9% to 3.2%, but it remained unchanged due to the war. If energy prices remain high for an extended period, the global economy may only grow by 2.6% this year. Currently, energy prices have not yet reached the pessimistic scenario level, but infrastructure damage will push up prices. (3) Central banks need to be wary of the risk of inflation expectations becoming unanchored. If rising energy prices lead to a sustained increase in broad inflation expectations above the target, policymakers may have to intervene. Governments should focus their support measures on those most in need, rather than providing broad subsidies.

[Gasoline and Airfare Prices Unlikely to Fall Quickly After Ceasefire, Experts Say It Will Take Weeks or Even Longer] 1. US gasoline prices are expected to decline slowly, but not rapidly. The ceasefire news triggered a sharp drop in oil prices on Wednesday, but the price decline typically takes three to five days to reach the retail level, and the retail price drop is even slower. GasBuddy predicts that oil prices may fall by 1-3 cents every few days until the end of the week, but any new escalation of the situation could reverse the decline. 2. Raymond James analysts estimate that Wednesday's sharp drop in oil prices alone should have reduced the national retail price of gasoline by about 45 cents, from the current $4.16 to around $3.70, but this reduction will take at least two weeks to fully reflect at gas stations. Whether oil prices can fall further afterward depends on the speed of recovery of Persian Gulf exports. 3. Airfare prices will fall even more slowly. Aviation fuel prices have nearly doubled since the start of the war, with Delta Air Lines CEO calling the increase "unprecedented." JD Power's travel business manager stated that prices are stubborn, and airline pricing doesn't react as quickly as gas stations; it's too early to judge whether a ceasefire will affect summer airfares. 4. Even if the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens, a full restoration of shipping lanes and maritime traffic will take at least several weeks, and likely more than a month. Diesel and jet fuel prices will remain high "for some time." Furthermore, gasoline costs are higher during seasonal peaks and summer-blended gasoline, and experts predict that gasoline prices will be unlikely to return to pre-war levels of $2.98 per gallon this year.

[Capital Economics: German Manufacturing Shows Weakness, But Unlikely to Repeat the 2022 Sharp Decline] (1) Capital Economics analyst Andrew Kenningham said that German manufacturing appears to be shaky, with output falling 0.3% in February. Although the upward revision of January data partially offset the decline, output still fell slightly in the three months to February. (2) The manufacturing contraction was mainly dragged down by a decline in the construction industry and a drop in the production of computer, electronics and pharmaceutical products. (3) Looking ahead, Kenningham believes that a sharp decline in output is unlikely. Compared with the 2022 energy crisis, current energy price increases are far less than then, interest rates have risen only slightly, and some low-profit energy-intensive output has already been lost.

[US March CPI Expected to Rise by Largest in Two Years, War Aftershocks and Deficit Risk Raise Concerns] (1) The market generally expects the US March CPI annual rate to rise by 3.4%, higher than the previous month's 2.4%, marking the largest year-on-year increase in two years. (2) Based on historical experience, commodities such as aviation fuel, steel, aluminum, natural gas, fertilizers, and plastics are most likely to see price increases, and related industries have already felt the pressure. Concerns about the war with Iran have expanded from short-term oil price shocks to long-term compound effects, and economists are more worried about the "aftershocks" that may not appear for months or even years. (3) JPMorgan Chase CEO called inflation a "rotten apple" that could destroy stock market returns in 2026. Harvard professor Rogoff pointed out that the increased military spending due to the war will put pressure on the already tight US budget deficit, posing a risk of soaring bond yields, which could damage the stock market and affect affordability; existing supply disruptions are enough to keep oil prices high for a year.

[Fragile US-Iran Ceasefire, Unstable Dollar, Market Anxiety] 1. The dollar stumbled on Thursday as investors anxiously assessed the sustainability of the fragile US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Israel continued its attacks on Hezbollah, an Iranian ally, in Lebanon, with Tehran accusing the US and Israel of violating the agreement and calling continued negotiations "unreasonable." The Strait of Hormuz remained closed to unauthorized vessels, pushing oil prices higher. 2. The dollar index is currently up 0.06% to around 99.08, the euro has dipped slightly to $1.1659, and the pound has risen slightly to $1.3391. The dollar rose 0.2% against the yen to 158.81, amid market concerns that Japanese fiscal policy may become more expansionary. Overnight index swaps showed a 55% market expectation for a Bank of Japan rate hike this month. 3. Japan's consumer confidence index deteriorated for the first time in three months in March, indicating that the war could impact the economy and make it more difficult for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates. Kazuo Ueda stated that real interest rates remain negative, and financial conditions remain loose. 4. Analysts point out that the fragile ceasefire gives Iran greater leverage in controlling the Strait of Hormuz than before the war. The US will release PCE data today; strong data could trigger a dollar rebound.

[Ceasefire turmoil and Fed minutes weigh on gold in the short term, but support exists below] 1. Israel launched a large-scale airstrike on Lebanon, and the White House confirmed that Lebanon was not included in the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. Iran threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire and close the Strait of Hormuz again if Israeli attacks on Lebanon continued, suppressing market optimism, supporting the dollar, and putting pressure on gold prices. 2. The Fed's March meeting minutes showed that officials remained vigilant about upside risks to inflation and were in no hurry to cut interest rates, maintaining an overall stance of keeping interest rates high for a longer period. However, the minutes still projected one rate cut before the end of the year and another in 2027, limiting the dollar's rebound and providing some support for gold. 3. Traders are awaiting tonight's US PCE data and Friday's CPI report for more policy clues. With mixed fundamental factors, the short-term direction of gold prices remains unclear, and investors should remain cautious.

However, a robust foreign exchange buffer and a well-capitalized banking system will help mitigate these risks.

Since the start of the war, the Nifty Auto Index has fallen by 9%, underperforming the benchmark Nifty 50 Index's 6% decline. (2) The firm lowered its earnings forecast for the auto sector it covers for fiscal year 2027 by 2%-16%. Due to the conflict, raw material costs for Indian automakers have increased by 15%-20%, leading to a 2.5%-5% price increase across the industry.

[Technical Analysis: Gold's Bearish Tone Continues; a Break Below $4700 Could Accelerate the Decline] 1. The 4-hour chart shows that spot gold remains below the 200-period simple moving average and has failed to break through the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the March decline, indicating that the bearish bias remains intact. The MACD has slipped into negative territory, and the RSI is hovering around the neutral level of 52, suggesting that bullish momentum is weakening. A decisive break below the $4700 level could accelerate the decline in gold prices. 2. Initial support is located near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level (approximately $4604), with further support at the 23.6% retracement level (approximately $4411) and the previous swing low area (near $4100), where buying interest is expected to increase. 3. On the upside, initial resistance is around 4732, with further resistance at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $4760; stronger resistance lies in the $4897-$4915 range (the area where the 200-period moving average coincides with the 61.8% retracement level); even higher resistance points to the psychological level of $5000.
