On this week’s AHR Market review.
In a week that capped off the end of the first quarter, equity markets finished slightly higher ahead of the Easter break.
In the latest dispatch from the economic front, the U.S. Federal Reserve's favoured barometer for monitoring inflation - the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index - has unveiled a more moderate ascent in consumer prices.
Meanwhile, a surge in consumer spending has led to an upward revision of the final quarter's economic expansion figures in the US.
US equity markets ended the holiday shortened week at record highs, finishing up 0.4%. European equities advanced 0.59% despite softer economic data from Germany suggesting slower growth throughout 2024.
On the commodities front, both gold and oil have continued their impressive performance, notching substantial weekly gains.
