Australian billionaire revives dream to set sail on Titanic II

  • Despite Palmer's decision to relaunch his dream, he admitted he currently does not have a ship and is seeking tenders to find a ship builder.

  • The replica of the ship closely follows previous versions and complies with current regulations. The ship will be 269 meters long, 32.2 meters wide, and accommodate 2,345 passengers.

Inflation on the retreat according to the Federal Statistical Office
Quick Glance: Inflation Decline and Consumer Impact
  • Inflation in Germany continues to decline, primarily due to cheaper energy prices. Experts predict a further decrease in the year ahead, but with potential challenges. Higher inflation rates diminish consumer purchasing power.

  • In February, energy and fuels decreased in price, while food prices increased. Services also became more expensive. Consumer prices rose by 0.4 percent compared to the previous month.

  • The German government forecasts rising consumer prices and wage increases above the inflation rate. The expectation is that employees will spend the money and boost private consumption. However, the Bundesbank President warns against premature interest rate cuts.

  • Despite the decline in inflation, the Bundesbank cautions against premature interest rate cuts. The European Central Bank aims for price stability in the medium term. Higher interest rates can curb demand but also burden the economy.

Fight against inflation: ECB leaves key interest rate untouched
Quick Glance: ECB Keeps Rates Stable: Inflation at 2% by 2025
  • The European Central Bank (ECB) kept its benchmark interest rates steady in March, anticipating a further decline in inflation. Price pressures are expected to reach the target of 2% by 2025.

  • The latest ECB staff projections suggest that inflation is projected to average 2.3% in 2024, followed by 2.0% in 2025 and 1.9% in 2026. Despite easing measures of core inflation, persistent domestic price pressures remain, partly due to strong wage growth.

  • The ECB reiterated its data-dependent approach, intending to evaluate economic data to determine the appropriate path of its policies. Market reactions to the new ECB staff projections saw a weakening of the euro against the dollar and a decrease in sovereign bond yields across the eurozone.

  • European equity indices surged, driven by heightened expectations of rate cuts following the updated ECB staff projections. Investors are eagerly anticipating statements from ECB President Lagarde, scheduled to commence at 14:45 CET.

Quick Glance: Texas Governor Addresses Criticism of LGBTQ Rights
  • Over the weekend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) downplayed recent criticism of new state laws targeting LGBTQ individuals.

  • In response to a letter sent last month to the United Nations accusing Abbott and other state officials of infringing on the rights of LGBTQ Texans through administrative and legislative actions, Abbott expressed that the international nonprofit should refrain from involvement.

  • In a joint letter in January to more than a dozen independent experts, working groups, and special rapporteurs at the UN, four LGBTQ rights groups claimed that Texas leaders had intentionally targeted the LGBTQ community during the state’s last legislative session.

  • The focus of the groups’ appeal to the UN is on seven laws signed by Abbott in 2023, including measures that prohibit gender-affirming health care for minors and heavily restrict transgender athletes’ participation in school sports.
