Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.
- Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.
- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
- The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Venezuela criticizes return of US sanctions and claims it did not pledge to let opposition leader run in election

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel
- Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.
- Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.
- Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.
- Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
