The failure of 2 regional U.S. banks in March, forced the Fed to temper those expectations, pushing the dollar to retreat.

And that follows record levels of last year, with a total of 1,136 tonnes purchased. So far in 2023, central banks’ net purchases stand at 125 tonnes. the strongest start to a year back to at least 2010, when central banks became net buyers on an annual basis.

Donald Trump, former president & front-runner for 2024 Republican nomination, pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, after an investigation into hush money paid to a porn star. While falsifying business records in NY on its own is a misdemeanor punishable by no more than 1 yr in prison, it is elevated to a felony punishable by up to 4 yrs in prison, when done to conceal another crime. Many legal experts assert the case remains weak & will fail to lead to an actual trial next year.
