- **Nasdaq Composite:** ▲ 2.6%
- **S&P 500:** ▲ 1.8%

## Chinese Equities Continue Upward Momentum

Chinese stocks extended their gains, with the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rising 2.93%, driven by expectations of easing trade frictions and potential policy support.

## Global Economic Headlines

### Oil Prices Decline on OPEC+ Output Considerations

Crude oil prices fell by 3% as sources indicated that OPEC+ is considering accelerating oil output increases in June, raising concerns about potential oversupply.

### Eurozone Inflation Shows Mixed Signals

The Eurozone’s annual inflation rate stood at 2.2% in March, slightly down from February’s 2.3%. However, ECB’s survey suggests inflation may remain elevated longer than previously expected.

### India’s Inflation Hits Near Six-Year Low

India’s retail inflation dropped to 3.34% in March, the lowest in nearly six years, primarily due to declining food prices. This opens the door for potential RBI rate cuts.

## Conclusion

Markets rallied on April 23, reflecting investor optimism over easing trade tensions and stabilizing global conditions. With earnings season in full swing, attention remains on macro trends and corporate performance.
