Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving markets right now.
China's inflation data for April came in hotter than expected on both the consumer and wholesale fronts, with the Iran conflict pushing energy costs higher across the board. Beijing has managed to blunt some of that pain through strategic oil reserves and a broader renewable energy base, but the pressure on margins remains real and traders are watching closely.
Turning to Chinese equities, the Shanghai Composite snapped a four-day winning streak on Friday after advancing roughly two and a half percent over that stretch. The index is sitting just under four thousand one hundred eighty points, though futures are pointing to a positive open on Monday, suggesting buyers aren't done testing that resistance level just yet.
In the quantum computing space, earnings season is picking up steam and the stakes are high. Firms like D-Wave and Rigetti are reporting against a backdrop of recent share price weakness, and investors are hungry for any signal of commercial traction. A strong print from either name could be the catalyst that stops the bleeding and reignites conviction in the sector.
That's the tape.
