Czech inflation slowed more than expected, bolstering arguments against an imminent interest rate hike as policymakers gauge the Iran conflict’s broader impact on the economy. Consumer prices rose 2.1% from a year earlier in May, according to a flash estimate from the statistics office on Thursday. The headline figure was below the 2.3% median estimate in a Bloomberg survey and matched the central bank’s projection for the month. The closely watched services price growth slowed to 4.7% but remained at levels that policymakers have called elevated. The Czech National Bank left the benchmark at 3.5% last month, saying that rates are still “moderately restrictive.” The board said it won’t react to the primary impact of higher energy costs but will closely watch out for a potential spillover into other prices. Governor Ales Michl has said the bank “won’t be afraid to raise rates” if there is a risk that inflation adjusted for energy will accelerate. While the most recent inflation slowdown is “positive news,” price growth is likely to move in the upper half of the 1%-3% tolerance range in the coming months because of the impact of higher energy prices, according to Petr Dufek , chief economist at Banka Creditas in Prague. “Therefore the CNB will remain cautions and maintain the option of raising interest rates open,” Dufek said. Central bankers have said that the domestic economy and monetary policy were in a favorable starting position when the Iran war broke out, giving them time to assess the situation without rushing with a reaction. While highly volatile food prices continued to dampen headline inflation last month, the central bank has said that this trend was likely to reverse later in the year. A central bank survey in May showed that most economists expected no rate change within one year, although the number of analysts predicting a hike in that period has increased. The market started betting on monetary tightening after the Middle East conflict erupted. Forw...

UBS Group AG said client sentiment remains positive but cautious despite geopolitical uncertainties and market turmoil, according to the bank’s co-presidents of global wealth management Iqbal Khan and Robert Karofsky . “The market is extremely resilient. Clients remain engaged but cautious and overall activity remains healthy,” Karofsky said at an investor conference on Thursday. “The market is pricing out some sort of resolution in the Middle-East,” he added. The commentary by one of the world’s biggest wealth managers is adding to a list of banks highlighting positive client activity despite inflation fears and other shock events including turmoil in private markets. “We continue to see demand for alternatives although shifting within the whole universe of alternatives,” Khan said. “We clearly saw more demand for hedge funds and multi-strats as much as continued demand for private equity,” he said, adding that interest in private credit has faded. With private credit funds being in the spotlight in recent months, suffering large outflows, there are signs of a spillover to other asset classes within private markets. The most recent fallout among alternative asset managers has been Swiss private equity house Partners Group. The alternative asset manager recently gated a fund amid rising redemption requests. UBS is one of the largest limited partners in the world and is distributing private-market products across the globe to wealthy individuals and institutional investors. The bank said in April that its balance sheet exposure to private credit is relatively low.
