Ahead of crucial inflation data and a public event by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Wall Street saw a rise in premarket trading on Wednesday. Investors are keenly awaiting Friday’s inflation report, which the Fed will closely monitor for its next rate policy decision. Powell’s subsequent webcast discussion at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is expected to provide insights into potential rate cuts, with speculation of a reduction as early as May.

However, recent reports suggest a bumpier path in reducing inflation, with some costs exceeding expectations.

Meanwhile, global shares, particularly in Japan, were influenced by the yen’s decline to a 34-year low, prompting discussions among Japan’s monetary authorities.

Investors remain cautious as they consider whether the market has become overvalued after its recent rally, and analysts emphasize the need for broader profit growth to sustain current stock prices.
