LVMH reported a 3% rise in first quarter sales on Tuesday, marking a slowdown as rising prices prompted more shoppers who aspire to own its handbags and other luxury goods to hold back on splashing out thousands of dollars. The slower quarterly sales growth reflected comparisons with the same period in 2023, when sales were boosted by the lifting of COVID-19 curbs in LVMH's key market of mainland China and comes amid worries about a prolonged global slowdown which has knocked luxury companies' shares over the past year. The world's largest luxury group, owner of Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, said sales for the quarter ending in March were up 3% year-on-year on an organic basis to 20.69 billion euros ($22 billion), matching analyst expectations.
Markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) and investors are now turning their backs on the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in June. Select Wall Street experts are gripped by uncertainty and even believe a rate hike cut be next. State Street Global Advisors Chief Economist Simona Mocuta details the broader consequences of the Fed holding rates too high for too long. "We heard from the Fed earlier that disinflation is reason enough for rate cuts and you don't need to be at your target in order to begin the cutting cycle because we know it's a long process for these rate cuts to work through the economy," Mocuta tells Yahoo Finance. "The idea of the long lags, the idea of controlling the narrative, I think it's a mistake for the Fed to tie itself so tightly to any monthly data point... That is how the market may operate and even that is not always wise. But that's not how monetary policy should operate and I think the focus should be much more on the longer-term trend which remains one of disinflation."

According to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) new World Economic Outlook report, global economic growth will remain resilient. Yahoo Finance reporter Jennifer Schonberger joins anchor Madison Mills to break down Tuesday's report. Schonberger explains that the IMF sees the global economy expanding by 3.2% this year, on par with the growth seen in the previous year. She adds that the chances of a global recession this year are pegged at just 10%. Global inflation is also expected to continue to decline, driven by a drop in core inflation, elevated interest rates, weakening job markets, and relief from higher energy prices. Schonberger notes, however, that this forecast was made before Iran's air attack on Israel. The IMF also sees inflation driving expectations for global central banks to begin cutting rates in the second half of the year, with the international institution predicting the Fed will cut rate three times in 2024 by the fourth quarter, Schonberger explains.
