April 7 Weekly Crypto Market Report Overview

The week of April 14–17, 2025, will be a period of intense and critical data releases for the global economic outlook and central bank policy direction.

Incoming growth, inflation, and production figures from the U.S., Euro Area, China, Canada, and the UK—along with central bank statements—are expected to play a key role in shaping market sentiment.

Among the most notable developments during the week will be China’s Q1 GDP data and CPI inflation figures from the Euro Area and the UK, all set to be released on April 16. China’s economy is projected to grow by 5.20% year-over-year and 1.40% quarter-over-quarter, which could influence global demand expectations. On the same day, markets will be watching whether disinflation continues in the UK and Eurozone.

In the U.S., data on retail sales and housing starts will serve as important indicators of consumer demand strength.

On the monetary policy front, speeches from Fed members—including Chair Jerome Powell—along with the European Central Bank’s (ECB) interest rate decision and press conference, will be closely monitored. While no rate change is expected from the ECB on April 17, President Lagarde’s remarks will be under scrutiny due to rising expectations of a potential deposit rate cut.

The Bank of Canada is also expected to hold its policy rate steady at 2.75%, though upcoming CPI data and BoC statements could influence this outlook.

In summary, this week will bring a reassessment of global growth and inflation dynamics, accompanied by strong signals regarding monetary policy. Lower inflation data and dovish commentary could lead to positive repricing in risk assets, while weak growth or demand indicators may shift focus toward recession concerns.
