SHANGHAI, May 5 (SMM) – The US one-year sovereign CDS soared to 106 basis points, triggering market concerns. The US treasury secretary warned of "US economic disaster" if the debt ceiling is not raised. Subsequently, the collapse of the stock price of the First Republic Bank of the United States compounded market panic. Data released on Thursday showed that the US GDP rose merely 1.1% in the first quarter, far below market expectations. The preliminary reading of annualised US core PCE price index, an important inflation indicator, rose as much as 4.9% in first quarter, higher than the 4.7% expected. Growing inflation, sluggish economy, coupled with soaring risk of credit defaults, have put the US Federal Reserve in a difficult situation.
