U.S. markets ended in the red on Wednesday after Federal Reserve meeting minutes from last policy showed members expected the recent banking crisis to tip the economy into a mild recession later this year.
At the same time, U.S. inflation rate slowed more than expected to 5% year-on-year in March, marking the lowest print since May 2021.
