The key U.S. indices closed without any unified dynamics ahead of the release of inflation data for March. Analysts forecast its growth in annualized terms to 3.4% from February's 3.2%, and in monthly terms, on the contrary, its decline by 0.1 percentage points. The core consumer price index, which excludes food and electricity, is expected to decline to 3.7% from 3.8% y/y. In monthly terms, the index, according to experts, will fall to 0.3% from 0.4% in February.

According to JPMorgan, in the case of higher inflation, the likelihood that the Fed will postpone the reduction of rates will increase significantly, and this would provoke a fall in stocks, reports the opinion of the bank Business Insider. Macquarie also emphasizes the importance of the expected statistics for the market, noting that they will be of paramount importance.

Investors' attention this week is also focused on corporate reporting, which JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are set to unveil on Friday.
