FX News Today

* 10-year Treasury yields are up 0.5 bp at 2.693% and JGB yields lifted 1.2 bp to -0.0013%.

* The negative sentiment that dominated much of the last months of 2018 continues to unwind, but markets will ultimately have to see permanent solutions and real results, otherwise they remain at risk of sliding back again.

* For now though markets are mostly in a positive mood and while the ASX closed with a loss of -0.26%, Topix and Nikkei rallied 1.06% and 1.34% respectively. The Hang Seng is up 1.21%, China’s blue chip index CSI is up 2.1% and the Shanghai Composite 1.92%.

* US futures are equally moving higher, as are European futures.

* Oil prices have also come back from the lows seen early in the week and the front end WTI future is trading at USD 53.64 per barrel.

* USD under pressure from that weak data yesterday, as US retail sales mix has revived concerns about the global growth outlook and without tangible results, markets seem unwilling to invest any more in trade talk hopes.

* Bund yields lower in opening trade, Equity markets mostly higher in Asia.

* Stock markets in Asia remained underpinned by hopes of a US-Sino trade deal.

* Wall Street closed higher, helped by positive earnings at Walmart Inc. Fresh.

* President Trump meanwhile suggested that March 1 tariff deadline is not cast in stone, so there is hope that further tariffs can be avoided.

* Japan’s exports fell 8.4% in January, while imports declined 0.6% y/y. The contraction in exports seems consistent with escalating concern that Japan’s export sector will be dented this year by global trade frictions and the slowing in China’s economy.

* The Yuan lifted after a Bloomberg report saying the US was looking for a pledge from China that it will not devalue its yuan currency as part of the trade deal.

* USDJPY has climbed to 110.91 from 110.60, amid cautious risk-on theme

* WTI crude edged out fresh 3-month high of $56.77.

* Juncker and May meet for another round of crunch talks in Brussels today.

* EU Consumer Confidence – The overall Eurozone number Consumer Price Index (M/M) on course to be confirmed at 1.4% y/y.

* FOMC minutes – The focus turns on the FOMC minutes to the January 29, 30 policy meeting as we look to glean more information on the Fed’s pivot to a more dovish point of view, even as rates were left unchanged. We did get a glimpse from Chairman Powell’s press conference, where he noted tighter financial conditions, along with tame inflation. And he said the onus is on price pressures to force a rate move.

* Australian labour data – The unemployment rate is seen holding steady at 5.0%.
