* A report in the WSJ over the weekend that the US and China closing in on a deal, and that Trump and Xi are to meet on March 27, pushed equities up although nothing is confirmed by Beijing or Washington.

MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 7th March 2019.

FX News Today

* The Yen and the Swissy edged up as investors sought shelter in safe-haven currencies, and stock markets headed south during the Asian session amid fresh concerns about the global growth outlook, increased US-North Korea tensions, and as traders await more details on a possible US-Sino trade deal.

* The BoC added its name to the growing list of central banks that are taking a pause to assess current risks, maintaining rates at 1.75% and watering down its rate normalization.

* Yesterday’s data showed the US trade deficit widening to a 10-year high, which will only increase the risk of further protectionist measures at a time when global trade tensions increasingly weigh on growth prospects.

* The OECD cut forecasts for the global economy in 2019 and 2020, again yesterday, delivering a bleak assessment of the global economy. However, the prospect of further stimulus measures is keeping bond markets underpinned and the fallout in the stock market appears to be limited. Still, all Asian markets are trading in the red, with the only exception being the ASX which rose by 0.29%.

* US futures are heading south, however, while the front end WTI future is trading at USD 56.26 per barrel.
