Here I can tell you clearly that after the transition period, the assistance policy will not be "brake", but it will be improved by classification, and a sound institutional mechanism for normalized assistance will be established. The Party Central Committee has clear general requirements and directions for continuing to assist low-income rural populations and underdeveloped areas. This time, the Central Document No. 1 proposed to coordinate the establishment of a mechanism to prevent rural re-poverty and a stratified and classified assistance system for low-income populations and underdeveloped areas. At present, we are organizing an overall assessment of the five-year transition period for consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting rural revitalization.

On Tuesday, the EUR / USD exchange rate hit a bottom of 1.0573, but that was not the only development. Early in the day, higher-than-expected French inflation figures drew investors to the Euro, driving short-term euro zone yields to their greatest levels in at least a decade. Then, at the start of the US trading session, the pair increased to 1.0645 as US data showed that, in contrast to several prior inflationary results, the Fed's rate rises were starting to have the intended impact.

 

According to ANZ Bank analysts, "Base effects from Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year should start to push annual inflation down from March, but the ECB will be mainly worried with consecutive monthly inflation rises." Inflation statistics for Germany and the euro zone will be released soon, giving the Governing Council meeting in March a more comprehensive inflation picture.

 

Unexpectedly, the US Consumer Sentiment dropped in February, dropping from 106 in January to 102.9, far below the anticipated 108.5. The US Dollar suffered as a result. In addition, the Chicago PMI business poll for February came in lower than expected, and the S&P CoreLogic Case Shiller national house price index rose only 5.8% year over year and dropped 0.5% in December.

 

Expectations regarding the Fed's interest rate policy will be heavily influenced by the US Nonfarm Payrolls employment statistics for February, which will be published on March 10, and the Consumer Price Index, which will be released on March 14. The ISM manufacturing PMI will likely continue to represent the sector's fragility in February (market expectation: 45.5), according to analysts at Westpac, and the final assessment of the S&P Global manufacturing PMI will probably support this as well. "Weaker demand is expected to keep construction spending down in January (market consensus: 0.2%);" Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, will also speak.
