ECB Governing Council member Knot: The central banks monetary policy meeting (decision) in June will be very complicated. Medium-term inflation risks actually include both upside risks and downside risks.On April 28, sources said that the ECB decision-makers are increasingly confident that they will cut interest rates in June in response to the continued decline in inflation, but they will not make a large cut. Last week, several ECB members attended the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank and talked about the possibility that the eurozone and global economy may deteriorate due to US tariffs. At the same time, the latest economic data released by the eurozone also reflects this phenomenon. As for inflation, there is no sign of deterioration due to tariffs. Sources said that more ECB members believe that it is a more appropriate decision to make the eighth consecutive interest rate cut of 0.25% at the interest rate meeting on June 4. The ECB will also release its latest economic forecasts on the same day. However, ECB officials remain open-minded and will make a final decision based on the data released next month.Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Russia has not received any proposal from the United States to assist in the operation of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Russia will continue to strike targets used by the Ukrainian military as well as foreign fighters and military instructors sent by Europe.According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, a passenger plane from Moscow to Nalichik, the capital of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, returned to the airport due to a malfunction of the cabin pressurization equipment after takeoff on April 27.

The USD/JPY is trading at 135.51, up 0.25 percent, as Tokyo's stock market starts. In a risk-off climate, bears lurk, and lower US rates encourage yen demand..

 

The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury decreased by 6 basis points in the early Asian trading session, although it is now attempting to stabilize at 2.818%. With the exception of the US dollar, the Japanese yen outperformed the rest of the major currencies overnight, with the USD/JPY rate rising only 20 basis points to 135.85. For the first time in over three weeks, the US 10-year and two-year yields have crossed. This was one of numerous instances this year. According to some economists, an inversion of the yield curve is a sign of an imminent economic crisis. The margin between the two-year and five-year interest rates was likewise negative on Tuesday.

 

Tuesday was a day of risk aversion, with the dollar rising to its highest level in two years and putting pressure on global markets and commodities. There is a high danger of future economic shocks being amplified by volatility in the cost of energy and raw materials, according to the Bank of England, which made the statement at the beginning Asian trade.

 

As a result of the ongoing COVID testing in Shanghai, analysts have expressed concern about the possibility of more lockdowns in China, which might have a ripple effect on other markets.

 

US stock markets reversed course on Tuesday, after a three-day holiday weekend and big gains on Friday, as investors await economic data expected later this week in Nonfarm Payrolls and ahead of today' monetary policy minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee. The Nikkei began the day with a gap, which suggests that the yen will climb.

 

US Nonfarm Payrolls data is likely to show that employment grew robustly in June, albeit at a slower rate than the nearly 400k jobs gained in March through May.

 

There will also be an examination of the Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes. Due to rising CPI inflation and signs of inflation expectations de-anchoring, the Federal Reserve accelerated the pace of rate-tightening. According to analysts at TD Securities, the Fed's more aggressive reaction function is expected to be revealed in the meeting minutes.
