US Market View

Retail sales data for February will set the tone for the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting that starts later. Industrial production and housing market data are also due.US retail sales were up 6.3% y/y in February despite the bad weather and a 17.4% drop in food services & drinking places. The Federal Reserve starts a two-day policy meeting against the backdrop of a market that seems, for now, to have finished repricing its inflation expectations. The 10yr Treasury yields is steady at just over 1.60%.

A third wave of Covid-19 infections is building in Europe, with Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux countries all reporting rising infections. The situation isn’t being helped by Europe’s ongoing efforts to sabotage its own vaccination program. A German decision to stop distributing the AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine on Monday led to France and Italy following suit. The Italian medicines regulator called it a political decision while the European Medicines Agency, which is responsible for declaring medical products safe, repeated its opinion that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh any risks.

Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated the need for tighter regulation of the country’s Internet platform companies, stepping up a campaign that began late last year with the derailing of Ant Group’s IPO.

Crude oil prices continued to weaken ahead of U.S. inventory data later in the day from the American Petroleum Institute.

  • ECB's Lane: We are not at the lower bound in terms of rates.
  • Gold keeps steadier to start the week, but the Fed still holds the key for what comes next.

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen

Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
