GBP\/JPY<\/strong><\/a> remains sidelined around 154.70 during Thursday\u2019s Asian session, mildly offered after bouncing off a 10-week low the previous day. The cross-currency pair\u2019s latest weakness could be linked to the market\u2019s anxiety ahead of key data\/events, as well as a lack of major catalysts. Cautious optimism from an anticipated round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine battles increasing hopes of a faster rate-hike trajectory by the Fed to test the market sentiment of late.<\/p>\nA Russian negotiator was quoted to share the news of a probable round of diplomatic talks on Thursday. On the same line, Interfax also mentioned, \u201cA potential ceasefire will be discussed in upcoming talks with the Ukrainian delegation.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting that a jump in the probabilities of a 0.50% rate hike in the March Fed meeting, per CME\u2019s Fed Watch Tool, also challenges the market\u2019s optimism. On the same line were the US inflation expectations that rose to a 15-week high, as measured by the 10-year breakeven inflation rate per the St. Louis Federal Reserve (FRED) data.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, global rating agencies like Moody\u2019s and Fitch cut Russia\u2019s ratings and contribute to the offbeat sentiment. At home, the Daily Express quotes data showing a jump in the EU nationals in the UK to shrug off Brexit criticism. Further, UK PM Boris Johnson spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and said, he will publish \u2018full list of all those associated with the Putin regime\u2019 per The Guardian. Additionally, Bank of England (BOE) policymakers, including Silvana Tenreyro and Jon Cunliffe, cited economic risks emanating from Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
On the same line, Bank of Japan (BOJ) monetary policy board member Junko Nagaya said in a statement on Thursday, \u201cJapan’s economic outlook remains highly uncertain from January onward.\u201d Amid these plays, S&P 500 Futures print mild losses whereas the US 10-year Treasury yields also drop 1.2 basis points (bps) to 1.85% by the press time.<\/p>\n
Moving on, the UK\u2019s final reading of Services PMI for February, expected to confirm 60.8 figure, will decorate the calendar. However, major attention should be given to geopolitical headlines for clear directions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
