Markets:
GBP leads, NZD lags on the dayEuropean equities slightly higher; S&P 500 futures down 0.1%US 10-year yields down 0.8 bps to 4.481%Gold up 0.4% to $3,335.77WTI crude down 0.9% to $65.89Bitcoin up 2.0% to $118,869USD/JPY is also little changed, keeping at 148.70 levels and even on a hotter UK CPI report, the pound isn't doing much with GBP/USD just hovering under 1.3400.
Still, with the UK labour market report coming up tomorrow, policymakers could do with a softer data on jobs to argue for a rate cut in August. However, make no mistake that stagflation worries are building.
In the equities space, European stocks opened lower but recovered some poise as US futures also pared early losses to be little changed now. The US PPI data will be up next today before we get to retail sales and the weekly jobless claims tomorrow to add to the mix. After the sluggish showing in Wall Street yesterday, it will be interesting to see how things fare with earnings season also in focus.
Elsewhere, gold is up slightly but that doesn't take away from the drop in the past two days while Bitcoin is consolidating at the highs and not really pushing for the next upside leg just yet on the week.
