Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - March 4, 2019

This morning, risk assets are rallying globally, with sentiment supported on a WSJ report that the US and China are close to finalizing a trade deal and a Bloomberg report that the US is tying a lifting of tariffs to promises from Beijing to better protect intellectual property rights and buy more US products. Against this backdrop, the Chinese yuan is up 0.3%, as is the ruble. That said, optimism about the prospects for a US-China trade deal has long been priced in and S&P 500 futures are hovering near a strong resistance level. So, we doubt that risk assets will continue rallying today without evidence of real progress in the negotiations - for example, scheduling of a Trump-Xi meeting.
