The lack of new themes makes markets look boring and that lifts up the usual beta plays of selling volatility and chasing yield. The Xi/Trump meetings maybe set for Feb 27-28 in Da Nang according to the South China Morning Post. This coupled with the Lunar Holidays in much of Asia and a slightly better China Services PMI left markets waiting for Europe. The recognition of Guaido as Venezuelan President by nine EU nations along with the US puts oil higher with Brent at $64 and some of those disinflation fears easing accordingly. This hasn’t helped INR or some equities in Europe. As the all-clear for risk sirens blare today ECB Nowotny boldly suggest there is no recession risk even as all the present indicators suggest the 1Q soft patch is w
orse than 4Q. The Sentix investor sentiment for Europe drops to -3.7 from -1.5 – its sixth month of weakness and the worst since November 2014. The point being that the lack of interest in safe-haven’s today doesn’t mean markets are safer, only less fearful. This puts the USD/JPY as the bellwether to watch with an eye to gold and CHF as well.
