Dealers with state-owned banks expect yields of short tenure bonds to remain range bound in coming days

Russia And China Aren''t The Natural Allies Many Assume Them To Be Authored by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute, In the wake of mounting tensions between the US and Russia over Ukraine, one now finds countless media stories on the " China-Russia axis " and the " bond between Russia and China ." The ideological benefit of connecting Russia to China is undoubtedly clear to anti-Russia hawks. Russia is a relatively weak state with a small economy. China, on the other hand, tends to look more formidable. By connecting Russia to China in a new version of George W. Bush''s "axis of evil" it becomes easier to downplay calmer voices noting the many limitations Russia faces in terms of its geopolitical ambitions. But just how secure is this supposed Sino-Russian friendship? While the two states may broadly agree on the need to limit US hegemonic power, the two are likely to also find many reasons to view each other as more immediate sources of conflict. In his book Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the World''s Sole Superpower , China scholar Michael Beckley notes there are many issues mitigating China-Russia "unity": Russia and China currently maintain a strategic partnership, but this relationship is unlikely to become a genuine alliance. …

European and US bank shares on Friday, February 25, clawed back some of the previous day’s steep losses as the sector started to get to grips with a slew of sanctions unveiled this week in retaliation for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine . Shares got off to a jittery start as missiles pounded the Ukrainian capital and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pleaded with the international community to do more, saying sanctions announced so far were not enough. Investors have been on high alert for sanctions against Russia over fears of rippling complexity and compliance risks for global banks. But many US and European industry executives say they had already reduced their exposure to Russia. After early losses, leading European banks later edged up, with a European banking sector index higher by mid-afternoon, having fallen 8% on Thursday, February 24. Shares of major US banks also closed up, with JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley adding between 2% and 3.26%.

PARIS, France – The European Central Bank (ECB)’s chief economist Philip Lane has told fellow policymakers that the Ukraine conflict may reduce the eurozone’s economic output by 0.3% to 0.4% this year, four people close to the matter told Reuters. This was the “middle scenario” presented by Lane at a Governing Council meeting in Paris on Thursday, February 24, hours after Russia invaded Ukraine and as the ECB is grappling with how the crisis may affect its plans to withdraw monetary stimulus measures. Lane also presented a severe scenario where gross domestic product (GDP) is reduced by close to 1% and a mild scenario where events in Ukraine had no impact on the 19-country currency bloc, which the sources said was now considered unlikely. One source described the estimates as “back-of-the-envelope” calculations, another said they were “very preliminary,” and a third said they were mostly derived from commodities prices. All sources said Lane would bring more refined forecasts to the ECB’s March 10 policy meeting, at which it is expected to decide the future of its long-established Asset Purchase Program (APP).
