Synopsis:
Asian markets set for negative start to Tuesday trade. Futures signaling cautious open in Japan and Hong Kong, and initial declines in Australia. S&P 500 futures edging higher afterhours. Australian bonds weakening after Treasury yield curve bear steepened Monday. Crude steady after extending recent rally. Gold little changed while silver coming off earlier lows. FX markets steady with dollar steady on major crosses. Bitcoin drifting up following overnight retreat.
BOJ expected to leave interest rates unchanged at Tuesday's meeting. Press sources noted possibility of BOJ revising up FY26 inflation forecasts and downgrading growth expectations. Heightened uncertainties stemming from Middle East conflict and cautious remarks from Governor Ueda have led markets to all-but rule out an April rate hike. Focus will be on Governor Ueda's messaging with upside inflation risks and yen depreciation pressures supporting expectations of a June rate hike.
Nothing particularly incremental from latest US-Iran headlines. Lot of discussion about report of Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz in return for end to US blockade and punting nuclear issue to future negotiations. Media sources said President Trump skeptical about Iran's latest offer and signaled his view regime not acting in good faith about nuclear issue. Market still looking through the back-and-forth, with ceasefire holding up and two sides continuing backchannel talks despite public posturing..
