β‘οΈπ¬π§β’οΈπ£It's a big week for UK data, with February jobs figures on Tuesday and March inflation numbers Wednesday.
Bank of England policymakers, who expect inflation to ease, may have their fingers crossed for good news. Inflation unexpectedly rose to 10.4% in February, pushed up by higher food and drink prices in pubs and restaurants, data that likely cemented the case for March's rate hike.
Markets anticipate at least one more rate increase. Sticky inflation remains the obstacle to just where rates will peak, with food inflation running at 18%, a level last seen in 1977.

β‘οΈπΊπΈβ’οΈπ£U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said banks are likely to become more cautious and may tighten lending further in the wake of recent bank failures, possibly negating the need for further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.
"Banks are likely to become somewhat more cautious in this environment," Yellen said in the interview, which is scheduled to air on Sunday. "We already saw some tightening of lending standards in the banking system prior to that episode, and there may be some more to come."
She said that would lead to a restriction in credit in the economy that "could be a substitute for further interest rate hikes that the Fed needs to make."
So, funding availability will become shorter from small and mid size business very soon...π₯π€

β‘οΈπͺπΊβ’οΈπ£European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said she doesnβt foresee the US defaulting on its debt, saying such an outcome would have dire consequences around the world.
βI have huge confidence in the United States,β Lagarde said in an interview for CBSβs βFace the Nationβ on Sunday. βI just cannot believe that they would let such a major β major β disaster happen.β
βIf it did happen, it would have very, very negative impact not just for this country, where confidence would be challenged, but around the world,β Lagarde added. βI understand the politics, Iβve been in politics myself. But there is a time when the higher interest of the nation has to prevail.β
π₯Everything about this news is surprising: both the fact that the head of the ECB has to say this publicly, and the tone itself. This is no longer an "iron hand in a kid glove", but almost a panic attack.
Translated into normal language, it sounds something like this: what the hell is going on with you? Are you out of your mind?!
Apparently, the United States either does not think to negotiate at all, or deliberately takes time to collapse all other markets. Because the default of the United States (even technical, arbitrarily frivolous) automatically means the collapse of the global financial market in its former form.π€
