Trump eyes military option for Greenland
According to the White House, President Donald Trump has not ruled out military action to acquire Greenland, which he considers a national security priority. Trump and his team are reportedly exploring various options to pursue the acquisition. European leaders have jointly warned that Greenland’s and Denmark’s territorial integrity must be respected and emphasized that Arctic security should be addressed collectively with NATO allies.
Supreme Court may rule on Trump’s tariffs Friday
US Supreme Court sets Friday as possible ruling day for Trump’s global tariffs, a key test of his trade policies, including April 2 “Liberation Day” levies on imports and duties on Canada, Mexico, and China.
German inflation slows sharply; French inflation hits seven-month low
German inflation eased more than expected in December, with consumer prices up 2%, below the 2.2% forecast. In France, inflation rose 0.7% year-on-year, matching expectations, as energy costs fell sharply while services inflation held steady at 2.2%. The figures follow similar easing in Spain, and eurozone-wide inflation data are due today, with economists projecting a 2% reading.
China imposes military-linked export controls on Japan
China imposed immediate controls on dual-use exports to Japan, citing potential military applications, escalating tensions after Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan. The measures ban exports of items that could enhance Japan’s military capabilities, including aerospace components, graphite products, and certain alloys, marking the latest pressure step amid the ongoing diplomatic dispute.
Dollar rebounds on higher Treasury yields
The 10-year government bond yield (interpolated) on the previous trading day was 1.724, +3.68 bps. The benchmark government bond yield (LB353A) was 1.664, +3.87 bps. Meantime, the latest closed US 10-year bond yields was 4.18, +1.0 bps. USDTHB on the previous trading day closed around 31.20, moving in a range of 31.20 – 31.235 this morning. USDTHB could be closed between 31.18 – 31.38 today. The dollar recovered initial losses on the back of higher US Treasury yields, despite a softer revision to the US Services PMI and limited FX news, while Fed commentary remained broadly unsurprising. The euro weakened after softer German inflation and disappointing EU PMI data, with attention turning to upcoming EU inflation releases. The British pound slipped toward 1.3500 against the stronger dollar despite an upside surprise in UK Services PMI and reports of possible government support for hospitality. The Japanese yen softened as rising US yields lifted USD/JPY, alongside reports of new Chinese export controls on Japan and potential tightening of rare earth exports.
