With no sign of an easing of the conflict in Eastern Europe, risk sentiment has risen sharply in the last 24 hours, with bond yields way down, oil peaking higher, the US dollar gaining strength and huge volatility on equity markets. Oil prices are rising even without export bans because trade houses are reluctant to touch Russian cargo. Today we look at how the uncertainty will translate to central banks. NAB’s Ivan Colhoun says the RBA continues to be patient, given that inflation is not as strong as elsewhere. Like all other central banks they will be factoring in the uncertainty from the war. The Bank of Canada might moderate their plans tonight on that basis, and Jerome Powell will be asked for his approach when he fronts up to the House Committee in the US later today.
