Pound

The pound was hit by the Bank of England. The quarterly inflation report dispelled all our doubts about the early monetary policy tightening. The UK annual inflation forecast in 2014 and 2015 was lowered, so it was noted that the main eurozone trading partner has stagnation. The negative US and UK spread yields have again increased that confirms the steady downtrend.

The US and Japan differential 10 year bond yields has shown reduction for the last days that with the technical correction in the world's leading stock markets acts as the bulls’ deterrent.
