The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, stated that the UK governments proposals to Anthropic range from expanding its London office to a dual listing. Neither Anthropic nor the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology immediately responded to Reuters requests for comment. Prime Minister Starmers office has been supporting the Department for Science, Innovation and Technologys efforts, and the UK will present these proposals to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei during his visit to the UK at the end of May. The US government previously blacklisted Anthropic, deeming it a national security supply chain risk because Anthropic refused to allow the military to use its AI chatbot Claude in US surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. A US judge has temporarily blocked the blacklist, and the AI startup has filed a second lawsuit related to this supply chain risk assessment, which is still pending.The local governor said an oil pipeline in Primorsk, a Baltic port in Russia, was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack.On April 5th, Planet Labs, a San Francisco-based remote sensing satellite data company, announced on April 4th that it would indefinitely suspend the release of satellite imagery of Iran and conflict zones in the Middle East, at the request of the U.S. government. Planet Labs announced the decision in an email to its clients, stating that the U.S. government had instructed all satellite imagery providers to indefinitely cease providing imagery of the conflict areas.

According to German sources on April 4th, Waldfol proposed abolishing the principle of unanimous consent in foreign and security policy formulation before the next European Parliament elections, so that the EU can "better act internationally and truly grow." Regarding the reasons for this suggestion, Waldfol said, "All our experiences in recent weeks regarding aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia show that this should be done." Since the escalation of the Ukraine crisis on February 24, 2022, Hungary has frequently disagreed with most EU countries on its policies towards Russia and Ukraine, opposing sanctions against Russia, Ukraines accession to the EU, and the provision of military aid to Ukraine. On March 19th of this year, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blocked a €90 billion aid loan from the EU to Ukraine at the EU summit.

The EUR/JPY pair is clinging to the nearby 142.60 barrier during the Tokyo session. The asset, which is up for auction between 142.25 and 142.60, is poised for an upward breakout as the risk-off drive begins to wane. The European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde's hawkish remark has energized the shared currency's bulls, pushing the cross closer to the significant hurdle of 143.00.

 

The Governing Council is debating Quantitative Tightening (QE), according to an ECB policymaker, who also underlined that the interest rate is the best tool for the current economic environment. It is likely that restrictive policy measures will remain as long as prices in the trading bloc keep rising and show no signs of slowing.

The current value of the yen, according to Japanese authorities, does not accurately reflect economic realities. The USD/JPY pair has significantly beyond the area where the BOJ intervened last month.

 

Hirokazu Matsuno, chief cabinet secretary of Japan, said: "We are actively watching FX movements with a high sense of urgency and will take appropriate measures on excessive FX swings." Despite declining to comment on daily variations in the FX sector. The declaration was made following the USD/JPY pair's multi-year peak at roughly 146.40.
