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. Last month, Planet Labs had already extended the imagery release delay from four days to 14 days; this new restriction is a further escalation of measures aimed at preventing adversaries from using the imagery to attack the United States and its allies.On April 5th, German Foreign Minister Waldfol called on the EU to abolish the principle that decisions require unanimous consent from all member states in order for the EU to "truly grow." 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.

Below 0.6350, AUD/USD draws bids; the downside is preferred before US CPI

The AUD/USD pair has risen after dropping below immediate support near 0.6350 during the Asian session. Given that the market attitude is still unfavorable, the asset's outlook does not appear positive. The S&P 500 fell into a trance as a result of Friday's positive US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) numbers, which extended the US dollar index's (DXY) recovery.

 

At 112.88, the DXY in Tokyo has eclipsed the previous week's high and is expected to continue to rise as hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) policy bets soar. The US NFP came in at 263k on Friday, more than the 250k forecast. Due to this, there is now a higher chance that interest rates will rise for a fourth consecutive time by 75 basis points (bps). A healthy labor market and stronger economic fundamentals are always required for the central bank to safely announce rate increases.

 

Rates have increased as the likelihood of a 75 basis point rate increase has increased. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury bond reached 3.9% and increased for four straight days.

 

Investors' attention will then turn to the publication of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Thursday. Preliminary predictions indicate that headline inflation will drop from 8.5% to 8.1%. The core CPI, which does not include prices for food and energy, will rise from 6.3% to 6.5%. The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates seems to be having little impact, but the drop in gas prices has started to have an impact on the headline inflation rate.

 

The consumer inflation expectations statistics are expected to be released later this week, according to the Australian bulls. The economic statistics are projected to increase to 5.8% from the previous report's 5.4%. This could encourage the Reserve Bank of Australia to act (RBA). The Official Cash Rate (OCR) was raised by 25 basis points to 2.6% by Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Philip Lowe, and he plans to continue raising it until it reaches the desired level of 3.0%.
