According to Starboard Maritime News, at least 26 vessels have changed their registration to Russia since the beginning of last month, most of which occurred after the US seizure of the supertanker Skipper off the Venezuelan coast on December 10th. This represents a significant increase compared to the six vessels seized in November and the 14 vessels seized in the previous five months. Of the nearly 1,500 tankers carrying oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, approximately 13% are now registered in Russia, with the remainder typically flying the flags of smaller nations such as Panama, Guinea, and Comoros. Using false flags is also a common tactic for ghost fleets, allowing them to circumvent regulations while maintaining a semblance of legitimacy. Charlie Brown, a senior advisor at the Coalition Against Irans Nuclear Weapons, which tracks ghost fleets, points out that the recent trend of changing registration to Russia indicates that ship owners are considering Moscows potential political asylum when other countries are unwilling to provide protection.Bank of Japan: The February 26 meeting on market operations will discuss recent market developments, Bank of Japan operations, liquidity and functionality of the Japanese government bond market, and the money market.On January 14th, the highest 7-day annualized yield of Tencent Wealth Managements "Current Account +" was 1.4510%, and the lowest was 0.8860%.

In the Asian session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting a sideways auction below $1,820.00. The precious metal is anticipated to recover as investors transfer their attention to the United States ISM Manufacturing PMI (Feb), which is scheduled for release on Wednesday.

 

Investors should be aware that the US Manufacturing PMI has contracted for three consecutive months. The term "ecosystem" refers to a group of people who work in the construction industry. The US Manufacturing PMI is anticipated to be 48.0, down from the previous release of 47.4.

 

S&P500 futures have added to Monday's recovery in the Asian session, reflecting an improvement in market participants' risk appetite. The volatility of the US Dollar Index (DXY) is anticipated to decrease until the publication of the US ISM Manufacturing PMI data. The 10-year US Treasury yields fluctuate around 3.92 percent.

 

In the meantime, the resiliency observed in consumer expenditure (Feb) in the United States has compelled the street to increase their projections for future interest rates. Considering the resilience of demand-driven inflation, a note from Bank of America (BofA) suggests Fed chair Jerome Powell announce three additional rate increases this year. According to the BofA, the terminal rate will exceed 6%, and recession is more likely than a gentle landing.
