Information disclosed by the exchanges shows that late last year, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange of India (NCDEX) and the Metropolitan Stock Exchange (MSE) applied to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for approval to launch and develop spot and derivatives products for stocks. NCDEX primarily trades agricultural commodities, while MSE mainly offers currency derivatives, with very limited equity trading volume. Both exchanges have been seeking business diversification. SEBIs decision reflects its continued caution regarding Indias rapidly growing equity derivatives market – currently, the derivatives market is approximately twice the size of the spot market, while in major global markets, this proportion is only 2% to 3%.February 10th - Recent market rumors suggest that global agricultural technology giant Syngenta Group has officially begun preparations for a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges main board, with a fundraising target of up to US$10 billion, potentially becoming the largest IPO in Hong Kong in 2026.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
