Sterling rises versus euro and dollar, eyes BoE policy path
Sterling rose versus the dollar and the euro as investors assessed the Bank of England's monetary policy path after recent mixed signals from policymakers. The pound dropped late last week and on Monday versus the greenback as Governor Andrew Bailey said that inflation was broadly declining in line with BoE forecasts, which would indicate that interest rates might fall more quickly than the market currently expects. "With sterling undershooting the move in UK rates and more balanced commentary this week, our bias would be to fade the recent dovishness and for the pound to retrace some of its losses," said Kamal Sharma, forex strategist at BofA.

US proposal for frozen Russian asset revenues gaining ground, G7 officials say
A U.S. proposal for using future interest on some $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, instead of seizing them outright, is gaining momentum among the Group of Seven nations, two G7 officials said. Collateralizing the interest earned on the frozen Russian assets, which would amount to some $5 billion a year, is emerging as one of the favored options to bridge differences between the U.S. and Europe ahead of a G7 leaders summit in Italy in June. But G7 members are still arguing about certain "holdbacks" that would whittle down those expected windfall profits to just $2.5-$3.0 billion, one of the officials said, pointing to Belgium's 25% tax rate, a "convenience fee" applied by depository Euroclear, and a proposed litigation reserve.
