Johnny Cueto signs minor league deal with Texas. He was an All-Star for Rangers manager Bruce Bochy
Two-time All-Star pitcher Johnny Cueto agreed to a minor league contract on Tuesday with the Texas Rangers, the organization where he has a connection to the big league team's manager and general manager. The 38-year-old Cueto was 1-4 with a 6.02 ERA in 13 games (10 starts) for Miami Marlins last season, when the right-hander was on the injured list more than three months with a biceps injury. Cueto's latter All-Star season was 2016, when he was 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 32 starts for the San Francisco Giants with manager Bruce Bochy, who is now in his second season in Texas.

Timing of first BoE rate cut splits economists between June and Q3 - Reuters poll
The Bank of England will wait until next quarter to lower borrowing costs, according to median forecasts in a Reuters poll, although almost half of those surveyed said the central bank would cut interest rates in June. In either case, the BoE would be moving around the same time as peers the European Central Bank (ECB) - widely expected to move in June - and the U.S. Federal Reserve which is predicted to trim rates in September. Top BoE officials - Governor Andrew Bailey and Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden - have recently said British inflation was falling in line with the central bank's predictions and the risk of it getting stuck too high had receded, setting the stage for a rate cut.

Tesla's shift on low-cost cars throws Mexico, India factory plans into limbo
Tesla said on Tuesday that it will use its existing factories to build new and more affordable vehicles as early as late this year, leaving investments in new factories in Mexico and India unlikely in the near term. The world's top EV maker said it plans to raise production by 50% from 2023 to its current capacity of close to 3 million vehicles before investing in new manufacturing lines. "This update may result in achieving less cost reduction than previously expected but enables us to prudently grow our vehicle volumes in a more capex efficient manner during uncertain times," the company said.

Dollar shaky after euro rebound; yen mired at 34-year low
However the yen remained mired near a 34-year low versus the U.S. currency, even as Japanese officials stepped up intervention warnings. The dollar index - which measures the currency against six major peers including the euro, sterling and yen - was flat at 105.64 in early Asian trading after slumping 0.4% overnight and touching the lowest level since April 12 at 105.23. The euro was little changed at $1.069975 following Tuesday's 0.45% rally, after data showed business activity in the euro zone expanded at its fastest pace in nearly a year, primarily due to a recovery in services.
