Financial markets started the new week on a cautious note despite the weekend's encouraging headlines regarding the global liquidity issues. Eurostat will release January Trade Balance data later in the session and Germany's Bundesbank will publish its monthly report. European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde will testify before the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) of the European Parliament in Brussels at 14 GMT.
Late Sunday, Swiss authorities persuaded UBS Group AG to buy Credit Suisse Group AG in the next step to try and stop the spread of the banking crisis. UBS will reportedly pay 3 $3.23 billion for Credit Suisse and assume up to $5.4 billion in losses in a deal that is expected to close by the end of 2023.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced that it will offer daily swaps to the Bank of Canada (BoC), the Bank of Japan (BoJ), the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the European Central Bank (ECB) to ensure they have enough liquidity to continue operations. "The network of swap lines among these central banks is a set of available standing facilities and serve as an important liquidity backstop to ease strains in global funding markets," the Fed said in a statement published on Sunday.
Despite these developments, US stock index futures were last seen losing between 0.7% and 1% on the day. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is down more than 3% on the day at 3.3% and the US Dollar Index trades modestly lower on the day below 104.00.
