The Kremlin have formally approved a further tweak to their nuclear doctrine, allowing for use of nuclear weaponry in the case of long-range missiles used to strike inside Russian territory.
  • Risk-off support moderated as the session wore on, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters that the US has "seen no reason" to adjust its nuclear posture following Russian President Vladimir Putin's move to revise Russia's nuclear doctrine.

Schmid repeated "While now is the time to begin dialing back the restrictiveness of monetary policy, it remains to be seen how much further interest rates will decline or where they might eventually settle."
