• Monetary policy measures always have side effects

• We do see that real estate dynamics or high household debt levels in some countries signal the risk of increasing imbalances

• We do not currently see compelling evidence of overstretched asset valuations at the euro area level

• Maintaining the current very substantial degree of monetary accommodation is still needed

• We are monitoring these various effects carefully

Investors have perhaps been persuaded that recent domestic data trends, especially on the trade and employment fronts, spelled better times ahead for the Canadian economy. We think it is important to keep expectations in check, however. Recent job trends have been heavily skewed by exceptionally strong job growth in December and January, which may unwind somewhat in the months ahead.

Trade data has improved, with the late 2016 headline numbers reporting trade surpluses for the first time since 2014, but underlying export volume growth remains weak (-1.1% in the December year). Firmer crude oil prices, reflecting OPEC's production discipline, have helped support the CAD. But scope for additional crude oil gains appears limited for now, we think, and broader trends in commodity prices are tracking a somewhat weaker in the short run at least, with the TR-CRB index easing to its lowest levels since November.

"The policy gap is already at levels that we consider very USD-supportive. We continue to expect USDCAD will reach the 1.40 level through the middle of the year before USD gains moderate again," Scotiabank commented in its latest research report.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year gilts, slumped 1-1/2 basis points to 1.18 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields plunged 2-1/2 basis points to 1.82 percent.

• Skingsley says decision to not support further bond purchases should not be perceived as excluding the need for stimulation at a later stage

• Jansson wondered whether, with a lower inflation outcome than expected and a proposed forecast entailing poorer inflation prospects in coming years, it was enough to ease monetary policy merely by extending the government bond purc

• Ingves says a rapid krona appreciation that threatens rising inflation must not take place

• Jansson says activity abroad continued to strengthen, but said that there is considerable uncertainty over economic and political developments

• Jochnick says the effects on growth and inflation will probably be limited regardless of the outcomes of forthcoming elections and political decisions

In March 2017 the seasonally adjusted industrial production index increased by 0.4% compared with the previous month. The percentage change of the average of the last three months with respect to the previous three months was -0.3.

• Would not expect korean exports to China to drop sharply, even if thaad remains in place

• Korea's general government debt of 38.7% of gdp is slightly below 'aa' median of 39.7%

• Fiscal policy might become more expansionary under new government, given Moon's pledge to use stimulus to create jobs

• Moon likely to adopt more conciliatory stance towards N. Korea but S. Korea's influence over security situation appears to have weakened in recent months

• Political crisis that ended with impeachment and arrest on corruption charges of previous president did not affect sovereign rating

• Fiscal, monetary policies must work together, each play its own role to revive economy

• Unnecessary, inappropriate to think monetary policy should directly bankroll govt debt

• Shifting to protectionism from free trade won't help reduce poverty

• Wage growth remains slow despite improvements in corporate profits and tightening labour market, but we are seeing some positive signs

China's inflation accelerated to a 3-month high in April, while factory gate inflation eased on weakening commodity prices, data published by the National Bureau of Statistics cited by rttnews.

Inflation rose to 1.2 percent in April from 0.9 percent in March. Economists had forecast inflation to rise moderately to 1.1 percent.

Inflation was well below the government's target of around 3 percent for the whole year of 2017.

Non-food inflation rose to 2.4 percent from 2.3 percent. At the same time, food prices declined 3.5 percent, but slower than the 4.4 percent fall seen in March.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.1 percent, in contrast to a 0.3 percent fall in March. This was the first rise in three months.
