SYDNEY (Reuters) – Asian shares advanced and oil slipped on Monday on hopes for progress in Russian-Ukraine peace talks even as fighting raged on, while bond markets braced for rate rises in the United States and UK this week.

While Russian missiles hit a large Ukrainian base near the border with Poland on Sunday, both sides gave their most upbeat assessment yet of prospects for talks.

Just the chance of peace saw stock futures add 0.7%, while Nasdaq futures rose 0.6%.

rose 1.1%, while MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan inched up 0.1% after sliding almost 4% last week.

Bonds remained under pressure having taken a beating last week as surging commodity prices looked set to boost inflation yet further, with yields on 10-year Treasuries rising three basis points early Monday to 2.03%.

Notably, a key measure of U.S. inflation expectations climbed to 3% and near record highs.

That merely cemented expectations the Federal Reserve would lift rates by 25 basis points at its policy meeting this week and signal more to come through members’ “dot plot” forecasts.

“The dots will likely be mainly clustered around four or five hikes for 2022, up from three previously, given the stronger pace of inflation since the January FOMC meeting,” said Kevin Cummins (NYSE:), chief U.S. economist at NatWest Markets.

“We suspect we could also get an addendum on how the Fed plans to reduce the size of the balance sheet as early as this week.”

The Bank of England is expected to lift its rates to 0.75% on Thursday, the third rise in a row, and to signal more with the market pricing an aggressive 2% by year end.

Fed fund futures imply no less than six or seven hikes this year to around 1.75%, keeping the U.S. dollar underpinned near the highest since May 2020.

The euro was holding at $1.0927, and not far from its recent 22-month trough of $1.0804, while the dollar hit a fresh five-year peak on the yen at 117.55.

“The yen has been unable to display its typical safe-haven attributes, partly because of the big rise in U.S. yields and the BoJ yield curve control policy that prevents JGBs following the move up in core global yields,” said Rodrigo Catril, a senior FX strategist at NAB.

“Japan is also a big energy imported adding to concerns over a terms of trade shock from higher energy prices.”

Gold lost some of its safe-haven charm on Monday, easing 0.6% to $1,972 an ounce and away for last week’s peak at $2,069. [GOL/]

Likewise, the chance of progress on Ukraine saw oil prices surrender a little of their recent gains, even as talks with producer Iran seemed to be stalled. [O/R]
