Strong US CPI, new missile launch has limited impact on the markets * CBR to cut rates today * Sterling is off and away * North Korean spillover to rates seems limited

Morning MarketsTF
Asia-Pacific equity markets were largely unruffled on Friday by North Korea's second missile launch over Japan in less than three weeks. Meanwhile the British pound extended gains in year-high territory after the Bank of England sounded a hawkish note on Thursday. Higher-than-expected US CPI weighed on Wall Street stocks on Thursday.

From the FloorTF
The Bank of England's surprisingly hawkish signals on Thursday sent sterling higher. The rally was only aided by governor Mark Carney's comments that he is preparing for a rate hike, and Saxo bank head of FX strategy John J Hardy says that resistance at 1.35 looks soft.

FX UpdateTF
The market was caught the wrong way around on sterling when the Bank of England stepped up its rate hike credibility, and the sterling rally may have considerable room to run. Elsewhere, a reasonably strong US CPI failed to drive much USD strength – a warning for bulls.
