UBS's first-quarter net profit rose more than expected by 17% on good trading numbers.
Overall markets still seem nervous and uncertain but off the lows for now.

USDJPY falls below the 128 to 127.90. Bitcoin can break above the 40k again.
The Yuan strengthened by app 300 pips after the central bank stepped in to slow the currency's sharp falls, the USD is at levels we have not seen since the initial Corona Rout in early 2020.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated yesterday told the world not to underestimate the considerable risks of nuclear escalation over Ukraine. "NATO, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia through a proxy and is arming that proxy. War means war."
Key risks to the markets remain Central Bank Policy, the Ukraine war and further sanctions as well as the lockdowns in China and supply chain issues resulting from it.
