ECB In Focus
Financial markets have been on a rollercoaster ride last week as investors wondered whether the equity and bond sell-off would come to an end. However, it seems that investors remained reluctant to reload on risk last week. The first half of the week started in the possible way as equites across the globe recovered slowly. In the bond market, US treasury yields have had a choppy end of the week as the Federal Reserves published the minutes of its September meeting. Unfortunately, the minutes wer…

EUR/USD sells off after ECB decision
It seems as if the dollar move higher after more hawkish than expected Fed came with one day lag. ECB may have done more steps in the hawkish direction than expected by many yesterday, but their pledge to hold rates at present level at least until summer 2019 contrasts starkly with Fed's projected one hike per quarter. EUR/USD is down 300 pips from yesterday's high.
EUR/USD well behaved ahead of the big events
There's no doubt that the Fed will hike its funds rate later today. The accompanying FOMC statement and economic projections will be of much more interest. The comittee took a step toward a more neutral bias at their most recent meeting. Should they continue in that direction, the dollar is bound to get sold. EUR/USD is trading in an ever tighter short-term range but any breakout will probably be limited, with ECB decision coming up tomorrow.
Will the dollar gap lower?
U.S. government failed to pass funding bill and went into shutdown. This will probably last a couple of weeks, the question is what it means for the U.S. dollar. A small gap lower is possible, but with ECB and BOJ meetings next week, a correction rather than continuation of the dollar weakness may be in the cards.
ECB to halve size of stimulus scheme but euro slips
The European Central Bank (ECB) kept interest rates unchanged, but announced that it will reduce its monthly quantitative easing (QE) measures from €60bn to €30bn starting in January 2018.
The measures are scheduled to continue for nine months through to September of next year. The ECB confirmed that it would be willing to increase these stimulus measures if inflation remains more sluggish than anticipated.
In the accompanying press conference, ECB President Draghi struck a slightly cautious ton…

U.S. dollar strong but yen outperforms
Cautious tones from ECB and BOC, weak Australian inflation one side and progress in U.S. politics and much better than expected Advance GDP reading on the other one were among the drivers of major currency pairs this week. BOE is expected to hike next week but it will be a one-off for now.
The U.S. dollar was mostly bought up until around the time Europe started heading for the pub. Rumor of Trump leaning toward Powell as the next Fed chair sparked a bout of profit-taking. The dollar ended the w…
