    There are still problems in Greece, Germany is about to tip into recession and the whole EU is not exactly flying. I would be interested in your views on the Euro?

    MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 11th Sepember 2019.


    [​IMG]
    FX News Today
    • Asian bond markets in general under pressure as local investors caught up with developments in the US yesterday.
    • Excessive easing hopes continue to be scaled back ahead of the ECB meeting tomorrow and the Fed decision yesterday but with lingering hopes that governments will step up support for the global economy helping to underpin stock markets.
    • President Trump has fired National Security Adviser John Bolton.
    • The departure of Bolton has lifted hopes that the US will take a softer stance on China and North Korea and it also triggered a sell-off in oil amid hopes that tensions with Iran may ease.
    • China will lift limits on foreign investment, which underpinned brokerages.
    • News wires are citing a report from China’s South China Morning Post that China will buy more agricultural products from the US, to “sweeten” the trade deal. This should help add to optimism of more progress.
    • The WTI futures has recovered some of yesterday’s losses and is trading at $57.86 per barrel, after falling to a low of 57.20 in the wake of the Bolton announcement.
    Charts of the Day

    Technician’s Corner
    • Oil: WTI crude slid from $58.60 to $57.30 following news that NSA Bolton was fired by Trump. The ouster of the uber-hawk Bolton is equated by the oil market as an easing in potential conflict between the US and Iran. The WTI contract remains up over $1 from Monday’s low and the 200-day SMA.
    • USDJPY printed near 6-week highs of 107.84, continuing to be supported by hopes for a solution to the US/China trade dispute. US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said recently there has been “lots of progress on talks” recently. In addition, a Reuters source report ahead of the US open indicated BoJ policymakers have discussed further easing measures, including cutting rates further into negative territory. This weighed on the Yen as well.
    Main Macro Events Today

    • Producer Price Index (USD, GMT 12:30) – The Headline PPI is expected at a -0.1% dip for the PPI headline in August, with a 0.2% rise in the core index. As expected readings would result in a y/y gain of 1.7% for headline PPI that matches the July gain, and a 2.2% y/y rise for the core, versus 2.1% in July. The y/y headline readings is anticipated in a 1.3%-2.0% range over coming months, while core prices should be in a 1.9%-2.3% range.
    • Crude Oil Inventories (GMT 14:30)

    MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 12th Sepember 2019.


    [​IMG]
    FX News Today
    • Treasury yields declined overnight, as sentiment improved and central bank decisions come into view.
    • Stock markets remained supported during the Asian session as trade jitters continue to ease.
    • Bolton’s departure in the US has triggered renewed hopes of a softer stance in the Trump camp and goodwill gestures from both China and the US have rekindled hopes that tensions can be resolved through talks after all.
    • President Trump said he will delay the next US tariff increase on China by about two weeks, after China yesterday published an exemption list of its own tariffs on US imports.
    • The final reading of German August HICP inflation brought no surprise, with HCIP confirmed at just 1.0% y/y, far below the ECB’s reference rate of 2.0%.
    • US and European futures are moving higher.
    • The WTI future is trading at USD 56.27 per barrel.
    • The focus meanwhile is turning to today’s ECB meeting, which is widely expected to bring a cut to the deposit rate, but could disappoint on the QE front and coming ahead of the Fed decision next week, many will see it as a bellwether for easing intentions at global central banks.
    Charts of the Day
    [​IMG]

    Technician’s Corner
    • The Dollar saw a 6-week high against the Yen, as goodwill gestures from both the US and China on the tariff front lifted risk appetite. The Yen continued to see its safe-haven premium deflate. USDJPY is trading over 108, in what is now a fourth consecutive day of ascent, which is in turn amid a third consecutive week of gains. AUDJPY and GBPJPY also continued to rise amid general strength in export-driven currencies amid the buoyant mood on the trade front.
    Main Macro Events Today

    • Interest Rate Decision, Monetary Policy Statement and Press Conference (EUR, GMT 11:45 & 12:30) – The ECB is expected to cut deposit rate by 10 bp to -0.50%, with new tiered system to limit the impact. Most analysts are expecting a 10 bp cut in the deposit rate, which would leave it at -0.50%. The repo rate, currently at 0.00%, is likely to be kept on hold for now. The ECB is anticipated to re-open QE. There even is a risk that the restart of QE will be put on hold for now. With Lagarde taking over from Draghi in November, the pressure on governments to open their purse strings and complement an expansionary monetary policy with fiscal measures will likely increase.
    • Consumer Price Index and Core (USD, GMT 12:30) – The headline August CPI is estimated flat with a 0.2% core price increase, following July readings of 0.3% for both. As-expected gains would result in a headline y/y increase of 1.7%, down from 1.8% in July, while core prices should rise 2.3% y/y, up from a 2.2% pace in July. Overall, the inflation outlook remains benign, though we do expect an up-tilt in y/y gains into Q1 of 2020 due to harder comparisons.

    [​IMG]

    FX News Today
    • Bond markets remained under pressure overnight and Bund futures are selling off ahead of the opening in cash markets.
    • Draghi’s policy bazooka and especially the promise of open-ended asset purchases helped to bring down BTP yields in particular but in core markets, it put pressure on the long end as risk appetite improved.
    • US President Trump said he would consider an interim trade deal on China and while there is nothing substantial yet, hopes that both sides are inching closer to a deal have been strengthened this week.
    • The GER30 closed above the 12400 mark yesterday with a gain of 0.4% and GER30 as well as UK100 futures are moving higher in tandem with, but underperforming US futures, after a positive session in Asia. Today’s data calendar is quiet, with only Eurozone trade data of note, which will leave investors to look to US releases while digesting the impact of yesterday’s ECB move.
    • China and South Korea were closed for a holiday, but elsewhere across Asia stock markets moved higher with investors hoping that central bank support and progress on the trade front will help to revive global growth.
    • US futures are posting gains of 0.2-0.3%.
    • The WTI future is trading at USD 55.12 per barrel and heading for a weekly drop after the IEA warned this week that OPEC and its allies are facing a looming supply surplus. OPEC+ urged its members to implement promised production cuts this week but didn’t discuss deepening cuts, while the IEA highlighted that production from competitors is set to surge.
    Charts of the Day

    Technician’s Corner
    • YEN: The Yen posted fresh trend lows against the Dollar, though remained just off the lows it saw against the Euro, Australian Dollar and other currencies yesterday. USDJPY printed a 6-week high at 108.26 in what is now the fourth consecutive day of higher-high making. The Japanese currency has been deflating amid a persisting phase of risk-on conditions in global markets.
    Main Macro Events Today

    • Retail Sales (USD, GMT 12:30) – A 0.1% August retail sales headline rise with a flat ex-autos figure is projected, following a 0.7% July headline rise with a hefty 1.0% ex-auto gain. Gasoline prices should prove a drag on retail activity given an estimated -3% drop for the CPI gasoline index, and unit vehicle sales should hold steady in August from a 16.8 mln clip in July. Real consumer spending is expected to grow at a 3.6% rate in Q3, following the 4.7% Q2 clip.
    • Michigan Sentiment (USD, GMT 14:00) – The US consumer sentiment fell 8.6 points to 89.8 in the final August print (92.1 preliminary), weaker than expected, after inching up 0.2 ticks to 98.4 in July. The preliminary September Michigan sentiment reading is forecast at 90.5.

    MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 16th September 2019.


    [​IMG]

    Welcome to our weekly agenda, our briefing of all the key financial events globally. The week ahead is expected to be a massive one, as four of the major Central banks will announce their rate decision, i.e. Fed, BoJ, SNB and BoE. There is a lot of interest in seeing whether BoJ will follow the Fed’s steps next week in cutting rates.
    Monday – 16 September 2019


    • Industrial Production and Retail Sales (CNY, GMT 02:00) – The Chinese Industrial Production growth is expected to have risen, at 5.2% y/y in August from 4.8% y/y last month. A slightly positive reading is also expected in the Retail Sales figure at 7.9% from 7.6%.
    Tuesday – 17 September 2019

    • Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes (AUD, GMT 01:30) – The RBA minutes, similar to the ECB Reports, provide a detailed assessment of the bank’s most recent policy-setting meeting, containing in-depth insights into the economic conditions that influenced the rate decision. They are usually a cause for FX turbulence.
    • ZEW Economic Sentiment (EUR, GMT 09:00) – Economic Sentiment for September is projected at -38.0, from the lowest level since 2011 at -44.1 seen last month, as the current conditions indicator for Germany turned negative. The ZEW is a pretty clear indication that investors are gearing up for a much higher risk of a global recession, which ties in with developments in global bond yields and the marked flattening of curves.
    Wednesday – 18 September 2019

    • Consumer Price Index (GBP, GMT 08:30) – The UK CPI inflation is anticipated to be more underwhelming than the July data, at 1.9% y/y from 2.1% y/y, with a monthly rise up to 0.5% m/m.
    • Consumer Price Index and Core (EUR, GMT 09:00) – The final reading of inflation is expected to have held steady at 1.0% y/y and core at 0.9% y/y, with an increase in the monthly number at 0.2%m/m from -0.5%m/m. Lower energy price inflation keep a lid on the overall number meanwhile as CPI excluding energy moved up to 1.2% from 1.1% y/y last month.
    • Consumer Price Index (CAD, GMT 12:30) – The August CPI is expected to continue adding to the backing for steady BoC policy this year, even as the Fed and ECB add stimulus. CPI has been forecasted to grow to a 1.7% y/y pace in August, below the 2.0% last month.
    • Interest Rate Decision, Monetary Policy Statement and Press Conference (USD, GMT 18:00-18:30) – The August’s jobs data did little to alter the market’s expectations for a 25bp rate cut at the September 17-18 FOMC meeting. Based on Powell’s latest comments, the Fed is very committed to a symmetric 2% inflation goal, hence given low inflation, interest rates will remain low. That leaves very little room to cut rates further. The Fed is not forecasting or expecting a US recession, nor a global downturn, said Powell. The fact that the chair doesn’t seem too concerned about a recession in the States, or the world, suggests the FOMC is not going to be aggressive easing policy.
    Thursday – 19 September 2019

    • Interest Rate Decision, Monetary Policy Statement (JPY, GMT 02:00) – The BoJ kept its short-term interest rate target at -0.1% and its pledge to guide 10-year JGB yields around 0% while maintaining its asset buying program. The central bank is expected to signal once again its commitment to keep interest rates at current levels “for an extended period of time, at least through around spring 2020”. The BoJ pledged to keep an eye on the output gap, but for now at least it seems the bank is seeing the risks as coming mainly from the outside.
    • Interest Rate Decision, Monetary Policy Statement (CHF, GMT 07:30) – The SNB kept policy on hold at the June council meeting. The Libor target was replaced with a key policy rate, but the central bank was adamant that the degree of monetary accommodation remains unchanged. After the ECB cut rates, while the Fed is now widely expected to ease rates, the SNB has little room to manoeuvre, especially against the backdrop of ongoing Brexit uncertainty and geopolitical trade risks. The SNB’s central message remains that the situation remains fragile and the currency “highly valued”.
    • Interest Rate Decision, MPC Voting (GBP, GMT 11:00) – Shadowed by the ongoing political developments in Brexit, the BoE is not expected to proceed with any interest rate actions.
    Friday – 20 September 2019

    • Retail Sales ex Autos (CAD, GMT 12:30) – Retail sales and Core for August are seen steady, while the headline is anticipated to drop to 2.9% y/y from 3.3% and core to 2.5% from 2.9%.

    MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 20th Sepember 2019.


    [​IMG]
    FX News Today
    • Overall dovish signals from central banks yesterday underpinned Asian markets, which are mostly posting fractional gains.
    • Bund futures are fractionally higher in pre-market trading, while GER30 and UK100 futures are slightly lower.
    • Japan inflation hit a two year low, with CPI excluding fresh food coming in at just 0.5%, in line with estimates and the lowest rate since 2017.
    • BOJ: This may complicate the outlook for the BoJ, although excluding energy, prices actually nudged higher. The data will add to easing expectations after BoJ head Kuroda signalled a review of the overall situation and the impact of slowing world growth on price momentum in Japan.
    • Brexit developments: Negotiators from both sides are set to meet today, after the European Commission confirmed that it received some technical papers on alternative arrangements to the backstop.
    • German PPI inflation much weaker than expected at 0.3% y/y (median 0.6%).
    • OECD cut its 2019 and 2020 outlooks for growth globally, and across most of the world, versus the prior May estimates. And it indicated growth is set to slip to its slowest since the financial crisis thanks to the trade tumult.
    Charts of the Day

    Technician’s Corner
    • GBPUSD rallied from 1.2490 to over 1.2570, a 2-month high after EU commission president Juncker told Sky News he believes “we can have a deal” on Brexit by October 31. It remains to be seen, how Mr. Juncker plans to make a deal, since there has been no movement from the EU side in months. Cable had been languishing in the upper 1.25s.
    • USDJPY has again been range-bound through the session, sticking to a 107.90 to 108.08 trading band. Improved expectations for movement on the US-China trade war may limit USDJPY downside for now. Support comes at Monday’s 107.45 low, with Resistance at 108.50.

    • Retail Sales ex Autos (CAD, GMT 12:30) – Retail sales and Core for August are seen steady, while the headline is anticipated to drop to 2.9% y/y from 3.3% and core to 2.5% from 2.9%.

    MACRO EVENTS & NEWS OF 23rd September 2019.


    [​IMG]

    With nearly all central bank meetings out of the way it should be a data-focused week, although Brexit developments still have the potential to shake things up. The main scenario continues to assume a smooth Brexit transition, but business investment is now expected to continue to fall significantly as geopolitical trade tensions and Brexit uncertainty leave their mark. Nonetheless, the geopolitical situation in the Mideast is fragile, especially with the US openly considering taking military action against Iran.

    Monday – 23 September 2019

    • Services and Manufacturing PMI (EUR, GMT 07:30-08:00) – Aug manufacturing PMI confirmed at 47.0, vs 46.5 in July, Services PMI revised up to 53.5 from 53.4. This picture is likely to be seen again in the preliminary readings for September, as Manufacturing PMI has been forecast at 47.5, still below neutral. Meanwhile Services PMI is expected to fall to 53.3.
    • Services and Manufacturing PMI (USD, GMT 13:45) – Preliminary Manufacturing are expected to slip in September, to 50.1 from 50.3, while Services PMIs are likely to fall below 50, to 49.6, indicating a potential recession in the sector that has been hit by global trade tensions.
    Tuesday – 24 September 2019
    • German IFO (EUR, GMT 08:00) – German IFO business confidence fell further in August and more than anticipated, with the headline number now at the lowest level since Nov 2012. In September, the overall business climate reading is seen slightly higher at 95.1 from 94.3. So far the sector breakdown of the IFO still shows that optimists outnumber pessimists in both services and construction, but with the trade reading now also in negative territory and services confidence especially falling sharply in August, the balance of risks is clearly tilted to the downside.
    • CB Consumer Confidence (USD, GMT 14:00) – The Consumer Confidence is expected to ease to 134.0 in September from 135.1 in August and an 8-month high of 135.8 in July.

    • Asian stock markets moved mostly higher, as there are lingering hopes of progress ahead of high level US-Sino trade talks next month.
    • Japan’s Jibun Bank Flash Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index slipped to just 48.9. Together with the sharp decline in the German manufacturing PMI this will add to concerns over the outlook for the global economy.
    • ECB President Draghi yesterday signalled the readiness to act again.
    • Lagarde warned that trade tensions are the biggest threat to the global economy.
    • China’s central bank Governor Yi Gang said in a press briefing that China is not in a rush to roll out massive rate cuts or QE like some other central banks”.
    • GER30 and UK100 futures are posting slight gains, in tandem with US futures after a cautious move higher in Asia.

    Charts of the day

    Technician’s Corner
    • EURUSD bottomed at 8-session lows of 1.0966 into US session, down from 1.1025 highs. Weak European PMIs took the pairing to session lows, though since then, short covering has been noted, seeing a bounce to 1.0996 highs. There has been talk of a large 1.1000 option expiry on Thursday, which may see EURUSD center on that level until then. Sell-the-rally remains in place however, as the EU economy sputters, and as the Dollar continues to benefit from strong interest rate differentials.
    • GBPUSD: Cable carved out a fresh 6-day low at 1.2414, extending the correction from the 2-month peak seen on Friday at 1.2582. Markets will continue to demand a hefty Brexit discount. Markets are also waiting on the judgement of the UK’s Supreme Court, up today, on Boris Johnson’s controversial move to shut down Parliament for a 5-week period, with the government having appealed a ruling by Scotland’s highest court that the move was illegal. There is a chance that, it will agree with the recent court rulings seen in England and Northern Ireland, that the matter was “non-justiciable” — being political rather than a legal matter.
    • USOIL prices are down by over 8% from week-ago levels, but remain up by 6.7% from month-ago levels, and are up 27.2% on the year-to-date. News that some of Saudi’s production and distribution facilities will be back up and running as soon as next week weighed on crude prices. This comes with the US announcing that it is bolstering its military presence in Saudi Arabia for defensive and deterrence purposes
    Main Macro Events Today

    • German IFO (EUR, GMT 08:00) – German IFO business confidence fell further in August and more than anticipated, with the headline number now at the lowest level since Nov 2012. In September, the overall business climate reading is seen slightly higher at 95.1 from 94.3. So far the sector breakdown of the IFO still shows that optimists outnumber pessimists in both services and construction, but with the trade reading now also in negative territory and services confidence especially falling sharply in August, the balance of risks is clearly tilted to the downside.
    • CB Consumer Confidence (USD, GMT 14:00) – The Consumer Confidence is expected to ease to 134.0 in September from 135.1 in August and an 8-month high of 135.8 in July. A drop-back is expected in the current conditions reading to 173.0 from a 19-year high of 177.2 in August. The jobs strength diffusion index is poised for a drop-back from a remarkably lofty 19-year high in August of 39.4. Overall, confidence measures remain historically high.
    • BoJ Minutes (JPY, GMT 23:50) – The BoJ Minutes are expected to shed some light regarding whether Japanese policymakers are willing to consider rate cuts in the coming months.

    FX News Today
    • RBNZ on hold with dovish twist. As widely expected New Zealand’s central bank kept policy on hold with the key rate unchanged at 1%. The statement said, however, that there was more scope for monetary and fiscal stimulus, while saying it was “pleased to see” the the NZD’s depreciation
    • Sentiment started to settle overnight, amid signs of further conciliatory moves that keep hopes of progress on the trade front alive. Asian markets are up from lows and U.S. futures are moving higher, after yesterday’s sell off on Wall Street.
    • DAX and FTSE 100 futures are in the red, however, as Boris Johnson returns from New York to deal with the fallout from yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling that said the suspension of parliament was unlawful. MPs are set to return to Westminister today and another Brexit extension with new elections in the U.K. in November or December seem increasingly likely.
    • The prolonged uncertainty on the Brexit front meanwhile is adding to geopolitical trade tensions and leaving its mark on economic developments on both sides of the channel. The risk of a recession in Europe is looking very real.

    Technician’s Corner
    • EURUSD spent the morning session between 1.0994 and 1.1015, later climbing to 1.1020 highs in afternoon dealings. The highs came following reports that House Democrats are considering a special committee in order to attempt to impeach president Trump, which weighed on the Dollar overall. Bigger picture, with European growth fading and the U.S. economy still chugging along fairly well, EUR-USD is set to remain in sell-the-rally mode. Monday’s 1.0966 low is now support, with the 20-day moving average at 1.1028 marking resistance.
    • USDJPY: fell to better than two-week lows of 107.05 from pre-open highs of 107.79. The fall has come on the back of a bout of risk-off conditions, with sliding stocks initiated by Trump bashing China on trade from the UN, then talk that House Democrats are considering a special committee to impeach Trump. The pairing fell through its 20-day moving average at 107.24, though found some buyers ahead of the 50-day moving average, which currently sits at 107.06
    • USDCHF During Tuesday, the Swiss franc continued to gain support from a lack of confidence in the global growth outlook, especially after recent weak global manufacturing data. The Swiss currency & gold made net gains on Tuesday and remain underpinned with the franc weakening only slightly on Wednesday as US political developments added to investor concerns with the dollar around 0.9870.
    Main Macro Events Today
    • Non-Monetary Policy Meeting (EUR, GMT 07:00) – The monthly meeting of the ECB – with a speech from member Coeure to open events.
    • SNB – Quarterly Bulletin (CHF, GMT 13:00) and ZEW Survey (08:00 GMT) – With political developments on both sides of the Atlantic moving at a pace the safe haven status of the CHF could receive a bid with positive news flow today.
