Today will be dominated by economic data:
8:00 German Import Prices
8:00 UK House Prices
8:45 France CPI
9:00 Swiss KOF Indicator
9:00 Austria HICP
9:55 Germany Unemployment
11:00 EU HICP
14:30 US PCE
14:30 Canada GDP
15:45 Chicago CPI
16:00 University of Michigan Sentiment final
As mentioned yesterday the Fed wants to cut rates and needs the justification, today`s PCE is the first of three crucial input points with the labor market data next Friday and the CPI on September 11 the last before the rate decision on September 18.
A cut is fully expected in September, the question is 25 or 50 basis points. Currently the probability is 68/32 in favor of 25. In the three meetings until the end of the year, 100 basis points are expected.
With the European Inflation at 11, EURUSD will be interesting to watch today, the ECB is seen to cut by 25 basis points in September with 99% probability and 63 basis points by year end. The shift in expectation will be a main driver.
US 10-Year Yields rose after the strong GDP number and caused EURUSD and GBPUSD to drop away from resistance levels. Kim took ka look at the technical levels yesterday and called the correction perfectly.
Month end, Israel and Ukraine should be of limited market impact unless there is a major event.
Trade safely!
