Overview and Dynamics
As always, three weeks after the Committee meeting at the Federal Open Market (FOMC), yesterday published reports from this meeting. The minutes stated that "some of the participants of the meeting considered that it would be appropriate to raise the target range for interest rates relatively soon, if the labor market continues to strengthen, and economic activity -. Grow Others prefer to wait for more conclusive evidence of approaching inflation to the established by the Committee open market operations target level of 2%. "
Thus, among the FOMC members, there are some differences in the timing and rate of increase in US interest rates. However, most Fed officials believed that it would be appropriate to raise rates once more before the end of this year. Now, most market participants expect increasing rates in the US in December, despite the fact that in early November, will be held another meeting of the Fed on this issue (01-02 November). As was noted in the minutes, "reasonable arguments can be given in favor of a rate hike at the meeting or in favor of waiting additional information on the labor market and inflation."
On expectations of a rate hike in December, the US dollar is boosting its position against most other major currencies.
At the same time, growing concerns about the European economy put pressure on the euro. Pound continues to decline on fears related to Brexit, and pulls the euro. Thus, the pair EUR / USD is under double pressure from a strengthening in the currency market, the dollar and euro weakness. Reducing the EUR / USD pair has upward pressure on the dollar index and the downward pressure on commodity prices, commodity currencies, emerging markets and China. In all likelihood, a further decline is likely the pair EUR / USD 1.0975 with the immediate objectives, 1.0915, and 1.0825.
From the news today forward data from the US. At 12:30
(GMT) will be published a report on the number of new (primary) applications
for the grant on unemployment in the US last week. The result is higher than
expected indicate a weakness of the labor market, which has a negative impact
on the US dollar, and vice versa. The previous value is 249 000, 254 000 -
the forecast. Also at that time published
an index of export/import prices in the US for September. Weak or negative
values will put pressure on the dollar. Also pay attention to the speech of
the head of the Bank of England, scheduled for the period after 12:30, and a
member of the FOMC Patrick Harker (beginning at 16:15). Carney Speeches and
Harker will add additional volatility in the foreign exchange market.
