EUR/USD vs. PMIs, ECB
The euphoria post-FOMC is over. Market participants have digested the expected dovish tone from the FOMC statement and they’re now getting ready for another key day, with final July PMI prints and the ECB meeting lying ahead. Annette Beacher, Head of Asia-Pacific Research at TDS Securities, commented, “The ECB can deliver much the same statement as last time, including the forward guidance that rates will be left at present or lower levels for an extended period of time. We remain of the view that this threat to cut will not materialise, at least not over the next few months, as the data is gradually improving, and the focus is on SME credit provision scheme coming in the autumn”.
