Key Quotes:
“Global manufacturing activity continued to show signs of a recovery in aggregate, providing a balm for global markets in the past week”.
“…the ongoing dollar retracement lower may well prove transient going into the FOMC next week”.
“…the latest US labor market numbers should not derail the Fed’s taper intentions, with the MSIs putting up a decent performance in recent weeks”.
“EZ MSIs have been supportive of the EUR but this has been tempered by the ECB’s unflinching commitment to a low interest rate environment”.
“…a capitulating dollar has been supportive of the Asian units in recent sessions but the improvement in risk appetite levels has not yielded much traction. The dollar play may remain in force ahead of the FOMC next week”.
