Forex - Weekly outlook: 10.29 - 11.02
After some bloody rains, heavy data piled up means that the market is still difficult to calm down.
After the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank's interest rate decision, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England will be on the stage. Although the two countries will release a number of inflation-related data, the impact on the central bank's interest rate policy is limited.
The Bank of Japan is expected to continue to lack new ideas. Domestic inflation is far from the target of 2%, and the impact of the trade war on the economy is difficult to predict. The Bank of England is also difficult to take concrete actions. The Brexit progress is full of twists and turns, so the central bank is more inclined. Take a wait-and-see model.
The US non-agricultural employment data is the top priority. The current unemployment rate is at a low level of 49 years. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the prosperity of the labor market can be further transformed into inflationary pressure. In addition, the United States will also release data such as the September personal consumption expenditure price index. As the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, the August core PCE price index reported 2% per annum, unchanged from expectations.
The Fed did not change its hawkish stance due to recent risk events and stock market crashes, including the newly appointed Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida, who supported the continued interest rate hike. The economic heat of the third quarter of the United States will not change. Once inflation continues to heat up, I believe the Fed will decisively step up to control price stability.
The European side will release data such as third quarter GDP and October consumer price index. In this resolution, Draghi expressed confidence in the economy and inflation. However, given the stalemate in the US-European trade negotiations, the Brexit and the Italian budget, regional growth is facing a further slowdown.
China will announce the official manufacturing purchasing managers' index for October, while Australia will announce the third quarter consumer price index and producer price index, which will provide more guidance for the future direction of the Australian dollar.
