FundamentalOverview

The USD is weaker acrossthe board following the soft US PPI report yesterday. The market pricing is nowshowing a total of 31 bps of easing by year end compared to 24 bps before thePPI. The focus remains on the US CPI report today.

A hot report will likelycause some trouble in the markets with the stock market looking as the mostvulnerable right now.The best outcome would be a softreport given the overstretched moves in the markets caused by the repricing inrate cuts expectations.

That would likely reversemost of the recent trends and trigger a correction in Treasury yields andtherefore in the US Dollar.

On the EUR side, the latestEurozone CPI came in line with forecastsalthough the Core measure remained pretty sticky around 2.7%. As a reminder, theECB cut thepolicy rate by 25bps at the last decision bringing it to 3.00%.

The central bank removedthe passage saying that “it will keep policy rates sufficiently restrictive foras long as necessary” implying that upside inflation risks have faded. Themarket sees a 98% probability of a rate cut at the upcoming meeting and a totalof 88 bps of easing by year end.
