ECB sources from Reuters:Policymakers ready to raise rates to stem effects of Iran warLittle appetite at ECB to signal further tighteningThe market is 94% priced for a Sept 10 rate hike and fully priced for another hike by April. This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.
EUROPEAN SESSIONIn the European session, we have the German IFO survey which is expected to improve to 87.2 vs 86.6 in the prior month. The IFO is correlated with the German Composite PMI given that they measure basically the same thing, although they occasionally diverge due to differences in survey design and sector weightings. The data is not going to change anything for the ECB, so the market reaction will likely be muted.AMERICAN SESSIONIn the American session, the only highlight is the US...
A September hike is now close to fully priced by markets, meaning the bigger risk for the yen sits with any surprise hold rather than with the move itself. Bessent's public nudge toward higher Japanese rates adds a political dimension, effectively narrowing the space for Tokyo's pro stimulus government to resist BOJ action. If Adachi's view proves right and the tightening cycle extends toward 2% or higher through next year, that would mark a materially steeper path than the median economist fore...

He added that monetary policy needs to remain "well calibrated" as policymakers continue to assess incoming economic data. He also noted that inflation remains far from the ECB adverse and severe scenarios.Cipollone stressed that there are currently no signs pointing to a stagflation scenario. He added that the risk of stagnation accompanied by a s...
The week starts off slow with no major economic events for the FX market scheduled for Monday. The following day Japan will release the BoJ core CPI y/y, while the U.S. will publish the CB consumer confidence and new home sales data. Wednesday will bring Australia's CPI data and in the U.S., the focus will shift to the core PCE price index m/m, preliminary GDP q/q, and durable goods orders m/m.

The pace of expansion in the services sector was unchanged from July but comes in better than what we saw from Europe's two largest economies, with growth outside of the region picking up considerably. Who need...
ECB policymaker Mārtiņš Kazāks said inflation expectations remain anchored close to the ECB's target, a sign that households, businesses, and financial markets continue to have confidence in the central bank's commitment to price stability. He also highlighted that wage growth is gradually slowing, suggesting that one of the key domestic drivers of inflationary pressure may continue to moderate in the coming quarters. The ECB has repeatedly pointed to wage dynamics as a key factor in assess...
EUROPEAN SESSIONIn the European session, we get the Flash PMIs for the major Eurozone economies and the UK. Pretty much all of them are expected to pull back from prior month's levels given the ongoing Hormuz disruption and US-Iran stalemate. The data won't change anything for the respective central banks, though, so the market reaction will likely be muted. Right now, the market is more focused on the Treasury "intervention" plan trying to limit the surge in long-term yields. This has eased f...
The acceleration in output growth, combined with near record selling price inflation and a sustained rise in employment, strengthens the case for the Bank of Japan to proceed with a rate hike at its September meeting. A private sector expanding at its fastest pace in six months, alongside firms still able to push through some of the steepest price increases on record, suggests the economy can absorb tighter policy without an immediate loss of momentum, addressing one of the central bank's key he...
The data lands squarely within the range the Bank of Japan needs to justify moving in September, with core inflation matching forecasts and the closely watched core-core measure accelerating to 1.9%. The pickup in service sector inflation is arguably the more important signal for policymakers than the headline energy driven move, since it points to firms passing on labour costs in a tight jobs market rather than a one-off pass-through from oil. Wholesale inflation running at 7.2%, with electrici...
