Investors will be closely watching for a key piece of information: Will Powell and his colleagues set a total of three rate cuts this year, or stick with their June forecast (when a minority of officials expected two cuts, given the seemingly more robust job market)?" Last month, in a highly anticipated speech, Powells concern about the job market outweighed the concerns of some of his colleagues about inflation. The question now is: Will Powell further intensify this concern after the weak August non-farm payroll report? Doing so would confirm market expectations of further rate cuts in the coming meetings, but would also likely require overcoming the concerns of some colleagues who are hesitant to commit to such a rapid policy shift due to concerns about the neutral interest rate level and whether it should be brought there.According to the Financial Times: Britain has abandoned its plan to impose zero tariffs on steel exports to the United States.U.S. House Speaker Johnson: A vote on the temporary bill is expected on Friday.

EUR/GBP is anticipated to decline below 0.8730 as BoE-ECB policy divergence widens

The EUR/GBP pair fluctuates erratically within a 0.8730-point range during the Asian session. The cross aims to fall below the aforementioned support as the market anticipates higher rates from the Bank of England (BoE) despite credible indicators of banking turmoil.

 

The failure of three midsize United States commercial banks and the 164-year-old Credit Suisse has jolted the confidence of market participants. Two schools of thought have perplexed investors, with one believing that central banks could maintain a constant approach to interest rates despite the possibility of significant repercussions from the banking shakeup. Others believe that inflation is extremely persistent, especially in the United Kingdom region, and must be brought under control as soon as possible.

 

In order to maintain pressure on UK inflation, the market expects BoE Governor Andrew Bailey to announce a 25 basis point (bps) reduction in interest rates. This would result in 4.25 percent interest rates.

 

Prior to the Bank of England's interest rate decision, inflation data for the United Kingdom will be diligently monitored. The annual headline CPI is expected to decline from 10.1% to 9.8%, according to projections. At 5.8%, the core CPI, which excludes the cost of fuels and food, would not change.

 

Christine Lagarde's remarks on inflation projections and earnings bolstered expectations for the European Central Bank's (ECB) sustained rate hikes in the Eurozone. ECB According to Reuters, Lagarde stated that it is anticipated that inflation will remain excessively elevated for too long. She added that as a consequence of robust labor markets, wage pressures have increased and workers are endeavoring to regain some of their purchasing power.
