The BOJ will be monitoring how rising crude oil prices increase the cost of petrochemical products and other crude oil-based commodities, and how these cost pressures are transmitted to domestic prices. While rising crude oil prices will directly push up energy prices such as gasoline in the short term, this temporary fluctuation is unlikely to prompt the central bank to raise interest rates sooner than expected.1. Berenberg: The room for further rate cuts is quite limited; the Fed is expected to implement the final 25 basis point rate cut of this cycle at its June meeting. 2. Goldman Sachs: Expects 25 basis point rate cuts in September and December respectively. If the labor market weakens earlier and more severely than expected, rate cuts may be implemented sooner. 3. Deutsche Bank: Rates are expected to remain unchanged this week. Rising geopolitical uncertainty and inflation risks triggered by soaring oil prices are eroding the room for further rate cuts. 4. Credit Agricole: Rates are expected to remain unchanged until the end of the year. Some members may advocate ignoring short-term energy-driven inflation spikes, but most members tend to be more cautious. 5. Rabobank: Under Powells leadership, the Fed is likely to maintain a wait-and-see stance; if Warsh takes office, the Fed may be more aggressive, potentially pushing for rate cuts to combat economic downturn. 6. TS Lombard: Labor market concerns are resurfacing. If the energy shock subsides within weeks, coupled with the base effect of tariff inflation in the second half of the year and a rapid slowdown in rent inflation, two rate cuts are still possible this year.

The EUR/USD rise is getting close to 1.0200 as investors await US inflation data

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
