EU Session Bullet Report – A Full calendar today – USD in range

1

The markets remained within a tight range yesterday and overnight as traders await the FOMC rate decision on Thursday. USD is holding near a 3 week low against a basket of most major currencies as investors bet the rates would be kept at their record lows until at least December. Although labor conditions are very strong, uncertainty from China keeps the possibility for a hike very low. Although some in the market believe that the FED could raise rates, the view that we will have a December liftoff is gathering support.

In Asia, the AUDUSD dropped from a 2 week high to 0.7130 following the minutes of the RBA September policy meeting which in combination with another Chinese stock market selloff, dragged the AUD lower.

In commodity markets, gold still remains under pressure. After rallying at the start of August, gold has now fallen for a 3rd straight week and has given back 3/4ths of those gains. Very important support level is at $1100. Further direction from the FED will be a make or break deal for the precious metal.

The economic calendar today is full. UK will release CPI and PPI inflation data. EZ will release the German ZEW, Eurozone trade balance and employment. In the US, retail sales, FED manufacturing and industrial production will be released. Main focus remains the FOMC decision on Thursday.
