EU Session Bullet Report – NFP Mixed, USD lower

20150810-eurusd

Non-farm payrolls on Friday was solid at 215k jobs added however the USD reversed its gains shortly after the release. The number did not seem to convince markets that it is enough to secure a rate hike in September. Remember, last week dovish Fed member Lockhart said that it would take a significant deterioration in the data to convince him not to vote to hike in September. Please note that he is speaking again today so a strong USD could emerge again as a result of his hawkish stance.

BOE also somewhat disappointed with the rhetoric being dovish and more defensive as to raising rates which had its toll on the Sterling. BOE voted 8-1to leave the rates unchanged whereas the market anticipated at least 2 members voting for a rate hike.

In a nutshell, the FED is looking only at 2 things until the September 17 US rate decision and these are the things that will influence currency fluctuations until then:

  1. Becoming “reasonably confident that inflation is heading close to 2% “over the medium term” (watch out for inflation and wages data)
  2. “some further improvement in the labor market” (watch out for jobless claims and September 4th NFP)

For today, other than Lockhart’s speech, there is no significant data releases.
