EU Session Bullet Report – Slow start to a busy week

Over the past week, there were lots of important developments which the market has not fully digested yet. ECB delivered a rate cut, however the market was unimpressed as to the effectiveness of only this measure. As a result the EUR had its strongest day in 6 years after it advanced 462 pips in one day. Global stocks nosedived following the event with Dow dropping 252 points. On Friday, the NFP jobs report was released at 211k versus 200k expected, sealing the deal for a December rate hike for the first time in 10 years. USD was the weakest currency of the week along with the JPY. Some Trading Desks in Banks had to revise their forecast for EURUSD as now the market has shifted into a neutral direction.

As for data this session, it is a slow Monday with German industrial production to start the day followed by BoE governor Carney speaking at 15:00 GMT in Brussels. This week however, features 3 other central banks in the list of market watchers. Those include RBNZ, SNB and BoE, all on Thursday. Other focuses will include China trade balance, CPI and PPI; UK industrial and manufacturing productions, as well as Australian employment.
