Euro
Germany seem to be top of the tree in global economics as well as soccer. S&P late Friday evening re-affirmed Germany at AAA, with a stable outlook, whereas the Netherlands had slightly worse rating still AAA but outlook has been reset to negative, we shall see if they can live up to their newly appointed title. Since Mario Draghi’s speech of last week in which he argued in favor of sticking to current monetary policy measures furthermore priming the market for additional stimulus, the plight of Germany has become a great point of debate.
ECB members over the course of the weekend have been extremely vocal which could have attributed to the rise of Mr. Euro against his forex counterparts.
British Pound
A report released over the weekend sees English firms hiring at the fastest speed in more than a decade. Every region within the UK saw growth in June with the North East leading the pack. Figures suggest that the rapid fall we have seen in unemployment is not set to stop anytime soon. Whether these promising figures will tempt Mr Carney into any meaningful action is less than likely, we live in hope however that at least one of the Central banks across the globe will act soon enough to shake up global markets and create some interest. Mean while the British pound has been indecisive and dancing sideways on the forex dance floor.
Japanese Yen
Japans PM Shinzo Abe has lost a number of regional elections. He will take some comfort in the release of Industrial Production numbers which were revised marginally higher this morning to 0.7% from 0.5%. Mr. Japanese Yen still lost some ground against many of its counterparts, Miss USA (the Dollar) namely.
US Dollar
Markets eagerly await news from the FED this week. Janet Yellen will be taking the stage for the congressional testimony, the markets are all ears hoping for some cues on the outlook for US monetary policy.
Today we are extremely quiet on the data front. Japanese Industrial production numbers were indeed the highlight. We follow this up with Eurozone industrial production later this morning. Save for this a mass of football hysteria will dominate the press. hopefully this will be the last day.
