EUR/USD Sentiment

  • Ceasefire or conflict:  The breaking news about a  permanent ceasefire came out of Kiev and were followed by a denial from Moscow. While the presidents talked, nothing is really changing on the ground. Obama didn’t confirm this in an appearance in Estonia and the EU is reportedly  about to announce new sanctions today. While the euro managed to maintained its gains, it didn’t go to far. Analysis:  5 Reasons to fade the Ukraine-Russia ceasefire
  • Pressure on Draghi: Tensions is mounting towards the rate decision on Thursday. Will Draghi announce QE or just hint about an upcoming announcement? Will there be more cuts in the rock bottom interest rates? Expectations stand on more words but no new action. France wants Draghi to weaken the euro while Germany was reportedly unhappy with his comments in Jackson Hole –  comments that implied more action.
  • High hopes for the NFP: While the US events are currently on the back-burner, the first hint was positive: the ISM manufacturing PMI came out better than expected. Join the webinar for a preparation for the NFP and the ECB.
