European trading session for the dollar quite ambivalent: he managed to
strengthen against the pound and Australian dollar, but surrendered the
position against the yen. We live under the laws of interest to the
risk, therefore, positive economic statistics will result in an
increase in the stock markets, and as a consequence, sales of the
dollar and the yen and buying euros and pounds. Thus, the euro / dollar
at the beginning of the day reached a new monthly highs at 1.3439.
Published this week on business activity in the manufacturing sectors
in Europe, China and India, as well as an unexpected increase in sales
in the secondary housing market in the United States became a cause for
celebration in the markets, istoskovavshihsya of good news. Now
everything suggests that the worst may already be behind us, and in the
future the situation will only stabilize. However, publication of data
on an index of producer prices in the euro area in March brought about
changes. Indicator of the annual ratio fell by 3.1% - this is the most
significant drop over the past 22 years, which once again attracted the
attention of investors to the scheduled meeting this Thursday and the
ECB rate decision. It is expected to be reduced by 25 basis points to
1%. Strengthening the deflationary trend in the level of producer
prices increased the risk of diversion of the European Central Bank's
policy of quantitative easing. However, according to the International
Monetary Fund, the risks of deflation in the euro area is considerably
lower than in the United States or Japan. This gives management the
European Bank for more space to maneuver, and lets not deviate from the
selected hard-line behavior. ECB meeting this week may become the
catalyst that either ascend to the euro to new heights, or to bring
down to the next level. Since October last year the Bank cut rates by
300 basis points to a record low 1.25%. However, despite the euro is
still among the most profitable rate, because the rest of the Central
Bank, too, hurried to ease monetary policy. Now many wonder whether the
ECB will be able to keep its stake at a relatively high level compared
with the rates of other developed countries, and how to begin the
process of recovery. Despite the Bank's caution and reluctance to use
unconventional steps to maintain the banking sector, the risks of
aggravating the recession in the euro area to put it on a par with the
rest, in particular with the United States, Japan and Britain. No
reduction in rates, as such, namely the shift to quantitative easing
(or waived) will be the main catalyst for movements. Today the market
is also in awe, waiting for the long-awaited publication of the results
of stress tests for a number of American banks. This explains the
nervousness in the market and volatility dynamics. The Wall Street
Journal today published an article which stated that 10 of the 19 banks
that have passed the stress test, need for additional funding. Despite
the fact that this information has the status of rumors, investors took
it as a reason for the reduction of risk positions, which,
respectively, contributed to the strengthening of the dollar.
