Commerzbankโs Antje Praefcke reports that the Polish central bank kept its key rate at 3.75%, while Governor Glapiลski signalled no cuts until year-end after previously sounding dovish. With rate cuts now seen as unrealistic given higher inflation and geopolitical risks, the completed policy U-turn should underpin the Zloty, though future moves will depend on whether […]
Commerzbankโs Michael Pfister notes that markets fully price todayโs ECB rate hike and see around 85 basis points of additional tightening by mid-2027, heavily driven by Oil dynamics. He argues this leaves little room for the ECB to meet expectations, making a clearly hawkish surprise necessary for Euro strength, while any disappointment could weigh on […]
Commerzbankโs Tatha Ghose expects Polandโs NBP to leave rates unchanged at 3.75% and sees the key question as whether the MPC formally drops earlier dovish language. With fuel-driven inflation pressures and a weaker Zloty, he argues that Glapinskiโs prior hints at imminent cuts are obsolete and that rate reductions are unlikely before year-end, which could modestly support […]
Commerzbankโs Antje Praefcke notes that EUR/USD is likely to stay relatively quiet until later in the week, when the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting and US inflation data could trigger stronger moves. She highlights that market expectations for further ECB rate hikes may need to be revised lower, potentially weighing on the Euro, while stronger […]
Commerzbankโs Thu Lan Nguyen notes that the latest US labour market report does not materially alter expectations for a Septemberย Fedย rate move, leaving August US inflation as the key driver. Market pricing of roughly a 60% probability for a hike suggests divided positioning, with potential for significant USD volatility around the Fed meeting depending on how […]
Commerzbank highlights that Bank Negara Malaysia kept the OPR at 2.75% but shifted to a more hawkish bias, removing language that policy is “appropriate” and signalling vigilance on cost pressures. Strong growth and benign inflation allow patience, yet the bank appears to prepare markets for a possible hike later this year or early 2027, with […]
Commerzbank says Chinaโs August Services PMI rebound highlights some resilience in private-sector activity, but weak retail sales, soft inflation and higher unemployment still point to fragile domestic demand. The stronger PMI reduces the urgency for immediate PBoC easing, while leaving room for further support if growth weakens into year-end. Fragile demand keeps PBoC easing options […]
Commerzbankโs Thu Lan Nguyen argues that recent interventions by Japanese authorities and the US Treasury have largely lost impact, with the Japanese Yen giving back gains against the Dollar and US yields returning to prior levels. She highlights unclear policy objectives and credibility issues, noting that fiscal concerns remain a headwind for the US Dollar […]
Commerzbankโs Michael Pfister highlights renewed weakness in the Japanese Yen as USD/JPY repeatedly breaks above 160 despite record FX interventions. He argues that expectations for Bank of Japan rate hikes, rather than intervention, now drive the currency, with recent hawkish comments boosting speculation. Pfister warns that failure to deliver a hike at the upcoming BoJ […]
Commerzbankโs Tatha Ghose notes that NBP Governor Adam Glapinski used G20 remarks to shift towards a more neutral, flexible stance, avoiding earlier dovish hints of imminent rate cuts. With August CPI surprising hawkishly and the Zloty underperforming CE3 peers, the bank is seen on the back foot. Ghose expects unchanged rates on 9 September but […]
