本周市场开盘积极，美国和欧洲股市上涨，债券收益率下降。 本周将主要关注欧洲的增长和通胀，而美国将关注即将到来的美联储利率决定和就业报告。 瑞典的经济增长数据证实了这个斯堪的纳维亚国家正处于衰退之中，而德国和西班牙的消费者物价指数数据可能表明欧洲通胀正急剧下降，上涨可能已经停滞。 德国初步通胀率停留在 2.2% 左右，而西班牙总体通胀率跃升至 3.3%。 美国的通胀似乎再次上升，美联储可能会将利率维持在目前的高水平，直到他们确认通胀“回到正常范围”。 美元走软，使得欧元升至1.0720，而英镑则跳回1.2550。
货币市场真正关注的是日元的急剧下跌。 日本市场因公共假期休市，日元跌至 34 年来的最低点，突破 160.00。 随即日元迅速收复失地，交易区间回至 156.00，这可能表明出现了一些市场干预。 与此同时，在美联储利率决定之前，大宗商品货币受益于美元走软，澳元升至0.5650，而纽元则跃升至0.5950上方。
Markets opened the week on a positive note, with US and European equities climbing and bond yields on the decline. The week will be dominated by growth and inflation in Europe, while the US will be focused on the looming Fed interest rate decision and key employment reports. Swedish growth numbers confirmed the Scandinavian country is in recession, while German and Spanish CPI data may be indicating the precipitous fall in European inflation, may have stalled. The German preliminary inflation rate has stalled around 2.2%, while Spanish headline inflation jumped to 3.3%. Inflation appears to be on the rise again in the US, and the Fed is likely to leave rates at these elevated levels, until they see confirmation that inflation is ‘back in the box’. The US Dollar was softer and allowed the EUR to pop up to 1.0720, while the GBP jumped back to 1.2550.
The real focus on currency markets was the precipitous decline in the Japanese Yen. The Japanese markets were closed for a timely public holiday, with the Yen crashing to 34-year lows, blowing through 160.00. There may have been some intervention, as the Yen rapidly recovered some lost ground, to trade 156.00. Markets eagerly await the open of today’s trading. Commodity currencies meanwhile benefited the softer reserve ahead of the Fed rate decision, with the AUD pushing up to 0.5650, while the NZD jumped above 0.5950.
