Daily digest market movers: EUR/USD gains even though Euro struggles
- EUR/USD remains firm at the US Dollar’s expense as the Euro (EUR) is underperforming against other major peers on Wednesday. The Euro faces pressure amid growing uncertainty over the European Central Bank’s (ECB) interest-rate path and the Eurozone’s economic performance.
- ECB officials seem split over the interest rate-cut path due to diverging opinions over the inflation outlook. On Friday, the comments from ECB Governing Council member and Bank of France President, François Villeroy de Galhau indicated that more rate cuts are needed to avoid the risk of inflation coming in too low despite a dovish decision on Thursday. In Wednesday’s Asian session, Villeroy said the ECB “is likely to continue to cut rates.”
- On the contrary, ECB Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said on Monday in a blog post: "We will almost surely need to wait until December for a clearer picture before making our next move," Reuters reported. Kazimir emphasized the need to be certain that price pressures continue to decline as projected, “otherwise policymakers might regret rushing to cut borrowing costs before inflation has been sustainably defeated”, he said.
