Jam-packed macro calendar

• Cross-currents. Sell-off in US tech stocks resumes. US bond yields lower, while in FX the USD consolidated. AUD range bound over the past 24hrs.• Q2 CPI. Australian inflation due today. Data will make or break the case for another RBA hike. Consensus forecasts are above the RBA’s assumptions.• Global events. Offshore the China PMIs, EZ CPI, & US ECI are due. The BoJ also meets, while tomorrow morning the US Fed delivers its decision. There were a few renewed wobbles in markets overnight ahead of a jam-packed 24hrs of economic releases and central bank decisions. The sell-off in US...

Currency Traders Keep Powder Dry Ahead of Looming Event Risks

So far, so good. A potentially-dangerous week in foreign exchange markets has started quietly, with most major currency pairs remaining tightly rangebound as traders brace for a raft of central bank decisions, data releases, and earnings reports over the coming days. The dollar is stable, Treasury yields are flatlining, and equity futures are setting up for a modestly stronger open. The Canadian dollar and other risk proxies are holding near Friday’s closing levels after the US Treasury Department’s latest borrowing estimate met market expectations, leaving bond yields flat during yesterday’s session, and reducing anxiety ahead of tomorrow’s quarterly refunding announcement....

The calm before the storm?

• Quiet start. No major data or news overnight. Major asset classes contained to recent ranges. AUD hovering near its 1-year average, NZD a bit weaker.• Busy few days. Several events looming. In the US there are a few jobs indicators due over coming days, with the US Fed also meeting.• AU CPI. Quarterly inflation due tomorrow. This is a more detailed set of figures. Consensus looking for core inflation to come in above the RBA’s forecasts. It has been a quiet start to the week, unsurprising given the lack of economic data and news. In contrast to Eurozone equities...

Currency Markets Stabilise as Traders Brace for Heavy Week

Markets are holding steady ahead of a week full of potential volatility landmines: central bankers in Tokyo, Washington and London will deliver rate decisions, four of the ‘magnificent seven’ technology companies – Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft – will release earnings, the euro area will publish an inflation update, and a critical US non-farm payrolls report will cap things off before the August doldrums set in. The dollar is edging higher, Treasury yields are slumping, and equity futures are setting up for a second day of gains after last week’s steep stock market selloff. Investors remain unwilling to take short...

Push & pull factors

• Positive tone. Improved risk sentiment. Equities rebound. Bond yields lower. Backdrop helps the AUD claw back a little lost ground.• Volatility bursts. It is a jam-packed week of events. We think more market volatility is likely as the macro cross-currents wash through.• Event radar. Q2 AU CPI due (Weds). BoJ (Weds), BoE & US Fed (both Thurs) meet. US payrolls are released (Fri), as is the China PMI & EZ CPI (Weds). After a challenging spell risk sentiment improved a bit at the end of last week. European and US equities rose on Friday with the S&P500 up over...
