- The European Central Bank (ECB) will draw most attention this Thursday, with a near certainty of a 25 basis point rate cut. More important will be the message ECB President Christine Lagarde will bring after some concerning headlines regarding the performance of the German economy and other countries in the Eurozone. The rate decision will be published at 12:15 GMT, and the press conference will start at 12:45 GMT.
- In the US, Weekly Jobless Claims will be released near 12:30 GMT, with Initial Claims expected to mildly jump to 230,000 from 227,00. Continuing Claims were previously at 1.838 million.
- Together with the weekly Jobless Claims, the Producer Price Index (PPI) for August will be released:
- The monthly headline PPI is expected to grow at a stable 0.1%, and the yearly headline PPI should ease to 1.8% from 2.2% a month earlier.
- The monthly core PPI is expected to increase by 0.2% after being unchanged a month earlier, while the yearly core PPI is expected to rise by 2.5%, accelerating from the 2.4% increase seen in July.
- The US Treasury will swamp the bond market with a 4-week bill auction at 15:30 GMT, and a 30-year bond auction at 17:00 GMT.
- Equities have priced in the 25 basis point rate cut for the Fed next week, and are jumping higher this Thursday. The ECB set to deliver a rate cut as well, and European equities are rallying over 1% on the day.
- The CME Fedwatch Tool shows a 87.0% chance of a 25 basis points (bps) interest rate cut by the Fed on September 18 against a 13.0% chance for a 50 bps cut. For the meeting on November 7, another 25 bps cut (if September is a 25 bps cut) is expected by 49.3%, while there is a 45.0% chance that rates will be 75 bps (25 bps 50 bps) and a 5.6% probability of rates being 100 (25 bps 75 bps) basis points lower.
- The US 10-year benchmark rate trades at 3.67%, off the fresh 15-month low at 3.60%.
