- EUR/USD remains vulnerable near a fresh eight-week low of 1.0940 due to multiple headwinds. Apart from the firm US Dollar, the Euro’s (EUR) underperformance against its major peers due to escalating European Central Bank (ECB) dovish bets has also kept the shared currency pair on the backfoot.
- A majority of ECB officials have argued in favor of reducing interest rates further as risks of inflation remaining persistent in the Eurozone have significantly eased after the September flash annual Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) report decelerated to 1.8%, the lowest since April 2021. Also, growing risks to economic growth have allowed traders to price in a 25-bps interest rate cut in each of the remaining two meetings this year.
- German economic ministry said on Wednesday that they are expecting the economy to end the year with a 0.2% decline in the overall output. Earlier, the economic ministry projected a 0.3% growth but was forced to revise forecasts due to structural problems and geopolitical issues. Being the largest nation in the Eurozone, the impact of a de-growth in the German economy would be high on the Euro.
- On the economic front, annual German Retail Sales, a key measure of consumer spending that prompts inflationary pressures, expanded at a robust pace of 2.1% in August after contracting by 1.6% in July. On month-on-month, the consumer spending measure rose at a faster pace of 1.6% from 1.5% in July.
