Main market news on September 23
The US dollar has broken through the key resistance, it failed to cross since March so far. Riskier assets are dipping. Let’s discuss it in detail.
EU might have some of its surge potential regained
The European Union might have some of its surge potential regained. That’s what European Central Bank chief expert Peter Praet told. It’s undoubtedly a boon for the EU’s five-year expansion, although a probable drag on already poor inflation.
The 19-member currency union might feature more unexploited capacity, especially in the labor market. So it might take inflation longer to rebound to the ECB's objective of nearly 2%.
Having recovered surge with years of stimulus, the European Central Bank is currently stopping support, while traders are looking for clues about the bank’s next move following a token change in the policy language a bit earlier in March.
Markets expect the European Central Bank to conclude its 2.55 trillion euro bond buying scheme this year and Praet's remarks drop a hint that policymakers will keep taking a gradualist approach, in fear that steep moves could upset financial markets and also undermine its efforts to keep borrowing conditions void.
More females, elderly employees as well as qualified labor from Central Europe entering the market could be among the probable explanations for this sudden labor supply, as Praet pointed out.
Inflation has managed to have the ECB's target undershot for five years and it will keep miss it through the end of the decade. Undoubtedly, that’s a risk to the key bank’s credibility due to the fact price stability appears to be the bank's singular goal.
While Praet told the debate as for this slack was open, it would clearly explain why surge and employment keep surprising on the upside as well as inflation on the downside, thus contradicting a long-proven interaction between price surge and jobs.
Started three years ago, the EU key bank’s bond buying scheme is braced for running until the end of September, currently at 30 billion euros a month, which is quite below peak buying at 80 billion euros.
