EURO-DOLLAR: ANZ note that "EUR/USD implied 3-month vol remains within the
established range & below the average of the past 2 years. The market will
continue to look for "jumps" and the focus is on the numerous challenges that
EUR faces. These include Italian budget discussions, Brexit negotiations, the
forthcoming '19 European parliamentary elections & Turkey. The populist
challenges EUR faces are clear. Despite the tentative improvement in EZ data & a
calmer trade environment, the forthcoming calendar may reduce the appetite for
establishing long EUR positions, delaying our forecast recovery. Meanwhile, the
Fed will stay steadfast in its commitment to interest rate normalisation. The
ECB is concerned about a potential tightening in monetary conditions. A broad
1.10-1.20 range may prevail for much of the remainder of '18. A nimble approach
to trading is required, as shifting risk perceptions will drive twists & turns.
Divergent policy moves with the US & perceived event risks encourage a
preference to sell rallies in the short term. 1.17 has acted as good resistance
over the summer. A sustained break below 1.14 is needed to open up the
downside."
