EURO-DOLLAR: ANZ suggest that "the ECB meeting later today takes on added market
significance in the wake of extended PMI weakness, Italian budget concerns and a
lack of agreement on Brexit. If hard economic data for late Q3/early Q4 follow
the surveyed indicators down, slowing growth could well have the effect of
reducing the ECB's confidence that inflation will return to target in line with
its current forecast profile. We expect the ECB will maintain its current
guidance that QE will end later this year. However, that guidance is data
dependent and core inflation has shown no signs of accelerating. The expected
timing of rate rises could be extended. The euro remains under pressure from the
confluence of negative events and anxiety over the global trade backdrop. Any
dovish tilt from the ECB would send it lower. A break of this year's EUR/USD low
around 1.13 would open up the downside."
