Busy Data Schedule Headlined By Mexico Q3 GDP, BanRep Decision

LATAM
  • A busy start to the session in LatAm with Mexico third quarter GDP headlining the data calendar. Additionally, we will receive Brazil unemployment rate and various activity data in Chile, including copper production and retails sales figures for September. Colombia will publish unemployment rate data before the BanRep policy decision later in the session, where all analysts are expecting the central bank to maintain rates at 13.25%.
  • JAPAN: With markets geared for a potential formal tweak to yield curve control from the Bank of Japan, asset markets were disappointed by no headline change to policy, and merely a more flexible approach to policy-setting. Resultingly, markets have interpreted the decision dovishly, tipping JPY lower against all others in G10. USD/JPY is rallying back toward the cycle highs at 150.78, while EUR/JPY makes a clear break to cycle highs.
  • EUR: Euro area headline inflation tumbled in October, falling more than expected by analysts to within a percentage point of the European Central Bank's price target, according to Eurostat. Headline inflation was 0.1% month on month and the annual rate fell to 2.9% from the previous 4.3%, the lowest since July 2021. Core inflation also fell, albeit at a more modest pace, coming in at 4.2%, down from 4.5% in September.
  • USD: Despite the USDJPY strength, the USD index sits 0.15% in the red with equities maintaining their firmer footing from Monday. Focus ahead turns to the MNI Chicago PMI and US consumer confidence, the highlights on the data docket.
