OctaFX_Farid Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Morgan Stanley: Greece deal or not, EUR is going down – eFXnews FXStreet (Barcelona) - Morgan Stanley sticks to their bearish view on the EUR, explaining the possible price action in the single currency from a Greece deal or a Grexit scenario, as noted by eFXnews. Key Quotes “Should Greece sign a deal, a short-term EUR rebound should be followed by EUR weakness as investors are likely to move back into EUR-funded carry positions," "Should Greece exit, the ECB may have to use its tool kit to keep sovereign spreads under control. Monetary easing should put the EUR under selling pressure. Ultimately, the ECB should be successful in controlling spreads, we believe," "A Grexit represents a fundamental shift for EMU with the loss of ‘irrevocability’ potentially turning the union into a club of fixed exchanges rates with the possibility to leave. Peripheral assets will have to trade at a risk premium, unless EMU authorities deepen integration via further banking union and fiscal integration steps. The ECB controlling sovereign spreads successfully could turn into a long-term EUR negative factor as it may not provide the necessary ‘wake-up call’ to European politicians to make the necessary reforms to avoid future market tension” This content has been provided under specific arrangement with eFXnews.

OctaFX_Farid Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Last one for the BoC? – ING FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Analyst at ING Bank James Knightley has reviewed the recent decision by the BoC to cut its refi rate to 0.5%. Key Quotes “The Bank of Canada has cut its overnight lending rate target to 0.5% from 0.75%. The market was split on whether or not the BoC would move, but the surprise January 21st rate cut had given us a warning that they tend to be one of the more active central banks”. “The weaker than expected US and China activity story was cited as a factor behind their decision, which also saw them revise down their 2015 Canadian GDP growth forecast to 1.1% from the 1.9% figure they were expecting in April. The market for Canadian commodities has also deteriorated, which is hurting earnings, investment and jobs – remember that Canada is the World’s fifth largest producer of both oil and gas. The weaker growth story means that excess capacity in the economy will dampen inflation pressures, thereby offering the BoC the room to offer more stimulus to the economy”. “Outside of the energy sector the BoC admit the situation isn’t as bad with a strengthening jobs market supporting confidence and loose financial conditions also helping the growth outlook for the second half of the year. Moreover, they expect the economy to grow 2.5% in 2016 with inflation gradually returning to target. Consequently, we don’t expect any additional policy stimulus from the BoC with the positive US Fed rates outlook set to push USD/CAD higher and help to make the Canadian economy more competitive on the international stage while also adding a little upside impetus to inflation”.
