Currency Pair of the Week: EUR/USD
The pair started on a positive note thanks for Spain’s Harmonized CPI, which came in at +5.8 YoY vs 4.7% YoY expected and +5.5% YoY last. Today, Markets will get a look at CPI from France and Germany, ahead of the Eurozone January Preliminary CPI tomorrow. Expectations are for a print of the headline CPI to drop to 9% YoY from 9.2% YoY in December. The Core rate is expected to drop to 5.1% YoY from 5.2% YoY in December. Expectations are for 50bps rate hike, which would bring the key rate to 3.00%. Many members of the committee, including ECB President Christine Lagarde, have already indicated that a 50bps hike is a done deal. Anything different will disappoint the markets. But traders will be watching for signals that another 50 bps rate hike is in the cards for March.
Last week, the US released one of the Fed’s favorite measures of inflation, the Core PCE Price Index. The print was 4.4% YoY, as expected, vs a prior reading of 4.7% YoY. Today, the US will release another important gauge of inflation which the Fed relies heavily on: The Q4 Employment Cost Index. Expectations are for an increase of 1.1% vs a Q3 reading of 1.2%. How will these prints affect the FOMC when it meets tomorrow ? The markets are already pricing in a 99% chance of a 25bps hike, which would bring the Fed Funds rate to 4.75%.

The Bank Of England Preview
The Bank of England has a decision to make tomorrow. It is not “to hike or not to hie”. It is to hike by 25 or 50bps, that’s the question. As well as the rate decision itself, the BoE’s comments on the economic outlook and future tightening, as well as the vote split, will have a big impact on the pound. Barring a big sell-off in risk assets due to the Fed’s policy decision taking first, on Wednesday, the GBP/USD could be heading to 1.25 if the BoE does not deliver a dovish surprise.
An already-split Monetary Policy Committee is unlikely to be unanimous as they consider whether to step down a notch or keep going at the 50-basis-point pace. The markets are about 65% confident of a 50-bps hike to 4.0%, owing above all to high underlying inflation, stronger-than-expected wage growth and surprising resilience of the domestic and European economies.

FOMC Hikes Rates and Signals More to Come
As universally expected, the FOMC raised its target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps at the conclusion of its policy meeting today. But the tightening cycle likely is not over yet as the FOMC noted that it “anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate”.
The FOMC said that “inflation has eased somewhat’” which Chair Powell reiterated in his post-meeting press conference. But he also noted that the committee “has more work to do” in terms of monetary tightening to bring inflation back to the FOMC’s target of 2% on a sustained basis. Powell also stated that policy will need to be restrictive for some time.
We look for the FOMC to hike the fed funds target rate by 25 bps each at its next two policy meetings. That said, we do not have a high level of conviction regarding the exact amount of tightening that the Committee will need to deliver. The FOMC is in the fine-tuning stage of its tightening cycle, and future rate hikes will depend on incoming data in coming weeks and months.

The National Bureau of Statistics China released PMI data this week which shows both the manufacturing and services sector are expanding.
Appetite for risk has enjoyed a great to start to the year, mostly thanks to China reopening and abandoning their covid-zero policy. It was a key reason as to why the International Monetary Fund chose to not downgrade global growth forecasts for the first time in a year, and tentatively call for a ‘turning point’ in the global economy. And that is so far being backed up by data coming for China.
This week we have seen four headline PMI survey released covering manufacturing and services, three of which have beat expectations and expanded. If PMI’s are above 50 is denotes expansion and I favorable for growth prospects in the future. Admittedly manufacturing is the laggard as the NBS print only expanded by 50.1, yet both service PMI’s accelerated higher.

RBA Expected to Hike by 25bps
The RBA are expected to rise interest rates by 25 bp to 3.35% tomorrow, which would take rates to their highest level since September 2012. If so, it would be their fourth consecutive 25bp hike and ninth back-to-back hike this cycle – which is their most aggressive in history. Even so, their rates remain well below RBNZ’s 4.25% and Fed’s 4.75%, both of those central bank started hiking considerably sooner than the RBA, and continue to battle high levels of inflation.
Unemployment is 3.5% compared with the RBA’s 3.4% forecast in November, but this is not likely a large enough deviation for it to matter, and employment numbers are robust overall. Wage prices are on target at 3.1% q/q, but inflation is a fly in the ointment for the RBA.
According to a Reuters poll, 30 out of 31 economists expect a 25bp hike to 3.35% tomorrow, up from 23 out of 27 in January. 19 out of 30 see the cash rate peaking at 3.6%, but there is a greater chance of it eventually rising above 4% than the consensus currently estimates. US inflation peaked in July yet the Fed are still hiking, and inflation in Australia has not yet peaked. And whilst China’s reopening has brought with it cheers of a soft landing, it is also inflationary which could see CPI reaming higher and stickier than anticipated later this year. And whilst the employment situation remains robust and inflation remains high, it’s a green light for the RBA to continue hiking.
The Aussie took quite a battering on Thursday and Friday following the Fed’s meeting and strong NFP report, and fell -3.7% from its YTD high by Friday’s close. There’s been a mild attempt move lower today, but we’ve seen the meat of the downside move for now. And with the RBA tipped to hike tomorrow, this leaves the potential for AUD/USD to post a countertrend move ahead of the meeting – with its fate to then be decided by the level of RBA tightening.

25bp Hawkish Hike from the RBA
25bp Hawkish Hike from the RBA
The RBA hiked the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 3.35%
Underlying inflation was above expectations to 6.9%
Strong domestic demand is adding to the inflationary pressures
CPI is expected to decline this year due to global factors and slower growth in domestic demand
Medium-term inflation expectations remain well anchored, and it is important that this remains the case
The labor market remains very tight
Wages growth is expected to continue picking up due to the tight labor market and higher inflation
The board will continue to pay close attention to labor costs and the price-setting behavior of forms in the period ahead.
The RBA hikes the overnight cash rate by 25bp to 3.35% – its highest level since September 2012 – and warned of further increases in the months ahead. The two key words here are ‘increase’ and ‘months’ as it implies more than one hike over the coming months. And with rates at 3.35% it means the market pricing and consensus among economists for a terminal rate of 3.6% is not correct.
