EU MORNING CALL - 15/10/12
- Safe haven flows were seen overnight into the USD as uncertainty over the near-term picture in Spain and Greece continue to weigh, promoting EUR/USD to consolidate around the 1.2900 level.
Elsewhere, the AUD weakened after comments over the weekend from RBA’s Stevens that the Australian central bank has maximum flexibility to reduce the key rate if needed as Australia returns to a surplus; increasing speculation that there will be a rate cut at the RBA’s November meeting.
- Although there was a slew of tier 1 economic data out of China overnight none proved to be particularly market moving with CPI in-line with expectations at 1.9%, trade balance showed a bigger surplus than expected, with a strong export number, being assisted by seasonal factors such as Christmas and New Year holidays. Participants are now awaiting the key GDP data due this Thursday.
- China has "relatively large space" to use monetary and fiscal policy to support its economy as needed, PBOC’s Deputy Gov. Yi Gang.
- Troika has concluded Greece needs two more years to complete its reforms, which would increase the bill for creditors by some EUR 30bln, citing sources. This gap could only be filled if public institutions, such as the ECB, took a hit on some of the Greek debt it holds or a third bailout package is agreed.
- According to Eurozone sources, Spain could ask for financial aid from the Eurozone next month and if it does the request would likely be dealt with alongside a revised loan programme for Greece and a bailout for Cyprus in one big package.
