- The euro held onto gains against the dollar on Thursday as traders braced for a European Central Bank meeting to gauge policymakers' views on the common currency's recent appreciation and its impact on inflation. Sterling steadied above a six-week low but could face more losses due to growing concern that Britain and the European Union will fail to agree a trade deal. While markets expect the ECB to keep policy steady, investors will closely watch President Christine Lagarde's comments on how the euro's rise to a two-year high this month affects the outlook for inflation and economic growth. Sentiment for cable has taken a hit after Britain unveiled draft legislation that analysts say raises the possibility of it exiting the EU single market in four months time with no trade agreement in place. The euro got a boost on Wednesday after Bloomberg News reported that ECB officials are growing more confident in the bloc's economic outlook. However, traders may be reluctant to buy the common currency further before the ECB meeting due to earlier media reports that officials are growing uncomfortable with the euro's almost 6% appreciation against the dollar from its June low. The ECB's views are also in the spotlight after euro-zone consumer prices turned negative in August for the first time since 2016, and the U.S. Federal Reserve switched to focusing on average inflation. With no major economic data scheduled during Asian trading, market moves could be subdued as investors wait for potential ECB catalysts. Traders in the dollar are closely watching global equities to see if a rebound in U.S. tech shares from a rapid sell-off will support riskier assets in other markets.
- The dollar was down on Thursday morning in Asia, ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting taking place later in the day. The euro held onto gains against the greenback ahead of the meeting, with the meeting’s agenda expected to focus on policymakers’ views on the euro’s recent appreciation and its impact on inflation. Although ECB is widely expected to keep its policies unchanged, investors are looking to President Christine Lagarde’s comments on the subject to gauge the outlook for inflation and economic growth. Although the euro saw an uptick on the back of reports that ECB officials continue to be confident of the E.U.’s economic outlook, concerns over the single currency's almost 6% appreciation against the dollar from its June low could see the rate slow down. The GBP/USD pair inched down 0.05% to 1.2994. The U.K. on Wednesday unveiled draft legislation that increased the possibility of a no-deal Brexit in four months' time. The mounting concerns could spell more losses for the pound, which steadied above the six-week low reached during the previous session.
