Eurozone inflation supports ecb pricing
"EUR/USD rallied towards 1.17, with EUR being the prime beneficiary of USD weakness."
"Eurozone’s July CPI came in line with expectations yesterday, with both headline and core inflation matched consensus of 2.9% y/y and 2.5% y/y respectively."
"This has entrenched expectations of an ECB rate hike for Sep, with markets pricing in a 26bps hike with over 90% probability."
"On the other hand, the Fed’s next rate move is less clear given recent economic data softness, and upcoming mid-term elections in November."
