Asia monthly: Worse before getting betterNordea
As we have argued, the market is re-pricing the Fed and the USD has strengthened. We expect it to continue for some time. For this reason, we expect general Asian FX to weaken vs the USD in the coming three months. We also expect the CNY to be among the currencies weakening most, due to domestic reasons. This could give a second-round downward pressure to Asian FX. From early next year, most EM FX are expected to find support from the recovering oil prices but any appreciation will be gradual.

Meanwhile Apple is braced for official confirmation that the EU will hit it with a bill for over one billion euros of back taxes that it claims a sweetheart deal with the Irish tax authorities allowed it avoid.

FX UpdateTF
USD bulls must note the lack of further downside momentum in asset markets after Friday’s Yellen speech even if the USD remains relatively firm and Fed funds continue to price in higher rate hike odds. Today Fed vice chair Stanley Fischer is out speaking again.

From the FloorTF
A broadly positive Asian session coupled with strong German import price data has risky assets enjoying stronger sentiment this morning while the USD rally now rests on rate hike hopes alone.
