EcoWeekBNP PARIBAS
Fed chairman Jerome Powell made important comments during his press conference. Fiscal policy is on an unsustainable path and lasting widespread tariffs would be bad for the US and the world. Monetary policy remains accommodative and data-dependent. Markets liked the dovish bias in the message.

Week Ahead: “Powell-put” is far out of the money Nordea
Vigorous inflation pressure is on its way in the Euro area, at least according to Mr Draghi. Jerome Powell on the other hand kept 10yr treasury yields from breaking 3.11%, while he continues to warn that the Fed put is deeply out of the money.

US: Payrolls are likely to show healthy gains along with another uptick in wage growth * Europe: Italian budget projections will continue to be a theme for financial markets as well as the reaction from the EU commission and rating agencies * UK: Conservative Party Conference beginning on Sunday and lasting until Wednesday will be critical for the outlook of Brexit negotiations with the EU * Asia: Downside risks to China’s PMI for September in light of the trade war with the US, while Japan may see a small rebound in business confidence. Sweden:  government formation talks will be watched along with the PMI survey, which should post a modest rebound.

Fed and Italy Lift Dollar Tone

Weekly Macro CommentMarc Chandler
Four events stand out in the first week of October:  the situation in Italy, UK Prime Minister May's speech at the Tory Party Conference, the EMU PMI, and the US jobs data

FX WeeklyNordea
A stronger USD, while EUR/CHF is trading higher. To us, that is a sign that it’s not Italy that has driven EUR/USD lower, rather it is the year-end once again showing its “ugly face”. The USD year-end effect is another reason to be long NOK/SEK.
