Commentary by Justin Lodewyk
In his press conference yesterday, Mario Draghi refused to acknowledge Friday’s rumour of the ECB discussing a hike at its last meeting. Draghi had previously mentioned that EU inflation is starting to accelerate and this could lead to the end of the current stimulus package. Elsewhere, strong Chinese production figures released this morning should bode well for global growth. The positive data should also see a recovery of commodity prices which could provide some relief to commodity based currencies. On the calendar today; SA mining and manufacturing figures and the German ZEW economic sentiment out later this afternoon. |
