Eurozone’s growth and inflation rates due out today

In Europe, market participants may be eagerly awaiting the release of the Eurozone’s Preliminary CPI rates and the bloc’s Preliminary GDP rate which are due to be released during today’s European session. Furthermore, Germany’s Preliminary HICP rates came in lower than expected during yesterday’s trading session, potentially indicative of easing inflationary pressures in one of the largest economies in the Eurozone. The lower-than-expected HICP rates, could potentially weaken the bank’s resolve in hiking further and as such could weigh on the EUR over the long run. Over in Asia, the BOJ maintained its current interest levels at -0.10% , as was widely expected. However, BOJ Governor Ueda, re-iterated the bank’s commitment to maintaining its ultra loose monetary policy and went as far as saying that the bank may not hesitate to take additional easing measures if necessary. Furthermore, the bank also stated that it would be allowing yields on the Japanese’ 10-Year government bond to rise above 1%. In China, the country’s PMI figures came in lower than expected, with the manufacturing industry contracting. The PMI figures for October may be concerning for the Chinese economy and as such, could also impact the Australian economy which is heavily reliant on the Chinese economy to import their goods. According to Bloomberg, Saudi Arabian forces clashed with Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which could further fuel the current instability in the region, as the potential for another armed confrontation rises. Pressure on oil prices appearing to be easing, as tensions between Israel and its neighbours appear to be easing slightly.
