Germanys seasonally adjusted industrial production month-on-month rate for July and the UKs seasonally adjusted Halifax house price index month-on-month rate for August will be released in ten minutes.French Finance Minister Lescourt: Concerned about the far-right Alternative for Germany (AFD) partys victory in the German state elections.On September 7th, Deutsche Bank now expects the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise interest rates by another 25 basis points in December, following the September rate hike, as ongoing energy risks weigh on the inflation outlook. The banks research division previously predicted that the deposit facility rate would peak at 2.5% (currently at 2.25%), but now believes these assumptions are being challenged. Despite the ongoing conflict in Iran posing an upside risk to inflation, the Eurozone labor market remains relatively weak, with little evidence to date that broader price pressures are driving wage growth. While the bank currently sees 2.75% as a more likely terminal interest rate level, it notes that a faster easing of geopolitical tensions and weaker growth could keep the rate cap at 2.5%, and a move above 3% lacks justification without broader inflationary pressures. The ECB is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision on September 10th, with a rate hike widely expected.Deutsche Bank: The European Central Bank is expected to continue raising interest rates until December.On September 7th, Mirae Asset Securities analyst Kim Young-gun stated that Samsung Electronics expansion in HBM shipments for AI applications is expected to offset the impact of a slowdown in general-purpose memory chip growth next year.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
