In its semi-annual Financial Stability Review, the ECB stated on Wednesday that despite recent market adjustments, asset prices remain "high" compared to historical levels. The report noted that downside risks at the geopolitical, fiscal, and macro-financial levels appear to be "underestimated" by the market. ECB Vice President Guindos stated, "This makes the market susceptible to sharp repricing. Once financial markets experience volatility, non-bank financial institutions could amplify this shock." The ECB emphasized that the Eurozone sovereign bond market is currently operating "orderly" with narrow spreads, but warned that the rising proportion of price-sensitive investors such as hedge funds, and fiscal sustainability issues in some countries, including the United States, could trigger or amplify sudden repricing of risky assets. These risks mean that controlling fiscal spending is becoming increasingly important. The ECB also warned of financial stability risks in the private lending market.South Koreas Ministry of Foreign Affairs: It will summon the Iranian ambassador to share the findings of its investigation.ECB Vice President Guindos: We have been telling banks to increase their investment in cybersecurity to address the risks of artificial intelligence.

Despite the fact that Eurozone interest rates are anticipated to peak sooner, the EUR/GBP looks to have breached over 0.8630

The EUR/GBP pair has had a stronger recovery from 0.8580 during the Asian session, approaching the pivotal 0.8630 level. Despite the European Central Bank (ECB) being close to reaching an interest rate high, there has been strong demand for Euro bulls. Thus, the monetary policy meeting scheduled for next week will be of utmost significance.

 

The cross is attempting to break strongly above the significant barrier of 0.8630 for the fourth time this week. The hawkish remarks made by ECB policymakers are holding back the euro bulls.

 

"There will be another rate hike," said Constantinos Herodotou, governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, "but we are very near to neutral." The European Central Bank's chief economist, Phillip Lane, is unsure as to whether the inflation peak has already occurred or will take place in 2019. He stated that although "much has already been done," he does not rule out more rate increases.

 

Investors are currently looking forward to Christine Lagarde's speech, which will be revealed on Thursday. The ECB President is likely to lower her inflation projection in her future statement in light of the poor retail sales numbers.

 

In contrast to expectations for a 1.7% loss, this week's Eurozone retail sales numbers showed a 1.8% decline. Aside from that, annual economic data contraction came in at 2.7% as opposed to the 2.6% consensus expectation. A decline in household demand demonstrates the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy tightening initiatives. To reach their sales targets, firms could feel pressured to lower the prices of their products and services.

 

The United Kingdom's deteriorating food crisis, brought on by growing costs and a labor shortfall, has had an impact on the Pound Sterling. According to Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, "the government and the entire supply chain must act swiftly." The Financial Times stated that "tomorrow might be too late." The economy already faces rising food inflation, and the issue with the supply of food will make matters worse.
