COMMENTARY

• Euro Steady at 1.3500
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/18/2011 3:20:16 AM ET
  German Producer Prices printed a bit hotter than expected at 0.2% versus 0.1% eyed. On the year German PPI rose 5.3% in October after rising 5.5% the month prior due mainly to higher energy costs. The rise in energy prices was responsible for the vast bulk of PPI increase. Ex-energy producer prices actually fell -0.1% and increased 2.8% on the year.

After falling to 1.3422 in early Asian session trade the EUR/USd recovered to take out the 1.3500 figure ahead of the North American open.

• BOE Downgrades UK Growth but Provides no Guidance on QE
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/16/2011 6:01:15 AM ET
  Reported buying of Italian, Spanish and Portuguese debt by the ECB helped to ease tensions in the EZ credit markets today and lifted the EUR/USD back above the key 1.3500 level in early European trade. The yield on the benchmark 10 year Italian bonds dropped below the critical 7% level helping risk FX to recover after high beta currencies hit their lowest level in more than a month during a sloppy stop filled Asian session earlier in the day.

• Euro Rebounds But Debt Crisis Concerns Persist
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/16/2011 4:16:50 AM ET
  A sharp short covering rally lifted the EUR/USD off its Asian session lows as the pair recovered the key 1.3500 level in early morning London trade on the back of speculation that China may be ready to provide some capital support to the region. Earlier, the euro slid to fresh 1 month lows at 1.3430 as a cascade of stops sent the pair tumbling in during the Asian session dealing.

• Once Again Credit Spreads Weigh on The Euro
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/15/2011 5:18:08 AM ET
  Risk FX continued to slide lower in early European trade as bonds spreads widened to record highs signaling that the credit market markets in the region remain in a state of stress. The spread between Italian and German bunds reached a euro level high of 600bp while the differential between French and German bonds expanded to 173bp. France is now at risk of becoming the next target of bond vigilantes and the continuing deterioration in the EZ credit markets suggests that authorities are unable to pacify the markets with their current efforts.

• Euro Gets a Mild Lift From German GDP
  Written by Boris Schlossberg
  Last updated 11/15/2011 2:44:15 AM ET
  German GDP for Q3 rose by 0.5% in line with forecasts while data for Q2 of this year was upwardly revised to 0.3% from 0.1% originally reported. Strong labor market performance has finally had a positive impact on consumption helping to lift growth in Q3. Production activity picked up markedly in the July through September period helping to fuel expansion in Q3 but the contribution of trade and investment were somewhat muted as imports offset exports and increases in equipment investment were counterbalanced by declines in construction.
