At 16:45 UTC+4 ECB Rate Announcement is scheduled. We do not exclude that the key rate will be preserved, but some quantitative easing programme will be announced. i.e. LTRO-3. At 17:30 UTC+4 European Central Bank President Mario Draghi speaks. If the ECB does not take any decision during today’s meeting, we have to wait harsh and aggressive speech against the strength of the euro, particularly against deflation. Thus, direct statement about the cut of the rate in December might be made.

The signs of positive investors’ outlook is increase of the forecast from 1.8% to 2.0% (vs. 2.5% in the second quarter), i.e. calmness of the Fed about the termination of budget financing in October stimulates the purchases of the US dollar.

USD/JPY.
Yesterday the yen grew 17 points, amid strong data on six major car producers; the total profit grew 50%. In particular, the Subaru sales increased by 25%, Suzuki rose by 12%. However, today Nikkei225 is declining by 0.5% (by 7:00 UTC+4) and constrains the growth of the yen. The situation may be changed by means of strong data on US GDP. If the data is in line with the forecasts we expect the rise of the yen to the area of high from October 16-17, 98.95. If data is not in line with the forecasts, we may observe a decline to the area 97.55/80.
