- EUR/USD gains further to near 1.1200 in European trading hours as the Euro (EUR) performs strongly against its major peers despite growing concerns over Eurozone economic growth. Flash HCOB Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global and Hamburg Commercial Bank (HCOB) and released on Monday, unexpectedly contracted to 48.9 in September, the lowest level since January.
- The major decline in overall business activity came from a deeper contraction in activities in the manufacturing sector in the Eurozone’s major economies. German HCOB Manufacturing PMI came in at its lowest since September 2023 at 40.3, extending its contraction for 27 months in a row. Meanwhile, the French HCOB Composite PMI also returned to the contraction phase after expanding in August due to the one-off Olympic event.
- Going forward, the Euro will be guided by market expectations for European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate cut prospects for the rest of the year. The ECB is expected to deliver one interest rate cut in any of its two meetings remaining this year.
