Mid-Day Report: Euro Retreats as Ireland Cut Growth Forecasts, Concern on Wider Deficit

Euro retreats sharply today after Irish Central Bank cut its economic growth forecast for this year from 0.8% to 0.2% while that of next year was lowered from 2.8% to 2.4%. The central bank said in a statement urged the government to have a 2011 budget that “credibly demonstrates the first step of a reprogrammed tighter fiscal plan," and that's the "main priority". The echoed Financial Times report that Ireland's budget deficit will be higher than expected this year and prompted concern of even worse outlook ahead. In additional, Nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz said that the euro is a currency experiment "that may now be faltering." He also warned that economic woes of PIIGS countries could trigger a break-up of the euro.

BOJ to Accelerate Pace of Easing

Weak macroeconomic data and persistent deflationary risk suggest that the BOJ will likely implement more easing measures at its October meeting. Unilateral intervention of Japanese yen proved unsuccessful in curbing appreciation and policymakers should realize accompaniment of other stimulus is needed to generate desired effects. Of the various easing options the central bank may consider, we expect it will most likely announce extension of its fixed-interest funding facilities to 12 months. The size of the operations will also be expanded. The policy rate will remain unchanged at 0.1%.

RBA Poised to Rate Hike Tomorrow

The market has priced in a 64% chance that the RBA will raise the policy rate by +25 bps to 4.75% at tomorrow's meeting. While recent economic data released in Australia softened a bit, hawkish comments from Governor Glen Stevens fueled expectations that the central bank will resume tightening in October. We have a 50/50 view for a rate hike this month. We retain our view that the RBA will have one more rate hike in 4Q10. If this comes in October, We believe it will be the last rate hike this year.
