ECB's Nowotny back on the wires 1 Sept

  • euro moves are within historical range

Cue EUR rally as Notwony, for one, seems unfazed with recent euro appreciation but beware algo knee-jerk.

  • exit from policy cant be about stepping on the brake
  • have to be careful how ECB normalizes policy
  • unemployment has fallen but still high
  • it's clear that low rate policy has side effects
  • EZ economy is on growth course

These other comments are little less hawkish though but does suggest that discussion is on the table for next week.

EURUSD 1,1910 again from a spike to 1.1930 and EURGBP 0.9213 after 0.9223 in a rush.

Gotta love those algos for some great opportunities sometimes eh?

Large option expiries on play today.
