Institutional Perspective

01

Goldman Sachs

【Goldman Sachs: Australia's 'doomsday prophecies' overstated】

July 27-- Goldman Sachs said it still thinks doomsday predictions of a recession in Australia are wrong, and believes the commodity-rich economy is on track for a soft landing. Goldman Sachs chief economist Andrew Boak said the weaker second-quarter CPI data was particularly encouraging in this regard. Nonetheless, there is still a possibility that the Australian Federal Reserve will need to raise interest rates from now on, although inevitably this is a close call and the situation will be further complicated by the fact that the Fed's response mechanism is still quite opaque, even if a final decision has been made on the selection of the next Fed chairman.

02

SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale: The ECB is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, and while it may be too early to provide firm guidance for further rate hikes in September, it is expected to raise rates for the last time in September as upside risks to inflation remain.

03

MUFG

【MUFG: The ECB has been very comfortable with the restrictive nature of interest rates】

July 27--MUFG in London senior foreign exchange analyst Hardman said: this statement shows that the European Central Bank is now more comfortable with the policy rate has reached a restrictive level. Previously they said they would move rates to a more restrictive level, and now they say they will set them at a sufficiently restrictive level. So the focus of policy going forward will be less on raising rates and more on keeping them higher for longer. For the markets, this may indicate that the ECB has indicated that the rate hike cycle is coming to an end, which triggered a sell-off in the euro.
