The safe-haven US Dollar and Japanese Yen edged northwards in the Asian session amid continued deadlock in US Congressional stimulus negotiations.<\/p>\n

Chinese stock markets surged higher, led by the Shanghai Composite Index, which jumped over 2% on optimism that Xi Jinping\u2019s will unveil plans to encourage foreign investment later in the week.<\/p>\n

The USD\/CNH is rebounding after tumbling to its lowest level in almost 18 months last week after the \u00a0People\u2019s Bank of China cut foreign exchange forward reserve requirements to 0 from 20%.
\nEuropean Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Governing Council member Isabel Schnabel are due to speak later.<\/p>\n

Weakening Fundamentals Pressuring ECB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weak inflation and fears over a resurgence of covid in several Eurozone countries could force the ECB to take further action to prop up the region economy as indicated by Chief Economist Philip Lane.<\/p>\n

The minutes from the latest ECB monetary policy meeting indicated that Philip Lane was not alone in his line of thought, particularly as \u201clonger-term inflation expectations had fallen to 1.6%, the lowest level since the start of Economic and Monetary Union [and] inflation pressures were expected to remain subdued on account of weak demand, lower wage pressures and the recent appreciation of the euro exchange rate\u201d.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, several members of the Governing Council made the case of remaining flexible given the high levels of uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Eurozone inflation is due to slip to -0.3% and core inflation to a record low of 0.2% in September, meaning the need for more accommodative monetary policy could grow in the near-term.<\/p>\n

Although some committee members are not as concerned suggesting that \u00a0\u201cthe flexibility of the pandemic emergency purchase programme suggested that the net purchase envelope should be considered a ceiling rather than a target \u201d,.<\/p>\n

Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann fervently opposes additional stimulus given the region\u2019s economy is recovering quicker than expected..<\/p>\n

Italy recorded its largest daily increase in Covid-19 cases since late March. A strong rise in \u00a0infections forced tightening of lockdown restriction in several \u00a0Spanish regions, which could hamper the economic recovery and force ECB to act sooner.which could drag on the Euro.<\/p>\n
