Fundamental view
Eurozone
Spains statistics agency (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica) reported that the countrys industrial production expanded at an annualized 0.6% in August, following an upward-revised 0.9% growth in the previous month. Analysts had expected Spains industrial output to have grown by 1.4%.
Yesterday, Destatis reported that Germany’s industrial production contracted by 4% in August, the most since 2009, in the latest sign of deteriorating economic conditions in the leading EU economy, and the Eurozone as a whole. This comes after a downward-revised 1.6% expansion in July, while analysts had projected a moderate 1.5% decline in industrial output.
Poland rate decision
The National Bank of Poland (Narodowy Bank Polski) Monetary Policy Committee will decide on the countrys benchmark interest rate, due at 12:10 GMT. According to analysts preliminary estimates, the central bank is set to lower borrowing costs to 2.25% from 2.5%, the first cut since June 2013. Generally speaking, a higher-than-expected reading is seen as positive for the national currency, and vice versa.
