17. Charts we are watching
• The ECB statement was more hawkish that expected.
Now, the market seems to believe that, unless there’s a
significant fall in sentiment, the ECB is unlikely to cut the
refi rate in the near-term. Moreover, 10-year sovereign
bond yields on the Euro periphery continue to fall. Both
factors have supported the Euro/USD exchange rate that
reached 1.3343 at the end of last week. But, with the
euro area economy expected to remain weak at the
beginning of 2013, a higher Euro/USD will not provide
much help to the gradual recovery that is expected later
in the year. Source: Bloomberg
