Euro zone finance ministers are likely to agree on Monday to back Spanish Economy
Minister Luis de Guindos to succeed European Central Bank Vice President Vitor
Constancio in May, a move likely to boost the chances of a German becoming the
head of the ECB next year. The discussion among the finance ministers of the 19
euro zone countries is informal, with a vote scheduled when they will have to decide
between the Spaniard and Ireland’s central bank governor Philip Lane. A senior euro
zone official involved in the preparation of the meeting has said the preferred
scenario was that there would be no vote but one person would be chosen by
consensus. If there were to be a vote, the successful candidate would have to get 14
out of the 19 votes and these would have to represent 65 percent of the euro zone
population. The European Parliament’s economic committee, which has only a
consultative role, said after an informal hearing of both candidates last week that
Lane was a better choice, but euro zone officials said de Guindos was the favorite.
Lane was more likely to get the job of ECB chief economist after Peter Praet when
the post becomes vacant next year, they said. The choice of a southerner like de
Guindos for vice president increases the chances that a northerner like German
central bank governor Jens Weidmann could be elected to replace Mario Draghi as
the ECB head in 2019.

British households’ gloom about their finances deepened this month, and most
now expect borrowing costs to rise again within six months after the Bank of
England raised interest rates in November, a survey showed. Data company
IHS Markit said its Household Finance Index, a monthly gauge of financial well-
being, fell to a seven-month low of 42.2 from 42.9 in January. Conducted over
six days starting on Feb. 8, the day the BoE said it was likely to raise rates
sooner and by more than it previously thought, the survey showed 60 percent
of households expected a hike within six months, up from 45 percent in
January. Britain’s economy slowed in 2017 as higher inflation - fueled by the
post-Brexit referendum fall in the pound - hurt the spending power of
consumers. The BoE has said it expects the squeeze will ease in 2018 as
inflation cools and weak wage growth ticks higher. But report showed
households are not feeling optimistic. “The latest survey adds to evidence that
UK households have seen an erosion of their financial wellbeing so far this year,
with stubbornly high inflation the main factor placing pressure on consumer
budgets,” Tim Moore, associate director at IHS Markit, said. Households
reported only a weak rise in income from employment in January, a possible
concern for the BoE which predicts an acceleration of wage growth in 2018.

Japan’s top government spokesman warned that stable currency market moves
were “extremely important”, signaling concern over recent yen gains that could
cool a strengthening economic recovery. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide
Suga said G7 and G20 major economies have agreed that excess volatility and
disorderly currency moves could hurt economies. “There’s no change to our
view the global economy is growing steadily,” Suga told a news conference.
“Currency market stability is extremely important. The government will closely
watch currency market moves with a sense of urgency,” he said. A strong yen
erodes profits at Japanese manufacturers and could hurt an otherwise buoyant
economy, which produced an eight straight quarter of growth in October-
December.

Rupee weakened after minutes of the central bank’s February monetary policy meetings showed increased
concern among members on the accelerating inflation. The MPC members expressed concern about
continued inflationary risks, citing factors including high food and global crude prices and the government’s
decision to increase spending for the year starting in April to support a struggling agricultural sector.
Members of the Reserve Bank of India led Monetary Policy Committee hiked their caution on upside risks to
inflation with the persistently dovish, Ravindra Dholakia sounding worried over rising oil prices, minutes of
the central bank's February meeting showed. RBI-MPC members had voted to keep the repo rate and
monetary policy stance unchanged at the meeting on February 6 and 7. The central bank Governor, Urjit
Patel highlighted various upside risks to inflation in India. Patel also flagged risks that could induce volatility
in the domestic financial markets. Fed's January meeting minutes showed that the US central bank still
expects to hike rates three times this year starting in March. The Fed raised its inflation projections as it
expects the core personal consumption expenditure index to "rise notably faster this year" from its 1.5%
rate projection in December. “A majority of participants noted that a stronger outlook for economic growth
raised the likelihood that further gradual policy firming policy would be appropriate,” the minutes said.
Technically now USDINR is getting support at 65.0625 and below same could see a test of 64.9425 level,
And resistance is now likely to be seen at 65.22, a move above could see prices testing 65.2575.

KEuro traded in range as the dollar extended its recovery as the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest
meeting sent the dollar to a bullish trend in general backed by a positive outlook of the U.S. economy and
a faster pace for interest rate hikes in March. “A majority of participants noted that a stronger outlook for
economic growth raised the likelihood that further gradual policy firming policy would be appropriate,” the
minutes said. This year will also likely meet the 2 percent inflation target, Fed officials noted. Eurozone
private sector growth continued to be strong in February, albeit with the rate of expansion cooling from the
near 12-year high seen in January, flash data from IHS Markit showed. The composite output index
dropped more-than-expected to 57.5 from 58.8 in the previous month. The score was forecast to fall to
58.4. The goods-producing sector continued to record a faster pace of expansion than the service sector in
February. The services Purchasing Managers' Index eased to 56.7 from 58.0 in January and also below the
forecast of 57.6. Germany's private sector expanded strongly in February but the pace of growth slowed
from a near seven-year high seen in January, flash data from IHS Markit showed. The composite output
index dropped unexpectedly to a 3-month low of 57.4 from 59.0 in January. Technically now EURINR is
getting support at 79.8025 and below same could see a test of 79.66 level, And resistance is now likely to

KGBP gains after Bank of England policymakers struck a hawkish tone on inflation and interest rates in
testimony to parliament. Data showed an unexpected tick-up in the jobless rate, and by news that more
than 60 Conservative lawmakers had written to the prime minister demanding a quick, clean break from
the European Union. BoE policymaker Andy Haldane said there was a chance rates would need to rise
faster than the central bank’s central view, and Governor Mark Carney said wage pressures were firming.
In an annual report to parliament, Andy Haldane said the risks to the BoE’s latest projections, for both UK
demand and inflation, were to the upside, and that both the global economy and Britain could well do
better than the BoE’s most recent forecasts. Meanwhile, BoE Governor Mark Carney, appearing alongside
Haldane and Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent, said there was no need to give a direct commitment on
rates because markets, which have largely priced in an interest rate hike in May, had broadly understood
the BoE’s message. Average earnings growth - a key metric in the BoE’s deliberations over when and how
quickly to raise interest rates - was unchanged over the whole period but jumped in December, the Office
for National Statistics said. The group of eurosceptic parliamentarians within May’s own party demanded a
tougher approach in a number of areas, including Britain’s right to move away from EU rules after leaving
and the terms of any transition period, raising pressure on the prime minister to take a “hard Brexit”
stance. Technically now GBPINR is getting support at 90.2425 and below same could see a test of 90.0625
level, And resistance is now likely to be seen at 90.58, a move above could see prices testing 90.7375.

KJPYINR settled up 0.48% at 60.64 as speculation of a faster pace of U.S. rate hikes soured investors’ risk
appetites and dented equities. A more upbeat take on inflation in the minutes of the Fed’s Jan. 30-31
policy meeting bolstered expectations for rate hikes. The Bank of Japan should consider buying foreign
bonds as part of efforts to reflate the economy during Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s second term at the
central bank helm, an economic adviser to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said. The BOJ is prohibited by law
from buying foreign bonds for the explicit purpose of influencing currency rates, as exchange rate policy
falls under the jurisdiction of the finance ministry. But some academics have proposed that the BOJ could
buy them if doing so was aimed at pump-priming the economy, an idea the central bank has dismissed so
far because it would be hard to convince Tokyo’s G20 counterparts that Japan wasn’t trying to affect the
yen’s value. “Under the BOJ law, the finance ministry holds jurisdiction over currency policy. But I hope
Kuroda would consider having the BOJ buy foreign bonds,” Koichi Hamada, an emeritus professor of
economics at Yale University, told in an interview. Hamada said while the central bank cannot buy bonds
for the sake of affecting exchange rates, it could do so “as a means for delivering proper monetary policy
for Japan.” Technically now JPYINR is getting support at 60.5275 and below same could see a test of
