Key Quotes

“The comments of several FOMC members after the latest market turmoil suggest that a rate move by the Fed in September has become unlikely".

“In this context, the US data next week is also of substantial interest, especially the US labour market report. Should the data underline a robust economy and a strong labour market, the chances are high that interest rate expectations and thus also the USD will stabilise or even recover further”.
