- The European Central Bank (ECB) published the minutes of its September monetary policy meeting, in which it increased interest rates by 75 basis points. According to the minutes, it was stated that the depreciation of the Euro could increase the inflationary pressure for the Euro Area. While many members supported the rate hike by 75 basis points, some members stated that they preferred to increase their rates by 50 basis points. On the other hand, it was stated that the expected weakening in economic activity will not be enough to reduce inflation significantly, and that a very aggressive monetary policy response may make the recession even worse in the short term, although it will provide little benefit for inflation. EUR/USD fell slightly on the initial reaction.
- When we look at the economic data released today on the Euro front, Factory Orders in Germany fell 2.4% in August, the most since April. (Expected: -0.7% Previous: -1.1%). Eurozone retail sales, on the other hand, decreased by -2.05 (yoy) in August compared to the same month of the previous year.
- On the US front, the Dollar index is trying to maintain its recovery trend after the optimistic ADP private sector employment data and ISM Services PMI report on Wednesday. The index has recovered above the 111.50 band. After these reports, the probability of the Fed’s rate hike by 75 basis points at its November meeting was priced at 70%.
- The weekly unemployment benefits applications announced today were below expectations. Contrary to the expectation of 203 thousand, applications for unemployment benefits increased by 219 thousand. The Non-Farm Employment report, which will be announced tomorrow, will be important.
- On the other hand, the risk-averse market environment amid escalating geopolitical tensions helped the dollar erase some of its losses against its main rivals earlier in the week.

NG# – Extended Its Earnings Above $7.00 Band…
Natural gas price, which fell to the lowest region of 11 weeks with $ 6.30 at the beginning of the week, has recovered above the $ 7.00 band with the purchases made from this region. From a technical point of view, we see that the natural gas price has developed a reaction from the critical support zone. The $6.30 band was important as it coincided with the 55-week exponential moving average and the black ascending trendline. In case of possible pullbacks, this region will continue to be followed as the main support area. Before this region, it can be viewed as an intermediate support band of $6.77. On the upside, $7.13 and $7.55, the highs seen last week, can be followed as initial resistance zones.
