Bank of England maintains Bank Rate at 0.5% and the size of the Asset Purchase Programme at £375 billion

The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets monetary policy in order to meet the 2% inflation target and in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment. At its meeting ending on 5 August 2015, the MPC voted by a majority of 8-1 to maintain Bank Rate at 0.5%. The Committee voted unanimously to maintain the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves at £375 billion, and so to reinvest the £16.9 billion of cash flows associated with the redemption of the September 2015 gilt held in the Asset Purchase Facility - Bank of England.

Robust private domestic demand is expected to produce sufficient momentum to eliminate the margin of spare capacity over the next year or so, despite the continuing fiscal consolidation and modest global growth. This is judged likely to generate the rise in domestic costs expected to be necessary to return inflation to the target in the medium term - Bank of England.

There had been a range of influences on international financial markets over the month, including: reactions to news on the progress of negotiations between the Greek government and its creditors; falls in global commodity prices; and large moves in Chinese equity prices. There had been some associated volatility in UK equity markets within the month - Bank of England.

Following the news GBPUSD plunged to a low of 1.5465 yesterday and is currently trading at 1.5517 in the European trading session.

"It would have been imprudent to push through a rate rise at this moment when our economic recovery remains in need of care and encouragement" - John Longworth, British Chambers of Commerce.

"Rates will eventually have to rise and when they do, it should be done slowly and steadily. Until that moment, the Bank of England is right to keep interest rates at current levels" - John Longworth, British Chambers of Commerce.

Globally Investors are awaiting the Non-Farm Payrolls report due to be released at 12:30 GMT today. US NFP is expected to come at 225K and Unemployment rate is expected to stay steady at 5.3%

This month Nonfarm Payroll release will decide the timing of the rate hike by the Federal Reserve this year.

A better than expected report will see US Dollar gaining ground and EURUSD is expected to touch 1.0800 on strong NFP data.

Crude oil is trading lower at $44.73 on oversupply concerns.

Gold is trading higher in the Europe at 1090.91, while Silver is up at 14.75

US Non-Farm Payrolls support Fed Rate Hike in September

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 215,000 in July, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.3 percent. Job gains occurred in retail trade, health care, professional and technical services, and financial activities - US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Following the NFP data US Dollar rose to a 2 month high versus the Japanese Yen and to a 5 month high against the Swiss Franc. Towards the end of the trading session US dollar gave up its gains due to drop in long bond yields.

Non-Farm Payrolls supports the Fed outlook to begin raising Interest rates later this year in September.

"I don't think it's done any harm but I don't see anything here that screams that Sep hike chances have increased. The revision to June helps, as does the increase in working hours and the underemployment rate falling. Wages rose as expected but y/y only showed a small gain. There's reasons to be bullish but I don't see this report making the Fed's mind up for definite" - Janus Capital's Bill Gross.

"If I had to pick trigger for the Fed to act on jobs it would probably be the unemployment rate dropping to 5.0% or better, and/or a big uptick in wages. Get them up to 2.5%+ y/y and that might be enough for the Fed to pull the trigger" - Janus Capital's Bill Gross.

The US dollar remained supported against its major counterparts on Monday after Friday’s strong NFP report supported the Fed rate hike view.

In China Exports declined in the month of July due to a strong Yuan and weaker demand in the European Union.

"As global growth moderates and commodity prices remain depressed, it is unlikely to see China's trade growth pick up significantly in the remainder of the year" -ANZ Bank.

In Canada employment growth was better than expectations with creation of 6.6K Jobs in the month of July. The unemployment rate remained at 6.8%, while participation rate was at 65.7% according to a report by Statistics Canada.

German Industrial output declined for the month of June to 1.4% mainly due to risks in the Euro zone and a weak growth in the emerging market countries including China.

The British Deficit widened to 1.6 billion pounds in the month of June according to the Office for National Statistics.

Greek government is close to securing the third bailout deal of €86bn to prevent an economic collapse just a week before €3bn debt repayment to the European Central Bank is due.

"When the new bailout comes to parliament for a vote it will be one bill with two articles - one article will be the loan agreement and the MoU (memorandum of understanding) and the second article will be the prior actions" - Greek official.

"Efforts are being made to conclude the negotiations, the horizon is by Monday night or early Tuesday" - Greek official.

Crude oil is trading lower at $43.86 amid rising US rig count.

Gold is trading higher in the Europe at 1094.69, while Silver is up at 14.93

People's Bank of China Devalues Yuan to Increase Exports

China has devalued the Yuan to combat slowdown, which had ripple effects on the Forex markets as the People’s Bank of China cut its daily reference rate by 1.9 percent.

People's Bank of China depreciated Yuan by 1.9 percent against the US dollar to levels seen almost three years back, which came as a shock to the currency markets.

The statement that was released by the Central Bank said it had changed the way it calculated the currency's daily midpoint against the greenback, now taking the midpoint from market-makers quotes and the previous day's closing price.

Monetary policies in emerging market economies diverged and it was hard to make policies - People's Bank of China.

The Yuan dropped 1.8 percent to 6.32 per dollar as of 1:34 p.m. in Shanghai. It slid 2.3 percent in Hong Kong’s offshore trading.

The ECB reinforced its accommodative monetary policy. The euro area is confronted with the threat from persistent declining inflation and low growth potential. The Bank of Japan announced additional easing monetary policies. The Bank of England maintained its easing monetary policies - People's Bank of China.

The Federal Reserve ended the program of asset purchases. The world economy faces the challenge that the policy rate of the U.S. may rise. The global financial conditions may tighten and emerging market economies may be faced with the sudden reversal of capital flows if the Federal Reserve raises its policy rate earlier than expected - People's Bank of China.

"Since China's trade in goods continues to post relatively large surpluses, the Yuan’s real effective exchange rate is still relatively strong versus various global currencies, and is deviating from market expectations" - People's Bank of China.

The devaluation followed weekend data that showed China's exports tumbled 8.3 percent in July, hit by weaker demand from Europe, the United States and Japan, and that producer prices were well into their fourth year of deflation - Reuters.

The move by the People's Bank of China overnight could have a significant impact on whether the Federal Reserve decides to hike interest rates this year.

Greece has agreed a bailout deal with its European creditors according to the European Commission as it said a technical agreement had been reached with Greece, which now requires political approval.

In Germany Investor confidence dropped to 25.0 in the month of July according to a report released by the ZEW Center for European Economic Research.

Crude oil is trading lower at $44.07 on oversupply and weak global demands.

Gold is trading higher in the Europe at 1109.31, while Silver is up at 15.25

Euro hits 2-week high after Greece reached third bailout deal with creditors

Greece and its international lenders reached an 85 billion euro bailout agreement on Tuesday after nailing down the terms of new loans needed to save the country from financial ruin - Reuters.

European Commission spokeswoman said that a technical deal has been reached between Greece, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the European Stability Mechanism.

The deal, which came after 23 hours of talks that continued through the night, must still be adopted by Greece's parliament and by euro zone countries - Reuters.

Following the news EURUSD reached a 2 week high of 1.1115 and is currently trading at 1.1142 in the European trading session.

“The crucial nature of the situation requires the immediate convening of parliament to proceed with the deal’s approval and allow disbursement of the first installment” - Greek PM Alexis Tsipras.

The Greek government has submitted a Draft bill in the Parliament today which contains an agreement with its European creditors for securing the third bailout funds. They are expected to pass the bill on Thursday with Euro group meeting scheduled on Friday.

According to the agreement, Greece will have to produce a primary budget deficit of 0.25 percent of GDP in 2015, followed by surpluses of 0.5 percent in 2016, 1.75 percent in 2017, and 3.5 percent in 2018.

"After this deal the prime minister should call for elections, so that the Greek people can vote on whether they approve the programme or want something else" - Greek Health Minister.

Global investors are awaiting the Germany’s IFO survey, which is likely to indicate Europe’s largest economy is on track to post a reasonable pace of growth.

Gold rose more than one per cent on Tuesday as the dollar cut gains and European stocks fell and investors assessed the impact of China’s move to devalue its currency and prop up its economy.

“Gold’s best moment this year came in the first few months when we saw various FX swings, lots of different central banks cutting interest rates or intervening in their monetary policy, so probably there is some element of that which has helped the rally from Monday continue a bit. Probably gold is benefiting from fears that this is a new round of currency war" - Matthew Turner, analyst at Macquarie.

Consumer confidence in Australia rose for the month of August by 7.8% to 99.5 points according to the Westpac-Melbourne Institute.

"Movements of the Index of this magnitude are unusual and generally associated with highly significant events such as interest rate moves or Commonwealth Budgets" - Bill Evans, Westpac chief economist.

Crude oil is trading lower at $43.45 due to a rapid decline in the value of Yuan.

Gold is trading higher in the Europe at 1116.20, while Silver is up at 15.31

Greek parliament approves €85bn bailout deal

Greek parliament has approved the new €85bn rescue package following a debate and voting on the deal on Friday.

The new deal which seeks harsh austerity measures was approved with 222 votes for, 64 votes against and 11 absent in a 24 hour session in the Greek parliament.

Greek PM Alexis Tsipras is facing harsh criticism from his own party for accepting the demands of its European creditors, with several members showing dissent and threatening to split the party and call for early elections in Greece.

EURUSD was supported by the news that Greek parliament has approved the new bailout deal terms and is currently trading above the 1.1100 level at 1.1133 in the European trading session.

International Monetary Fund has welcomed the bailout deal but said that it will wait to see if there is a plan for reducing Greece's debt.

“The IMF will remain closely engaged with the Greek government and the European partners to assist in this process, and will make an assessment of its participation in providing any additional financing to Greece once the steps on the authorities’ program and debt relief have been taken” - Delia Velculescu, IMF.

“The IMF has been adopting a line of, not silence but, we try to be mindful of developments and not be excessive in our positions” - IMF managing director.

“There’s a need for difficult decisions on both sides and by both sides. I think everybody understands that the IMF can only be involved when these decisions on these two sides are taken.” - Senior IMF official.

Greek PM has called French president François Hollande, European Commission president, leader of European parliament members for approval of the rescue package by the Euro group.

Greece Economy has grown unexpectedly in the second quarter of the 2015 as its GDP rose 0.8% from the previous quarter.

“The surprise is partly explained by some consumption indices, such as retail sales, that were in positive territory in the second quarter and this was helped by some improvement in the labor market. There was also a very strong positive impact from tourism, which is having increasing knock-on effects on the economy” - Nikos Magginas, economist at National Bank of Greece.

The Peoples Bank of China put the Yuan's central parity rate at 6.4010 Yuan for US$1, a drop of 1.11% from the previous day.

“The central bank, if necessary, is fully capable of stabilizing the exchange rate through direct intervention in the foreign exchange market to avoid the herd mentality resulting in irrational movements of the rate” - Peoples Bank of China economist Ma Jun.

In New Zealand Retail sales fell short of analyst expectations. Retail sales in the second quarter of the 2015 grew by 0.1% while the expectations were for a 0.5% growth.

Weak economic data from New Zealand has increased the expectations for a further rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Crude oil is trading lower at $41.92 on oversupply concerns and weak global demand.

Gold is trading higher in the Europe at 1117.34, while Silver is up at 15.46
