FX: US inflation data revives growth bets

Макроэкономика 23.10.2014 Yesterday, the US dollar was bolstered (albeit shortly) from the economic data release that reported September CPI up 0.1% MoM while on-year inflation remained flat at 1.7% versus the previous month. This is a stark contrast to disinflation in the Eurozone, giving the Fed confidence to declare an end to its QE program next week. The US 10yr treasury yield rose to 2.23% in the mid-day while the euro slid to 1.26 and Russian ruble lowered beyond 41/USD. This effectively pushed the hryvnia's real TWI up despite its nominal stability in the spot market at 12.95/USD. (These trends reversed later in the day.)
