PLN: EURPLN Remains Contained Within Session’s Range Following Glapinksi Presser
Oct-09 14:17
EURPLN remained contained within the week’s range throughout the course of Governor Glapinski’s press conference. The Governor said MPC members see room for more rate cuts but that they are uncertain on when this could happen.
- “There is not a lot of room but there is some,” he said. Those remarks pressured the zloty at the margins, but the recent spell of PLN weakness has also coincided with an uptick in the DXY Index to a new session high.
- Overall, EURPLN continues to trade inside a range. Attention is on key short-term support at 4.2230, the May 15 low, a clearance of which would strengthen a bearish theme and expose the 4.20 handle. On the upside, initial resistance is at 4.2761, the Aug 27 high, ahead of key resistance at 4.3102, the Apr 16 high.

US DATA: Prelim. NFP Annual Revision More Negative Than Median But Within Ranges
Sep-09 14:07
- The BLS preliminary estimate for the annual payrolls benchmark revision points to a downward revision of -911k over the twelve months up to March 2025.
- Analyst estimates were wide-ranging but we estimated a median of -750k, mainly in a range of -500k to -1mn (sometimes given as a similar range by each analyst, for example Goldman Sachs saw between -550k and -950k) but with Barclays more pessimistic still with -1.1-1.3mn.
- This compares with last year’s preliminary estimate of -818k before the -598k in the actual benchmark revision published with the January monthly payrolls report released in February.
- Taking these revisions at face value (which history suggests is likely overly negative), the average pace of monthly payrolls growth of 147k in the twelve months to Mar 2025 would have been 71k.
- As for private payrolls, the -880k preliminary downward revision implies average monthly private payrolls growth would be revised down from 122k to 49k.
- Beware extrapolating this monthly downward revision to the three-month average in seasonally adjusted payrolls growth of 29k as of August (private payrolls also 29k), but the risk is certainly on payrolls growth to have been even weaker than currently estimated.
