EUR/USD: Focus on Brexit vote and EUR/GBP flows


  • EUR/USD posted gains in Asia as risk-on pushed EUR/JPY higher.
  • Brexit vote and the resulting action in EUR/GBP could influence EUR/USD.
  • The market expects the vote to be defeated by a historically large margin.
  • Draghi speech, due at 15:00 GMT, could also influence the EUR pairs.

The EUR/USD volatility could rise, as the Brexit vote is expected to yield big moves in the EUR/GBP cross.

The market already expects the motion to be rejected by a historically big margin. Notably, some defeat estimates are ranging as high as 200.. The downside in Sterling (upside in EUR/GBP), however, could be limited as the historic parliamentary defeat may have been priced in.

That said, the opposition party may call early elections if the vote if defeated by a big margin, leading to heightened political uncertainty and an uptick in the EUR/GBP and EUR/USD.

Sterling, however, could rise if the vote is defeated by a margin of 50 or below. That would mean UK's PM has sufficient support to try for a second approval, according to FXStreet Analyst Joseph Trevisani. Brexit optimism will likely lift EUR/USD higher as well, although gains could be capped by the drop in EUR/GBP.

Apart from the Brexit vote, the EUR pairs could also take cues from the ECB President Draghi's speech. The common currency could pick up a strong bid if the central bank head downplays recent economic slowdown and focuses more on the wage growth.

USD/JPY holds above the 154.00 mark at the start of a new week and seems to have stalled its retracement slide from the highest level since July 23 touched on Friday. Intervention risks and speculations that the BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda could flag a possible rate hike in December during a speech this Monday offer some support to the JPY. The downside for the pair seems cushioned amid a strong underlying USD bullish sentiment.
