QE3 Talk Stole the Show from EU Summit and Dollar Tumbled Finance markets struggled in range for most of the week and the situation of European debt crisis remained unclear. Supposedly, we should get something concrete after this Sunday's EU summit but the hope was dented as a second summit was called for this Wednesday.

The jump in headline inflation in September has probably prevented the central bank to lower interest rates but it would definitely not trigger a rate hike. We expect the central bank will deliver a statement that warns of downside risks in domestic and global economic outlook. Read more...
