AUD/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: National Australia Bank Business Confidence and 39 pips price movement

2016-02-09 00:30 GMT | [AUD - NAB Business Confidence]

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for AUD in our case)

[AUD - NAB Business Confidence] = Level of a diffusion index based on surveyed businesses, excluding the farming industry.

==========

"Financial market volatility has persisted, raising the risk of an adverse impact on Australian business that could threaten the recovery seen in the non-mining economy. However, today’s NAB Monthly Business Survey suggests that business confidence – where the negative effects from financial markets are likely to be felt first – have held up reasonably well in the face of this uncertainty. The confidence index remained unchanged at +2 points in January.

According to NAB Group Economist Alan Oster, “Given all the volatility in equity and financial markets, this is yet another relatively good result from the Business Survey. It suggests things remain broadly on track for the non-mining economy”.

[USD - Fed Chair Yellen Speech] = on the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report before the House Financial Services Committee, in Washington DC.

==========

"The Committee is continuing its policy of reinvesting proceeds from maturing Treasury securities and principal payments from agency debt and mortgage-backed securities. As highlighted in the December statement, the FOMC anticipates continuing this policy "until normalization of the level of the federal funds rate is well under way." Maintaining our sizable holdings of longer-term securities should help maintain accommodative financial conditions and reduce the risk that we might need to return the federal funds rate target to the effective lower bound in response to future adverse shocks."

Janet Yellen - The Perfect Hedge and Fed Room To Move (based on the article)


  • Janet Yellen spent most of the day testifying on Capitol Hill and, once again, she placed the perfect hedge. Chair Yellen said she is aware of the broader risks that may adversely affect the economy. Even with those risks, she did not directly take future rate hikes off the table. What does that mean for all of us? Put simply, she remains “data dependent.”
  • This is Yellen’s classic modus operandi. Adopting a “data dependent” stance, gives her room to move anyway she wants in the future. In fact, since she became the Fed Chair, Dr. Yellen has largely adopted a “data dependent” stance. This is her way of placing, what I call, “The Perfect Hedge.”

EUR/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: German GDP and 11 pips price movement


2016-02-12 07:00 GMT | [EUR - German GDP]

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for EUR in our case)

[EUR - German GDP] = Change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy.

==========

  • "The German economy continued its moderate growth at the end of 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the gross domestic product (GDP) rose 0.3% on the previous quarter after adjustment for price, seasonal and calendar variations. The economic situation in Germany in 2015 was characterised by solid and steady growth (+0.3% in the third and fourth quarter each and +0.4% in each of the first two quarters). The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that this results in a +1.7% average increase (calendar-adjusted: +1.4%) for the whole year of 2015. The provisional result released in January has largely been confirmed."
  • "In a year-on-year comparison, economic growth accelerated since summer when measured by the unadjusted figures. The price-adjusted GDP in the fourth quarter of 2015 rose by +2.1%, following increases of +1.7% in the third quarter of 2015 and of +1.6% in the second quarter of 2015. However, in the last quarter of 2015 there were two working days more than a year earlier, which produced an above-average calendar effect." Consequently, the calendar-adjusted increase (+1.3%) was slightly smaller than in the third (+1.7%) and second quarter (+1.6%).
  • "The statistical carry-over effect at the end of 2015 is +0.4%. This is the rate of GDP change which would be obtained for 2016 if the seasonally and calendar-adjusted GDP remained at the level of the fourth quarter of 2015 for all quarters of 2016."
