Dollar retreats in NY afternoon on profit-taking after early gains

Although the U.S. dollar rose after Chicago PMI hit a four-year high, price retreated across the board in NY afternoon on profit-taking. Dollar index rose 0.1% to 77.888 and up 4.1% in the month, on pace for its best monthly gain since February.

The Chicago Purchasing Managers Index marked its third-consecutive month of progressively more optimistic business atmosphere for the US Midwest region with a score of 60.0 for December, far above the more pessimistic forecasts of 55.3 as well as November's score of 56.1

Euro staged a rebound in Europe on short-covering after Tuesday's selloff and price hit an intra-day high of 1.4361 before easing. However, with the Chicago PMI report revealing overall strength in U.S. economy and rise in production (new orders and employment were particularly encouraging), the single currency dropped briefly to a low of 1.4273 in NY morning before staging a rebound in NY afternoon. In other news, Euro zone M3 money supply growth showed a surprise fall in Nov while loans to the private sector fell at a less pronounced rate than had been expected.

Cable extended Wednesday's selloff and fell to a 11-week low of 1.5832 in European mid-day due to ongoing worries over the U.K. economy and rising public debt. The decline was also in part due to thin market condition. However, the British pound staged a strong rebound in NY session triggered by active cross-buying in sterling. Eur/gbp posted its biggest decline in more than two months, falling from 0.9055 to as low as 0.8911 and cable reached an intra-day high of 1.6095 in NY afternoon before stabilizing.

The dollar climbed to a three-month high against the yen on speculation the Federal Reserve is moving closer to withdrawing stimulus measures as the economy recovers, pushing bond yields higher. Despite a brief dip to 91.90 in Asia, the pair quickly picked up what it left off on Tuesday and price rallied to intra-day high of 92.77 in NY afternoon before retreating in line with dollar's broad-based softness.

Data to be released on Thursday include U.K. Nationwide house price and U.S. jobless claims. Thursday is a market holiday for both Japan and Germany.

Dollar slips on renewed risk appetite

The greenback declined against a basket of currencies especially versus yen on Tuesday as growing hopes for a global economic recovery encouraged investors to shift funds to riskier assets from the dollar. The dollar index, U.S. currency's performance against six other major currencies, was down 0.4 percent at 77.203.

The single currency rose to intra-day high of 1.4485 at European opening on Tuesday but retreated quickly from there despite solid unemployment data from Germany. The unemployment fell unexpectedly by 3,000 in December (forecast was an increase of 5,000) to 3.421 million. German unemployment rate came in as expected at 8.1%. Euro continued to move lower after the data and price hit intra-day low of 1.4346 in NY afternoon before stabilizing.

Similar to euro, cable bounced briefly to intra-day high of 1.6154 at European opening before tumbling to 1.5989. The weaker-than-expected U.K. PMI was part of the reason for the selloff. The index only rose to 47.1 in December (forecast was 47.4) from 47.0 in November. Cable continued to be soft in NY session in part due to active cross-selling in sterling (eur/gbp rose from 0.8946 to 0.9016 and gbp/jpy fell from 149.15 to 146.16) and price reached an intra-day low of 1.5965 in NY afternoon before staging a minor rebound.

Despite falling sharply to intra-day low of 91.25 against the yen in NY morning due to active buying of yen by Japanese exporters and hedge funds earlier in Asia, the greenback rebounded after the release of mixed U.S. data. U.S. factory orders rose by 1.1% in November (forecast was 0.5%) with upwardly revised 0.8% increase in October, however, U.S. pending homes sales dropped by 16% versus economists' forecast of -2%. In other news, Finance Minister Hiroshida Fujii resigned earlier in today's European session due to health reasons.

Data to be released on Wednesday include Germany services PMI, EU services PMI, U.K PMI service, EU industrial orders, PPI, U.S. ADP unemployment, ISM non-manufacturing.
