EUR/USD- ... The single currency retreated from last Fri's high at 1.3634 to 1.3565 after the release of weaker-than-expected German producer price, however, short-covering lifted price to 1.3600. Offers are now tipped at 1.3620-30 with stops seen abv last Thur's high at 1.3643. On the upside, some bids are located at 1.3580-70 with stops building up below 1.3560 n 1.3550.

Reuters reported that European Central Bank President Mario Draghi told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf in an interview published on Saturday that the euro zone recovery was still weak, uneven and vulnerable and that interest rates would stay low over a longer period. Draghi said large-scale asset purchases are part of the central bank's toolkit, but for now it would focus on its latest set of stimulus measures. The ECB plans to offer banks targeted long-term loans, or TLTROs, of as much as 400 billion euros ($544 billion) for four years, with the condition that they boost credit to companies and households.

ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny, in an interview published earlier in Austria's Kronen Zeitung said that "as soon as there's clear growth, i.e. more than two percent, then the change in rates will come. Nowotny said "from today's perspective, however, that will scarcely be before 2016."

Germany and eurozone will release their Markit service flash PMI at 07:30GMT n 08:00GMT respectively.

. USD/JPY- 102.12... The greenback spent a lackluster week gyrating inside a fairly narrow range of 101.73-102.35. Price ratcheted higher abv previous sup at 101.61 on Mon n then climbed to 102.35 b4 retreating back to 101.74 (Thur) on cross-buying of yen but dlr's broad-based strength lifted price to 102.20 Fri.

. Looking at the daily picture, although dlr's erratic fall fm Jun's high at 102.80 to 101.61 signals early 3-legged upmove fm May's 3-1/2 month bottom at 100.81 has formed a top there, as long as 101.19/21 holds, consolidation with upside bias remains, however, abv 102.80 is needed to retain bullish prospect of extending aforesaid rise fm 100.81 to next daily chart obj. at 103.02 but as broad outlook on dlr remains 'consolidative' (as evidenced by the horizontal movement in 13-day & 55-day emas), 103.50 (80.9% r of 104.13-100.81) shud cap upside n yield another retreat in Jul. In view of this analysis, buying dlr on dips or selling on upmove is the appropriate trading strategy this week.

. Today, despite Fri's rise fm 101.82 to 102.20 to 102.20 due to renewed cross-selling in yen, as long as 102.35 res holds, subsequent decline to 101.45 is still likely. Abv 102.35 res may risk stronger gain twd 102.80 b4 retreat.

AceTraderFx Jun 24: Dollar remains little changed versus majors currencies after upbe

Market Review - 23/06/2014 22:48GMT

Dollar remains little changed versus majors currencies after upbeat U.S. data

The greenback ended the day little changed versus majority of its peers except the Japanese yen on Monday despite the release of better-than-expected U.S. manufacturing PMI and existing home sales.

U.S. manufacturing PMI came in better-than-expected at 57.5 vs forecast of 56.5. Existing home sales rose by 4.9%, higher than expectation of 1.9%.

Although the single currency rose to session high at 1.3614 at European open, the release of weaker-than-expected PMIs from France, Germany and Eurozone pressured the pair lower and price dropped to an intra-day low at 1.3574 in European morning. Euro pared some of its losses and recovered to 1.3603 at New York open, however, renewed selling after the release of upbeat U.S. manufacturing PMI and existing home sales pushed the pair back down to 1.3581 before stabilizing.

France manufacturing and services PMI came in at 47.8 and 48.2 vs forecasts of 49.5 and 49.4 respectively. Germany manufacturing and services PMI was reported weaker-than-expected at 52.4 and 54.8 vs forecasts of 52.5 and 55.7 respectively. EZ manufacturing and services PMI came in at 51.9 and 52.8, lower than expectations of 52.2 and 53.3 respectively.

Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback retreated from session high at 102.14 at Asian open to 101.82 in European morning on active cross-buying of yen together with risk aversion on continued geopolitical tension in Iraq. However, the greenback pared its losses and recovered to 101.94 in New York morning on dollar's weakness following upbeat U.S. data.

The British pound also rose in tandem with euro to 1.7050 at European open, however, renewed selling below last Thursday's 5-1/2 year high at 1.7064 capped intra-day gains there and price retreated to 1.7002 at New York open. Later, cable recovered to 1.7020 in New York afternoon on dollar's strength.

In other news, ECB's Nowotny said 'Eurozone economic rebound relatively weak; big danger is that costs of crisis not only fiscal but that potential growth rates limited; Germany increasingly becoming Europe's growth enginge.'
