AceTraderFx Sept 22: Daily Outlook on Major EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK EUR/USD- 1.2848

Update Time: 22 Sep 2014 00:54 GMT

Euro's sell off to a fresh 14-month trough of 1.2829 Friday and then marginally to 1.2826 in Australia today signals mid-term downtrend from May's 2-1/2 year peak at 1.3995 has once again resumed and further weakness to 1.2772 would be seen after consolidation.

However, 'loss of momentum' should keep price above 1.2745 today and risk correction later.

On the upside, a daily close above 1.2831 (last Thursday's high) would abort daily bearishness and yield stronger gain to 1.2880/90.

GBP/USD - ...... Despite cable's retreat after intra-day rebound from 1.6288 (Aust.) to 1.6365 in Asia morning, price found support at 1.6334 shortly after European open due to renewed cross-buying in sterling vs euro n yen.

Buying interest is seen at 1.6330-20 with demand fm various accounts noted at 1.6305/00. On the upside, Offers are noted at 1.6365/70 n then 1.6380 with mixture of offers n stops placed at 1.6400-10.

Last Friday Cable swung wildly n to a lesser extent in today, Monday's trading.

Despite an initial rally to 1.6525 in Asia, price tumbled to as low as 1.6284 near NY close on long liquidation as investors locked in gains after more voters in Scotland's independence referendum elected to remain inside the United Kingdom. Price briefly rebounded to 1.6340 in Mon's NZ n then retreated to 1.6385 b4 climbing back to 1.6364 in Tokyo lunch session.

With the referendum issue out of the way, investors are turning their attention back towards the Bank of England's monetary policy stance n therefore, choppy range trading inside 1.6300-1.6400 is expected today.

Offers are noted at 1.6360-70 n around 1.6380 with mixture of offers n stops placed at 1.6400-10. On the downside, bids are located at 1.6285-80 with stops below there.

On Sunday, U.K. PM David Cameron's office said:

'Scotland will get more autonomy with no "ifs or buts"', after Scottish leader Alex Salmond accused him and other politicians of tricking Scots out of independence.

'It is the people who were persuaded to vote "No" who were misled, who were gulled, who were tricked effectively,' Salmond told BBC TV, saying he thought last-minute promises of greater powers and continued higher-than-average funding, which he said were already unravelling, had swayed the vote's outcome.

Cameron's office responded by saying the government would stick to its promises. Miliband, leader of the Labour party, said on Sun he disagreed with the proposals because he thought more time and consultation was needed to work out a solution to 'the English question' accusing his rival of playing politics.

He told BBC 'You know we've spent two years trying to keep our country together. Let's have a proper constitutional convention, let's look at these issues; Let's not drive our country apart because David Cameron thinks it's a sort of opportunity for him to do it.'

25 Sep 2014 02:25GMT

USD/JPY- ....... Dlr ended up higher above 109.00 level yesterday as release of robust U.S. new home sales data triggered broad-based buying in greenback in NY n investors ignored the comments from Japan PM Abe who expressed concerns over the impact of a weak yen ahead of Wednesday's Tokyo open.

Despite dlr's retreat after climbing to 109.34 ahead of Tokyo open, intra-day near 200 points rally in the Nikkei should continue to boost risk sentiment and buying dlr on dips is still the way to go, however, sharp gain beyond last Friday's 6-year peak at 109.46 is not likely ahead of release of a slew of U.S. data in NY morning where are expected to come in weaker than previous readings.

Bids are noted in the region of 109.00-108.80 and then 108.60-50 with stops emerging below 108.30, whilst offers are placed at 109.45/50 and further out at 109.80-90 with stops located just above psychological barrier at 110.00.

U.S. will release durable goods, weekly jobless claims and Markit Service PMI today. Economists forecast durable goods orders to drop 18.0% in August after July's unusual 22.6% jump which mainly caused by a 317% spike in civilian aircraft n parts orders due to Boeing booking of a record 327 airplane orders.

For the weekly jobless claims and Markit Service PMI, market expects the number to climb to 299K a week ago and to drop to 59.0 in Sept from 59.5 in previous month respectively.

Thursday will see the release of U.K. CBI distributive trades, U.S. building permits, durable goods and Markit services PMI.

 

AceTraderFx Sept 25: Euro falls to fresh 14-month low after weak German business ....

Market Review - 24/09/2014 22:38GMT

Euro falls to fresh 14-month low after weak German business confidence and Draghi's dovish comments

Despite euro's brief bounce to 1.2868 in European morning on Wednesday, the single currency ratcheted lower after weak Ifo German business confidence and ECB President Draghi's dovish remarks. Euro penetrated Mon's low at 1.2816 to a fresh 14-month trough at 1.2774 in New York morning due to dollar's broad-based strength on the rally in U.S. stocks before trading sideways.

Ifo economist Wohlrabe said 'expects to see a weak Q3 in Germany; expects economy to stagnate in Q3; still expects German GDP growth around 1.5% in 2014; reduced export expectations and weaker capital goods weighed on business sentiment.'

Reuters news reported European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said on Wednesday that euro zone monetary policy would remain accommodative for a long period and that the goal was to push ultra-low inflation back up closer to the two percent level.

"Monetary policy will remain accommodating for a long time and I can tell you that the (ECB) Governing Council is unanimous in committing itself to using the tools at its disposal to bring inflation back to just under two percent," Draghi said in an interview on French Europe 1 radio.

Although the greenback briefly dropped to 108.46 ahead of Tokyo open on Wednesday due to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reportedly voiced concern about the economic impact of the currency's recent weakness, the greenback rebounded to 108.78 in Asia on the recovery in Japanese Nikkei-225 index. U.S. dollar later ratcheted higher to 109.15 against the the Japanese yen near New York close.

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester said she thinks the Fed should overhaul how it communicates its policy guidance, perhaps tying its statements about monetary policy to forecasts about economic performance. Mester said as the Fed ends its crisis-era policies it should also move away from the type of qualitative forward guidance it has used in recent years to statements that are more directly tied to economic projections. Mester said "I would like to see the forward guidance evolve over time to give more information about the conditions we systematically assess in calibrating the stance of policy to the economy's actual progress and anticipated progress." Mester repeated an earlier critique that she felt it was time for the Fed to drop as a key standing phrase that it would be a "considerable time," once a Fed bond buying program ends this fall, before interest rates are increased.

Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans said at a Peterson Institute conference on labor market slack that 'the U.S. Federal Reserve should be "exceptionally patient" in removing monetary policy accommodation, even if doing so means allowing inflation to modestly overshoot the central bank's 2 percent goal.'

The British pound moved sideways in Asia on Wednesday and then briefly bounced to 1.6414 in Europe, however, selling interest below Tuesday's high at 1.6416 knocked price lower to 1.6327 in New York morning due to renewed dollar's strength elsewhere before trading narrowly later in the day.

Thursday will see the release of U.K. CBI distributive trades, U.S. building permits, durable goods and Markit services PMI.
