Update Time: 03 Feb 2016 04:13 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0925

Despite the single currency's selloff from last Thursday's high at 1.0968 to 1.0810 on Friday, subsequent rebound suggests further choppy trading inside recently established range of 1.0985-1.0776 would continue with mild upside bias and marginal gain from here is likely.

However, indicated upper level should remain intact and bring another retreat later today.

On the downside, only below 1.0810 would revive bearishness for weakness towards aforesaid lower level, break would retain bearishness for weakness to 1.0740/50.

Update Time: 04 Feb 2016 05:01 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1085

The single currency's rally above December's peak at 1.1060 to as high as 1.1145 yesterday on dollar's broad-based selloff signals the erratic upmove from December's low at 1.0523 has once again resumed and consolidation with upside bias would be seen for further gain towards 1.1170/80.

However, near term loss of momentum would keep price well below 1.1224 and yield a much-needed correction later.

On the downside, only below 1.0985 (previous resistance) would confirm a temporary top has been made and risk stronger retracement towards 1.0940.

AUD/USD- ..... The RBA just released its Monetary Policy Statement, Reuters reported Australia's central bank sees sub-trend economic growth and tame inflation in the year ahead, but said any cut in interest rates will depend on whether the labour market deteriorated and if recent financial market turbulence pointed to a weaker global economy.

In its 66-page quarterly report on monetary policy released on Friday, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) highlighted the surprising strength of the labour market which led it to cut forecasts for the jobless rate.

The past decline in the local dollar had also been a key support for the economy, particularly service exports ? a trend it expects will continue. It reiterated that continued low inflation would provide scope for further rate cuts, should that be needed to support demand.

At its first policy review for 2016 on Feb. 2, the RBA left the cash rate unchanged at a record low 2.0 percent, where it has been since May last year.

Data to be released on Friday:

Australia retail sales, Germany factory orders, France imports, exports, trade balance, U.S. unemployment rate, non-farm payroll, average earnings, private payrolls, manufacturing payrolls, participation rate, trade balance, Canada imports, exports, international balance, participation rate, net change in employment and Ivey PMI.

USD/JPY - ...... Although dlr 'jumped' from 118.52 to 121.42 last Friday after surprise BoJ's negative rate policy, then to 121.70 in New York, the pair fell sharply this week to as low as 116.53 yesterday.

Reuters reported earlier just days before the Bank of Japan stunned financial markets with its radical adoption of negative interest rates, members of the central bank's own policy board had also been taken by surprise by the move.

Most of the nine board members were only told of the scheme in the week leading up to last Friday's rate review, according to interviews with more than a dozen officials familiar with the deliberations.

The startling speed and secrecy with which such a major policy shift was executed suggest its intent was more about delivering a shock to markets that would weaken the yen, than about maximising the stimulative impact of further easing.

That would be in keeping with the single-minded style of central bank Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, people who know him well or have worked with him say, but could risk entrenching divisions between BOJ policymakers.
