USD/JPY - ..... Once again, the Japanese yen took centre stage in Asian session on Thursday following yesterday's resumption of dlr's downtrend vs yen to a fresh 15-month bottom of 113.12.

Despite a brief short-covering rebound to 113.60 in Australia, a wave of fresh selling emerged shortly after Asian open despite closure of Japanese financial markets, the pair tanked to as low as 112.54 after tripping stops below 113.00 in thin market condition, however, price has staged a modest bounce back to 113.03/04 on lack of follow-through selling.

Looks like the intra-day low print would remain on the screen as price consolidate in European morning. Once again, if European stocks do not fall sharply, then one can expect a much-needed recovery to 113.50/60 before recent downtrend resumes. Offers are tipped at 113.00/10 with some stops above there.

However, more offers are reported at 113.50/60.

Some bids are noted at 112.70-112.50 with some stops below there.

Later today, U.S. will release weekly jobless claims and Fed Yellen will testify before Senate Banking Committee on Capital Hill at 15:00GMT.

EUR/USD - ...... Euro pares intra-day marginal gain in Asia after rising briefly above yesterday's New York 1.1299 high to 1.1320 as renewed broad-based yen's strength triggered another fresh round of USD bashing.

However, lack of follow-through buying quickly knocked price lower to 1.1280 in Asian lunch session.

Euro's intra-day retreat suggests choppy trading below Tuesday's 1.1338 high would continue as offers at 1.1320/30 have capped upside and market may test downside in early European morning.

Some bids are noted at 1.1280-70 with some stops below there, more buying interest is touted at 1.1240-30.

No EZ eco. data are due out, so technical trading may influence intra-day market swings.

EUR/USD - ...... Euro jumped to a fresh 3-1/2 month peak of 1.1355 after ECB Nowotny's brief remark on Brexit'.

Reuters later reported Euro area inflation could dip into negative territory in the first half of 2016 but the threat of entrenched deflation has been averted and prices will rise in the second half, European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny(head of the Austrian central bank. ) said. He thinks it's important to look at the medium term and in the second half, we could already see a clear increase in inflation because of the base effect from the previous year.

He continued that he wouldn't speak of a deflationary risk, per se as it could be the case in certain months but that is not deflation, but think that it was the success of the previous policy of the ECB that had prevented a deflationary scenario in Europe.

USD/JPY - .... The Japanese yen took centre stage again in Asia today, not by its sharp price moves but by Japanese officials' rhetorics (see previous updates) who expressed dismay over this week's spectacular but unwelcome yen's ascent.

Although dlr briefly dipped to 111.91 when the Nikkei opened lower weakened by 4%, falling briefly below psychological 15,000 level, intra-day recovery in the N225 index plus comments by Japanese officials quickly lifted the pair to 112.60.

Bids are noted at 116.80-60 area and more below with stops below 110.90.

Offers are tipped at 112.60/70 with some stops above there, however, more selling interest is reported at 113.00/20 area. Pay attention to release of key U.S. retail sales at 13:30GMT.

EUR/USD - 1.1310

Despite euro's resumption of recent strong upmove to a fresh 3-1/2 month high of 1.1377, subsequent retreat and intra-day weakness in Asia suggests consolidation is in store ahead of a slew of European eco. data in Europe.

As long as 1.1274/75 sup holds, mild upside bias remains but above 1.1377/87 res area needed to extend to 1.1400.

On the downside, only a daily close below 1.1274 confirms temporary top is made, then risk would shift to the downside for a long-overdue correction to 1.1200/10 but sup at 1.1161 should remain intact.

USD/JPY - 112.47

Although dlr's intra-day sideways swings following yesterday's brief but sharp rise from a fresh 15-month bottom at 120.99 to 112.27 (inter-bank high) suggests recent downtrend has made a temporary low there and 1-2 days of choppy consolidation would continue, as long as said 'reaction high' holds, downside bias remains but a daily close below 111.57 needed to bring re-test of 120.99 and later to 110.35.

Only a daily close above 113.27 signals long-overdue correction has occured and bring stronger retracement towards 114.21/26.

EUR/USD - ...... Today is GDP day in Europe. Reuters reported Germany posted steady economic growth in the final quarter of 2015, as higher state spending boosted by the refugee crisis and significantly more construction offset a drag from foreign trade, the Federal Statistics Office said on Friday.

The economy grew by 0.3 percent in the final three months of 2015, in line with the consensus forecast in a Reuters poll and at the same rate as in the previous quarter. The overall growth rate for 2015 was 1.7 percent.

Unadjusted data showed the economy expanded by 2.1 percent on the year in the fourth quarter, falling short of the consensus forecast for 2.3 percent growth.

The statistics office said more was invested in construction compared to the previous quarter while foreign trade acted as a brake on growth. After a solid first half of 2015, the economy slowed slightly in the second half as market turmoil in emerging markets and the Chinese slowdown left their mark.

The steady reading follows on from surprisingly poor industrial output data for December that underlined the challenges facing Germany's traditionally export-driven economy this year after the slowdown in emerging markets.

USD/JPY - ..... The Nikkie index gain 4.3% despite early release of downbeat Japan's GDP data. Reuters reported Japan's economy contracted an annualised 1.4 percent in the final quarter of last year as consumer spending slumped, adding to headaches for policymakers already wary of damage the financial market rout could inflict on a fragile recovery.

The data underscores the challenges premier Shinzo Abe faces in dragging the economy out of stagnation, as exports to emerging markets fail to gain enough momentum to make up for soft domestic demand.

The contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) was bigger than a median market forecast for a 1.2 percent decline and followed a revised 1.3 percent increase in the previous quarter, Cabinet Office data showed on Monday. It matched a fall marked in April-June last year.

Private consumption, which makes up 60 percent of GDP, fell 0.8 percent, more than a median market forecast for a 0.6 percent decline, a sign Abe's stimulus policies have so far failed to nudge households into boosting spending.

Data to be released:

Japan's GDP, industrial production, tertiary industry index, capacity utilization, China's imports, exports, trade balance, U.K. house price index and Eurozone trade balance in Monday.

New Zealand retail sales, inflation expectation, Italy trade balance, U.K. CPI, core CPI, retail price index, producer price index, house price index, Germany ZEW current situation, economic sentiment, Eurozone economic sentiment, Canada manufacturing sales, U.S. housing market index, overall capital flows, foreign buying T-bond, NY Empire State manufacturing index and net long-term TIC flows on Tuesday.

Australia Westpac leading index, Japan machinery order, U.K. unemployment rate, average earning, unemployment change, Swiss investor sentiment, Eurozone construction output, U.S. mortgage application, build permits, housing starts, producer price index, Redbook, industrial production and capacity utilization on Wednesday.

New Zealand producer price index, Japan exports, imports, trade balance, Australia, unemployment rate, employment, participation rate, China CPI, producer price index, Swiss exports, imports, trade balance, France CPI, inflation, Eurozone current account, U.S. initial jobless claims, Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey, CB leading indicator and Canada wholesale sales on Thursday.

Japan all industry activity index, Germany producer price index, U.K. retail sales, public sector net borrowing, CB leading economic index, Eurozone consumer confidence, U.S. CPI, core CPI, Canada CPI, core CPI and retail sales on Friday.

USD/JPY - ..... In total stark contrast to recent dlr weakness, the pair traded higher above Friday's high at 113.53 (New York) in Tokyo morning as a strong recovery in the Dow last Friday lifted Asian stocks (except Chinese equities), the Nikkie rallied by over 5%, boosting risk appetite in Asia, yen and euro were sold whilst risk currencies (aud, nzd and cad) also gained as a result.

Despite initial pullback from 113.71 ahead of Asian open, renewed buying at 113.27 pushed the pair higher.

Bids are noted at 113.30-20 and more below with stops touted below 113.00.

Some offers are tipped at 113.90/00 and more above with stops reported above 124.20.

Although trading is fairly hectic in Asia, as financial markets are closed in U.S. (Presidents Day) & Canada, expect choppy trading to continue in European morning before activities turn quiet later in the day.
