. EUR/USD - 1.2691... Although Fri's close near the day's low pressured the single currency in Asia on Mon, price briefly weakened to a fresh 22-month trough of 1.2664 just ahead of European open, short-covering lifted the pair to 1.2715 in NY morning b4 coming off to 1.2678 b4 moving sideways in NY afternoon.

. Looking at the hourly & daily charts, although said Mon's low at 1.2664 was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on the hourly indicators, as long as 1.2725/28 (prev. sup, now res) holds, the MT downtrend fm May's 2-1/2 year peak 1.3995 is en route to next chart obj. at at 1.2661 (Nov 13 2012 low), however, reckon 1.2600 (2.236 times extension of 1.3995-1.3503 measured fm 1.3700) wud hold on 1st testing ahead of Thur's ECB policy meeting n bring a much-needed minor correction. On the upside, a daily close abv 1.2765 wud be the 1st signal temporary low is made n yield stronger gain twd 1.2816, however, res at 1.2901 (last week's high on Tue) shud remain intact. In view of abv bearish analysis on euro, selling euro on recovery is the way to go.

. Today, we're holding a short position for one more fall but profit shud be taken on subsequent decline.

02 Oct 2014

GBP/USD - ...... Cable swung wildly in Wednesday's session as despite falling to a fresh 2-week low of 1.6161 after release of downbeat U.K. mfg PMI in European morning, short-covering together with broad-based selling in greenback after downbeat U.S. data lifted price to 1.6252 in NY before retreating to 1.6173 on renewed cross-selling in sterling.

Later, price edged higher after NY closing and recovered to 1.6199 in Aust. and 1.6206 in Asian morning.

The overnight rebound after holding above yesterday's low of 1.6161 suggests range trading is likely until European open, however, investors should pay attention to the release of U.K. Markit construction PMI at 08:30GMT.

In addition, investors should also closely watch the intra-day move of eur/gbp cross as yesterday's recovery after failing to penetrate Tuesday's 2-year low at 0.8766 may triggered broad-based short covering and pressure price here later in the day.

Bids are noted at 1.6185/80 and around 1.6170 with mixture of bids and stops at 1.6150/45 and further out at 1.6130.

On the upside, offers are placed at 1.6220-30 and then 1.6240/45 with stops emerging just above 1.6260.

Data to be released on Thursday:

China market holiday, Australia new home sales, exports, imports, trade balance, UK construction PMI, EU producer prices, ECB rate decision, U.S. jobless claims, ISM New-York index, durable goods and factory orders.

06 Oct 2014 01:01GMT

GBP/USD- ..... Cable came under renewed selling pressure at NZ open today on bearish comments by U.K. Business Secretary Vince Cable.

Bloomberg reported Vince Cable said U.K.'s economic growth is being hampered by stalled exports, partly as a result of the high value of sterling.

"Arguably, the pound is overvalued by 10 to 15% on a trade-weighted basis," Cable told a side meeting yesterday at his Liberal Democrat party's annual conference in Glasgow, Scotland. "This feeds back into monetary policy. It is a significant problem that we can't directly address."

His comments echo those of BoE Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent, who said in an interview in July that it's "quite possible" the pound is 10% overvalued n its strength may have a long-lasting impact on inflation. The IMF said the same month in its External Stability Report that the pound was overvalued by 10% to 15%.

Sterling is nursing loss in subdued Asian trading after opening lower in NZ on w/end bearish comments by U.K. Bus. Secretary Vince Cable. Short-term specs sold cable at Mon open on stop hunting, price briefly fell below Fri's 1.5953 low to a near 1-year trough of 1.5943 (Reuters), however, lack of follow-through selling later lifted the pound at Asian open.

Although range trading is in store in quiet Asian morning, Fri's sell off below Sept's 1.6052 low suggests signals recent decline has once again, so selling cable on recovery is the way to go. Order board is pretty empty, some offers are noted at 1.5980/890 n more abv with stops touted abv 1.6050. Some bids are noted at 1.5945-35. The only data due out at London open is Halifax house price at 07:00GMT.

EUR/USD - ..... The single currency continued to swing wildly in Tuesday's volatile trading. Despite staging a rebound from Asian low at 1.2605 to 1.2665 in Europe, offers below previous day's 1.2675 high checked intra-day gain n euro bears gave the apir another bashing after downbeat German industrial orders, euro fell to session lows of 1.2584 after tripping stops below 1.26000, however, renewed buying emerged n helped price ratchet higher in choppy fashion to a high of 1.2682.

Although st specs bot euro due to renewed dlr's weakness in yen ahead of Asian open n pushed price to 1.2683, another round of selling quickly emerged at Asian open n pressured euro to 1.2633 ahead of Tokyo lunch session.

Looks like we have seen an intra-day high for now n consolidation with downside bias is seen until European open. No eco data is due out today, so order flows would influence intra-day price movement. Offers are tipped at 1.2650/55 n more above with some stops touted above 1.2690. Some bids (not large) are reported at 1.2610-00 and more with stops below 1.2580, suggesting euro would remain under pressure in the near term.
