AceTraderFx Oct 31: DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major - USD/JPY

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK USD/JPY - 111.30

Update Time: 31 Oct 2014 08:19 GMT

Dollar's intra-day rally above October's peak at 110.09 to a fresh near 7-year high of 111.53 in European morning after BoJ's surprise easing confirms long-term uptrend has resumed and further gain to projected obj. at 111.98 is likely after consolidation, however, o/bot condition should prevent sharp move beyond there today and risk has increased for a much-needed retreat later.

On the downside, only a daily close below 110.09 (previous resistance) would signal a top has been made and yield correction towards 109.47.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

03 Nov 2014 02:39GMT

USD/JPY - ...... Dlr pares initial gain after rising to a fresh near 7-year peak of 113.00/01. The euphoria of broad-based yen-selling continued at Monday's open after Friday's close near the day's high of 112.48 together with the closing of the Dow & S&P 500 at their records highs (Nikkei futures were up 495 points on Fri) boosted risk sentiment even though markets are closed in Japan for Culture Day holiday.

Although dlr opened near said Friday's NY close in NZ, st specs sold the yen broadly, sending dlr to 113.00/01 in Australia, however, price eased to 112.65 on lack of follow-through buying.

Initial bids are reported at 112.50-40 with stops below there, however, more buying interest is noted above 112.00.

On the upside, offers are touted at 112.90/00 with some stops above there. As the w/end release of downbeat China official mfg PMI plus today's release of weaker-than-expected China official non-mfg PMI have not tempered risk sentiment in the yen, buy dlr on dips is the way to go.

The coming week will see the release of following economic data:

Australian building approvals, China NBS non-manufacturing PMI n HSBC manufacturing PMI, German and EU Markit manufacturing PMI, U.K. Markit manufacturing PMI, U.S Markit manufacturing PMI, construction spending, ISM manufacturing employment index and manufacturing PMI on Monday;

Australia's trade balance and retail sales, RBA interest rate decision and statement, U.K. Halifax house price, Markit construction PMI, EU producer prices, U.S. international trade, Canada's exports, imports and trade balance, U.S. Redbook, ISM New York index, factory orders, durable goods on Tuesday;

New Zealand's HLFS unemployment rate, job growth and labour cost index, China's HSBC services PMI, Swiss CPI, German Markit services PMI, U.K. Markit services PMI, eurozone retail sales, U.S. ADP National employment, Markit services PMI, ISM non-manufacturing PMI and employment index on Wednesday;

AceTraderFx Nov 5: Intra-Day News and Views (EUR/USD) & data to be released today

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

05 Nov 2014 02:04GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2553.. Ahead of Thurday's ECB policy meeting, WSJ reported the ultra low inflation becoming entrenched in Europe is playing out in strikingly different ways across the euro zone's 18 economies, complicating attempts to combat it.

In crisis-hit countries such as Greece n Spain, the detrimental effects of falling prices, known as deflation, are showing up clearly in strained profits n lower wages as companies try to adjust. But in healthier economies such as Germany n Austria, where unemployment is low and incomes are up, the most obvious impact is a boost to consumers' purchasing power.

At 0.4% in annual terms, euro zone inflation is far below the ECB's target of close-to 2%. A survey of purchasing managers released this week showed manufacturers cutting prices for a 2nd-straight month. The European Commission on Tuesday forecast inflation in the euro zone will remain below-target until at least 2016.

The ECB meets Thursday n is expected by analysts to refrain from new stimulus, but to keep the door open to dramatic measures such as gov't bond purchases if needed. Officials have signaled that they prefer to wait for recent measures including interest-rate cuts, bank loans n private-debt purchases to take hold before weighing additional steps.

In Asian morning, the euro maintains a firm undertone following yesterday's rally in NY morning to 1.2577. Price traded was above European low at 1.2501 in NY n jumped on Reuters report euro area central bankers were planning to challenge ECB President Draghi's leadership style.

In its exclusive report, Reuters said the bankers are particularly angered that Draghi effectively set a target for increasing the ECB's balance sheet immediately after the policy-making governing council explicitly agreed not to make any figure public, the sources said.

Some members intend to raise their concerns with Draghi at the governors' traditional informal working dinner on Wednesday before their formal monthly rate-setting meeting on Thursday.

Despite the intra-day brief but sharp rise to 1.2577, euro later moved sideways on lack of follow-through buying n retreated to 1.2541.

Range trading was expected to continue in Asia with offers noted at 1.2575/80, stops were reported above there, however, more selling interest was noted at 1.2590/00.

On the downside, initial bids were reported at 1.2545-40 n more below with stops touted below 1.2500.

Pay attention to a slew of eco. data in European morning with Italy's Markit services PMI, then the same fm France, Germany & the euro zone.

Data to be released on Wednesday:

New Zealand's HLFS unemployment rate, job growth and labour cost index, China's HSBC services PMI, Swiss CPI, German Markit services PMI, U.K. Markit services PMI, eurozone retail sales, U.S. ADP National employment, Markit services PMI, ISM non-manufacturing PMI and employment index.
