EUR/USD - ...... Comments by ECB Council member Christian Noyer who is speaking at the Paris EUROPLACE International Financial Forum in Tokyo said, quote:

'when policy rates go to zero, central banks must resort to unconventional measures to avoid involuntary policy tightening;

very low inflation can aggravate situation because this increases real interest rates;

monetary policy must aim at influencing both nominal rates and inflation expectations;

ECB's purchases of covered bonds, abs will ease bank funding conditions, bring down risk premiums on private assets;

ECB's action on nominal interest rates has been strong and efficient; governing council has unanimously stated commitment to using additional unconventional policy within its mandate if needed to fight low inflation;

governing council made unanimous commitment to protect against misperception ECB is more tolerant of low inflation;

governing council statement on balance sheet size is not a firm commitment but an expectation;

governing council statement on balance sheet is clear indication further policy action will not be limited by quantitative restraints;

communication about balance sheet size can help bring inflation expectations more in line with ECB's definition of price stability;

Japan benefits from high wage flexibility, which helps competitiveness but may increase vulnerability to deflation;

in Europe, nominal wages are rigid and keep growing, which provides protection against deflation risk.'

26 Nov 2014 02:00GMT

USD/JPY-....... Dlr weakened vs the Japanese yen on Tuesday after volatile sessions. Although price has rebounded after early sell off from 118.57 to 117.70 in Asia due to BoJ meeting minutes n comments from BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda who voiced concerns over the impact of the weaker yen on the economy, price briefly jumped to 118.30 in NY morning after upbeat U.S. Q3 GDP (prelim.).

Later, dlr retreated to 117.72 in NY afternoon following the release of disappointing U.S. consumer confidence and then further to 117.67 in Wednesday's Tokyo morning.

Although intra-day's weakness in Asia suggests choppy trading with mild downside bias remains, sharp fall below 117.36 (Fri's reaction low from last Thursday's fresh 7-year peak at 118.98) is not envisaged as investors are awaiting the release of a slew of U.S. economic reports in NY morning.

At present, offers are noted at 118.00-10 and then 118.25/30 with mixture of offers and stops emerging just above 118.60.

On the downside, bids are placed at 117.40-30 and around 117.10 with stops located just below 117.00.

Wednesday will see the release of German import prices U.S. GDP and CBI distributive trades, U.S. core PCE, durables, personal income, Chicago PMI, University of Michigan sentiment, new home sales, pending homes sales change and building permits.

26 Nov 2014

EUR/USD - ....... This morning the single currency pared early losses as release of disappointing U.S. consumer confidence in NY morning following upbeat U.S. Q3 GDP (2nd reading) triggered broad-based selling in greenback. Euro rebounded strongly after a brief dip to 1.2402 and then rallied to session highs of 1.2486 b4 retreating to 1.2459 on profit-taking.

As euro has maintained a biddish tone in Asian morning, suggesting buying euro on dips for marginal gain above 1.2500 level is recommended, however, daily outlook remains consolidative and last week's peak at 1.2602 should remain intact today.

Although eco. data from EU countries due out in European morning may have little impact on euro, investors are unlikely to enter large position ahead of the release of a slew of U.S. data in NY morning.

At present this morning, bids was placed at 1.2460/55 and then 1.2440-30 with stops emerging below 1.2410, whilst offers from various accounts are located at 1.2490-00 and near 1.2520 with a mixture of offers and stops emerging above 1.2550.

Last night despite euro's brief drop to 1.2403 in NY morning after the release of robust U.S. GDP data, the single currency subsequently rebounded on dlr's broad-based weakness after the release of much weaker-than-expected U.S. consumer confidence.

Euro then jumped to as high as 1.2486 before easing. Bids were located at 1.2460-50 and more at 1.2430. On the upside, offers were tipped at 1.2485-90 with mixture of offers and stops seen at 1.2500 last night

USD/JPY - ...... Earlier BoJ board member Sayuri Shirai who was speaking in a news conference after meeting with business leaders in Hiroshima (West Japan) said, quote:

'BoJ deployed maximum scale of easing it can deliver on Oct. 31, now need to scrutinise data for time being;

weak Q3 GDP data made me convinced BoJ eased at most appropriate timing on Oct. 31.'

'Japan CPI may slip below 1% for several months, including in Oct;

inflation has slowed more than expected, some indicators also showed fall in inflation expectations;

hard to end deflation once economy slips into it;

BoJ acted last month as central banks cannot leave unattended falls in prices, inflation expectations;

Q3 GDP data showed recovery in consumption slower than expected;

there's a chance Japan's economic growth may turn negative in fiscal 2014 but data since Sept has brightened;

no change in BoJ's stance it won't ease policy incrementally;

won't automatically ease monetary policy just because economy undershoots our expectations;

can't deploy such radical policy like QQE so many times, though only monetary policy can accelerate inflation to 2%;

BoJ's inflation target is a flexible one, not bound by rigid deadline.'

EUR/USD- ...... Euro strengthened against the dlr on Wednesday as despite a brief retreat from 1.2495 to 1.2444 in European morning after dovish comments from ECB's Constancio, the single currency rebounded due to dlr's broad-based weakness after release of a slew of weak U.S. economic data and rallied to 1.2532 in NY morning before retreating.

Yesterday's intra-day rally suggests euro would continue to move inside the near '3-week long' broad range of 1.2357-1.2602 and stronger gain toward 1.2565/75 is likely to be seen later today .

Bids are placed at 1.2490-80 and around 1.2470/65 with stops emerging below 1.2450, whilst offers are located at 1.2525/30 and then 1.2545/50 with stops located just above 1.2550.

28 Nov 2014 02:41GMT

USD/JPY- ....... The greenback jumped above 118.00 level to 118.28 against the yen in Tokyo morning on Friday in reaction to rebound in the Nikkei after plunge in oil prices Thur when OPEC kept oil output unchanged (WTI crude oil price was last seen down $5.09 or 6.91% to $68.60, below $70.0 the first time since May 2010) which would benefit the Japanese economy as importer of energy.

As dlr's strong rebound from yesterday's low at 117.24 n the subsequent move back above 118.00 suggest correction from last Thursday's 7-year peak at 118.98 has ended there, buying dlr on dips is favoured as dlr may head towards 118.98 next week.

At present, bids are noted at 118.00-117.90 and around 117.70 with mixture of bids and stops located just below 117.50.
