. EUR/USD- 1.1835... Euro continued its recent losing streak on Wed after weak EU inflation data. Despite recovering fm Aust.'s 1.1850 low, renewed selling interest at 1.1896 capped intra-day gain in early Europe n euro later tanked to a 9-year trough of 1.1802 in NY morning b4 recovering after FOMC minutes.

. Looking at the bigger picture, euro's early break of major sup at 1.1876 (this was the reaction low made in 2010 fm euro's decline fm its record high of 1.6040 - post-Lehman top made in Jul 2008) confirms aforesaid LT downtrend fm 1.6040 to retrace the entire rise fm 0.8228 record low made in 2000 has resumed n price is en route twd 1.1212 in Q1, being the 'dynamic' 61.8% r of this move.

. Today, as y'day's 1.1802 low was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on the hourly indicators, reckon 1.1775 (61.8% projection of 1.2187-1.1861 fm 1.1976) wud contain downside n yield minor correction. Therefore, we are buying on marginal fall in anticipation of a subsequent rebound to 1.1880. Abv 1.1896 (y'day's European high) signals temporary low is made n yield 1.1940/50.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

13 Jan 2015 01:29GMT

GBP/USD - ...... Cable shrugged off early release of weak U.K. retails sales and rebounded in tandem with euro due to intra-day renewed weakness in the greenback in Asia.

Reuters reported U.K. retail spending growth slowed in December after consumers splashed out on November's "Black Friday" bargains and prices continued to fall broadly, industry data showed on Tuesday.

The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said year-on-year retail spending was 1.0% higher this December than a year ago, the weakest December growth since 2008 and a sharp contrast with November's 2.2% jump.

Falling prices also weighed on spending. Shop prices were down by an average of 1.7% in December compared with 2013, the BRC said last week. Broader official data due for release at 09:30GMT is forecast to show consumer price inflation at a 12-year low of 0.7%.

Taking lower prices into account, retail sales volumes rose an annual 2.6%, the same as in Dec 2013. Retail spending on the BRC's like-for-like measure -- which excludes new stores n more closely reflects how stores report sales to shareholders -- were 0.4% down on the year.

Yesterday although the British pound fell from an intra-day high at 1.5195 to session low at 1.5099 in European morning on dlr's broad-based strength, cable pared its losses n rebounded strongly in tandem with euro to 1.5174 in NY morning. However, price met renewed selling there n retreated to 1.5136, weighed down by cross-selling of sterling vs euro.

Tuesdaywill see the release of Japan's Current Account and Economic Watchers Poll, China's Trade Balance, Exports and Imports, Italy's Industrial Output, U.K.'s BRC Retail sales, CPI, PPI, RPI, U.S. Rebook and Federal Budget on Tuesday.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

13 Jan 2015 03:22GMT

USD/JPY - ...... Reuters just reported Japan's economics minister said on Tuesday the BoJ is unlikely to meet its inflation target next fiscal year because the collapse in oil prices puts downward pressure on consumer prices.

Amari spoke one day after the gov't said it expects overall consumer prices to rise 1.4% in fiscal 2015, well below the BOJ's target of 2% inflation.

His comments are the clearest sign yet that the BOJ will either have to expand monetary policy further to meet its price target on schedule, or possibly allow more time for oil prices to rise.

"Our forecasts show it will be difficult for the BOJ to achieve its price target due to falling oil prices," Amari told reporters.

"Lower oil prices aren't necessarily a bad thing for the economy, but they are a negative factor for the BOJ's price target." It is up to the BOJ to make its own decisions about the outlook for prices, Amari said.

BoJ's purchases of government debt n risk assets helped push down bond yields n initially boosted inflation expectations. However, the outlook for prices started to weaken last year as consumer spending lost momentum after an increase in sales tax. The BOJ has argued that consumer prices would accelerate again due to rising wages n a tight labour market, but this outcome is looking less likely in the face of an oil glut which could push Japan's consumer prices lower. Oil futures are the weakest since 2009.

U.S. dollar briefly dropped to 117.75 in Asian morning due to initial decline in Nikkei-225 index together with Bloomberg reported that the currency's best forecaster says he hasn't recommended selling it in a few months with lower oil prices helping Japan's trade balance.

However, the greenback rebounded on short-covering as Japanese equities pared some of early losses n Nikkei-225 futures turned into +ve territory (currently rose 75 points to 16885).

This morning bids were located at 117.80-75 n more at 117.60 with stops only seen below 117.50. On the upside, offers were tipped at 118.20-30 n 118.40-50.

In other news, Japanese five-year government bond yields fell to zero for the first time on record as central bank easing and slumping commodity prices drive demand for bonds across the globe. A record surplus of deposits over loans at Japanese banks is helping push government bond yields below zero as lenders funneling cash into the safest debt add to demand from the Bank of Japan's bond-buying stimulus.

14 Jan 2015 01:57GMT

USD/JPY - ...... The greenback remained under pressure in Asian morning due to the decline in Nikkei-225 index which fell by 138 points to 16950 following Tuesday's strong retreat in U.S. stock markets. U.S. dollar fell to an intra-day low at 117.50 in Tokyo morning before recovering briefly to 117.82.

Offers are now tipped at 117.80 and more at 118.00.

On the downside, mixture of bids and stops is located at 117.50 but buying interest is noted at 117.30-20.

In other news, Bloomberg reported that "the plunge in the price of oil makes it increasingly uncertain whether the Bank of Japan will reach its 2 percent inflation target in the coming fiscal year, according to people familiar with the central bank's discussions.

The BOJ is considering cutting its price forecast for the year that starts in April, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.

The BOJ is also mulling raising its growth outlook for the same period, the people said."

Wednesday will see the release of Japan's Machine Tool Orders, France's CPI, Italy's CI, euro zone industrial production, U.K.'s CB leading economic index, U.S.'s Exports, Imports, Retail Sales, Business Inventories and Fed's Beige Book.
