AceTraderfx Aug 29 : Dollar strengthens broadly amid escalating tension in Syria

Market Review - 28/08/2013 21:21GMT

Dollar strengthens broadly amid escalating tension in Syria

The greenback climbed against yen and euro on Wednesday due to demand for safe-haven currencies as prospect of Western military actions in Syria increases.

Earlier in Asia, although the greenback extended recent decline versus the Japanese yen to a 2-week low at 96.82 in Australia, the pair staged a rebound in Asia as Japanese stocks pared initial losses, the pair ratcheted higher to 97.60 in Europe and then climbed to 97.84 in New York morning on dollar's broad-based amid Syria tension.

The single currency fell from Asian top at 1.3398 on dollar's broad-based strength and weakened to 1.3336 in European session. Later, despite brief but strong recovery to 1.3373, active cross selling of euro versus sterling pressured the pair below Tuesday's low at 1.3323 to 1.3305 in New York morning before stabilising.

The British pound ratcheted lower in tandem with euro from Australian top at 1.5552 in Asia and dropped to 1.5448 in Europe on cross selling of sterling versus euro. Later, although cable fell to a fresh 2-week low at 1.5430 in New York as soon as BoE Governor Carney began his first public speech, price swiftly rallied to a high of 1.5553 before trading sideways for the rest of the day.

BoE's Carney said 'consider more stimulus if financial conditions tighten, recovery risks falling short of strong growth; upward move in market expectations of BOE rates could, at margin, affect real economy; forward guidance was clear that we would provide more stimulus if necessary; signs are that U.K. recovery is broad-based, set to continue; period of robust growth needed to begin to reduce spare capacity meaningfully; depressed output, temporary inflation factors mean it is right to bring inflation back to target more slowly; nobody should assume 7% unemployment is a trigger for raising rates; BoE to reduce required liquid asset holdings for major banks, building societies meeting 7% capital threshold; liquidity change could lower total required holdings by 90 bln pounds, helping lending.'

On the data front, U.S. pending home sales came in at -1.3% m/m, versus the forecast of -0.5% and the previous -0.4%. U.K. CBI distributive trades came in at 27, better than the forecast of 20.

In other earlier news, BOJ deputy governor Iwata said 'aim to achieve 2% inflation target as soon as possible with 2 year time frame in mind; will continue with QE until inflation stabilizes at 2%; there are signs that prices for goods are bottoming out or starting to rise; if inflation expected to overshoot target then BOJ will not purchases JGBs even if asked by government; increase in inflation expectations can spur consumer spending and demand for foreign currencies and help weaken the yen; decline in real expected interest rates can lead to higher capital expenditure; will take some time for BOJ policy to work, so fiscal policy is needed to support growth; may take 1 or 2 years to see real increase in bank lending due to large cash reserves in corporate sector.'

Data to released on Thursday :

New Zealand ANZ business confidence, Australia HIA new home sales, Japan retail sales, France business climate, Italy consumer confidence, Germany unemployment change, unemployment rate, CPI, HICP, U.K. business barometer, U.S. GDP, jobless claims, personal consumption, PCE core, Canada PPI.

 

AceTraderfx Aug 30 : Dollar strengthens broadly on upbeat U.S. jobless claims and GDP

Market Review - 29/08/2013 21:37GMT

Dollar strengthens broadly on upbeat U.S. jobless claims and GDP

The greenback advanced broadly on Thursday as better-than-expected U.S. jobless claims and GDP data showed U.S. economy is growing with a firm undertone.

Versus the Japanese yen, although the greenback fell from Asian top at 97.91 to 97.45, the rebound in Japanese equities lifted the pair, price rose above 97.91 to 98.27 in Europe due to dollar's broad-based strength and climbed to 98.51 in New York after the release of a slew of better-than-expected U.S. economic data.

U.S. jobless claims came in at 331K, versus the forecast of 332K, whilst GDP came in at 2.5%, also better than the forecast of 2.2%.

The single currency traded narrowly below 1.3345 in Asia and then fell sharply to 1.3253 in European morning on dollar's strength together with the comments from ECB's Rehn as he said 'GDP data confirm beginnings of gradual but still subdued recovery; premature to say the least to pronounce that crisis is over.' The pair eventually extended intra-day weakness to a fresh 1-week low at 1.3220 in New York morning due to the upbeat U.S. economic data before stabilising.

Despite cable's brief rise to 1.5548 in Asian morning, failure to penetrate resistance levels at 1.5553/56 prompted selling in pound, price ratcheted lower to 1.5499 in Europe and then 1.5482 in New York morning before trading sideways for rest of the day.

In other news, ECB's Nowotny said 'deposits at ECB show enormous sums, reflect uncertainty but money markets starting to work; central banks' forward guidance plays role given very low growth rates, high uncertainty.' BOE governor Carney said 'U.K. can't devalue its way to prosperity; raising rates too soon would choke recovery.' EU's Rehn noted unemployment crisis in many EU countries and said 'Germany, France hold key to EU economy rebalancing.'

On the data front, German unemployment change in August increased 7K, more than the expectation of a decline of 5K whilst unemployment rate in Aug remained at 6.8%, same as expectation. Germany CPI came in at 0.0% m/m and 1.5% y/y, versus the forecast of 0.1% and 1.7%. HICP was released at 0.0% m/m and 1.6% y/y, versus the forecast of 0.1% and 1.7% respectively.

Data to be released on Friday:

Japan manufacturing PMI, household spending, unemployment rate, CPI, industrial production, housing starts, Swiss KOF indicator, U.K. nationwide house price, mortgage approvals, Germany retail sales, EU economic sentiment, business climate, consumer confidence, unemployment rate, CPI, Italy unemployment rate , CPI, HICP, PPI, Canada GDP, U.S. personal income, personal spending, PCE index, Chicago PMI and University of Michigan consumer confidence.

 

AceTraderfx Aug 30 : DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK USD/JPY - 98.33

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

30 Aug 2013 01:06 GMT

USD/JPY - 98.33

Yesterday's rally due to dollar's broad-based strength together with active cross-selling in yen confirms early decline from last Friday's near 3-week peak at 99.15 has indeed ended at 96.82 Wednesday and as long as 97.91 (previous res, now sup) holds, consolidation with upside bias for further gain, however, reckon 99.15 top would remain intact today.

On the downside, only a daily close below 97.91 would signal aforesaid near term upmove from 96.82 has made a top yesterday at 98.52 (NY) and risks stronger retracement toward 97.45.

Market Review

01/09/2013 22:24GMT

Dollar rises against euro on upbeat U.S. consumer confidence

The greenback strengthened versus the euro on Friday due to better-than-expected University of Michigan consumer confidence, supporting the view that the Federal Reserve will begin to reduce its stimulus measures in September.

Although the single currency staged a recovery to 1.3255 in Asian morning, active cross selling of euro versus other currencies pressured the pair to 1.3223 in European morning before rebounding to 1.3253. Later, dollar's broad-based strength sent the pair below Thursday's low at 1.3219 and price eventually hit a 4-week low at 1.3173 after the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. University of Michigan consumer confidence (82.1 versus 80.5) before staging a recovery in late New York afternoon session.

Versus the Japanese yen, despite dollar's brief rise to 98.47 at Tokyo open, failure to re-test Thursday's top at 98.52 prompted selling of dollar, price dropped to 98.07 in Asia on the decline in the Japanese Nikkei index afterJapan Finance Minister Aso's comment of implementing the planned sales tax hike next April. Later, cross buying of yen versus euro pressured the pair from 98.39 to a low at 97.89 in European morning but price then rebounded strongly to 98.34 in New York morning on dollar's renewed strength before moving sideways.

Although the British pound edged higher to 1.5528 in European morning, cross selling of sterling versus other currencies pressured the pair to 1.5477. Price later dropped in tandem with euro to intra-day low at 1.5462 in New York morning before staging a recovery near New York close.

On the data front, U.S. Chicago August PMI came in at 53.0, same as the street forecast. U.S. personal income and spending were 0.1% n 0.1% respectively, lower than the forecast of 0.2% n 0.3%.

In other news, ECB's Nowotny said 'forward guidance means markets should not expect rate rise for some time; central issue is inflation expectations, which are stable.'

Dollar pares gains as U.S. legislators backs military action in Syria

The greenback pared its early gains versus yen and euro on Tuesday after U.S. Congressional leaders voiced their support for President Obama's recent call for limited military intervention in Syria. U.S. House speaker Boehner says 'use of chemical weapons in Syria has to be responded to, only the U.S. has the capacity to stop Assad; will support Obama's call for action in Syria, believes colleagues should do the same; U.S. allies need to know America will stand up when necessary.'

Versus the Japanese yen, dollar went through a roller-coaster session on Tuesday, although the pair extended recent gain to 99.68 at Tokyo open due to the rally in Japan's Nikkei index but then retreated to 99.32, price rose marginally higher to 99.70 in European morning but retreated sharply to 99.17 on news that Russian Defence Ministry as it said 'detected two ballistic "objects" fired toward Eastern Mediterranean.'
