Market Review - 24/09/2013 22:13GMT

Euro slips on concerns over economic recovery in euro zone

The single currency weakened against the greenback on Tuesday after German sentiment data came in slightly below expectations and comments from ECB officials saying they were prepared to do more to keep interest rates low.

Although the single currency traded sideways in Asia and rose briefly to session high at 1.3519 in early European morning, euro retreated after the release of weaker-than-expected German business climate and dropped to an intra-day low at 1.3464 after comments from ECB's Coeure. However, euro pared intra-day losses and rebounded to 1.3497 in New York morning before stabilising.

Germany Ifo business climate (Sep) came in at 107.7, versus the forecast of 108.0, previous reading is revised to 107.6

ECB's Coeure said 'ECB is committed to make sure liquidity will remain ample; LTRO is part of ECB's instruments.'

Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback rose to session high at 99.18 in European morning after comments from Fed's Dudley yesterday increased speculation that the Federal Reserve could still taper its bond purchases this year. However, dollar met renewed selling there and dropped sharply to an intra-day low at 94.48 in New York morning but only to climb back to 99.01 later in the day due to renewed cross-selling of yen.

The British pound remained under pressure in Asia and dropped sharply in early European morning after the release of weaker-than-expected U.K. mortgage approvals. Price eventually fell to an intra-day low at 1.5955 at New York open, however, cable pared intra-day losses and rebounded to 1.6016 in New York morning.

U.K. BBA mortgage approvals (Aug) came in at 38.2K, vs the forecast of 39.0K, previous reading is revised to 37.4K.

In other news, BoE's Miles said 'degree of slack in U.K economy means monetary policy won't quickly return to normal; market sees unemployment reaching 7% threshold more quickly than he considers likely; idea that guidance has backfired because of better data is "Alice in wonderland, upside down logic"; more confident about path to recovery than at any time since he joined MPC in 2009.'

On the data front, U.S. consumer confidence (Sep) came in at 79.7, worse than the forecast of 80.0, previous reading is revised to 81.8. U.S. Redbook retail sales came in at -0.4% m/m n 3.6% y/y.

Data to be released on Wednesday:

Market Review - 26/09/2013 22:18GMT

AceTraderFx Oct 2 : Dollar pares losses after ISM manufacturing data

Market Review - 01/10/2013 22:10GMT

Dollar pares losses after ISM manufacturing data

The dollar weakened against other major currencies on Monday as concerns over the economic impact of a U.S. government shutdown weighed on investor demand for the greenback, however, data showed that the U.S. manufacturing sector expanded at the fastest rate since April 2011 last month and dollar pared earlier loss in New York trading.

U.S. government went into a partial shutdown after Congress failed to reach a deal on a budget for the new fiscal year. Republicans have insisted on delaying the implementation of President Obama's health care reforms as a condition for passing the budget.

During the day, although the single currency rose to a fresh near 8-month peak at 1.3588 in early European trading, profit-taking pressured price lower from there and euro dropped to 1.3535 after EU's release a lower than previous manufacturing PMI data, then 1.3517 in New York morning on dollar's broad-based rebound before stabilising.

In the eurozone, a report showed that the final reading of the bloc's manufacturing purchasing managers' index came in at 51.1 in September, unchanged from the preliminary estimate, but below August’s 26-month high of 51.4.

Versus the yen, dollar went through another volatile session against the yen on Tuesday. Despite an initial gain to 98.73 on the back of rising Nikkei 225 index in Asia, dollar's broad-based weakness pressured price to a session low of 97.65 in Europe before staging a strong rebound on short-covering. The pair later climbed back to 98.30 in New York morning after release of upbeat ISM manufacturing data before easing and then traded sideways for rest of the session.

The British pound strengthen after finding support at 1.6181 in Asia and then rose above Monday's high of 1.6203 to a fresh 8-1/2 month high of 1.6260 in early European trading before retreating, dollar's broad-based rebound later pushed price lower in New Yok morning and cable fell to 1.6190 before stabilising.

In commodity currency, the Australian dollar rallied after RBA kept monetary policy unchanged on Tuesday, surged from 0.9289 to 0.9435 before profit-taking emerged. RBA kept its rate unchanged at 2.50% and said 'monetary policy appropriate; lower A$ would help economy; see below trend growth continuing in near term; A$ still about 10% below its April level despite recent rise; unemployment rate has edged higher; pace of borrowing still subdued; sees improvement I household n business sentiment though too soon to judge how persistent this will be.'

In other news, BoE's Tucker said 'regular stress testing of U.K. banks would improve BoE supervision, confidence in banks; stress testing would improve BoE's accountability to parliament, create healthy debate about supervision objectives; Basel capital accord could be recast to differentiate between going-concern and gone-concern requirements; banking regulators should address international distribution of losses in a crisis.'

Data to be release on Wednesday:

Australia trade balance, building approvals, U.K. PMI construction, EU PPI, ECB rate decision, U.S. ADP employment.
