Greece one step away from bailout payment

According to the German finance ministry, Greece has completed 21 out of the 22 measures required by the international lenders in exchange for the next bailout payment. The country still has to implement the “mobility scheme” which involves a transfer or dismissal of 12,500 public workers within a year. The measure is expected to be fulfilled until tomorrow. Ryan Littlestone from ForexLive believes that the Troika will finally approve the next bailout payment for Greece, despite the impediments: “Seeing as they've never backed down from hand over cash to Greece there's little chance of this episode failing.”

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Upwards scenario: Recent price acceleration on the upside suggests short-term positive bias. Possible penetration above the resistance level at 1.3230 (R1) is liable to open way towards to our initial targets at 1.3248 (R2) and 1.3264 (R3). Downwards scenario: Risk of price depreciation is seen below the support level at 1.3197 (S1). A fall below it might prolong medium-term weakness towards to next support at 1.3180 (S2) and any further market decline would then be targeting final support at 1.3162 (S3).

Upwards scenario: A violation of next resistance at 1.5352 (R1) might call for a run towards to next target at 1.5375 (R2) and any further appreciation would then be limited to final target at 1.5397 (R3). Downwards scenario: Possible downside expansion is limited to the next support level at 1.5324 (S1). Break here is required to open way towards to initial targets at 1.5301 (S2) and 1.5278 (S3).

Upwards scenario: Possible upwards formation is limited to resistive measure at 100.06 (R1). A break above it would suggest next intraday target at 100.18 (R2) and if the price holds its momentum we can expect price increase towards to final resistance at 100.30 (R3). Downwards scenario: In order to prolong downside extension, USDJPY should successfully retest our support level at 99.86 (S1). Below it locates our intraday targets at 99.74 (S2) and 99.62 (S3).

What does Japan CPI rise mean for the BoJ?

In a clear sign of temporary victory by 'Abenomics' radical policies, Japan printed the sharpest rise in core inflation in almost 5 years, with the read out at +0.4% y/y vs 0.3% exp. The rest of indicators were also encouraging. ne of the top priorities by Japan is to end a 15-year deflation cycle, so that the country can start to develop a self-sustaining recovery. In large part, this is the main reason behind the radical ultra-loose monetary policy being currently deployed by the BoJ, which has committed to double the amount the central bank purchases in Japanese government debt. The country will continue to actively assess how these increases in price pressure - still minimal - are having an impact on the mindset of the population, potentially leading to support more credit, spending and rise in salaries. However, as IFR Markets Editor Amanda Tan notes, "a planned sales tax hike in April next year - from 5% to 8% - poses a downside risk to spending & sentiment, particularly if wages don't start to rise."

Upwards scenario: USDJPY gained momentum on the downside and likely will close on the negative territory today. However clearance of our next resistive structure at 98.94 (R1) would open way towards to our initial target at 99.11 (R2) and any further market rise would then be targeting 99.29 (R3). Downwards scenario: On the other side, a dip below the initial support level at 98.53 (S1) is liable to trigger protective orders execution and drive market price towards to supportive means at 98.38 (S2) and 98.21 (S3).

Japan's PM Abe rethinks sales tax hike; inflation case strengthens?

Japan's most significant fiscal reform in years, that is, a planned hike from 5% to 8% in sales tax by April 2014, faces the prospects of being delayed or watered down as concerns mount the tax increase may do more harm than good to the delicate economic recovery in the country. According to a report from Reuters earlier on Monday: "PM Abe says he will decide in the autumn whether to proceed with the first part of the two-stage plan after gauging the state of the economic recovery, especially GDP data that is due on Sept 9."

Upwards scenario: Market took a breath after last days gains.

RBA Stevens speech recap: Still some scope to ease after last CPI

Governor of the RBA, Glenn Stevens, is giving his annual speech to The Anika Foundation Luncheon in Sydney, and some explosive comments are now crossing the wires. The topic of the speech is current issues in economic policy. According to RBA's Stevens, long rise in mining investment is now over, saying that coming fall could be "quite big". Stevens said that easing is working to shift investors to taking some more risk, adding that shift in risk taking not yet a serious impediment to further policy easing. Stevens remained dovish on his tone, saying that "still has some scope to ease after inflation data." On the Aussie value, Stevens wouldn't be surprised if it falls further, as "the fall makes economic sense."

Break here is required to achieve higher targets at 1.3288 (R2) and 1.3304 (R3) later on today.

Downwards scenario: On the other side, depreciation below the support barrier at 1.5215 (S1) might provide sufficient space for the recovery action.

Mixed data spur controversies on Chinese PMI data restrictions

Last month, the National Bureau of Statistics restrained industry-specific data upon publication of Purchasing Manufacturing indexes. Under the premise implying not enough resources were available to make such analysis public, the Chinese opted to suspend relevant information indicative of this year’s economic performance. As stated by the vice president of the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, “We now have 3,000 samples in the survey, and from a technical point of view, time is very limited — there are many industries, you know”. While Chinese provide zero point zone explanations, speculation concerning the reasons behind such measures continues to surge.

Downwards scenario: On the other hand, clearance of our support at 98.11 (S1) is required to determine negative intraday bias and enable lower target at 97.90 (S2) and then any further market depreciation would suggest final support at 97.69 (S3).

Downwards scenario: Further recovery phase is limited now to the next supportive barrier at 98.65 (S1). Only loss here would enable our intraday targets at 98.50 (S2) and 98.34 (S3) on the downside.

AUD/USD rallies initially after RBA, but a lot of resistance looms

The AUD/USD came into the RBA decision very oversold and ready squeeze the bears. Despite the initial pop, technicians say there’s plenty of resistance to conquer before the bulls take control of the macro picture. The initial positive reaction following the RBA’s 25 basis point rate cut appears to be the market weeding out those shorts who were banking on a 50 basis point cut. While nobody knows exactly how much money was being bet against the AUD/USD, but the mercilous selling that led to the extreme oversold readings made it quite apparent that the short-Aussie trade was extremely crowded – and the markets do not treat crowded trades well typically. The good news for bears that were not over-leveraged is that the RBA hinted that they stand at the ready to act further if growth continues to be a problem and inflation remains benign.

Upwards scenario: Despite the current consolidation pattern, EURUSD remains in uptrend formation on the bigger picture.

Downwards scenario: Failure to establish corrective structure might lead to further downtrend evolvement later on today.

GBP/USD fading after failed test of 1.5435 level; BOE report looms

The GBPUSD runs the risk of cascading lower yet again after it ran up to “correction resistance” and failed. The BOE’s inflation report and Mr. Carney’s appearance before Parliament are sure to create a sharp move. The GBP/USD cross rallied sharply on Dollar weakness following Friday’s jobs report in the US. The bullish tone carried over into Sunday night’s open and continued to stair-step higher until just after Britain’s industrial and manufacturing production numbers were released. Shortly after those numbers came out, the GBP/USD began to sell off – this time in a stair-step pattern in the opposite direction. So far, there is still a chance that the latest bit of selling is just a correction lower leading up to the next thrust higher. But, technicians say that a break below 1.5213 would put out any bullish flame.
