MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD didn’t made any significant moves yesterday as it traded in a consolidation mode between the 1.3203 (S1) and 1.3283 (R1) levels. A break below 1.3203 would suggest a target at 1.3156 (S2) and further fall will then focus on 1.3104 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level. On the other hand if the price manages to stay above the first support (S1) level we expect the price to retest 1.3283 (R1) and a break above that level will concentrate our focus on 1.3381(R3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The GBPUSD fell yesterday and was supported at 1.6186 (S1) a strong technical level (correction). The price then rose and was able to break above yesterday's resistance completing a close just above our Fibonacci level 38.2%. We expect the price to move upwards and to retest our resistance levels at 1.6247 (R1) and 1.6301 (R2). A stop loss should be placed at 1.6186 (S1).

The USDJPY moved closer to support levels at 79.65, retested it twice but didn’t manage to break below it. After that, the price rise and was supported at that level. If price will be able to break above today’s first resistance level at 80.65 (R1) would suggest target at 81.04 (R2). On the downside, a break below 80.05 (S1) would suggest target at 79.65 (S2) and further fall will then be limited at 79.13 (S3).

EUR/USD below 1.3150 ahead of ECB

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3145 off session lows at 1.3137, coming lower from NY session highs 1.3167, in a relatively quiet Asia-Pacific session with Tokyo closed for holiday. Local open share markets trade in the red over all, with Shanghai index leading the way lower with some -1.85%. The London session ahead shows a busy agenda though not because of many risk events but because of very key ones, including ECB interest rate statement at 11:45 GMT this time extraordinarily coming from Barcelona, followed by press conference at 12:30 GMT. Also at 09:00 GMT will come EU monthly PPI, but more importantly, two major bond auctions will take place along the European morning, from Spain and France at 08:30 and 08:50 GMT respectively.

Cable is quietly trading within a tight range 1.6207/1.6188 since early NY, last at 1.6195, lower by -0.15% since yesterday's Asia-Pacific open. The pair is down for the week some -0.43% after hitting fresh 7-month highs Monday at 1.6301, now retreating from there with weekly lows yesterday at 1.6162.

Greece expected to leave the Eurozone

Global markets continued to fall, including equities, and commodities as investors were in full risk aversion mode. Traders are moving in droves to the safe harbor, of the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. Political turmoil ranging from France to Greece has upset markets. The EU had stated that they will without the rest of the bailout money from Greece until political issues are resolved. In Spain, the government has had to step in and take over the largest bank, Bankia. Economic worries have spooked markets and forced Spain’s borrowing costs to skyrocket.Gold continues to decline along with oil. Yesterday the EIA release crude oil inventory reports showing that crude oil inventories had continued to rise. In early morning Asian news, equity markets continued to decline, as data released in China showed a continued slowdown, while Australia reported a better the forecast unemployment report.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The euro is weak, having lost close to 0.2% against the USD, but still trading within Wednesdays range. The inability to break below 1.2955 was reassuring for EUR bulls in an environment where most drivers are turning rapidly bearish. Having broken the 1.2955 in yesterday, we will see the bears continue to gain strength. The markets are taking a breather this morning as the euro has recovered to 1.2951 after opening at 1.2927 It seems to be moving down again now and if there is a break below 1.2922 that could lead to an acceleration of the move lower, with support at 1.2818 targeted from both a monthly and a weekly pivot. A recovery on the other hand would most likely see the exchange rate struggle higher to fill the gap at 1.3080.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The 1.6142 line is now fluid, after providing support for the past two weeks. This is followed by the psychologically important support level of 1.60, which could be tested if the dollar continues to rally. Next, 1.5930, which saw a lot of movement by the pair in April, has been providing strong support for the pair. Below, there is support at 1.5805, which also was tested in April. The next support level is 1.5750, which has provided support since mid-March. The final line for now is 1.5648, which was last tested in March. Overall technicals are mixed ‐ indicators that remain bullish are waning, though near term support is found at the 21 day MA-1.6098. Resistance remains at the 9 day MA -1.6189

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Technical are showing bearish ‐ the value of the RSI indicator is negative and declining, MACD is thinly negative and steady, while CCI has crossed down the 100 line on the 1-hour chart, giving over all short signals. A break above yesterday's top and nearest resistance 80.08 would encourage further recovery of the dollar. Immediate support is today's bottom at 79.60, and consistent break below it could strengthen the yen further down towards next target 78.76.

Eco Calendar thin keep an eye on Politics

Global equities continue to retreat despite a decent round of overnight fundamentals, as Greece's high stakes election drama weighs on market sentiment. European equity benchmarks are lower and Dow futures are suggesting a tiny drop at the market open. Global currency markets are divided with the A$, NZ$, pound sterling and CAD all up against the USD while the won, Scandinavian currencies and the rand are all lower and the euro is flat. Most European debt markets are rallying or are flat across 10s except for UK 10s that were disappointed by flat stimulus from the BoE.

Solid European manufacturing data didn’t much help the global market tone. French manufacturing production climbed 1.4% m/m and far surpassed consensus expectations for a small drop, even as total industrial production fell thanks to lower electricity and gas production following the prior month’s massive gain in this category. Italian manufacturing also climbed 0.5% and surpassed expectations. UK manufacturing production climbed 0.9% m/m which nearly doubled consensus. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is sticking to her guns and good for her. She reiterated this morning that deficit financed stimulus to growth is a misguided path, and that austerity is the only solution. This continues to put the Franco-German partnership on a collision course over the summer. In the US yesterday data was received with mixed sentiment. Chairman Bernanke’s speech was market neutral. Chinese data has been lackluster, but not market movers.

EU Finance Ministers call for Emergency Meeting.

Markets continue to reel over European uncertainties as they open the week in risk-aversion mode. Greece was unable to form a government over the weekend, and will go back to the polls to try to elect new parties. Spain’s ongoing financial woes and growing worries over the banks in Spain also weigh on the markets. The US dollar and the Japanese Yen, continue to maintain strength as investor’s park funds in safe havens. Gold and crude oil continue to fall, as most USD denominated currencies cannot support the high dollar at present. Even gold trading under the 1600 price is too expensive with the current dollar value. The early part of the week, is thin on eco data, but should be big in political drama as the EU Finance Ministers have called an Emergency meeting today to discuss the future of Greece.

Hollande Sworn in as President of France Today

Today, French President elect Hollande will be sworn into office. Over the next few weeks he will build a government, in the meantime he will appoint an temporary government. These appointments should give us some insight into his economic and financial plans and thoughts.The negative sentiment from the eurozone colors the global markets, as risk aversion remains the mode. With the leadership and the direction of the EU in question and the ongoing turmoil in Greece and increasing debt problems in Spain, markets are worried about who and how the eurozone will attempt to control and turn around the future of Europe. Data out this week might show that the eurozone has slipped back into recession. The overflow of the eurozone declining economic situation is harming its neighbors around the globe from China to the US. Commodities continue to fall, especially those that are USD denominated. The yen is reaching historical highs, which is a difficult situation for Japan. The USD still remains strong. Greece either leaving or being ousted from the euro becomes more likely each passing day.

The euro continues to plunge

While the broad sentiments prevailing in the market continue to be bearish, commodities and shares were seen rising following a rebound in euro. Recovery in Euro from a four month low after a surprisingly strong German GDP data took the pressure off the market and slightly lifted the sentiments. German economy grew 0.5 per cent in the first quarter against the expectation of 0.1 per cent. Euro Zone GDP data indicated that the region avoided recession though the economy continued to remain fragile. However, the overall sentiments were feeble on deepening worries over euro zone crisis and political uncertainty in Greece. Shortly after the exhilaration wore off the euro began to plummet hitting new recent lows to trade at this time at 1.2724.

Market mood continue to remain skeptical as investors fretted about the possibility of a Greek exit from the Euro zone. Financial markets would be fervently watching out for political events in Europe for further cues. With Europe reeling under both financial and political strain, all eyes are on today’s meet between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and new French president Francois Hollande. US eco data was neutral, with retail sales coming in soft.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The Euro fell to quickly in Asian trading to validate the downtrend it also has pushed indicators and oscillators to their maximum reading, Current reading are miscued. We will have to re-evaluate numbers and movement later today. The price action on Monday was negative, and the fact that the 1.29 level finally gave way we showed support had been broken. The 1.29 was the last remnant of the support level in our view. The 1.26 level looks to be the next major support level, and although there will be bounces along the way, the headlines should continue to punish the Euro going forward. However, this pair will more than likely continue to be choppy. We would sell rallies on signs of failure, and a break below the Monday lows.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The current bout of risk aversion this week does not turn into panic; the GBP/USD has a chance to pop up toward the 1.6160 pivot in any short-term bout of risk appetite or stabilization. The next resistance above 1.6160 is a declining trend line which should meet price in the 1.6250-1.6280 area. Technicals all remain bearish with support at 1.6000, though downside set to continue. This morning’s surge has pushed the GBP below the psychological 1.60 price level. Support can be found at 1.58543 and 1.56722

Negative Sentiment and Risk Aversion Continue

Positive US economic data failed to lift markets. While US April housing starts were higher and industrial production rebounded, US markets sold off as the trading session continued, slipping on news that the ECB might cut funding to Greek banks. US equity indices were down by roughly 0.5% while Canadian equities performed somewhat more strongly. WTI fell by US$1.30 to close at $92.68 and the DXY was up moderately on the session. For a full write-up of today’s US and Canada economic data releases, please see the Economic Data Recap section below.

The Fed released the minutes from its April 24-25 meeting today, and they are making headlines for reasons that we find hard to discern. The minutes included the sentence “several members indicated that additional monetary policy accommodation could be necessary if the economic recovery lost momentum or the downside risks to the forecast became great.” Minutes from the March 13 meeting said “A couple of members indicated that the initiation of additional stimulus could become necessary if the economy lost momentum or if inflation seemed likely to remain below its mandate-consistent rate of 2 percent over the medium run.” Market sentiment will remain negative towards Europe and the continued sell off of European assets is ongoing. Without some positive news or results in Greece, with lack of overall guidance by the EU and continued worries about Spain, the current situation is expected to hold.

Asian Markets Tumble on worries over Greece

Asian stocks are getting hammered in this morning’s session as they react to Greece’s debt downgrade and the Spanish banks’ downgrade by rating agencies Fitch and Moody’s. The euro has also given up all of its gains from Thursday and is lower by 0.20% in the morning trade.

On the economic front, we have the Producer Prices from Germany, which are expected to decline to 0.30% and could be slightly negative for the euro. There are no major data releases from the U.S. Today’s market fluctuations will be in response to Greece, Spain and the EU, with little on the eco front worldwide, the press and media will be digging for news and events. Watch for rumors and misquotes on days like today.
