Market Overview by FXCC July 26 2012

Markets take a breather.

Stock markets were in a somewhat more encouraging mood yesterday during day. Currency markets were dumping the USD in favor of a broad basket of other currency crosses including the euro, A$ and CAD among others. Equity markets are feeling the love with all European benchmarks enjoying a positive lift albeit across a wide range from the FTSE100’s small gain to a 2% rise in Spain. US markets ended fairly flat after housing data disappointed. The bond safe havens are getting marginally dumped with yields on US, Canadian and German 10s rising while yields on Spanish and Italian 10s are moving slightly away from the abyss. Commodity markets are also enjoying a lift with most major categories gently bid.

One possible rationale for a more positive risk-on market bias this morning can be traced to comments by ECB council member Ewald Nowotny. Nowotny remarked that there are “pro arguments” to be made for granting the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) a banking license which is significant because theoretically it would give it access to the ECB window and thus be a back door approach to further policy easing beyond the ESM’s current funding limitations. I would think Germany and the Bundesbank roots to the ECB would remain steadfastly opposed to this policy option given long run inflation considerations but also given the danger that it could well hand the keys to monetary policy over to a much more politicized institution that could derail the ECB’s policy credibility over the long run.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Technicals are bearish, but risk reward is poor. A close above 1.2163 would be temporarily bullish. The dip didn’t quite make 12000 but today’s rally triggers an intraweek reversal and is enough for me turn bullish against the low 12040. There is no guarantee of course that a low is in place but there is enough evidence to act. RSI failed to break below 30 at the most recent low, which is often a sign that the trend has exhausted. 12110 is support. Supports are seen at the key 1.2110 level, followed by 1.2053 levels and resistance levels are seen at the 10-DMA line at 1.2204, 1.2230 and then at 1.2282.

The downside is favored below 78.05 The pair has broken out of a descending channel and is expected to fall to targets in the region of 77.65 and then 77.30. It has reached the 61.8% Fibonacci and so there is a possibility of a recovery with the next target at the trend-line again at 78.40. A move lower, however, would have to breach the 78.05 level.

Market Overview by FXCC July 27 2012

ECB's Draghi's vow to save the monetary union sends markets climbing.

Concerns are also growing about global growth. The IMF said in a report today that China's slowing economy faces significant downside risks and relies too much on investment. While the economy “seems to be undergoing a soft landing”. US stocks advanced ahead of a report that may show demand for new homes rose in June and amid concern Spain may need a full bailout as Europe's debt crisis worsens. Broadcom Corp rose 2.6% after it forecast third- quarter sales that may beat analysts' estimates. And as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said policy makers will do everything in their power to ensure a survival of the Euro.

Apple Inc. fell 4.7% in Germany after reporting profit and sales that missed analysts' projections. Netflix Inc. dropped 17% after it raised doubts about whether it can meet its user-growth targets this year. Japanese stocks fell, with the Topix Index posting its biggest four-day drop since August, as the Yen traded near an 11-year high against the euro amid concern Europe's debt crisis is worsening. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 1% today as Greece's creditors met to assess how far the debt-stricken nation has strayed from bailout terms Weakness in the euro became more evident throughout the day, as investors lost confidence in any results from the EU Summit and their grand plan, markets want action to help correct today's problems, not plans for the future, when their maybe no EU or euro.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Technicals are bearish, but candlesticks suggest momentum is turning. The close at 1.2288 opens up a test to 1.2455; however the risk reward remains poor. The anticipated reversal has materialized in the EURUSD and we can now focus on how far the rally is likely to extend, the 1.23 level is an important psychological number. Supports are seen at 1.2200, 1.2118 and then at 1.2100 and, resistance levels are seen at 1.2334 and then at 1.2401. Yesterdays movements have indicators and oscillators behind, this is a good sit it out situation.

The outlook shows a downward movement towards the 1.5550 zone of support. A rise above 1.5700 may lead to a test of the 1.5730 resistance level. Supports are seen at 1.5600, 1.5500 and then at 1.5458 and resistance levels are seen at 1.5738 and then at the 200-DMA line at 1.5747.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Technicals continue to read bearish and suggest further downward movement, despite consolidation in the past two sessions. Trading is in the narrow range of 78.243 and 78.054 at the time of writing. The pair is likely to fluctuate within the resistance level of 78.404 and the support level of 77.942. After the break of 79.00 the short-term bias is to the downside towards the 77.65 level. In the long term, however, we expect a bullish scenario: a test of the 83.00 resistance level. Supports are seen at 77.94/65 and then at 77.36 and resistance levels are seen at 78.28 and then at 78.54.

EUR/USD around 1.2250, the ECB has come

Despite London session ahead will bring almost no macro data EUR related but EU PPI at 09:00 GMT, today will be a busy day mainly focused on Spain with Italian PM Monti traveling to Madrid to meet Rajoy according to newspaper elpais.com, Spanish unemployment change at 07:00 GMT, and most importantly, Spanish Tesoro selling up to € 3B in different maturities from 2 to 10 years, with last 10 year bond yielding 6.43% in last auction, and closing yesterday at 6.72% after 4 day fall from euro era highs at 7.74% one week ago.

But that will only be an introduction to main risk event of the week for Euro, with ECB meeting delivering the interest rate statement at 11:45 GMT followed 45 minutes later by very much awaited Draghi's speech, which will confirm or deny the expectations created past week with his words.

On the other side, brake of next resistance at 1.5583 (R1) might lead to the development of correction with next intraday target at 1.5654 (R2).

Brake here is required to enable higher target at 78.82 (R3). On the other hand, decrease of the price below next support level at 78.31 (S1) would suggest target at 78.12 (S2) and any further loss then will be limited by final support at 77.92 (S3).

EUR/USD frozen; NFP the name of the game

London session ahead will be a quiet one in EUR macro data terms, with only some PMI figures coming from Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the UE at 07:13, 07:43, 07:48, 07:53, and 07:58 respectively, all GMT, followed by UE retail sales at 09:00 GMT, with no critical auctions from the EZ sovereign front. Spain's 10 year bond yields had yesterday biggest boost of all year going from as low as 6.6% to 7.25% highs, while Italian ones also skyrocketed above the 6.2%, while German ones plummeted again below the 1.3%, thus making risk premiums widen.

But the name of the game today is called the US NFP, which is played at 12:30GMT, and that's what everybody will be waiting for, with expectations for the figure to be around the 100k, and unemployment rate to be unchanged at 8.2%, with anything below that being a bell ringing for Bernanke's next QE3. US ISM non-manufacturing PMI will also capture traders eyes as it will probably bring more volatility to markets, more even so after decreasing Chinese PMI data, last one today being at 55.6, coming lower than previous.

BoJ may tweak its operations again; no major policy changes

The BOJ is expected to leave its major policies unchanged at the meeting on August 8-9, unless USDJPY declines substantially, says Nomura strategist Yujiro Goto. "We think the Bank may tweak its operation slightly again to make its JGB buying operation easier" he said. This time, two new board members, Mr. Sato and Mr. Kiuchi, will attend the meeting for the first time. "If either or both of the new board members dissent against the governor, USDJPY would likely rise, but only until the market realizes that one or two dissents are unlikely to lead to any imminent radical policy shift" Mr. Goto notes. Nonetheless, "the new board members‟ inflation forecasts are likely to be more pessimistic and, thus, we think it worth watching for any changes to the BOJ's economic and inflation assessments" Nomura strategist adds. Keep an eye on any discussion about BOJ foreign bond buying too, Mr. Goto concluded.

In the European session ahead, the June UK Industrial Production and Manufacturing data will be risk event for GBP, due for release at 08:30 GMT. Later in the day, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research GDP Estimate is scheduled for release at 14:00 GMT. (fxstreet.com)

UK inflation report should keep GBP under pressure

The Inflation Report, due out at 9.30GMT today, has potential to influence the near-term GBP outlook, says RBS strategy team. "While the MPC will not want to be backed into a corner on cutting the base rate ahead of an assessment of the FLS (Funding for Lending Scheme), there should be enough dovish sentiment to keep GBP under pressure" RBS notes.

A quiet session ahead in London in terms of EUR macro data related, starting at 06:00 GMT with German current account and trade balance, followed 30 minutes later by French BoF business sentiment, and trade balance 15 minutes after, Spanish industrial production at 07:00 GMT, and probably most important, German industrial production at 10:00 GMT. In the sovereign debt front Germany will auction up to € 4B in 10 year bunds at 06:00 GMT, with 10 year yields on the rise since record lows at 1.12% on July 23, last at 1.48%. (fxstreet.com)

BOJ: no change in policy

The BoJ monetary policy decision is out and as most participants expected - not a clear cut as in previous months - , the central bank has kept the asset purchase fund at 45 trillion yen, with the credit Loan program also unchanged at 25T yen. Total size of Asset-Purchase Program remains at Y70 trillion. Central bank statement said economy picking up moderately. The Japanese GDP figures will be released next week.

Looking at the economic agenda for the London session ahead one should think another quiet session is around the corner, though with such extreme low liquidity given summer time holidays in Europe and London Olympics in the middle of the final series, any unexpected headline coming from nowhere could make things change in the blink of an eye. Still, no major sovereign debt auctions are scheduled from the EZ, and troubled countries Spain and Italy's 10y yields stay on check right below the 7% in the Spanish case and right below the 6% for his Latin neighbor.

RBA outlook for growth continues around trend with inflation on target

The RBA’s quarterly update on financial markets and the economy held few surprises for the market, says NAB economist Robert Henderson. To summarize the report, Robert reports: "The RBA expects some moderation in growth in the second half the 2012 after strong growth in the first half (at least as measured by GDP) and then the economy growing at trend ahead. At the same time, inflation has bottomed but is expected to travel within the target band out to the end of 2014."

As it has been usual in the recent past, Fridays don't bring any critical EZ sovereign debt auctions to take place, and London session ahead will again be a quiet one in terms of EUR macro data related, despite the bunch of minor figures will be released, starting with German CPI and HCPI at 06:00 GMT, followed 45 minutes later by French industrial,manufacturing production, and Gov budget balance, and Italian CPI at 08:00 GMT. The UK will deliver PPI figures at 08:30 GMT which could bring some volatility to cross EUR/GBP. (fxstreet.com)

USD, from here to eternity - UBS

The US Dollar is likely to remain the world's reserve currency over the next fifty years, says Mansoor Mohi-uddin Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy at UBS Macro Research. "This eternity forecast could be derailed if a deadlocked Congress refused to raise America's debt ceiling, yet, in the absence of the US government defaulting in future, the dollar's dominance may prove surprisingly durable" Mr. Mohi-uddin said in a research note.

London session ahead has almost no EUR macro data related, with only German wholesale price index at 06:00 GMT, followed by French current account 45 minutes later, and Greek prelim 2Q GDP at 09:00 GMT. Little bit busier in the sovereign debt auctions front, Germany will sell up to € 4B in 6 month bills at 06:00 GMT, while Italy will auction up to € 8B in 12 month bills.
