US Durable Goods Orders Fell Unexpectedly

Trading at Forex on Monday was calm amid almost empty calendar and lack of any significant events on most major currencies. The dollar fell a little after the release of a weak Durable Goods Orders report but then recovered its losses. Durable Goods Orders in the USA slumped unexpectedly in July by 7.3% compared with the prior month to $226.6 bln while a drop only by 3.6% was expected.

US Durable Goods Orders

The decrease was mainly due to the fall of aircraft orders. Durable Goods Orders Ex Transportation dropped by 0.6% against the expected growth by 0.5%. Capital Goods Orders Non-Defense Ex Aircrafts – a key indicator of business investment – decreased by 3.3% in July compared with the prior month after previous 5-month growth. At the same time a less significant Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index grew up to 5.0 in August against 4.4 in July while its drop was expected.

Jackson Hole Economic Symposium ended past weekend. This time it didn’t attract much attention as no governors of major central banks joined it. According to many experts at the summit, the desire of Fed leaders who were present at the meeting to finish asset purchasing the sooner the better was felt. The Fed seems to be still intended to reduce QE in September. Although September decrease is likely to be less than expected before – not $20 bln from current $85 bln a month but $10 bln.

The euro and the pound were traded at a narrow range and closed almost unchanged. There were no any statistics in Europe and it was a day-off in the UK. ECB board member and German Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said on Monday that the ECB, in his opinion, wouldn’t keep interest rates at low for several years.

Weidmann again opposed buying bonds of problem euro-zone countries by the ECB having called it redistribution of risks of unsound budgetary policy to all euro-zone states. ECB President Mario Draghi announced a year ago that the ECB was prepared to buy unlimited quantities of government bonds of such countries on the secondary market – and it turned out enough to calm down financial markets.

New Zealand dollar had almost no reaction towards bad trade balance data and closed the day with a slight growth after 5-day decrease in a row. For the first time in six months trade balance has dropped below zero and has amounted to 774 million NZD. The exports grew by 4.8% at an annual rate while the imports rose by 17% - mainly due to aircraft and oil products imports increase. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its AA long-term foreign currency rating on the country and said the rating outlook was stable.

Escalating conflict around Syria led to the growth of defensive assets

Escalating conflict around Syria led to the growth of defensive assets such as the yen, franc and gold; and to escaping from risky currencies such as AUD, NZD and also currencies of developing countries. Daily decrease of the euro Vs the yen on Tuesday turned out the lowest for past eight weeks. The dollar also lost about 1.5% Vs yen having reached the lowest level against Japanese currency for seven days. Swiss franc took the second honorable place in Tuesday leaders rating.

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry said on Monday that there was an incontestable evidence of using chemical weapon by Syrian authorities against the rebels, which may serve a motive for military intervention into the country.

US Dollar Rose on Wednesday

The US dollar was traded upwards on Wednesday against most major currencies despite some decrease of housing market data. The dollar was in demand as a defensive asset amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and fears of military actions against Syria. According to some data the attacks on selected targets in Syria with cruise missiles can be made on the night of Thursday to Friday. U.S. Defense Secretary said earlier that the U.S. military is ready to act and waits for the president’s order. Meanwhile, the officials of Syria provided UN inspectors with the evidence of non-use of chemical weapons.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) - Pending Existing Home Sales Index fell by 1.3% compared with the prior month to 109.5 in July while a slight growth was expected.

Retail sales in Italy also turned out a little worse than expected and dropped by 0.2% m/m in June against the expected growth by +0.1%.

The pound recovered almost all its losses of the day after the speech of the Bank of England governor Mark Carney which seemed to the market participants less inclined to soft monetary policy than it was expected. Carney said that there were signs of optimism on the back of a large-scale British economic recovery. He promised further measures on stimulating of the economy should be done if rising interest rates threaten its still weak recovery.

The Bank of England will soften requirements concerning the liquidity for banks. Besides, Carney marked that reaching 7% unemployment didn’t guarantee an automatic increase of interest rates – the Bank of England would also consider other factors. Retail sales growth data also supported the pound. CBI Realized Sales in August reached its high since November, 2012 at +27 Vs +17 in July having significantly exceeded the forecast of +20.

The Australian dollar updated more than 3-week low on Wednesday against the US dollar amid other Asian currencies decrease because of growing fears of soon attack on Syria. Besides, Construction Work Done in Australia fell by 0.3% in the second quarter against the expected growth by 1%.

US GDP Growth Accelerated in the Second Quarter

The US dollar showed a significant growth on Thursday, the highest for almost 4 weeks according to the dollar index after the publication of strong US GDP data for the second quarter and weak German data. US Unemployment Claims decreased by 6 thousand last week to 331 thousand, which almost coincided with the expectations (332 thousand). It signals improvement at the US labor market.

According to the US Department of Commerce GDP Second Release for the second quarter was raised up to 2.5% at an annual rate against the initial release of 1.7%. The reading was expected to rise only to 2.2%. Growth rates acceleration was caused mainly by the upwards revision of exports and capital investments. Consumer spending was remained unchanged and public spending decreased more than estimated at first and remained the main source of pressure on economic growth.

The USA and Euro-Zone quarterly GDP growth rates

FOMC Member Jeffrey Lacker said on Thursday that the Fed jeopardized its independence using its balance to support certain industries. Labour market has improved significantly since the beginning of the last bond purchase round and it is a good argument to start reducing the purchase, he said.

The euro reached 2-week low on Thursday Vs the dollar amid a weak report on German labour market, which leveled the reports that showed improvement of French Business Confidence and Italian Consumer Confidence. Unemployment Change in Germany grew by 7 thousand in August against the expected decrease by 5 thousand. German annual inflation dropped for the first time in four months and accounted for 1.5% in August Vs 1.9% in July, which turned out lower than forecasted 1.7%.

The pound also weakened moderately but it was traded a little better than the euro. The Bank of England chairman Mark Carney said on Thursday that devaluation of the currency was not a way to prosperity. He added a fledgling recovery in the U.K. economy appears to have "some life".

The yen fell amid a weak retail sales report. Retail sales in Japan dropped by 1.8% in July compared with June, which exceeded the expected decrease by 1.3%. Also the yen decrease was influenced by some weakening of tensions around the situation in Syria after the US president Barack Obama had said that he hadn’t made a decision on Syria military attack yet and had no desire to involve the country into long-term conflict. The probability of the operation against Syria has slightly fallen recently as the UK and France expressed their desire to wait for the results of the UN expert examination. The experts’ opinion about using chemical weapon in Syria is expected to become known on Friday.

New Zealand dollar was traded downwards on Thursday despite Business Confidence data. ANZ Business Confidence fell slightly in August from July’s 14-year high but remained rather high as New Zealand economy continued showing strengthening signs. Australian dollar also dropped. HIA New Home Sales decreased for the first time in five months according to HIA data. Canadian dollar fell amid Canada’s current account deficit growth that widened in the second quarter to 14.6 billion Canadian dollars against 13.4 billion in the first quarter.

UK Manufacturing PMI Has Grown

The pound grew on Monday after the release of manufacturing PMI. Manufacturing PMI in the UK rose in August up to 57.2 p. from 54.8 p. in July – to the highest reading for almost 2.5 years. A growth only to 55 p. was expected. Manufacturing PMI has been growing for seven months in a row in the UK. PMI growth can justify GDP growth rate acceleration in the third quarter.

It was a Bank Holiday on Monday in the USA and Canada. The dollar was traded differently – it weakened against the pound, AUD and NZD and partially rose against other major currencies having shown the highest growth against the yen. The yen weakened significantly amid the decrease of risks connected with Syria and stock indexes growth. US military action against Syria seems to be delayed. Past weekend Barack Obama said that he would ask the Congress to approve military actions against Damask. The uncertainty about the attack on Syria lowers the demand on defensive assets such as the yen and franc.

Swiss franc also followed the yen. The pressure was also put by the manufacturing PMI decrease. Manufacturing PMI in Switzerland dropped in August more than expected to 54.6 p. compared with 57.4 p. in July and against the forecast of 55.2 p. Besides, the head of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) Thomas Jordan said on Monday in the interview to Berner Zeitung that the Swiss franc was still overestimated and SNB would keep its limit for EURCHF as long as it would be necessary.

The euro had almost no reaction on manufacturing PMI growth in the euro-zone which exceeded the expectations and was traded slightly downwards. Euro-zone manufacturing PMI was revised up to 51.4 p. in August from the preliminary reading of 51.3 p. while no changes were expected. In July the index was 50.3 p. The index has been recording an increase for four months in a row and has reached the highest level since June, 2011. National indexes PMI grew in all euro-zone countries except France and Greece.

Australian dollar rose amid Chinese manufacturing PMI growth. Official manufacturing PMI in China released on Sunday grew to 51 p. against 50.3 p. in July having exceeded the forecasts. It may indicate that China’s economic growth rate in the third quarter can be a little higher than expected. HSBC Final Manufacturing PMI rocketed to 50.1 p. in August – the highest reading in 4 months. Besides, Building Approvals in Australia grew by 10.8% in July having exceeded the expectations 2.5 times.

The pound grew after UK construction PMI report that showed its growth to the highest readings for almost six years but then it lost all the growth. Construction PMI rose to 59.1 p. in August from 57 p. in July while no changes were expected. Construction PMI growth is another sign that UK economic recovery accelerated in the third quarter.

The yen dropped to a month low Vs the dollar amid strong US data and Japanese stock market growth which rose on Tuesday according to Nikkei 225 by 3%. However, the yen was rising shortly on Tuesday after the incident that reminded that the military operation against Syria was just delayed.

The Dollar Strengthened in Anticipation of Non-Farm Payrolls

The dollar grew on Thursday after the release of strong labour market data and Non-Manufacturing PMI – and reached almost 7-week high according to the dollar index. ADP Employment Change almost met the forecasts but Unemployment Claims turned out considerably better than expected. They dropped by 9 thousand to 323 thousand while a fall only by 2 thousand was expected.

However an average number of claims for the past 4 weeks, an indicator that smoothes short-term fluctuations and shows the trend better, dropped to the lowest level since October, 2007 – 328.5 thousand, which was several months before the start of the last recession. A month ago before the release of the last labour market report that indicator was 341.5 thousand. For a month it fell by 13 thousand. It shows that Non-Farm Payrolls that are released on Friday can be strong. It is expected that Employment Change will amount to 180 thousand against 162 thousand prior month; and unemployment rate will stay unchanged 7.4%.

Initial Jobless Claims - 4 Week Average

The US Services PMI reached historical high since the beginning of this statistics in January, 2008.

Besides, German Factory Orders decreased significantly in July more than expected – by 2.7% against the forecasted fall by 1%.

The Main Events of the Week

The dollar dropped on Friday and leveled almost all weekly growth after the release of Non-Farm Payrolls that fell short of expectations. In August in the USA economy there were created only 169 thousand non-farm jobs against the forecast of 180 thousand.

Employment Change and Unemployment Rate in the USA

The number of new jobs created every month has never exceeded 200 thousand within recent 6 months. It significantly lowers the chances to start tapering off QE3 at the Fed September meeting – or it will be the lowest (by 10 bln).
