Yen and dollar gain on Obama's bank plan; Greece weighs on euro

The Japanese yen and dollar rose on Thursday as U.S. President Barack Obama proposed trading restrictions on financial institutions, discouraging demand for higher-yielding assets.

U.S. stocks dropped sharply on Obama's proposal to prevent major banks from owning, sponsoring or investing in hedge funds for their own profit. DJI closed the day down 213 points. The news hurt risk appetite and benefited the yen. Despite rising to an intra-day high of 91.88 at NY opening, the greenback tumbled against the yen after Obama began this presentation to the congress and price reached a one-month low of 90.11 in NY afternoon before stabilising.

The euro continued to suffer from worries about Greece's public finances. Greece faces a huge public deficit and its borrowing costs have soared in recent days. Its government said on Thursday it would take all necessary measures to rein in its deficits and put the economy back on track. The single currency hit its intra-day low of 1.4029 in European morning but staged a strong rebound to 1.4144 on Obama's comments in NY afternoon before easing. However, euro still closed the day down over 0.1%.

The pound tumbled on broad-based cross-selling in sterling (eur/gbp rose for the first time in eight days from Wednesday's low of 0.8650 to 0.8718) and price hit intra-day low of 1.6123 in European mid-session before staging a rebound afterward. Anyhow, cable still closed the day down over 0.5%.

In other news, U.S. jobless claims came in at 482,000, much higher than economists' forecast of 440,000 and previous upwardly revised reading of 446,000.

Data to be released on Friday include Australia exports, imports, Japan industrial index, U.K. retail sales, EU industrial orders, Canada retail sales.

Dollar rises as Bernanke edges closer to second term

The greenback, which rose late last week as nervous investors cut holdings of higher-yield, higher-risk currencies and assets, turned lower against most major currencies on Monday as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke edged closer to winning support for a second term, which helped ease anxiety among investors.

Although cable has traded sideways in Asia, it began to display strength after Europe has opened. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown said 'we will recoup money' that the banks have been given and even turn a profit on it. Brown also said his call for international financial levy gaining ground and danger of banks seeking to return to 'bad old ways' on bonuses. The news lifted the sterling higher and price rose to 1.6262 in NY afternoon before retreating.

Despite euro's brief dip to 1.4112 in Australia, the single currency rebounded on short-covering. Price reached intra-day high of 1.4195 in European mid-day after German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said German government is prepared to act if financing problems grow and news of higher-than-expected orders for Greek bond (orders for Greece's 5-year benchmark have topped 9.0 billion euros) came out. However, the single currency retreated from there and reached as low as 1.4129 after U.S. existing home sales fell by 16.7% to 5.45 million unit annual rate versus economists' forecast of a decrease of 10.0% to 5.90 million. Euro eventually ended the day down less than 0.01%.

Data to be released on Tuesday include Japan BOJ rate decision, Germany Ifo index, EU current account, U.K. GDP, U.S. consumer confidence. Monday is a public holiday in Australia.

However, price tumbled from there and fell to a six-month low of 1.3862 in NY afternoon before stabilising.

Versus the swiss franc, the dollar rose to as high as 1.0644 (eur/chf rose from 1.4635 to 1.4770 in an hour) in NY afternoon despite a brief fall to 1.0483 in European mid-day. Traders said the Bank of International Settlements was buying the eur/chf, though the BIS declined to comment. The BIS has acted on behalf of the Swiss National Bank in the past to weaken the franc. The SNB was not immediately available for comment.

Dollar rises versus yen on stronger-than-expected U.S. ISM manufacturing data

Dollar/yen opened lower in NZ/Australia trading n fell briefly to 89.76 on cross-buying yen by st specs in reaction to weekend comments made by U.K.'s FSA chairman Adair Turner who said at the World Economic Forum in Davos the so-called carry trades were 'economically valueless'. However,the greenback rallied in NY morning trade after the release of much better-than-expected U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI which came in at 58.4 in January, compared to economists' forecast of 55.5, price subsequently rose to 90.94 due to rebound in European & U.S. stocks. DJI ended the day up 118 points on improved market's sentiment.

Euro remained under pressure in Asian morning on strong U.S. Q4 GDP last Friday and after-market report by CFTC on Friday which showed futures traders had built up shorts to the highest level in more than a year. As Greek/German 10-year govt. bond yield spread narrowed 20 basis points to 350 basis points together with German and eurozone manufacturing PMI both rose to 53.7 and 52.4 in January from 52.7 as well as 51.6 in December respectively, the single currency rebounded from intra-day 7-month low of 1.3852 (Asia) on short-covering in European morning. The pair picked up more upward momentum and gained to 1.3939 in late NY afternoon.

Although U.K. CIPS manufacturing PMI came out much higher than expected at 56.7 in January compared to economists' anticipation of 54.0 and well above 54.6 in December, the British pound extended recent decline to as low as 1.5850 on active cross selling in sterling versus euro (eur/gbp rallied from 0.8683 to 0.8769). However, intra-day rebound rebound in euro lifted the British pound due to short-covering.
