Euro climbs to 2-week high on strong demand at Spanish debt auction

The single currency climbed to a 2-week high against the dollar on Thursday as Spain sold more than its maximum target at an auction, boosting optimism the region’s sovereign-debt crisis is being contained.

Although the single currency rose one tick above last Friday's 1.2879 high to 1.2880 in Asia, euro weakened to an intra-day low at 1.2839 in European morning. However, euro rallied to 1.2936 after the strong demand at Spain's bond auction eased concerns about contagion within the eurozone. Later, euro pared its gains and briefly retreated to 1.2875 in New York morning before climbing to a session high at 1.2972 in late New York session on cross-buying against the Japanese yen and on continued optimism about Europe.

Spain sold 6.61 billion euros of debt due in 2016, 2019 and 2022, exceeding the maximum target of 4.5 billion euros set for the auctions.

French borrowing costs declined as the nation sold 7.97 billion euros of medium and long-term securities.

Although the British pound dropped to an intra-day low at 1.5415 in European morning, cable climbed to 1.5488 in New York morning on increased risk appetite and edged marginally higher to a session high at 1.5495 in late New York trade.

Versus the Japanese yen, although the greenback weakened to an intra-day low at 76.70 in European morning, dollar rallied to a 2-week high at 77.32 in New York morning on broad-based selling of the yen before stabilising at 77.15 near New York close.

In other news, the draft treaty for establishing the ESM states 'coming lending capacity of eurozone temporary n permanent bailout funds EFSF/ESM remains 500 billlion euros; 500 billion euro lending capacity of EFSF/ESM is a minimum; ESM board of governors may decide to raise combined EFSF/ESM lending limit; ESM treaty will enter into force when countries representing 90% of subscribed capital ratify it; a eurozone country can only apply for ESM help if it started ratification of fiscal compact treaty.'

Earlier, ECB's Executive Board Member Joerg Asmussen said 'monetary policy cannot be overburdened, responsibility for fighting bet crisis with gov't; ECB's bond buying programme cannot last forever.' ECB President Mario Draghi said 'EU did fantastic progress in improving fundamentals in many countries in recent months; Europe will be in better shape in 2012, but downward risks significant.'

On the data front, U.S. initial jobless claims were reported at 352K, lower than a forecast of 385K and a previous revised figure of 402K and Philadelphia Fed survey was reported at 7.3, market consensus of 10.0. Real earnings were better-than-expected at 0.5%, forecast was 0.2%.

Euro retreats after rise to fresh one-month high on Greek deal hopes

The euro extended Wednesday's rise on Thursday as hopes of a Greek debt deal buoyed risk appetite but only to surrender its gains as the ECB was unlikely to accept losses on its Greek debt.

Earlier in Asia, the single currency orbited around 1.3100 as trading in all major currencies was relatively subdued after previous day's dollar's broad-based selloff on Fed's dovish post-FOMC statements gains. Despite choppy movements in European morning, euro later strengthened to 1.3175 following reports from the Greek newspaper Ethnos that private sector creditors will likely agree a lower coupon on new Greek bonds, spurring risk appetite. Strong results from an Italian bond auction, rallies in European bourses, and confirmation from Olli Rehn that a deal is close helped propel euro to its session high of 1.3184 in New York. However, the pair fell to 1.3096 after Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker said the ECB would only accept small, if any, losses on its Greek debt holdings.

Italian 10-year government bond yields and the cost of insuring against a default fell due to solid demand for short-term debt at today's auction as Italy sold the top planned amount of 5 billion euros of zero-coupon and inflation-linked bonds.

The British pound traded very narrowly during Asian session but quickly climbed above Wednesday's high in Europe in tandem with euro, cable later rose to session high of 1.5735 in New York afternoon due to dollar's broad-based weakness. However, cable pared most of these gains and settled the day around 1.5685. U.K. CBI distribution trade in January fell sharply to -22 from 9, much worse than forecast of -6.

Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback continued yesterday's decline and ratcheted lower from 77.82 to a low of 77.29 in New York before recovering marginally.

On the data front, U.S. durable goods for December were much better-than-expected coming in at 3.0% vs forecast of 2.0%. U.S. initial jobless claims rose to 377K from 352K in the prior week.

Data to be released on Friday:

New Zealand trade balance, imports, exports, Japan CPI, retail sales, Germany import price index, Switzerland KOF indicator, U.S. GDP, PCE, University of Michigan consumer sentiment.
