AceTraderFX Dec 6: Euro strengthens to a fresh 1-month peak after Draghi's comments

Market Review - 05/12/2013 22:39GMT

Euro strengthens to a fresh 1-month peak after Draghi's comments

The single currency surged to fresh 1-month peak at 1.3677 against the dollar on Thursday after ECB kept key interest rate unchanged at 0.25% together with 'euro-supportive' comments by ECB President Mario Draghi at the news conference after the ECB's monthly policy meeting.

Mario Draghi said the bank's policy stance was to remain accomodative for as long as necessary and that key interest rates are likely to remain at current or lower levels for an extended period of time.

During the day, although the single currency penetrated last Friday's high of 1.3622 to 1.3640 ahead of European open, active cross-selling in euro pressured price from there and price tanked to an intra-day low of 1.3543 in New York morning on dollar's broad-based rebound after release upbeat U.S. jobless claims and GDP data. Later, euro-supportive comments from ECB President Mario Draghi at post-rate decision news conference dampened traders' hopes for more aggressive easing measures in the euro zone and euro swiftly surged to a fresh 1-month high at 1.3677 before easing.

U.S. preliminary GDP increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.6% in the three months to September, above expectations for growth of 3.0% and up from a preliminary estimate of 2.8%. In a separate report, U.S. Department of Labor showed jobless claims fell by 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 298,000, from 321,000 in the previous week whose figure was revised up from 316,000.

Versus the Japanese yen, despite a rebound from Wednesday's New York low at 101.82, dollar retreated after meeting renewed selling interest at 102.44 at early Asian trading and then dropped to 101.85 in European morning. Dollar briefly rebounded to 102.33 in New York morning after release of a slew of better-then-expected U.S. economic data and then nose-dived to an intra-day low at 101.62 in late New York.

Although cable traded closely with euro in Asia and touched an intra-day high of 1.6403 in European morning, active cross-selling in sterling pressured price after the Bank of England held its monetary policy and cable later tumbled to a fresh 1-week low at 1.6300 in New York morning after strong U.S. economic reports supported demand for the greenback.

The Bank of England kept monetary policy unchanged on Thursday, keeping its commitment to hold interest rates at a record low 0.5% and QE asset purchase total at 375 billion pounds until Britain's recovery is more firmly established.

In other news, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said 'once the Federal Reserve finally trims its bond-buying program, it should then commit to an effective schedule that would wind it down completely; Fed should consider taking the first step in reducing its $85-billion monthly bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, "in the coming meetings" of its Federal Open Market Committee given the overall positive economic activity of late.' Later, he added ''Q3 has a "strong quarter" given fresh reading but that doesn't make a trend; QE GDP does not suggest U.S. has had breakout in growth; estimates pretty low; undecided on question of lowering 6.5% unemployment threshold; adjusting forward rates guidance is on the table at Dec policy meeting; QE taper question should be on the table at December meeting.'

Data to be released on Friday:

Japan leading indicators, France trade balance, Swiss CPI, Germany factory orders, U.S. non-farm payrolls, private payrolls, unemployment rate, average hourly earnings, personal income, personal spending, PCE, University of Michigan consumer confidence and Canada unemployment rate.

AceTraderFx Dec 9 : USD rallies against Japanese yen on strong U.S. jobs report

Market Review - 06/12/2013 22:24GMT

U.S. dollar rallies against Japanese yen on strong U.S. jobs report

U.S. dollar rallied to 102.97 against the Japanese yen on Friday after stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data, adding speculation that the Federal Reserve may start tapering its bond buying program sooner than expected.

U.S. employers added 203,000 new jobs in November and U.S. jobless rate fell to a five-year low of 7.0%. U.S. University of Michigan consumer sentiment rose to 82.5 in December versus final reading of 75.1 in November.

The single currency briefly dropped to a session low of 1.3620 after the release of U.S. jobs data before rallying to a fresh five-week high of 1.3706 in late New York. ECB chief Mario Draghi, after a policy meeting on Thursday, said the bank was ready to take fresh action to support a fragile recovery. Draghi also noted that liquidity in the banking system had improved since the last long-term cash injection and attached conditions for any repeat.

The British pound fell initially to a session low of 1.6294 in New York morning on dollar's broad-based weakness after the release of robust U.S. jobs report, however, cable staged a strong rebound to 1.6393 in tandem with euro before retreating again in late New York due to cross selling in sterling. Euro rose against the sterling from 0.8348 to 0.8390.

In other news, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said 'the U.S. Federal Reserve should put a dollar cap and end date on its bond-buying program.' Plosser added "the sooner we end (the program) the better." Plosser suggested the central bank should convert its existing "thresholds" for raising interest rates to more predictable "triggers." The Fed has tied its first rate rise to future thresholds of 2.5 percent inflation and 6.5 percent unemployment.

Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said at symposium that 'the Federal Reserve should not worry too much if inflation temporarily rises above the Fed's 2 percent goal.' Evans added 'inflation is now running much lower than the Fed's goal, and Fed policies designed to push it back up may possibly overshoot; but the Fed's goals on inflation and on achieving maximum employment should be "symmetric," and the Fed should give them equal weight.' Evans also said he is not willing to used monetary policy to lean against the rise in stock prices that some see as a potential bubble.
