GBP/USD - 1.6818... BoE Governor Mark Carney says 'recovery broadening; BoE officials prudently optimistic on outlook; it's important we see longer term growth; consistent growth requires substantial wage rises; early signs are that recovery is sustainable; BoE interest rate rises will be gradual, limited.'
29 Apr 2014 02:49GMT
GBP/USD - 1.6814.. Cable moves narrowly in subdued Asian trading as Asian traders are on the sideline after seeing the pound pulling back rather sharply fm a fresh 4-1/2 year peak of 1.6858 to 1.6801 in NY session Mon. As mentioned in y'day's update, short-term specs bot sterling broadly at European open on news of a mega M&A deal, however, as many had pointed out earlier, market is long on cable, longs quickly took profit when no strg follow-through buying materialised n the release of upbeat U.S. pending sales triggered further long liquidation in NY.
Expect cable to trade abv 1.6801 until European open n market may well test the upside ahead of the release of the blockbuster advanced U.K. Q1 GDP, street forecast is calling for an annual growth of 3.2% vs prev. reading of 2.7%. Even if the data comes in as per expectation, as cable is now a crowded trade, more profit-taking offers shud limit the pound's upside today n downside risk seems to weigh on cable more. For now, bids are noted at 1.6805/00 n more below with fairly large stops touted below 1.6760. On the upside, initial offers are reported at 1.6840/50 n more abv with a mixture of stops n offers at 1.6860/65.

. USD/JPY - 102.51... Despite retreating to a 1-week low of 101.96 last Fri due to buying of yen on risk aversion, dlr ratcheted higher in Asia on Mon n intra-day upmove gathered pace on unwinding of previous long-yen positions, the pair climbed back to 102.63 in NY morning after upbeat U.S. pending home sales.
. Looking at the daily picture, although dlr's erratic fall fm last week's
high of 102.73 to 101.96 signals early upmove fm Apr's low at 101.32 has formed a temporary top there, Mon's stronger-than-expected cross-inspired rebound suggests pullback has ended there n re-test of 102.73 is likely, abv wud extend aforesaid rise fm 101.32 to correct dlr's decline fm Apr's 2-1/2 month peak at 104.13 twd 'dynamic' res at 103.06 (61.8% r), however, reckon pivotal res at 103.77 (Mar) wud remain intact ahead of release of the key U.S.jobs data this Fri. On the downside, below 101.96 sup wud shift to the downside for subsequent weakness to 101.50/60.
. Today, in view of abv analysis, we're turning long on dlr on dips in
anticipation of upmove to 103.00 but as hourly oscillators' readings wud be in o/bot territory on next rise, 103.30/31 shud cap upside.

USD/JPY - 102.50 ... Despite initial firmness to 102.66 at Tokyo open on improved risk appetite due to the rise in Nikkei, following the rally in global stock markets on Tuesday. Selling interest below yesterday's high at 102.79 capped dlr's upside. The pair retreated to 102.48 in Asian morning, however, trading is relatively thin as investors are waiting for the BOJ rate decision, to be released at around 3:00-3:30GMT.
Some market players are expecting the BOJ to deliver further "Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing" (QQE) on Wednesday, in the form of a further 10 trillion yen increase in the monetary base, biased towards riskier assets.

Although price rose briefly to 1.6847 in early Europe n then tumbled to 1.6792 after release of disappointing U.K. Q1 GDP data, price rebounded on active buying of pound vs euro n rose 1-tick higher to 1.6848 in NY morning b4 easing.

USD/JPY - 102.19 ... Despite yesterday's sharp fall from 102.67 to 102.03 in NY, dlr staged a brief bounce to 102.30 in Tokyo morning due to the rise in Nikkei following the strength in global equities, however, renewed selling there capped dlr's upside n price retreated as Nikkei-225 index pared most of early gains. Trading is expected to be thin in Asia as Chinese players are absent today due to Labour Day holiday.
Some offers are tipped at 102.30-40 n more at 102.60/65 with stops only seen above 102.80. On the downside, mixture of bids n stops at 102.00 is in focus. More stops are located below 101.90 n 101.80.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK USD/JPY - 102.28
Update Time: 02 May 2014 00:13 GMT
The greenback traded narrowly on Thursday after Wednesday's strong retreat from 102.67 to 102.03, however, as aforesaid sell off suggests recent up move from April's low at 101.32 has formed a temporary top at 102.79 on Tuesday 102.79, choppy consolidation with downside bias would be seen and weakness towards 101.96 support (last Friday's low) is likely, below would bring stronger pullback to 101.60/70, however, as broad outlook remains consolidative, April's low at 101.32 should hold from here and yield further choppy gyrations.
On the upside, only a breach of 102.67 would turn outlook bullish for another corrective rise to 103.06, being 61.8% retracement of 104.13-101.32, however, reckon upside would be limited to 103.30/40.

GBP/USD - 1.6887.. Another piece of breaking news which may 'trigger' another bout of st speculative buying of cable.
U.K. drug maker AstraZeneca says board will review Pfizer offer. A spokeswoman for the company said today AstraZeneca board will be reviewing a sweetened takeover offer fm Pfizer but the company has no further comment at this stage.
Sterling was the 'star currency' in y'day's holiday-thinned trading. Despite initial quiet start due to closure of many major centres for Labour Day holiday, the pound sprang to life at European open n jumped to a near 5-year peak of 1.6921 after U.K. Apr manufacturing PMI beat forecast, however, the bullish euphoria quickly faded when long liquidation emerged, knocking the pound to 1.6876 in NY morning.
Cable has moved narrowly with a soft bias as Asian traders are on the sideline ahead of a slew of eco. data in Europe. We have several eurozone manufacturing PMIs ahead of the release of U.K. Apr construction PMI at 08:30GMT (street forecast is calling for 62.5 vs prev. reading at 62.5) n not to mention the world's most important data, the U.S. non-farm payrolls data at 12:30GMT. Initial bids are noted at 1.6870-60 with some stops touted below 1.6850, on the upside, offers are reported at 1.6910/20 n more abv, suggesting near term range trading wud continue but buying cable on dips is till the preferred strategy after clocking up 6 consecutive days of winning streak on Thur.

'choppy' trading below last Tue's high at 0.8862 wud continue with downside bias but below Mon's 0.8771 low is needed to confirm early recovery fm Apr's 3-week trough at 0.8743 has ended there, then re-test of said sup wud follow, a break there wud indicate MT downtrend fm 2012 peak at 0.9972 has possibly resumed n extend weakness twd Mar's 2-year trough at 0.8698 next week.
