22 Jul 2014 08:58 GMT

EUR/USD- .... The single currency met renewed selling interest at 1.3530 in Asian morning n weakened ahead of European open. Intra-day decline accelerated in early European morning n price fell below last Fri's 5-month low at 1.3491 to 1.3480 on broad-based selling of euro. Offers are now seen at 1.3500/05 and more above at 1.3515/20 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 1.3460/70, suggesting selling on recovery is favored.

Earlier in the Asian morning opening today saw the single currency moved sideways below yesterday's high of 1.3549 but with a soft bias due to ongoing market sentiments that the ECB has room to loosen policy while the Federal Reserve will continue to wind down stimulus tools this year n hike interest rates in 2015.

There are zero economic data to be released fm EZ today, therefore, euro should closely followed the move with other usd/majors.

Range trading below y'day's high of 1.3549 is likely to continue ahead of European open as market eyes on events unfolding in Ukraine and Gaza whilst stops located just below last Fri's 5-month low at 1.3491 are in focus.

At the moment, offers from various accounts was noted at 1.3535/40 n then 1.3545/50 with mixture of offers n stops located above 1.3570.

On the downside, bids were placed at 1.3515/10 and around 1.3500.

USD/JPY.... Statement from BoJ's Deputy Governor Nakaso quote: 'Japan's economy continues to grow above its potential; domestic demand is firm but exports continue to move sideways;

expect Japan's economy to continue to grow above its potential as virtuous cycle is sustained;

QQE exerting its intended effect with long-term yields moving stably, inflation expectations rising as a whole;

Japan eyeing end of deflation but still half-way through in meeting BoJ's price target;

won't hesitate to adjust policy if risks threaten change to our economic, price projections;

no evidence to confirm view that U.S. is suffering "secular stagnation"; situation in Ukraine, Russia a potential risk for global outlook, warrants attention;

I am somewhat concern about slow growth in emerging economies, particularly in Asia; decline in Japan's private consumption broadly in line with initial expectations;

pace of recovery in Japan's exports has been slower than in the past when considering pace of recovery in global growth, yen moves;

Japan's real exports are expected to increase moderately, though must watch developments "without undue optimism"; Japan likely to achieve 2% inflation in or around fiscal 2015.'

Earlier quoting source from the Nikkie which said Abe advisers urge an initial 2% corporate tax cut.

Wednesdaywill see the release of Australia CPI, France business climate, UK BoE minutes, BBA mortgage approvals, Italy trade balance, Canada retail sales and EU consumer confidence.

USD/JPY- .... Statement from BoJ's Deputy Governor Nakaso quote:

'Japan's economy recovering moderately as a trend, impact of sales tax hike easing; sales tax hike reduces real household income, so must watch its impact on consumption;

global financial regulation must be created in a way that does not excessively hamper private-sector banking activity;

too early to debate specific exit strategy for BoJ's QEE programme;

BoJ has experience exiting previous QE in 2006 and already has various means to withdraw liquidity;

how to use such means to withdraw liquidity and in what order, would depend on economic, price conditions at the time;

BoJ won't be able to use same exit strategy as when it ended previous QE, as its balance sheet is larger and debt duration is longer;

monetary policy has a role to lay in addressing financial imbalances ;

in general, prolonged ultra-loose policy may spur excessive risk taking, but no such behavior seen in Japan.'

23 Jul 2014 02:17GMT

USD/JPY - .... Although dlr edged higher in Tokyo morning n climbed to 101.54, renewed broad-based buying in yen quickly emerged after comments BoJ's Deputy Governor Nakaso (see our prev. MMN) n pressured price to 101.39.

Today, the greenback shud remain supportive as the release of solid U.S. inflation and existing home sales numbers y'day determines that the U.S. economy continues to improve n is in need of less support fm the Federal Reserve. Therefore, buying dlr on dips in anticipation of next intra-day upmove is recommended, however, as broad outlook is consolidative n in an absence of U.S. economic events in U.S. today, reckon renewed selling may emerge below last Wed's high of 101.79 n yield retreat later.

At the moment, bids are noted at 101.25/20 n around 101.10 with stops emerging just below 101.00. On the upside, offers are placed at 101.55/60 n then 101.70 with mixture of offers n stops located at 101.95/00.

Earlier quoting source fm the Nikkie which said Abe advisers urge an initial 2% corporate tax cut.

Offers are now seen at 1.7080/90 n more above at 1.7100/05 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 1.7040/45, suggesting selling cable on intra-day recovery is still favored.

BoE releases its minutes, Quote:

'MPC have pre-set view on timing of a rate rise, will depend on data;

some MPC members feel decision on rate rise had become more balanced over past few months than earlier in the year;

growth generally looking more assured but tentative indications of slight slowdown forecast for H2;

one view was that risk of small rate rise derailing economy had receded, cud help assess response of economy;

size of labor market slack uncertain so pace at which it is used may be more relevant;

other view was that unexpected rate rise cud have outsize impact as global growth grows;

little indication of inflationary pressures building;

different MPC members put different weights on these interpretations;

expect Q2 GDP growth of 0.9% b4 slowing modestly in Q3 n Q4;

response of mkts to geopolitical events n economic risks surprisingly low.'

'BoJ sees long-term inflation expectations in moderate rising trend, must closely monitor whether this trend will continue;

transforming public's deflation mindset will take some time but positive developments gradually starting to spread;

BoJ's goal of "sustaining 2% inflation in stable manner" is equivalent to stabilizing long-term inflation expectations at around 2%;

assigning too many objectives to monetary policy without allocating sufficient policy tools may be potentially problematic.'

USD/JPY - Statement from BoJ's Kuroda :

'some medium, long-term challenges need to be addressed in Asia, including demographic changes, risks of excessive credit expansion and destabilisation of financial system;

in Japan, the potential growth rate has been pushed down by a decline in labor input;

prompt action to address demographic challenges is needed to preserve growth momentum of domestic demand-led economy in Asia;

current global accommodative financial conditions raise the possibility of unhealthy global capital flows into Asian economies;

important to establish regional safety nets in Asia to prepare for possible external shocks;

Asian countries should prevent excessive expansion of credit to ensure domestic demand-led growth;

a large decline in real estate prices could cause NPLS to rise in many countries and hamper growth.'
