16 Sep 2014

USD/JPY- ..... anticipated comments from BoJ Governor Kuroda, quote:

Business fixed investment is expected to continue its moderate increasing trend as corporate profits are expected to continue improving on the whole.

Exports are expected to head for a moderate increase, there are signs of pickup.

while there are concerns including geopolitical risks in some parts of the world, the global economy is likely to continue recovering.

Disinflationary trend a matter of concern in euro area, but area's economy likely to continue recovering moderately due to ecb steps.

Some geopolitical risks, including those in ukraine and iraq, still warrant attention.

CPI likely to reach boj's price target of 2 percent around the middle of the current projection period from fiscal 2014 through 2016.

If outlook changes due to manifestation of risks and it is judged necessary for achieving the price stability target, boj will make policy adjustments without hesitation.

Japan's economy has thus been on a path suggesting that the 2 percent price stability target will be achieved as expected, although we are only halfway there.

Japan's economy has continued to recover moderately as a trend.

Employment and income situation has continued to improve steadily, and household sentiment has been improving.

Virtuous cycle from income to spending has been operating steadily in both household and corporate sectors.

Effects of decline in demand following april sales tax hike have gradually begun to wane on the whole.

Even since before the tax hike in april this year, the boj's outlook for economic activity and prices has factored in the two rounds of consumption tax hikes.

Output has recently shown some weakness, exports have lacked momentum

Yesterday the news conference by Bank of Canada, Poloz's views & statement:

Bank of Canada is neutral on interest rates;

Poloz: asked about dropping neutral bias, says will give all the new data full consideration at next monetary policy report.

What happens next on the economy is still a big question mark for us.

Still a strong case for waiting and seeing.

Housing sector's bounce back from winter was a little more rigorous than we expected to see.

Base case remains that pieces are in place for gradual reduction in household imbalances.

Could take a year for jobs to return after pickup of exports.

Believes there is some slack in job market not measured by jobless rate, but it is hard to measure.

Estimates about 200,000 youth have withdrawn from workforce, maybe another 100,000 in prime age category are discouraged.

Canadian rates are already higher than U.S. rates.

Earlier news: "the Bank of Canada is not trying to manipulate or even guide markets as to the value of the Canadian dollar" Governor Stephen Poloz said on Tuesday, adding that this gives the bank freedom not to match possible U.S. interest rate hikes.

"floating rates helped Canada ride the tides of the global economy without overheating or unduly slowing."

"Trying to hold the dollar constant would give us larger fluctuations in unemployment, output and inflation, and in the end would not help us maintain our international competitiveness."

Many analysts have suggested Poloz, former head of Export Development Canada, prefers a weak currency in order to boost the exports, are needed to take over from households as the driver of growth. The Canadian dollar has fallen 7 percent against the U.S. greenback since he took office.

Wednesday will see the release of New Zealand's current account, Bank of England minutes, U.K. average earnings, claimant count unemployment, ILO unemployment, Swiss ZEW investor sentiment, eurozone inflation, U.S. core CPI, CPI, current account, NAHB housing market index, FOMC rate decision and monetary policy statement.

17 Sep 2014 USD/JPY

The former Ministry of Finance official Eisuke Sakakibara, who was known as "Mr. Yen" for his efforts to influence exchange rates in the mid 1990s, said in an interview in Tokyo on Tuesday that the yen will fall to 110 per dollar as early as this year, hurting Japan's economy as wages lag behind inflation driven by higher import costs.

"The negative side of a weak yen is evident in an economy that is struggling,". "I'm not a proponent of the 2 percent inflation target. As long as the growth rate is high, it doesn't matter if price gains are near zero.'

"The Japanese economy isn't all that bad, so the yen won't just keep on weakening," he said. "It's not going to fall to 130 or 140 per dollar."

Trading the greenback was tricky on Tuesday as price swung wildly.

Despite rebounding from Asian 106.93 low to 107.33 at European open after comments from BOJ governor Kuroda, price briefly dropped to a session low of 106.81 in NY on WSJ webcast saying the Fed will stick to near-zero rate language on Wed. Later, rally in the Dow to record high boosted risk sentiment, dlr rebounded to to 107.22 and then 107.28 shortly after Asian open, helped by gain in Nikkei in Tokyo morning (currently up 17 points to 15928).

Dlr's overnight rebound suggests buying on dips is still the favoured stragtegy but sharp gain beyond last Friday's 6-year peak at 107.40 is unlikely ahead of the release of Fed's latest policy statements (18:00GMT) and then Fed Chair Yellen's press conference. Bids are placed at 107.10-00 and then 106.85/80 with stops emerging below 106.60, whilst offers from various are noted at 107.40-50 and further out at 107.75/80 with stops emerging just above 108.00.

Market expects the Fed to keep interest rate at ultra-low level on Wednesday and to cut its monthly bond-buying program to $15 bln from $25 bln. Investors are hoping to see a timetable as to when U.S. interest rates may rise and focus more on wording the closing of its bond-buying program.

USD/JPY- ...... Dlr continues its recent winning streak and surged to a fresh 6-year peak of 109.45 shortly after Tokyo open as intra-day rally in the Nikkei (currently up by 235 points at 16302) boosted risk sentiment, leading to broad-baesd selling in the yen.

Although price has pared intra-day gain ahead of Tokyo lunch session, buying on dips is the way to go, however, it is advisable to take profit ahead of 110.00 as profit-taking below this 'rumoured' option barrier is expected ahead of the weekend.

Although no major U.S. data are due out today, traders may stand aside later on in NY session ahead of the September 20-21 G20 meeting in Cairns, Australia.

Bids are noted at 109.10-00, 108.90/85 and then 108.70-60 with stops emerging below 108.50.

On the upside, offers from various accounts are placed at 109.50-70 region and further out at 109.90-00.
