More on the upbeat U.K. services PMI, Britain's services sector expanded faster than expected last month, a survey showed on Wednesday, suggesting the economy may be slowing less than previously thought following a year of robust growth.

The closely watched Markit/CIPS services purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 58.6 in Nov after falling sharply to 56.2 in October, beating all forecasts in a Reuters poll, amid reports of firm demand and increased new business.

The rise in the index was the biggest in over a year, and it has exceeded the 50 level that represents growth for nearly 2 years. A corresponding manufacturing survey on Monday also showed a rebound, though Tuesday's construction PMI was weaker. Markit said that taken together, the surveys suggested Britain's economy will grow by 0.6% in the final 3 months of 2014, up fm a previous estimate of 0.5%.

The data is likely to be welcomed by FinMin George Osborne, who gives a half-yearly update on official growth and borrowing forecasts later on Wed, his penultimate such statement before May's national election. The BoE forecasts Britain's economy will grow by 3.5% this year, faster than any other big advanced economy, before growth slows to 2.9% next year.

EUR/USD - ...... The single currency ratcheted lower on Wednesday and tumbled to a fresh 27-month low at 1.2301 after as a survey showed euro zone business activity grew less than thought last month. Market players are focusing on today's ECB rate decision and statement. ECB is widely expected to keep interest rate unchanged and more stimulus measures are expected from ECB.

Reuters reported Greece will have to ask for an extension on its bailout programme before parliaments in euro zone nations close for Christmas because a new credit line will not be ready in time, a senior euro zone official said on Wed.

After 2 bailouts totalling 240 bln euros since 2010, Greece wants to switch back to market financing from the start of next year but disagreement over Greece's funding needs next year means the euro zone cannot sign off on a back-up credit line.

"I'm willing to work on Dec. 24 but parliaments are not around," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity, setting Dec. 15 as the cut-off date for prolonging Greece's existing programme into Jan so that lenders can make a final 1.8 bln euro payment. All euro zone parliaments must approve that extension.

Greece and its lenders aimed to get a deal on a credit line - which Athens would only tap in an emergency - by next Mon when the IMF, the European Commission n the ECB, or troika, report back to euro zone FinMins in Brussels.

The official said that ideally Greece should formally request the credit line n the technical extension at the same time, although he saw this as unlikely to happen on Monday.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

05 Dec 2014 02:18 GMT

EUR/USD ...... Euro staged a ferocious rally after ECB President left the door open on the exact timing of next stimulus move. Reuters reported the ECB will decide early next year whether to take further action to revive the euro zone's economy, its president said on Thur, signalling that he would not allow opposition from Germany or anyone else to stop it.

In his clearest language yet, Mario Draghi underlined the central bank's commitment to supporting the ailing economy of the 18-country bloc, and argued the case for printing fresh money to buy assets such as state bonds. But his remarks, which came within minutes of a meeting where he clashed with German officials over his ambitions, set him on a possible collision course with the euro zone's biggest and single most important country.

Very low inflation is seen as a trigger for ECB action such as printing fresh money to buy gov't bonds, a step known as quantitative easing (QE) which Germany opposes. "QE has been shown to be effective in the U.S. & U.K.," Draghi told journalists at a press conference, saying that he would not 'tolerate' the prospect of price stability, the ECB's central goal, drifting off course. Perhaps most significantly, however, Draghi made clear that he would face down the considerable political opposition to further radical action.

The single currency swung wildly on Thursday. Despite euro's weakness to a fresh 27-month low of 1.2280 at the start of ECB's press conference, the pair rebounded strongly to as high as 1.2457 as ECB refrained from adding stimulus measures and will review the monetary policy in Q1 2015. However, renewed selling knocked price lower to 1.2360 near New York close.

Offers are now reported at 1.2400-10 n more at 1.2430-50.

On the downside, mixture of bids n stops seen at 1.2360 n 1.2340.

Investors are now focusing on the release of Germany's industrial orders at 07:00GMT and euro zone revised GDP data at 10:00GMT.

Friday'swill see the release of Japan's Leading Indicator, Germany's Industrial Orders, UK Consumer inflation expectations, euro zone revised GDP, US Non-Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate and Average Earnings, Canada's Unemployment Rate, Employment Change and Trade Balance, US Factory Orders and Durable Goods.

. EUR/USD - 1.23845... Euro rallied sharply against the usd on Thur as ECB refrained fm adding stimulus measures. Although price briefly fell to a fresh 27-month low at 1.2280 at the start of ECB's press conference, euro jumped to 1.2414 n then rose to 1.2457 on short-covering b4 retreating to 1.2360.

. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, y'day's rally fm a fresh 27-month trough to as high as 1.2457 in choppy NY session suggests MT downtrend fm May's 2-1/2 year peak at 1.3995 has formed a temporary low there n despite subsequent retreat, as long as 1.2325 (Thur's European morning high, now sup) holds, consolidation with upside bias remains, a daily close abv 1.2457 wud add credence to this view, then euro bring another leg of correction twd 1.2525/32(50% r of 1.2771-1.2280 n Nov 26 high respectively), however, as hourly technical indicators' readings wud be in o/bot territory on such move, a strg retreat is likely to take place next week.

. Today, in view of abv analysis, we're trading euro on both sides of the market initially as choppy sideways move is expected ahead of the key monthly U.S. jobs data. Only below 1.2280 wud risk one more fall to 1.2245/55.
