Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
14 Jan 2015 06:52GMT
USD/JPY - ....... Dlr tumbles to a fresh 3-week low of 116.75 in heavy Asian trading.
Despite initial recovery from Tuesday's NY low of 117.53, renewed selling emerged at 117.96 (Aust.) and knocked price to lower 117.50 shortly after Tokyo open.
Renewed weakness in the Nikkei (N225 closed down nearly 300 points at 16795 - a near 3-week low) triggered broad-based yen buying on risk aversion n the pair remained under pressure throughout Asian session after tripping stops below 117.00.
The lack of a rebound ahead of European open suggests intra-day downward pressure remains and looks like any rebound in the dlr would be ltd in European session as more stops are touted below 116.25, then below 116.00.
Offers are tipped at 117.20/30 n more at 117.50/60, so selling dlr on recovery is the way to go.

. USD/CHF - 1.0197 ... Despite falling briefly to session low at 1.0127 in Asian morning y'day, the greenback quickly rebounded on intra-day retreat in eur/usd. Price then ratcheted higher in Europe n rose to a fresh 4-year peak at 1.0218 in NY morning on renewed euro's weakness b4 retreating on profit-taking.
. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, dlr's brief breach of last Thur's 4-year peak at 1.0217 suggests the 3-legged upmove fm Mar's 2-1/2 year trough at 0.8698 has once again resumed n further gain twd 1.0232 (61.8% projection of 1.0033-1.0217 fm 1.0118), then 1.0267 (80.9% projection). However, as the hourly indicators wud display prominent 'bearish divergences' on such move, strg gain abv there is unlikely to be seen n reckon dlr wud hold well below 1.0302 (this is 100% projection of 1.0033 to 1.0217 measured fm 1.0118) this week n yield a much-needed correction. On the downside, only below 1.0095 wud indicate a temp. top is made, yield stronger correction twd 1.0033.
. Today, in view of abv analysis, we are buying dlr on dips n only below Mon's low at 1.0118 wud indicate a temporary top has been made n yield stronger retracement twd 1.0095 b4 prospect of recovery later.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
15 Jan 2015 00:53 GMT
USD/JPY ...... The dlr continued its o/n gain in Asia on lower-than-expected Japan's core machinery orders and rebound in the Nikkei.
Reuters reported Japan's core machinery orders rose less than expected in Nov due to declining orders in the manufacturing sector, suggesting companies are still cautious about capital expenditure due to worries about domestic demand.
Compared with a year earlier, core orders, a highly volatile data series regarded as an indicator of capital spending in the coming 6 to 9 months, tumbled 14.6%. The median estimate was for a 5.8% annual decline.
The Cabinet Office lowered its assessment of machinery orders, saying the recovery is showing signs of stalling. If business investment remains weak, more economists could start to question Abe's argument that his policies are leading to a revival of Japan's hollowed-out manufacturing sector.
The 1.3% rise in core orders, which exclude those of ships and electric power utilities, compared with a 5.0% rise forecast by economists in a Reuters poll. It followed a 6.4% decline in Oct.
Reuters reported BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Thur the economy is recovering moderately as a trend with the pain from a sales tax hike in Apr subsiding.
"The BOJ will maintain its quantitative n qualitative easing for as long as needed to achieve and stably maintain 2% inflation," Kuroda said in a speech at a quarterly meeting of the bank's regional branch managers.
The BOJ has kept monetary policy steady since expanding its massive stimulus programme in Oct last year, a move aimed at preventing weak demand n slumping oil prices fm delaying an end to deflation.
"Japan's economy continues to recover moderately as a trend; BOJ's QQE programme exerting its intended effects on economy; BOJ will maintain QQE for as long as necessary to stably achieve 2% inflation; BOJ will adjust policy as needed, looking at upside, downside risks to economy, prices."
Thursday will see the release of Japan's Corp Goods Price and Machinery Orders, U.K.'s RICS Housing Survey, Australia's Employment, Unemployment, Participation Rate, Germany's GDP, euro zone trade balance, U.S.'s initial jobless claims PPI, NY Fed Manufacturing, Philly Fed Business Index.

USD/JPY - ....... Despite initial bounce to 117.66 in Tokyo morning due to the rise in Nikkei-225 index, selling interest below last Friday's NY high at 117.76 capped dlr's upside and renewed risk aversion due to the plunge in China stock markets (down over 7%) prompted investors to buy Japanese yen.

Offers are now tipped at 117.30-40 and more at 117.50-60.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK (EUR/USD)
Update Time: 19 Jan 2015 02:31 GMT
The single currency tumbled to a fresh 11-year low at 1.1460 on Friday on speculation that ECB's president Mario Draghi will announce a 550 billion-euro ($635 billion) bond-purchase program this week.
However, short-covering in New York lifted the pair to 1.1589, suggesting further choppy consolidation would be seen.
On the upside, as long as 1.1648 resistance remains intact, bearishness remains for a retreat to 1.1500/10 but said temporary low at 1.1460 should hold from here.
Looking ahead, a breach of 1.1460 would extend weakness to 1.1400 and later 1.1350/57 before prospect of a much-needed correction later.

. USD/CHF- 0.8587 ... Dlr went thru its most volatile week since the pair was floated in 1971. Despite rising to a 4-year high of 1.0240 Wed, price staged a free fall to a 40-month low of 0.7360 Thur on SNB's surprise decision to abandon the 1.20 franc peg. Short-covering lifted the pair 0.9131 b4 retreating.
. Looking at bigger picture, dlr's said reversal fm 1.0240 peak to as low as 0.7360 (Reuters) has completely distorted the usefulness of technical analysis as Thur's move literally ended dlr's LT upmove fm the near 4-year long uptrend fm 2011 record low of 0.7072 (Aug) to 1.0240. Based on our experience, the spike bottom at 0.7360 formation means a major low has been made but market will, because of 'psychological' reasoning, want to re-test this lvl. So market sentiment will be selling dlr on recovery in the coming days ahead n when price closes abv the psychological 1.0000 mark, selling may subside. Therefore, selling dlr on recovery is favoured but profit shud be taken on decline as price is likely to 'gyrate' inside 0.8000-0.9131 range this week.
. Today, price is likely to trade inside 0.8452-0.8809 as near term move wud be influenced by intra-day swings in eur/chf cross.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
20 Jan 2015 01:09GMT
EUR/USD - ....... Euro fell ahead of Asian open on Tuesday following a short-covering rally to 1.1639 in thin N. American session, some cited for the intra-day weakness on euro-bearish news.
Reuters reported Greece's anti-bailout opposition party Syriza appears to be gaining momentum with less than a week before Sunday's snap election, moving further ahead of the co-ruling conservatives in 3 separate opinion polls.
Syriza, which wants to renegotiate a chunk of Greek debt and end austerity measures, saw its poll lead grow to 6.5 points on Monday, according to a survey for the University of Macedonia conducted for Greece's SKAI Television, up from a 4.5 point lead shown by the same pollster last week.
Syriza would garner 33.5% of the vote, up from 31.5%, while PMr Antonis Samaras' New Democracy party, which has pushed through unpopular reforms as part of an international bailout, stood unchanged on 27%.
A Syriza victory could trigger a stand off with Greece's EU and IMF lenders and unleash a new financial crisis.
A 2nd survey on Monday, carried out by Alco for the newspaper Proto Thema, put Syriza on 33.1% with the conservatives on 28.5%, a 4.6 point lead for Syriza compared with a difference of 3.5 points in a poll by the same firm last week.
A 3rd survey by GPO for television station Mega also showed Syriza pulling ahead, this time from a lead of 3.2 points in a survey conducted nearly 2 weeks ago to 4 points, with the anti-bailout party on 30.4% compared to 26.4% for New Democracy.
All 3 pollsters indicated that centrist party Potami (River) could play the role of kingmaker if voters deliver a hung parliament, with the political movement created by a journalist-turned-politician coming in third place, although jointly with the far-right Golden Dawn party in one survey.
Tuesdaywill see the release of New Zealand's NZIER Business Confidence, China's GDP, Retail sales, Industrial Output, Germany's Producer Prices, ZEW Current Conditions, ZEW Economic Sentiment, Italy's Trade Balance, euro zone's ZEW Economic Sentiment, U.S.'s Redbook, NAHB Housing Market Index.
