GBP/USD- ..... Cable showed muted reaction to release of downbeat U.K. data in Australia. Reuters reported Prices in British shops fell last month at the fastest rate since records began more than 8 years ago, pulled down by a sharp decline in food prices, the British Retail Consortium said on Wed.

The BRC said retail prices in March were 2.1% lower than a year earlier, marking the largest decline in shop prices since the series started in December 2006. Prices had fallen 1.7% in Feb.

Food prices declined 0.9%, the steepest drop on record, compared with a 0.4% fall the previous month.

The BRC said this boded well for the economy, with strong consumer confidence n falling prices likely to tempt Britons into spending on the high street. Consumer price inflation fell to zero in Feburary for the first time on record. Economists think it may have fallen below zero in March.

Yesterday although the British pound traded with a firm bias in Asia and gained to session high at 1.4920 at European open, price tumbled in tandem with euro to session low at 1.4830 in European morning. However, price pared its losses n rebounded to 1.4912 in NY morning before retreating again in NY afternoon to 1.4840.

Data to be released on Wednesday:

Japan current account, BoJ rate decision, BoJ policy statement, France exports, imports, trade balance, Swiss CPI, EU retail sales and U.S. FOMC minutes.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major USD/JPY

Update Time: 08 Apr 201507:54 GMT

USD/JPY - 119.88

Although dollar's intra-day weakness after release of BoJ unchanged monetary policy suggests consolidation with downside bias would be seen, a daily close below 119.68 (Monday's high) is needed to signal erratic up move from March's 5-week trough at 118.33 has made a top at 120.45 Tuesday and yield weakness to 118.72.

On the upside, above 120.45 would bring stronger retracement of erratic decline from March's near 8-year peak at 122.03 to 120.62 (61.8% r) and then 120.90/00 but pivotal resistance at 121.20 should hold.

Update Time: 09 Apr 2015 01:03 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0765

Yesterday's breach of Tuesday's low at 1.0803 to 1.0763 signals price would continue to gyrate inside early broad range of 1.1062-1.0613 and downside bias is seen for decline from Monday's high of 1.1036 to pressure price to 1.0713 before rebound occurs due to near term loss of momentum.

On the upside, only a move above 1.0887 (yesterday's high) would indicate a low made and bring gain towards resistance at 1.0955.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

09 Apr 2015 02:14GMT

EUR/USD- ...... The single currency remained under pressure in early Asian trading after a roller-coaster session on Wednesday due to renewed broad-based buying in the greenback. Price briefly penetrated o/n NY sup at 1.0763 to 1.061 as st specs gave euro another bashing at 1.0786 at Asian open on stop hunting, however, lack of follow-through selling quickly lifted the pair.

Although euro's sell off on Wednesday suggests near term fall from Monday's high of 1.1036 would resume after consolidation and selling on intra-day recovery is favoured, sharp fall is unlikely to be seen and reckon last week's bottom at 1.0713 would hold as broad outlook remains consolidative at the moment.

Offers are tipped at 1.0780-90 and then around 1.0800 with stops emerging above 1.0820, whilst bids are placed at 1.0750-40 and then 1.0720-10 with stops located just below 1.0700.

Investors should pay attention to the release of German industrial output data. Markets expects factory output to post a monthly change of +0.2% in Jan vs +0.6% in Jan. A downbeat reading would pressure the euro whilst a better-than-expected no. may trigger short covering.

Thursday will see the release of Germany exports, imports, current account, industrial production, trade balance, UK trade balance, BoE rate decision, BoE monetary policy statement, Canada building permits and U.S. wholesale inventories.

Dollar's rise above Tuesday's high of 120.45 to 120.74 yesterday signals for erratic up move from 118.33 (March's 5-week trough) to retrace decline from March's 8-year peak at 122.03 remains in progress and further gain to pivotal resistance at 121.20 would be seen before prospect of a retreat.
