AceTraderFx May 12: Daily Recommendations on Major -EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 12 May 2015 01:00 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1140

Euro's intra-day breach of Friday's low at 1.1179 to 1.1131 in New York on lack of positive development after the special Euro group meeting.

This is suggesting the fall from last Thursday's 10-week peak at 1.1392 to correct recent strong up move has once again resumed and weakness towards 1.1090/00 is envisaged.

However, loss of momentum should keep price above 1.1062 (previous res, now sup) today and yield rebound later.

On the upside, only above 1.1228/37 area signals 1st leg of correction is over but 1.1290 (Friday's New York high) should hold from here.

 

AceTraderFx May 12: Intra-Day News and Views (USD/JPY) & data to be released today

Intra-day Market Moving News and Views

12 May 2015 02:37GMT

USD/JPY- ...... Dlr maintained a firm undertone in Asia on Tuesday as yesterday's sell off in U.S. treasuries ( U.S. 30-year bond yields rallied 15 basis points to a fresh 5-month high of 3.0522% ) underpinned the greenback. Price extended up move from Monday's low at 119.47 (NZ) on renewed broad-based buying in the dlr ahead of Asian open n climbed marginally higher above NY high of 120.15 to 120.18 b4 easing in part due to cross-buying in yen vs other major ccys.

Expect consolidation with upside bias remains ahead of European open and buying dlr on dips is recommended, however, sharp gain beyond last week's peak at 120.51 is unlikely to be seen as market focus is on other dlr majors. At present, bids from various accounts are noted at 120.00-119.90 and more at 119.80-70 with a mixture of bids and stops at 119.55-45.

On the upside, offers are tipped at 120.25/30 n then 120.40-50 with more selling interest touted at 120.70/80.

A piece of hawkish news on Monday worth noting Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams (voting member) who told CNBC that the Fed is unlikely to provide much warning ahead of an increase in short-term interest rates.

Tuesdaywill see the release of U.K. BRC retail sales, Japan's leading indicator, U.K. industrial and manufacturing output, U.S. Redbook and Federal budget.

Whilst on the upside, offers from various accounts reported at 1.1210-20 and then 1.1220/25 with mixture of offers and stops at 1.1240-50.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 12 May 2015 08:07 GMT

USD/JPY - 120.05

Despite dollar's intra-day retreat after a brief rise above 120.24 (Friday) to 120.27 in Asia, price is expected to continue to gyrate inside April's tight range of 120.84-118.50 as long as 119.47 (Monday's low in NZ) holds, consolidation with upside bias remains but only a break of 120.84 would extend gain to 121.20.

On the downside, below 119.47 would shift risk to downside for weakness to 119.06 and possibly marginal weakness but support at 118.50 should remain intact.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 13 May 2015 01:27 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1217

Despite euro's retreat after intra-day rally from 1.1134 to 1.1279 on Tuesday, as this move suggests correction from last Thursday's 10-week peak at 1.1392 has ended Monday at 1.1131, choppy trading with upside bias remains.

Looking ahead, a daily close above 1.1325 (previous support, now resistance) would confirm this view and bring resumption of upmove from March's 12-year trough at 1.0457 to re-test said temporary top, then 1.1440/50.

On the downside, only below 1.1131/34 would shift risk to downside for stronger retracement towards 1.1060/62.

USD/JPY- ......more on comments from BoJ Gov. Kuroda:

'main transmission channel of BoJ's stimulus programme is to lower real interest rates;

Japan's real interest rates have fallen significantly as inflation expectations have risen as a whole from a somewhat long-term perspective;

BoJ's monetary policy does not directly target FX but excessively stronger yen has been reversed since introduction of QQE;

Japan likely to see consumer inflation hit 2 pct around first half of fiscal 2016;

won't hesitate to adjust monetary policy if needed to achieve 2 pct inflation.

'last year's sales tax hike had bigger impact on economy, prices than expected but economy's positive momentum remains intact;

don't see any moves in asset prices or among financial institutions based on excessive expectations;

Japan's long-term rates are low due to QQE, having positive impact on economy;

natural for Japan's rates to rise if there are expectations that economy and prices will improve.'

 

AceTraderFx May 13: Daily Recommendations on Major -JPY/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 13 May 2015 08:08 GMT

USD/JPY - 119.82

Dollar's retreat after a brief rise above 120.24 (Friday) to 120.27 yesterday suggests further choppy trading inside April's tight range of 120.84-118.50 would continue and near term downside bias is seen for weakness to 119.47 (Monday's low).

However, reckon last week's bottom at 119.06 would remain intact and bring rebound later.

On the upside, only above 120.27 would shift risk to upside for a re-test of May's peak at 120.51, break would extend gain towards 120.84.

 

AceTraderFx May 14: Daily Recommendations on Major -EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time:14 May 2015 01:15 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1357

Euro's intra-day rally from 1.1202 to as high as 1.1383 on Wednesday signals correction from last Thursday's 10-week peak at 1.1392 has ended at 1.1131 (Monday) and re-test of this resistance is seen.

Break would confirm erratic upmove from March's 12-year trough at 1.0457 has resumed and bring further gain towards daily chart objective at 1.1450 later.

On the downside, only a failure to penetrate 1.1392 resistance and then move back below 1.1279 (Tue high, now support) would indicate further choppy trading inside 1.1392-1.1131 would continue and risk weakness towards 1.1202.
