EUR/USD - 1.1132

Euro's sell off to 1.1118 in New York yesterday after dovish comments from ECB's Benoit Coeure and upbeat U.S. housing data signals erratic up move from March's 12-year trough at 1.0457 has indeed made a temporary top at 1.1467 last Friday and consolidation with downside bias remains for another leg of correction to 1.0662/66, then 1.1020/30 later.

On the upside, only above 1.1217 resistance would abort this bearish scenario and shift risk to upside for stronger gain towards 1.1250/60.

Today's focus for the greenback is the release of FOMC minutes at 18:00GMT and although price has continued to ratchet higher following the upbeat U.S. housing market data released on Tuesday and buying dlr on dips is recommended, sharp gain beyond 121.20 is ahead of the said minutes.

GBP/USD - ....... Although cable tracked euro's intra-day swing closely and fell from Asian high of 1.5524 to 1.5473 in European morning, price then chopped inside 1.5472-1.5499 as investors were reluctant to enter large positions ahead of the BoE minutes and MPC vote outcome at 08:30GMT.

At present, bids are reported at 1.5470-60 with mixture of bids and stops at 1.5450-40.

On the upside, offers from various accounts are placed at 1.5520-30 and then 1.5545/50 with stops building up just above 1.5550.

This morning as cable has rebounded after an initial 'euro-led' brief retreat to 1.5495 in Asian morning, suggesting consolidation was seen ahead of European open, and selling cable was still the way to go.

However, investors would have pay attention to the release of BoE minutes and the MPC vote outcome at 08:30GMT.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 20 May 2015 08:25 GMT

USD/JPY - 120.95

Dollar's erratic rise from last Thursday's low at 118.88 to 121.74 on Tuesday, then intra-day breach of pivotal resistance at 120.84 suggest an 'upside break' of the early 8-week long broad range of 122.03-118.33 has taken place.

Stronger gain to 121.20 and then 121.67 would be seen, however, price should falter well below 122.03 today and bring strong retreat later.

On the downside, only below 119.83/93 would dampen this mildly bullish scenario and bring weakness to 119.20/27 before prospect of a rebound.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 21 May 2015 01:09 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1112

Despite euro's choppy sideways move after extending decline from last Friday's 3-month peak at 1.1467 to 1.1062 yesterday, downside bias remains for said move to retrace the entire up move from March's 12-year trough at 1.0457 to resume after consolidation and yield further weakness to 1.0994 (50% r) but sharp fall below is not likely due to near term loss of momentum.

On the upside, only a daily close above 1.1217 resistance would indicate a low is made and shift risk to upside for stronger gain towards 1.1260/70 and possibly towards 1.1321/26.
