AceTraderFx Apr 1: A Technical Recession In Japan's Economy Is Increasing

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views (USD/JPY)

01 Apr 2016 03:04GMT

The Markit/Nikkei Final Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell to 49.1 in March on a seasonally adjusted basis, but unchanged from a preliminary reading and below the final 50.1 in February.

A latest business survey showed that Japan's manufacturing activity contracted in March is at the fastest pace in more than three years as new export orders shrank sharply, adding to fears on the world's third-largest economy is sliding back into recession.

The reading fell below the 50 threshold that separates contraction from expansion for the first time since April last year, and contracted at the fastest pace since February 2013.

The sub-index for new export orders sank to 46.1, above the flash reading of 45.9 but still well below the 49.0 recorded in February.

New export orders contracted at the fastest since January 2013.

Factory output contracted, albeit mildly, for the first time since April 2015, after growth slowed sharply in February.

That has increased the chances that the economy is in a technical recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction in gross domestic product.

Japan's government is considering extra fiscal stimulus to pull the economy out of its funk, and there is a growing chance it will delay a sales tax hike scheduled for next year to ease the burden on domestic demand.

Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso speaking at a news conference after a cabinet meeting on Friday that the sentiment at some companies has turned cautious recently but on the whole firms remain confident about the economy's prospects and that the leading indicators show capital expenditure is rising, which is a positive sign that things are going well for corporate Japan.

But the confidence at big Japanese manufacturers worsened in the three months to March and is seen falling further ahead, a closely watched Bank of Japan survey showed on Friday.

BOJ Kuroda Is Keen ToFurtherExpand The Monetary Policy

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views (USD/JPY)

05 Apr 2016 03:02GMT

Bank of Japan's Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told the parliament that the market moves would be key factors the central bank would examine in deciding when and how it might next expand stimulus and he stressed on his readiness to expand monetary policy still further.

Kuroda maintained his optimism that Japan's economy was recovering moderately, despite last week's "tankan" survey which showed business mood souring on weak emerging market demand. The yen's recent rises were among factors that led to a deterioration in big manufacturers' business sentiment in the central bank's quarterly "tankan" survey.

But he reiterated that BOJ's readiness to ease again if risks threatened prospects for accelerating inflation, which is now at a dead halt, toward its 2 percent target. Kuroda said BOJ would not hesitate to take action either by accelerating asset purchases, buying more risky assets or pushing interest rates deeper into negative territory.

Wile neither would the BOJ pre-determine on what steps it would take or how it could combine measures were it to ease again, Kuroda continued to say that developments in financial markets, as well as in the economy and in prices, would be key factors for the BOJ when deciding whether, when and how it would expand stimulus.

In January BOJ stunned markets on the negative interest rates, but the move has so far failed to boost stock prices or arrest an unwelcome rise in the yen.

Japan's business sentiment worsened in the three months to March and companies' inflation expectations weakened, keeping pressure on the central bank to do more.

Companies have also been reluctant to boost capital expenditure and wages, clouding the outlook for the success of premier Shinzo Abe's "Abenomics" stimulus policies. While wages rose for the first time in four months in February but only at 0.4 percent from a year earlier.

Japan's economy shrank in October-December last year on weak exports and consumption. Many analysts expect it to show another contraction in January-March, posting two straight quarters of negative growth and meeting the technical definition of a recession.

AceTraderFx Apr 5: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views (GBP/USD)

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

05 Apr 2016 09:31GMT

GBP/USD- ...... Britain's economy appears to have slowed since the start of this year as worries about the global economy, government spending cuts and a vote on staying in the European Union take their toll, a closely watched survey showed on Tuesday.

Financial data company Markit said its Purchasing Managers Index for services recovered only slightly last month after reaching its lowest in nearly three years in February.

Official data last week showed Britain's economy did slightly better than thought at the end of 2015, but the Markit figures, which economists use as a guide to future official numbers, suggest 2016 got off to a weak start.

Combined with sub-par readings for manufacturing and construction, Markit said its service PMI pointed to a fall in quarterly economic growth in the first three months of 2016 to 0.4 percent, from 0.6 percent in the final three months of 2015.

Britain's economy grew 2.3 percent last year. Government forecasters expect growth to slow to 2.0 percent in 2016.

Britain will hold a referendum on whether to leave the EU on June 23.

A poll of businesses on Monday showed the possibility of a vote in favour of leaving is causing companies to put investment plans on hold.

The weaker growth forecasts left finance minister George Osborne hunting for savings in last month's budget.

The Markit/CIPS services PMI - which covers the private-sector services that make up about 40 percent of Britain's economy - rose to 53.7 in March from February's near three-year low of 52.7, in line with economists' expectations.

Monday's construction PMI and Friday's survey of manufacturers were lacklustre, too.

The combined index for the three measures inched up to 53.7 in March from 52.9.

Services generated new business at the slowest rate since January 2013, and the readings for hiring and business expectations were among the weakest in the past three years.
