EUR/USD - 1.2947.. Euro gains temporary respite in Asia n European morning after experiencing the steepest 1-day fall in 2014, courtesy of ECB's surprise rate cuts & additional stimulus measures.
Although the early release of very upbeat German industrial production (Jul industrial output posted biggest gain since Mar 2012) failed to trigger a short-covering rebound in the single ccy, euro bears, after enjoying a field day bashing the euro yesterday, are keeping their powder dry ahead of release of anticipated robust U.S. jobs data later in the day. Expect range trading n position adjustments until the key U.S. NFP data at 12:30GMT. Initial offers are tipped at 1.2945/50 n more above with stops touted above 1.2995/1.3000 whilst bids are noted at 1.2910-00 with some stops below there.
A word of warning, as market is very very short in the euro, anything short of 220k in U.S. jobs growth may well trigger a broad-based short-covering rally in the euro whilst a robust 230-250k growth is likely to facilitate structural shorts to book profit ahead of the w/end. Be nimble n be quick after the U.S. jobs data.
Geman July industrial output +1.9% m/m vs revised +0.4% in June.
Earlier, German Econ Min said 'July's increase strengthens view positive trend in industry continues to the extend that geopolitical developments allow.'
Euro showed muted reaction to the upbeat data n continued to hover above yesterday's fresh near 14-month low at 1.2920. Bids are noted at 1.2910-00 with mixture of bids n stops located at 1.2895/90 n 1.2880. On the upside, offers are placed at 1.2940-50 n around 1.2965/70 with stops emerging above 1.2990.

08 Sep 2014 02:12GMT
USD/JPY - .... The greenback went through a mini 'roller-coaster' session in early Monday trading. Although price dipped to 104.93 partly on selling in stg/yen & eur/yen, intra-day steep fall in the pound at NZA open lifted the dlr broadly and price quickly pared initial loss and climbed to 105.23 but offers below Fri's NY high at 105.26 checked dlr's upside n price edged lower ahead of Tokyo open.
Dlr showed muted reaction to a downward revision to Japan's Q2 GDP which showed Japan's Q2 growth shrank to 7.1% annually vs previous reading of -6.8% (but not far fm forecast of -7.0%). The GDP contraction was the steep since Q1 2009 after the Lehman crash.
Range trading is expected after Fri's strong retreat from a near 6-year peak of 105.71 (AUS) to as low as 104.69 after a surprise disappointing U.S. payrolls.
Initial bids are noted at 105.95/00 and more below with fairly large stops touted below 104.65. On the upside, offers are tipped at 105.20-30 and more at 105.45/55, suggesting choppy consolidation would continue.
Next weekwill see the release of Japan's current account, revised GDP and economy watcher poll, Swiss unemployment rate, Germany's imports, exports and trade balance, Swiss CPI and retail sales, eurozone Sentix index and Canada's building permits on Monday.
U.K. BRC retail sales, Bank of Japan's meeting minutes, Australia's NAH business confidence, Japan's consumer confidence index, U.K. industrial and manufacturing output, goods trade balance, Canada's housing starts on Tuesday.

GBP/USD - ..... Cable was the biggest mover in Asian morning and continues to take centre stage at European open. Short-term specs (European early birds) were spotted selling sterling broadly earlier and intra-day sup at 1.6165 (NZ) gave way without heavy bashing, the pound touched a fresh near 10-month low of 1.6145 (Reuters).
Despite intra-day resumption of recent downtrend, as price is trading nearly 2 cents below Fri's close of around 1.6331, further steep fall looks unlikely n risk is seen for another corrective bounce back twd Asian 1.6333 high later in the day.
Another piece of sterling-bearish news: British manufacturers are cautious about increasing levels of capital spending, a trade group said on Mon, raising questions as to whether a recent pick-up in business investment is sustainable in the long term.
A new survey by the EEF manufacturers' group n Lombard Asset Finance (conducted between Apr 30 n May 14 with 173 companies responding) found that most firms had only moderate investment plans which focused largely on replacing outdated technology.
Business investment, key to boosting productivity, has grown for 5 quarters in a row but still lags well behind pre-recession levels and is below spending in other countries. Only 1 in 3 manufacturing firms taking part in the survey said they will invest the same on plant n machinery in the next 2 years as they did in the previous 2.
Earlier, the poll conducted by YouGov for the Sun Times forced those who had brushing off a lead by the supporters for Scottish independence eat humble pies at their breakfast tables yesterday.
Reuters reported showed supporters of independence had taken their first opinion poll lead since the referendum campaign began. With less than 2 weeks to go before the vote, the poll put the "Yes" to independence campaign on 51% n the "No: camp on 49%, overturning a 22-point lead for the unionist position in just a month.
British FinMin George Osborne said on Sun plans would be set out in the coming days to give Scotland more autonomy on tax, spending n welfare if Scots vote against independence in a historic referendum on Sept. 18. PM David Cameron had, ironically, vetoed a third ballot option for greater devolution, betting that the stark choice of yes or no to independence would deliver a clear victory for the status quo as cautious voters turned away from an uncertain future.
Osborne told the BBC "You will see in the next few days a plan of action to give more powers to Scotland ... Then Scotland will have the best of both worlds. They will both avoid the risks of separation but have more control over their own destiny, which is where I think many Scots want to be."

GBP/USD- ...... The pound swung wildly on Tuesday. Although short-covering lifted the cable from yesterday's Asian fresh near 10-month bottom at 1.6065 and price rose to 1.6157 in Europe after hawkish comments from BOE governor Mark Carney, cable fell to a session low of 1.6060 in NY midday before staging another rebound to 1.6126 near the close and then to 1.6139 at Asian open.
Sterling is expected to gain respite ahead of the U.K. Inflation Report hearing (13:45GMT), buying cable on dips for intra-day trade is recommended. However, position traders can look to sell on further gain as market jitters ahead of the Sept. 18 Scottish referendum should pressure the pair lower later this week.
Bids from various accounts are noted at 1.6110-10 and then 1.6085 with stops below 1.6060 (not large).
Offers are tipped at 1.6135/40 and more at 1.615/60 with mixture of offers and stops near 1.6180/90.

The greenback maintained a firm undertone on Tue n rose to 106.39 in European morning, then later to a fresh 6-year high of 106.49 in NY due to dollar's broad-based strength but weakness in the U.S. stocks triggered profit-taking in the dlr, knocking the pair to 106.04 near NY close.

11 Sep 2014
USD/JPY - ..... The greenback continued its recent winning streak on Wednesday on speculation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates sooner in 2015 than earlier anticipated.
Active cross-selling in Japanese yen n rise in Treasury yields fueled demand for greenback and price rose to a fresh 6-year high of 106.89 in NY afternoon before easing to 106.64 in Tokyo morning as the Nikkei pares initial gain (however, currently still up by 75 points).
As market expects today's U.S. weekly initial jobless claims to show claims in the first week of Sept will be 300K from 302K in previous week, while U.S. retail sales and consumer-sentiment reports will also come in solid this Friday, buying dlr on dips is recommended.
Bids are noted at 106.60-50,106.35/30 and then 106.20 with stops emerging below 106.00.
On the upside, offers are placed at 106.90-00 and around 107.20 with stops emerging further out above 107.50.
Fuji News Network reported, citing unidentified sources, 'Japan PM Abe, BoJ gov Kuroda to hold meeting on Thursday to exchange views on the state of the economy.'
