AceTraderFx Sept 12: Daily Outlook on Major EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK EUR/USD - 1.2925

Update Time: 12 Sep 2014 01:04 GMT

Euro's rebound after Wednesday's retreat from 1.2963 to 1.2883 suggests a few days of consolidation above Tuesday's fresh 14-month trough at 1.2860 would be seen, however, reckon daily res at 1.2990 (last Friday's high) would hold and another decline is envisaged later.

Below 1.2860 would signal mid-term downtrend from 1.3995 (July) has once again resumed and bring further weakness to 1.2839 and then possibly towards 1.2800. On the upside, only a daily close above 1.2990 would yield stronger retracement to 1.3030/40 before down.

The greenback continued its recent winning streak in Tokyo morning and rose to a fresh 6-year peak at 107.30, helped by Nikkei as it turned into positive territory after opening down 0.15% at 15885 (currently up 61 points to 15970).

As speculation of Fed may take a hawkish turn at its policy meeting next week continues to boost demand for greenback, buying dlr on dips is recommended.

Investors should pay attention to the release of U.S. retail sales and Uni. of Michigan prelim. consumer sentiment surveys in NY morning as they might give dlr another boost due to the optimism of an increase of 0.6% in August and an improvement to 83.3 respectively.

AceTraderFx Sept 12: Dollar rises to a fresh 6-year high verus yen after dovish .....

Market Review - 11/09/2014 22:33GMT

Dollar rises to a fresh 6-year high verus yen after dovish comments from BOJ governor Kuroda

The greenback jumped to a fresh 6-year high at 107.20 in New York on Thursday after dovish comments from BOJ's governor Kuroda, however, active profit-taking knocked price lower to 106.69 before rebounding.

Bank of Japan's Kuroda said cannot comment on specific FX levels; FX market seems to be focusing on direction of monetary policies of U.S., Japan, Europe; don't see current yen weakness as extremely negative for Japan's economy; U.S. economy is recovering steadily, allowing Fed to taper asset purchases while Bank of Japan is maintaining its massive stimulus; Japan Q2 economy contracted due to tax hike impact but what's important is Q3 rebound, how economy performs thereafter; it's true we saw some weak economic data but expect Jul-Sep GDP to turn positive; not true Bank of Japan has no options available if it were to ease further; we will adjust policy, ready to easy policy further if we feel we are not making steadily progress toward meeting price target; for now, I don't think there is any need for additional policy steps.

The single currency fell briefly to an intra-day low at 1.2897 at European open on Thursday due to cross-selling of euro versus sterling (eur/gbp dropped to 0.7942), however, buying interest on short-covering lifted price to 1.2952 in New York morning before easing.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi urged governments to match the ECB's effort with investment and structural reforms to help the flagging euro zone grow. Draghi said it may also be useful to have a discussion about the overall fiscal stance of the euro zone with a view to raising public investment where possible.

In other news, EU's Van Rompuy said new Russia sanctions will take effect Friday; EU may suspend or amend sanctions based on review of peace moves to be carried out by end-Sep; EU could repeal Russia sanctions in all or in part if situation on ground warrants.

The British pound found renewed buying interest at 1.6186 in Asia and then ratcheted higher to 1.6270 in New York morning before retreating briefly to 1.6214.

Bank of England's Kohn said exit from unconventional monetary policy likely to be positive for UK economy and markets; exit not without dangers, due to possible mispricing of credit, interest rate and liquidity risks; banks should not expect Bank of England to require them hold more capital at every stage of business cycle than before crisis.

Friday will see the relesae of New Zealand's manufacturing PMI, Japan's capacity utility index and industrial output, eurozone employment and industrial production, U.S. exports, imports, retail sales, University of Michigan sentiment and business inventories.

EUR/USD -..... The single currency moved in choppy fashion in fairly thin Asian trading due to closure of financial markets in Japan. Despite opening higher in NZ, failure to re-test Fri's near 1-week high of 1.2980 (intra-day top was 1.2979) prompted selling by st specs, price retreated to 1.2950.

Although range trading is expected to continue, Fri's erratic rise abv 1.2963 res to 1.2980 suggests recent short-covering activities wud continue as Fri's release of CFTC data showed for the 1st time in 15 months, euro shorts pared their short positions. Bids are noted at 1.2950-40 n more below with some stops touted below 1.2900. On the upside, offers are tipped at 1.2980/90 with stops reported building abv the psychological 1.3000 level.

A piece of Reuters news which came out after Fri's close worth noting:

ECB President Mario Draghi promised on Fri the central bank planned asset purchase programme wud be "big" but stressed that only structural reforms by govts could revive the moribund euro zone economy.

Draghi told a news conference following a meeting of FinMins in Milan, "our balance sheet is expected to move towards the size it had at the start of 2012." He declined to give an estimate on the size of the ABS programme, saying "we know it's going to be big, but we are hesitant to give a number now".

Draghi believed recovery was continuing, even though it was "fragile, uneven and weak". However, with interest rates now at their "lower bound", he stressed that it was now up to govts to reform their economies to improve their ability to grow.

"No matter what monetary or even fiscal stimulus can be decided, we won't see much growth coming from these measures ... if there are no serious structural reforms," the ECB chief said.

On Friday closing, the single currency jumped to 1.2979/80 in thin New York trading, however, selling interest there caped euro's upside n price retreated to around 1.2940. Offers are now tipped at 1.2975/80 n more at 1.2990. On the downside, bids are located at 1.2925-20 n more at 1.2910.
