. USD/CHF - 0.9646... Despite a brief recovery to 0.9601 in Australia on Mon, intra-day sell off in dlr/yen led to broad-based usd's weakness n pressured price to 0.9553 in Asian morning. However, dlr quickly pared its losses n rose to 0.9624 in Europe n then to session high of 0.9652 in NY morning.
. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, despite y'day's retreat to 0.9553, subsequent strg rebound suggests the 1st leg of correction fm Nov's fresh 1-year peak at 0.9742 has ended there n consolidation with upside bias wud be seen. Abv res 0.9689 (last Fri's high) wud add credence to this view n extend gain to 0.9700 (last Tue's top), however, aforesaid peak may hold initially n yield more choppy consolidation. On the downside, only below 0.9553 wud indicate the corrective decline fm 0.9742 has resumed instead n turn outlook bearish for further weakness twds 0.9511 (prev. res, now sup).
. Today, in view of near term bullish bias, we are buying dlr on dips for gain to 0.9700 n only below 0.9574 (Fri's low) wud indicate recovery fm y'day's low at 0.9553 has ended n risk re-test of this lvl later.

Despite a brief sell off but sharp sell off from 117.05 to 116.35 after the announcement, speculation for new stimulus measures from BoJ after 2-day meeting on Wednesday pushed price higher in NY and dlr eventually rose to a fresh 7-year peak at 117.21 in Tokyo morning b4 retreating.
Today's focus in Asia will be on the BoJ's monetary policy announcement n then the conference in Asian midday.
BOJ board may call for a bleaker view to be given this time, however, any signs that Kuroda's conviction about the recovery is wavering may spur speculation of more easing early next year.
As dlr has resumed its recent strong ascent in Asia, buying on dips is recommended.
Bids are noted at 116.80-70 with mixture of bids and stops located at 116.55/50 and 116.25/20.

EUR/USD- ...... The single currency swung wildly on Wednesday as despite ratcheting higher from Asian low at 1.2513 to a fresh near 3-week high at 1.2602 in NY after release of FOMC minutes, renewed broad-based buying in greenback emerged and quickly knocked price down to 1.2525.
Later, euro recovered to 1.2556 in Thursday's Australia before retreating to 1.2530 in Asian morning.
The overnight sell off and failure to close above 1.2600 level yesterday suggest initial choppy trading with downside bias would be seen and selling euro on recovery ahead of the release of a slew of PMI reports from EU and its member countries in European morning is the favorable strategy.

On the downside, bids are placed at 1.2510-00 and around 1.2480 with stops located just below 1.2450.

USD/JPY - ...... Dlr went through a roller coaster session on Thursday as despite an initial rally to a fresh 7-year peak at 118.98 shortly European open, selling interest located below 119.00 level knocked price lower ahead of NY open.
The greenback eventually fell to 117.74 in NY morning after release of worse-than-expected U.S. jobless claims and soft inflation data before rebounding to 118.32 due to upbeat U.S. existing home sales figures.
Dlr briefly climbed to 118.37 in Friday Tokyo morning and then tumbled to 117.45 on risk aversion due to intra-day fall in Nikkei (currently down 0.9% to 17144) and comments from Japan FinMin Aso (see our prev. MMN).
Although dlr's intra-day sell off below 117.74 support signals further choppy trading below yesterday's top at 118.98 would continue and selling on recovery is recommended, price may find support near 117.00 level as growing divergence of economic and monetary policy developments between the U.S. and Japan should continue to provide support to the pair.
Bids are noted 117.40-30 n then 117.10-00 with mixture of bids and stops emerging just below 117.00.
On the upside, offers from various accounts are placed at 117.90/00, 118.20-30 and more near 118.50 level.
Friday will release U.K. PSNCR and Canada CPI.

USD/JPY - ...... .Japan PM Adviser Hamada said, quote:
'Abenomics working well but negative impact from April sales tax hike stronger than expected;
dlr/yen at Y120 positive for overall Japan economy but steps needed to ease impact on consumers;
consumer inflation around 1.5% is acceptable under current jobs mkt situation;
corporate tax rate should be cut to closer to 20%.'
The greenback briefly retreated to 117.60 after his comments. Earlier, dlr rebounded to 117.98 after intra-day sharp sell off to a fresh 1-week low at 117.36 in Tokyo morning as Nikkei turned from negative to positive territory and ended the day up 0.33% at 17357.
Bids are noted at 117.45/40 and then 117.25/20 with mixture of bids and stops emerging below 117.00, whilst offers are located at 117.80-90 and more at 118.15/20 and 118.30/35 with stops placed just above 118.50.
Earlier news reported that PM Shinzo Abe dissolved parliament's lower house for an election on Friday, seeking a fresh mandate for his struggling Abenomics revival strategy just two years after he returned to power promising that "Japan is Back".
The speaker of the lower house read the dissolution proclamation to a plenary session of the chamber.
No election for parliament's lower house needed to be held until late 2016. But Abe is hoping to cement his grip on power before his support ratings, now below 40 percent in some surveys but still sturdy by Japanese standards, slip further.
The date of the election, expected to be on Dec. 14, will officially be set at a cabinet meeting in the afternoon.

EUR/USD - ..... The single currency weakened broadly on Friday after dovish comments from ECB's President Mario Draghi. Euro fell sharply against the greenback from 1.2553 to 1.2424 in European morning and continued to ratchet lower after a brief recovery to 1.2460.
Later, the pair fell to as low as 1.2375 in NY and then 1.2360 at Mon's NZ open before recovering in thin Asian session.
Although euro's failure to test Nov's 26-month trough at 1.2357 suggests price is likely to stage a recovery ahead of European open, the single currency is expected to undergo another round of selling pressure later in the day due to recent 'negative sentiment'.
Therefore, whilst investors may look to buy euro on dips for a recovery towards 1.2400 for st trade, preferred strategy is selling on intra-day rebound.
Bids are placed at 1.2370-60 with stops emerging just below 1.2350.
On the upside, offers are located at 1.2390-00 and then 1.2415/20 with mixture of offers and stops noted at 1.2440/45 and just above 1.2450.

Meanwhile, the Current Assessment sub-index is also seen edging down to 107.9, after posting a figure of 108.4 a month ago. Only the IFO Expectations Index is projected to rise to 98.6, from 98.3 in Oct.

USD/JPY- 118.06... Despite dlr's brief rise above NY res at 118.48 to 118.57 ahead of Asian open at the beginning of release of BoJ meeting minutes, price retreated subsequently as the minutes showed 4 out of the 9 BoJ board members were opposed to conducting additional easy policy because they worried about side-effects after expanding an aggressive easing program.
Dlr's intra-day fall accelerated after comments from BoJ's Governor Kuroda and then tanked to 117.80 before recovering.
Although broad-day buying of yen in Tokyo morning suggests selling dlr/yen pair on recovery is recommended, investors can look to book profit on next intra-day fall as last Friday's bottom at 117.36 (reaction low from 119.98 top) is expected to hold ahead of the speech from BOJ deputy governor Nakaso at 04:00GMT, followed by Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda press conference at 04:45GMT.
Offers from various accounts are noted at 118.15/20 and then 118.30-40 with mixture of offers and stops located at 118.55-65.
On the downside, bids are placed at 117.70/65, 117.55/50 with stops emerging just below 117.30.
Tuesdaywill see the release of Japan's BoJ meeting minutes, New Zealand's RBNZ inflation expectation, German GDP, U.S. prelimary GDP, PCE prices and Redbook, Canada's retail sales and U.S. monthly home price and consumer confidence.
