Update Time: 05 Aug 2015 01:04 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0875

Yesterday's breach of last week's low at 1.0894 ansd then daily close below there signals euro's correction from July's 12-week trough at 1.0808 has ended earlier at 1.1129 and consolidation with downside bias remains. However, break of 1.0808 needed to confirm MT decline from 1.1467 (May) has resumed and extend weakness to 1.0700 later in this month.

On the upside, a move back above 1.0988/96 would prolong choppy trading but price should falter well below resistance area a 1.1114-29 and yield another sell-off.

 

AceTraderFx Aug 5: Intra-Day News and Views (USD/JPY) & data to be released today

Intra-day Market Moving News and Views

05 Aug 2015 02:35GMT

USD/JPY- ...... Dlr rallied in NY afternoon session after comments from Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart who said 'Fed is "Close" to being ready to raise short-term rates'. Price rose to 124.41 in NY afternoon n then eased to 124.26 before climbing higher to 124.48 in Asian morning on Wednesday as renewed weakness in eur/usd led to broad-based usd's strength vs its major peers.

Earlier in Asian morning on Wednesday, data showed that Japanese services sector activity expanded in July at a slightly slower pace than the previous month, suggesting only a moderate rebound in the economy after an expected contraction in the second quarter. The Markit/Nikkei Japan Services PMI fell to a seasonally adjusted 51.2 in July from 51.8 in June.

In Asia and early Europe, dlr's intra-day firmness vs Japanese yen in Tokyo morning on Wednesday suggests consolidation with upside bias would be seen and buying the pair on dips is recommended.

However, sharp gain above last week's top at 124.58 is not envisaged and price should falter below 125.00 ahead of the release of a slew of U.S. eco. reports in NY morning, these include ADP employment, U.S. international trade balance, Markit services PMI and ISM-mfg PMI.

At the moment, bids from various accounts are noted in 124.20-124.00 region with stops below 123.80 whilst some offers are tipped at 124.50-60 and more above with stop touted above 124.80.

Wednesday will see the release of New Zealand's HLFS unemployment rate and labour cost index, China's Caixin services PMI, Swiss CPI, Germany's, eurozone and U.K. Markit services PMI respectively, eurozone retail sales, U.S. ADP National employment, Canada's exports, imports and trade balance, U.S. ISM non-manufacturing PMI.

EUR/USD - 1.0913

Despite euro's sharp retreat from 1.0938 to 1.0850 in New York after release of upbeat U.S. services PMI and ISM non-manufacturing PMI, subsequent rebound after holding above yesterday's low at 1.0848 (Asia) suggests further choppy trading would continue.

However, as early breach of last week's bottom at 1.089 indicates correction from July's 12-week trough at 1.0808 has ended earlier at 1.1129, consolidation with downside bias remains but below 1.0808 needed to confirm MT decline from 1.1467 (May) has resumed and extend weakness to 1.0700 later in this month.

On the upside, only a move back above 1.0988/96 would shift risk to upside for stronger gain to 1.1060/70 but resistance area a 1.1114-29 should remain intact.

GBP/USD - 1.5623.. Sterling has maintained a firm undertone in Asia following yesterday's strong rebound from a 2-week low of 1.5526 as market participants are bracing themselves for what many termed BoE's 'Super Thursday' where the central bank's rate decision, MPC minutes (released for the 1st time ever concurrently with the rate announcement) as well as BoE's economic outlook in its quarterly Inflation Report, will be released all at the same time at 11:00GMT, then Governor Mark Carney's press conference 45 minutes later.

It is obvious market's immediate attention is on the MPC's vote outcome. Market is expecting 2 dissenters from the 9-member policymakers, however, if this is the case, the pound may briefly climb but may not be able to penetrate July's 1.5691 top as traders have already positioned themselves long into the triple-whammy release.

In the unlikely event MPC reveals only one or no dissenter and the Inflation Report does not contain bullish outlook for the economy (you'll need to be a 'quick' reader to hit the dealing button in time), then be prepared for a 150-200 points sell-off in cable. Good luck and be nimble and be quick !

USD/JPY - 124.90

Dollar's rally above last Thursday's 7-week peak at 124.58 to 125.01 in New York on Wednesday signals upmove from 120.42 (July) has resumed and further gain is envisaged after consolidation.

However, reckon price may falter below June's near 13-year peak at 125.86 ahead of Friday's key U.S. jobs report and yield retreat later.

On the downside, only below 124.58 (previous resistance, now support) would indicate a temporary top is made and shift risk to downside for retracement towards 124.02 but support at 123.80 should remain intact.

Update Time: 07 Aug 2015 01:12 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0927

Despite euro's retreat from 1.0944 to 1.0873 in Europe on Thursday, subsequent intra-day rebound after holding above Wednesday's low at 1.0848 (Asia) suggests further choppy trading would continue ahead of the release of today's key U.S. jobs report.

However, as early breach of last week's bottom at 1.0894 indicates correction from July's 12-week trough at 1.0808 has ended earlier at 1.1129, consolidation with downside bias remains but below 1.0808 needed to confirm MT decline from 1.1467 (May) has resumed and extend weakness to 1.0700 later in this month.

On the upside, only a move back above 1.0988/96 would shift risk to upside for stronger gain to 1.1060/70 but resistance area a 1.1114-29 should remain intact.
