11 Aug 2015 01:09GMT

USD/JPY- ..... Dlr has maintained a steady tone in Asian morning and only budged a little from 124.78 (Europe) to 124.45 in NY session due to active cross-selling in yen despite broad-based sell-off in the greenback.

Initial bids are noted at 124.45-35 and more below with a mixture of bids and stops just below 124.00.

AceTraderFx Aug 11: The yuan which had caused intra-day broad-based rally in the USD

11 Aug 2015 02:14GMT

Reuters reported China devalued the yuan on Tuesday after a run of poor economic data, guiding the currency to its lowest point in almost 3 years.

The central bank described the move as a "one-off depreciation" of nearly 2%, based on a new way of managing the exchange rate that better reflected market forces.

It presented the change in the context of free-market reform and said it would also lengthen trading times.

China manages the exchange rate through an official midpoint, from which trade can rise or fall 2% on any given day.

The People's Bank of China said in a statement it was now basing the midpoint on market makers' quotes and the previous day's closing price.

It weakened the midpoint to 6.2298 per dollar on Tuesday, compared with Monday's 6.1162 mid-point.

USD/JPY - ...... The greenback went thru a mini roller-coaster session as despite initial rise to 124.89 in Asian morning on dlr's strength post PBOC's weakening of the yuan, price briefly retreated to 124.60 in post Tokyo lunch session.

Renewed buying there lifted the pair and dlr rose to session high at 125.08 in early European morning.

However, lack of follow-through buying triggered profit-taking and the pair dropped to 124.76.

Bids have now been lowered to 124.50/60 and more below at 124.30/40 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 125.20/30.

Update Time: 11 Aug 2015 08:18 GMT

USD/JPY - 124.85

Despite dollar's sell-off from a fresh 7-week high at 125.07 to 124.10 in New York session on Friday, intra-day strong rebound on dollar's strength following the move from PBOC to weaken the yuan suggests a re-test of aforesaid resistance is forthcoming.

Break would signal the up-move from July's trough at 120.42 has resumed and extend gain towards 125.37/40 before prospect of a correction due to loss of momentum.

On the downside, only below 124.10 would indicate a temporary top has been made and risk would shift to the downside for a stronger retracement towards 123.52.

AceTraderFx Aug 12: Another round of official devaluation of the Chinese Yuan jolted

Another round of official devaluation of the Chinese yuan jolted Asian market today, causing a broad-based sell-off in Asian stocks n the commodity currencies - Aussie and Kiwi tumbled to fresh 6-year lows.

Reuters reported the move by China's central bank on Tuesday to change the mechanism for setting the daily reference rate for the Yuan "appears a welcome step" as it should allow market forces to have a greater role in determining the exchange rate, the IMF said on Wednesday.

"Greater exchange rate flexibility is important for China as it strives to give market-forces a decisive role in the economy and is rapidly integrating into global financial markets.

"We believe that China can, and should, aim to achieve an effectively floating exchange rate system within two to three years," an IMF spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Referring to the IMF's consideration of whether to include the Yuan, officially called the renminbi, in its Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), the spokesperson said:

"Regarding the ongoing review of the IMF's SDR basket, the announced change has no direct implications for the criteria used in determining the composition of the basket.

Nevertheless, a more market-determined exchange rate would facilitate SDR operations in case the Renminbi were included in the currency basket going forward."

USD/JPY - ..... Dlr briefly climbed above yesterday's 2-month high of 125.21 (NY) to 125.25 as a surprise move by the PBOC to weaken the mid-reference point of the yuan by another 1.618% led to broad-based gain in the greenback, both Aud and Nzd tumbled to fresh 6-year lows and Asian ccys also tanked on this China move.

Although intra-day firmness suggests buying dlr on dips is the way to go, intra-day sell-off in the Nikkei following on weakness in the Dow and fall in U.S. Treasury yields to 3-month lows on Tuesday suggest strong gain is unlikely and upside should falter below 2015 peak at 125.86.

On the upside, offers are tipped at 125.40/50 and more at 125.65/75 with fairly large stops above 125.90/00.
