29 Dec 2015 07:39GMT

GBP/USD - ..... Cable pares yesterday's cross-inspired decline to 1.4874 (NEW YORK) as short-term specs sold sterling broadly after some economists predicted flooding in the northern part of England may cut 0.2% off U.K. GDP. However, the pound edged higher on short-covering in Australia and continued to ratchet higher in Asian session and just hit intra-day top of 1.4111, suggesting consolidation with mild upside bias remains.

As no U.K. are due out for the rest of this week, cable is expected to track intra-day swings in the euro.

Order book is pretty light with some bids noted at 1.4880-70 and some stops are touted below there.

Offers are tipped at 1.4920/30 and more with stops reported above 1.4950, suggesting buying cable on dips is favoured.

EUR/USD - ...... The euro is nursing loss in subdued Asian trading after yesterday's surprise intra-day selloff from 1.0992 (Europe) to as low as 1.0899.

Although the pair staged a rebound from European morning low at 1.0960 to 1.0992, offers at 1.0990/95 capped intra-day gain and euro tumbled broadly at New York open as massive selling (presumably from North American names) knocked price sharply lower, triggering stops below 1.0950, then 1.0920, price tried to stabilise after hitting 1.0909 and staged a recovery to 1.09843 before another fall to said session lows of 1.0899.

Expect consolidation to take place as Asian traders are on the sideline, however, offers are tipped at 1.0935/45 and more above and initial bids are touted at 1.0910-00 with more stops below 1.0895, suggesting selling euro on recovery is recommended.

EUR/USD - 1.0924

Yesterday's selloff from 1.0992 (Europe) to as low as 1.0899 in NY session confirms euro's early erratic rise from 1.0802 has made a top at 1.0993 on Mon and consolidation with downside bias remains for a strong retracement of this move and as long as 1.0958/60 (previous sup, now res) holds, downside bias is seen for weakness towards 1.0870, however, near term loss of momentum should keep price above 1.0848/53 today.

AceTraderFx Jan 4: Intra-Day News and Views (USD/JPY) & data to be released today

Intra-day Market Moving News and Views

04 Jan 2016 02:00GMT

Today is PMI day for global markets. Reuters reported Japanese manufacturing activity expanded in December at the same pace as the previous month as new orders grew at a faster rate in a sign the economy maintained momentum at the end of 2015, a revised survey showed on Monday.

The Markit/Nikkei Final Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was a seasonally adjusted 52.6 in December versus a flash reading of 52.5 and unchanged from a final 52.6 in November - the highest reading since March 2014.

The index remained above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction for the eighth consecutive month. The final index for new orders was 54.2, up from a preliminary 54.1 and a final 53.6 in the previous month.

For new export orders, the final number fell to 52.2 from a flash reading of 52.4 and from a final 53.2 in November, the survey also showed.

Japan's economy dodged recession in the third quarter with the initial estimate of a contraction revised to an annualised expansion of 1.0 percent due to gains in capital expenditure, data showed last month.

An unexpected rise in machinery orders also suggests that business investment could help underpin growth due to improving corporate activity and domestic demand.

Reuters reported Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said today that Japan was no longer in deflation, while pledging that the government and the central bank would work together to completely defeat it.

When later asked whether such statement may be taken as hasty judgment on deflation, Abe said Japan has still not completely conquered deflation.

 

AceTraderFx Jan 4: China's manufacturing PMI

The Caixin/Markit China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)

04 Jan 2016 02:05GMT

The important China's manufacturing PMI just came out which missed market forecast. Reuters reported China's factory activity contracted for the 10th straight month in December and at a sharper pace than in November, a private survey showed, dampening hopes that the world's second-largest economy will enter 2016 on a more stable footing.

The Caixin/Markit China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) slipped to 48.2 in December, below market expections of 49.0 and down from November's reading of 48.6. The reading was the lowest since September, remaining well below the 50-point level which demarcates contraction from expansion on a monthly basis.

Weighed down by weak demand at home and abroad, factory overcapacity and cooling investment, China is expected to post its weakest economic growth in 25 years in 2015, with growth seen cooling to around 7% from 7.3% in 2014.

Some market watchers suspect real growth is actually much lower than official data suggest. The government is expected to increase its budget deficit to about 3 percent of gross domestic product in 2016 to help cushion the slowing economy, while the central bank is expected to make further cuts in interest rates and banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR).

After picking up for the first time in seven months in November, the output sub-index dropped to 48.7, its lowest reading in three months, with anecdotal evidence suggesting firms had cut output due to relatively soft market conditions and weaker demand from clients.

As companies cut costs and downsized, employment was also hit, falling to 47.3 in December, the 26th month in a row that manufacturers have shed staff. New export orders contracted after two months of expansion, pointing to a weak start for factories in 2016.

Total new orders shrank for a sixth month, highlighting soft domestic demand as well.
