Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

25 Feb 2016 03:11GMT

USD/JPY - ...... Dlr went through a coaster-roller ride in volatile Wednesday session. Price fell initially to 111.64 in Asia before staging short-covering rebound to 112.27 after BoJ Gov Kuroda's dovish comments but only to tumble to a 2-week trough of 111.04 as decline in global stocks triggered broad-based buying of yen and chf on risk aversion.

However, rally in the Dow & oil prices in New York afternoon resulted in a ferocious active short-covering in the dlr, price climbed back to as high as 112.21 in Australia, then marginally above there ahead of Tokyo lunch break.

The fact that USD managed to hold above February's 15-month bottom at 110.99 and staged a sharp bounce from 111.04 yesterday, suggesting further choppy sideways swings above 110.99 would continue and as long as global stocks continue to move sideways, then one can expect another try to the upside side in next few days.

Bids are noted at 111.90-80 and more below and a mixture of offers and stops is reported at 112.50/60 area, suggesting buying USD on dips is favoured today.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

25 Feb 2016 04:05GMT

EUR/USD - ..... Euro trades narrowly in subdued Asian morning after yesterday's roller-coaster session.

Although price came under renewed selling due partly to active selling in eur/yen, price tumbled in Europe after tripping stops below Tuesday's 1.0990, the pair fell to a 3-week trough of 1.0957 at London midday before ratcheting higher to 1.1046 in New York on active short-covering after downbeat U.S. services PMI and new home sales data

Although euro has pared intra-day gain in New York afternoon, the fact that said yesterday's rally from 1.0957 signals a temp. low is made, broad sideways swings are in store and risk has tilted to the upside for more short-covering rise.

Offers are tipped at 1.1045/55 and more above with stops touted above 1.1075, however, there is market chatter of fairly large stops above 1.1100. Initial bids are noted at 1.1005-1.0990 area and more below with stops below 1.0950.

Pay attention to German Gfk consumer confidence for March and German inflation data at 07:00GMT and then Italy's consumer business and consumer confidence at 09:00GMT.

AceTraderFx Feb 25: Daily Recommendations on Major -USD/JPY

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 25 Feb 2016 09:37 GMT

USD/JPY - 112.17

Despite the greenback's selloff to a fresh 2-week trough at 111.04, subsequent strong rebound suggests further choppy trading above February's low at 110.99 would continue with upside bias and gain towards 112.63 is likely to be seen. However, as broad outlook remains consolidative, reckon resistance at 113.05 should remain intact and bring another fall later today or early tomorrow.

On the downside, only below 111.04 would revive bearishness for a re-test of 110.99, break would confirm recent downtrend has resumed and yield further weakness towards 110.40/50.

AceTraderFx Feb 26: IMF at G20 will call for a coordinated stimulus programme to support a slowing global economy

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

26 Feb 2016 01:33GMT

G20 meeting is meet in Shanghai starting today to discuss ways to calm global markets and spur economic growth, and are likely to declare their readiness to take action if conditions worsen.

Chinese policymakers sought on Thursday to reassure trading partners that they can manage their economy and financial markets smoothly while driving structural reforms, following recent concern voiced by foreign officials and economists about Beijing's recent record.

Finance Minister Lou Jiwei and People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan will likely hammer home the message that Beijing has everything under control when they speak this morning.

Global economic malaise and wobbly markets overshadow the meeting of the finance minister and central bank governors of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies on Friday and Saturday.

G20 financial leaders are likely to push for better implementation of the already agreed reforms and an assessment of where implementation is lacking and why. But many economists and officials are sceptical that much would come from the G20.

A report published by IMF called for a coordinated stimulus programme to support a slowing global economy.

Still, an official with the European Union said G20 policymakers recognise elevated risks and likely will declare readiness to act if global economic conditions worsen.

G20 financial leaders are likely to push for better implementation of the already agreed reforms and an assessment of where implementation is lacking and why.

The International Monetary Fund's Christine Lagarde, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney are also scheduled to speak later today.

AceTraderFx Feb 29: G20 financial leaders to inform each other ahead on policy decisions that could devalue currencies

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

29 Feb 2016 00:52GMT

On G20 meeting, Reuters reported that the financial leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies agreed to inform each other in advance about policy decisions that could lead to devaluations of their currencies.

This move is an addition to the traditional declaration in G20 communiques that countries will refrain from competitive evaluations, Dijsselbloem said in Shanghai. The decision was prompted by concerns among some of G20 financial leaders about the possibility of competitive devaluations in Japan or China, he said.

At the same time the communique said the G20 would better monitor capital flows and identify associated risks.

Dijsselbloem said in cases where devaluation is a consequence of monetary policy motivated by real macroeconomic domestic reasons, then members must make sure to inform each other in advance to avoid surprises and this is an extra commitment between the G20 countries that they will refrain from competitive devaluations.

On USD Reuters reported speculators pared bullish bets on the U.S. dollar for a ninth straight week, as net longs fell to their lowest level since the third week of May 2014, according to Reuters calculations and data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released on Friday.

The value of the dollar's net long position sank to $5.75 billion in the week ended Feb. 23, from $8.31 billion the previous week. It was the second straight week that net dollar longs came in below $10 billion.

The decline in oil and stocks as well as a slowdown in China have pushed back expectations for an interest rate hike by the Fed to some time next year. That's a negative for the dollar, prompting investors to liquidate most of their net long positions on the greenback.

So far on the year, the dollar index has been down 0.6 percent, after posting gains in excess of 9 percent in 2015.

In other currencies, investors pushed net long positions on the yen to their highest level in four years. The expectation is that the Bank of Japan won't do as much quantitative easing as the market expected.

AceTraderFx Feb 29: Daily Recommendations on Major -EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK

Update Time: 29 Feb 2016 04:35 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.0925

Euro's intra-day selloff in New York session on Friday after release of a slew of upbeat U.S. economic data and subsequent breach of 1.0957 sup (now res) to a fresh 3-week trough of 1.0911/12.

This suggests recent decline from February's 1.1377 peak to retrace medium-term upmove from 1.0523 (2015 December bottom) would pressure price towards 1.0849 (61.8% r) later this.

Today, outlook remains bearish for weakness to 1.0880/90 after consolidation and only a daily close above 1.0957 would indicate temporary low is in place and risk stronger retracement towards 1.1020/30 but res at 1.1068 (Friday's high) should remain intact.

AceTraderFx Mar 1: Japanese capital investment rose slower & corporate profits fell

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views (USD/JPY)

01 Mar 2016 01:15GMT

USD/JPY - .....Earlier Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said he is not considering to compile additional fiscal spending to prop up the economy given that the budget for next fiscal year had not yet cleared parliament, and that the negative interest rate policy is already having positive effects.

Data are out by the Ministry of Finance, the Japanese capital investment rose at a slower pace in October-December and corporate profits fell for the first time in four years in a worrying sign that flagging business spending will weigh on economic growth. The data suggests that revised gross domestic product (GDP) due on March 8 may show Japan's economy contracted more than first reported, adding to the sense of pessimism surrounding the strength of domestic demand.

Japan's robust employment pattern continued, however, with seasonally adjusted unemployment falling in January to 3.2 percent, versus the median estimate for 3.3 percent. The jobs to applicants ratio rose to a 24-year high of 1.28, versus the median forecast of 1.27.

Separate data showed household spending fell more than expected in January, providing further evidence that uncertainty about the economy may be behind consumers cutting expenditure.

Decelerating capital investment and corporate profits are a worrying sign that the government may need to respond with more stimulus measures to prevent business and household activity from weakening further.

A preliminary estimate showed the economy contracted an annualised 1.4 percent in October-December as consumer spending and exports slumped. The 8.5 percent annual increase in capital expenditure in October-December was slower than an 11.2 percent annual gain in July-September.

Japan's household spending fell an annual 3.1 percent in January, more than the median estimate for a 2.7 percent year-on-year decline.

Japan's economy is expected to return to growth in the current quarter, but there are persistent doubts about the outlook. Economists say the government's reforms have not done enough to raise the potential growth rate.
