Market Review - 29/01/2014 21:54GMT

Yen rises to a 7-week high on risk aversion after Fed cuts bond buying to 65B

Although U.S. dollar rose initially above Wednesday's high of 103.26 to 103.45 against the Japanese yen in Australia, active cross-buying of yen pressured capped intra-day gain there and price later tumbled to 101.99 in New York morning as concerns over global emerging markets lingered ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy statement. Later, the greenback dropped to a session low of 101.85 on renewed risk aversion due to the selloff in U.S. stock market after Fed kept interest rate unchanged n reduced bond buying to $65B as widely expected.

The Fed announced a further $10 billion reduction in its monthly bond buying to $65 billion as widely expected as it stuck to plans to wind down its extraordinary stimulus. The Dow Jones industrial average, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite closed down 189.77 points (1.19%) to 15738.79, 18.3 points (1.02%) to 1774.2, and 46.53 points (1.14%) to 4051.43 respectively.

The single currency swung widely on Wednesday as despite rebounding from Asian low at 1.3648 to 1.3684 in European morning due to unexpected rise in Germany's Gfk consumer climate going into February, cross-selling of euro pressured price lower from there and euro tanked to a session low of 1.3603 versus dollar after European Central Bank council member Christian Noyer said 'any rise in the currency's exchange rate would be negative.' Later, the single currency rebounded strongly in New York morning to 1.3677 on short-covering and then stabilized.

On the data front, Germany's Gfk consumer climate rose to its highest level since August 2007 to 8.2, from 7.7 in the preceding month whose figure was revised up from 7.6.

Although cable traded sideways in Asia after finding support at 1.6561 in Australia, price rebounded to 1.6607 in tandem with euro in European morning but only to drop to 1.6526 in part due to renewed cross-selling of sterling versus euro in New York morning before recovering. Eur/gbp cross dropped briefly below Tuesday's low at 0.8223 to 0.8220 in Wednesday's New York morning and then recovered.

The New Zealand dollar nose-dived to 0.8177 after RBNZ kept interest rate unchanged at 2.5%. RBNZ said expects to start returning rates to more normal levels soon n will raise rates as needed to keep inflation near 2%. RBNZ said scale, speed of rate rises will depend on future data; high NZ dollar offsetting inflation but current levels unsustainable in long run; price pressures rising over next two years; housing market appears to be moderating; expects GDP to continue around 3.5% over coming year; sees uncertainty about stimulus with drawal by major economies, EM economies affected.

Data to be released on Thursday:

Japan retail sales, China HSBC manufacturing PMI, Swiss KOF indicator, Germany unemployment rate, U.K mortgage approvals, EU business climate, economic sentiment, consumer confidence, Germany CPI, HICP, U.S. annual GDP, PCE core, personal consumption, jobless claims and pending home sales.

Although US Dollar has continued to edge higher in Asia after yesterday's sell-off to a 2-1/2 month low at 100.77 in NY, as this move looks corrective, reckon 101.44 would limit upside and daily bearishness remains for another decline later.

AceTraderFx Feb 5: U.S. dollar rises versus Japanese yen as stock markets rebound

Market Review - 04/02/2014 18:25GMT

U.S. dollar rises versus Japanese yen as stock markets rebound

U.S. dollar fell initially against the Japanese yen to a fresh 10-week low at 100.76 in Asia as Nikkei-225 plunged by more than 4%, however, investors bought back U.S. dollar as global stock markets pared most of early losses.

Britain's FTSE 100 n Germany's DAX closed down by 0.2% n 0.6% respectively whilst France's CAC-40 closed up by 0.3%. Dow Jones index traded in +ve territory and rose by around 87 points to 15460 in NY midday. U.S. dollar rebounded strongly to 101.67 in New York.

The single currency traded inside a relatively narrow range of 1.3494-1.3539 as focus was on other currency pairs. The British pound rallied against the U.S. dollar from 1.6257 to 1.6353 after the release of much stronger-than-expected UK construction PMI.

The Australian dollar surged from 0.8730 to 0.8943, more than 2%, on Tuesday after Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) dropped its easing bias toward interest rates and toned down its long-term call for the currency to weaken. New Zealand also rallied strongly from 0.8052 to as high as 0.8227.

In other news, Fed's Evan said there is uncertainty about sustainable rate of unemployment; believe 5-5.25% is attainable; a strongly growing economy will address many of the problems in the job market; Fed will eventually allow assets to roll off balance sheet during exit from super-easy policy; Fed's balance sheet will eventually be well south of $4 trln, but will be bigger than pre-crisis; Yellen will continue to improve Fed's communications, transparency; current pace of taper is a 'reasonable', 'modest' pace; took longer than expected for QE3 to kick in to jump start.

Wednesdaywill see the release of Germany's, Britain's and Eurozone PMI respectively; Eurozone retail sales; U.S. ADP employment and ISM non-manufacturing data.

 

AceTraderFx Feb 5: Daily Market Outlook on Major EUR/USD

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK EUR/USD - 1.3520

05 Feb 2014 01:06 GMT

The single currency rebounds from Monday's low at 1.3477 to 1.3539 on Tuesday suggests choppy trading would be seen but as long as resistance at 1.3574 holds.

Daily bearishness remains for another sell-off later this week, breach of said support would indicate decline from December's 2-year peak at 1.3894 has once again resumed and then further weakness to 1.3455 and 1.3410/20 would follow.

On the upside, only a daily close above 1.3603/09 would shift risk to upside instead for stronger retracement to 1.3640/50 and possibly 1.3685/88.

 

AceTraderFx Feb 6: U.S. dollar rebounds as global stock markets stabilise

Market Review- 05/02/2014 18:33GMT

U.S. dollar rebounds as global stock markets stabilise

The greenback fell from Asian high at 101.77 to 100.77/80 in New York morning against the Japanese yen after the release of slightly less-than-expected U.S. ADP employment data, however, the pair jumped to 101.63 after the release of stronger-than-expected ISM non-manufacturing PMI data which came in at 54.0 versus economists' forecast of 53.7 and well above previous reading of 53.0.

Euro fluctuated wildly on Wednesday. Despite the brief bounce from European low at 1.3499 to 1.3555 in New York morning after the release of less-than-expected US ADP employment, the single currency dropped swiftly to 1.3504 before trading sideways later in the day.

On the data front, eurozone retail sales data which came in at -1.6% m/m n -1.0% y/y respectively versus economists' forecast of -0.7% m/m n 1.5% y/y with downwardly revised 0.9% m/m n 1.3% y/y increase in November.

The British pound weakened to a fresh 6-week low of 1.6252 after the release of weaker-than-expected U.K. services PMI which came in at 58.3 in January versus previous reading of 58.8 in December, however, cable rebounded to around 1.6333 on short-covering in New York.

In other news, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser warned of looming communications problems if the central bank keeps buying assets while, as he expects, the U.S. unemployment rate falls below 6.5% some time in the first half of 2014, from the current 6.7%. Plosser said 'the U.S. Federal Reserve should wind down its bond purchases faster than planned and end it before mid-year.'

Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, said the year had begun with some momentum, despite the recent drop in stock markets, and further reductions in the pace of central bank asset purchases would be appropriate as long as the economy remained on track. Lockhart said 'the U.S. Federal Reserve will probably keep steadily dialing back its asset purchases and wind them down completely by late 2014 but should be patient on raising interest rates.'
