Consensus ESM approved: Will it come with conditions?

“Market consensus for tomorrow's Constitutional Court judgement is overwhelmingly that the Constitutional Court will not block ESM and the Fiscal Pact: 99% of respondents in our Investor poll this week subscribe to this view.” According to a Reuters poll of 20 legal experts, there is unanimous consensus the soon-to-be-established ESM will be approved but with strings as the wildcard. Strings could mean a German limit on contributions, making a case for euro shorts ahead of the court decision, due at 0800 GMT today.

London session ahead will be very busy as the common currency faces one of most important days ahead for its future. There are plenty of risk events in the coming hours, that will presumable pick volatility up. For starters in terms of macro data EUR related France will release CPI figures for Aug at 05:30 GMT, followed by German CPI 30 minutes later, and French current account at 06:45 GMT. Spain CPI will be out at 07:00 GMT, followed by Italian industrial production 1 hour later, and EU industrial production along with Portugal CPI another hour after.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Constitutional court expected to give its preliminary ruling on the ESM and the fiscal compact today, this would be the major market driver for the currency. Our target at 1.2870 was met yesterday and market closed on a positive note. Fresh high, formed today at 1.2885 (R1) is a next attractive point for the uptrend penetration. If a brake occur here we suggest gradual targets to be placed at 1.2952 (R2) and 1.3018 (R3). Next upcoming support holds at 1.2837 (S1), a consolidation development below it might take the pair towards to eventual supports located at 1.2767 (S2) and 1.2701 (S3) in potential.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Cable managed to advance above the suggested resistance level at 1.6034 and printed a fresh high during the European session at 1.6085 (R1), which is our next resistance level for today. Rise above it might keep the bearish pressure intact and expose next targets at 1.6136 (R2) and 1.6186 (R3) later on today. We placed our next support level below the both moving averages at 1.6051 (S1). Loss here might enable bearish pressure and downgrade Cable towards to expected targets at 1.5997 (S2) and 1.5940 (S3). United Kingdom Claimant Count Change at 08:30 GMT is the next data release in focus.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY gained momentum yesterday and reached our downside target at 77.81. A medium-term bias is negative now though intraday bullish forces might be activated if the pair penetrates above the resistance level at 78.01 (R1). Next immediate resistance levels holds at 78.17 (R2) and 78.33 (R3). Conversely, next support level stays right below the fresh low, provided yesterday at 77.69 (S1). Brake here would suggest next target at 77.51 (S2) and any further fall would then be limited by last support at 77.33 (S3).

QE3 done deal or coinflip?

An overwhelming majority, as reflected by recent USD selling, sees it obvious that the economy in the US is weak, and with Bernanke reminding how well past QEs have worked in his speech at Jackson Hole, not to forget the last straw being the big miss in last Friday's NFP reports, talking about a fresh wave of money printing announced today seems logical. On the other hand, there is a case that points towards 'disappointment' being a prospect not that distant. With Europe having kicked the can down the road yet again thru new stimulus policies by the ECB – subject to Spain bailout request and the economic data in the US modestly upbeat in general in early September, one may also make the case for another month of 'wait-and-see” by the Fed. Not to forget is election time in the US, and any new 'money printing' may be controversial.

London session ahead will be a quite one data related waiting for the key event for the day in the form of FOMC Fed fund rates at 16:30 GMT. During the European hours, few major risk events will be coming from Switzerland, so some volatility could be expected around EUR/CHF cross given latest moves, while for EUR macro data related the EU will publish ECB monthly bulletin at 08:00 GMT at the same time than Italy CPI, followed 1 hour later by EU labor costs index.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Pair has settled positive bias on the hourly timeframe but recently looks overbought. From the technical side, upside pressure might force the market to test next resistance level at 1.6136 (R1). Successful penetration above it might provide sufficient space for the price increase towards to our next targets at 1.6186 (R2) and 1.6235 (R3). On the flip side, depreciation below the support level at 1.6079 (S1) would enable our targets at 1.6035 (S2) and 1.5985 (S3) in potential.

Standard Chartered has just published a note to clients revising the 2012 and 2013 forecasts GDP for China, now looking at 7.8% growth in 2013, and a better H2 than H1; "We lower our GDP growth forecasts for 2012 and 2013 to 7.7% and 7.8%, respectively (from 8.1% and 8.7%), expecting clearer signs of the start of a moderate recovery to emerge in Q4-2012 and early 2013." Furthermore, they, now believe "the interest rate cutting cycle has ended and expect the next move to be up, in late 2013." Looking at the CNY, the bank thinks "it should remain stable against the USD in 2012, but appreciate mildly as the trade surplus revives in 2013-14." Standard Chartered forecasts USD-CNY at 6.19 at end-2013, 6.00 at end-2014.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Last week was totally positive for EUR. After the FOMC has announced unlimited purchases of MBS (Mortgage-backed Securities) at a pace of $40 billion per month and QE3 announcement, EURUSD rose to the new highs. Today we expect slow trading session ahead. Our next resistance level is placed above the fresh high at 1.3179 (R1), violation here might expose next targets at 1.3267 (R2) and 1.3355 (R3) if the uptrend remains in power. Correction is possible below the next support level, placed at 1.3085 (S1). Further decline below it might test next targets at 1.2995 (S2) and 1.2903 (S3) in potential.

From the other side, loss of next support at 1.6195 (S1) might encourage executing of protective orders and drive market price towards to the next targets at 1.6145 (S2) and 1.6096 (S3).

RBA minutes - Bias still to the downside

The RBA's minutes for this month's 4 Sep meeting is out, with plenty of downbeat commentary regarding the worsening outlook for Australia due to global and Chinese growth concerns, acknowledging prospects are now more uncertain. RBA added there is still scope to reduce the benchmark interest rate should outlook worsen significantly. The extent of RBA concern surrounding China appears to have worsened, while the potential for an October rate cut is very much on the cards. According to RBA, previous rate cuts are still working through economy.

London session ahead will only have a single risk event for the European morning coming out EUR related, but a key one, as German ZEW economic sentiment is, due at 09:00 GMT, which usually implies volatility. The UK will publish CPI figures at 08:30 GMT.

BOJ eases more than expected

The BOJ left the overnight call rate range unchanged between 0.0% and 0.1%. Amid much anticipated expectations of the BoJ following the Fed and ECB with further easing, the bank decided to increase the APP program by 10 trillion yen. The increase in the size corresponds to additional increases of treasury disccount bills by 5trillion yen and purchases in JGBs by another 5 trillion. BOJ keeps monthly JGB purchases at 1.8 trillion yen. As John Noonan, Head of IFR Markets, notes: "BOJ has eased a bit more than most were expecting. Market likes it and USD/JPY testing 79.00 level from 78.70 before announcment."

Lack of macro economic EUR related data for the London session ahead will be the news, with only ECB Governing Council 2 day Meeting starting today, while in the sovereign debt auctions front Germany will sell up to € 5B in 2 year federal notes, and Portugal trying to sell up to € 1.75 in short term T-bills at 09:30 GMT. Portugal 10 year bonds reached past week record 1 ½ year-lows around 8% coming from as high as 17% from Feb 2012, last at 8.72%, while Germany is dealing with 4-month highs touched on Monday at 1.74%, last at 1.65%.

Brussels is reportedly helping Madrid to tweak an economic reform plan thought to be announced next week, the FT reports. "According to officials involved in the discussions, talks between the Spanish government and the European Commission are focusing on measures that would be demanded by international lenders as part of a new rescue programme, ensuring they are in place before a bailout is formally requested. The plan will focus on structural reforms to the Spanish economy."

London session ahead will lack any major risk event related to EUR, including sovereign debt auctions, as usual on Fridays, whit EZ periphery troubled countries yields at more reasonable levels, with Spanish 10y at 5.87%.

Will the RBA cut rates in Sept? - NAB

The RBA 2 October rate decision has many media commentators expecting a rate cut and the market. NAB: "The Minutes from September were softer than the post Board Statement when they added the line that 'The current assessment of the inflation outlook continued to provide scope to adjust policy in response to any significant deterioration in the outlook for growth.”' But we have not seen a 'significant deterioration in the outlook for growth' since early September. At this stage we'd say a cut is less a 50% chance."

London session ahead will bring all kinds of talks related to EZ debt crisis as Greece is urged by Troika to reduce budgets even more, Spain will release plenty of key data on coming Friday, and rumors on ESM to be leveraged up to € 2 Trillion make the rounds. In the economic agenda most important and almost only data to be released will be German IFO business climate at 08:00 GMT although the Netherlands final GDP will also be published 30 minutes earlier. European Parliament Committee hearing on Libor scandal will also take place today.

RBA Financial Stability Review: Cautiously upbeat on the economy

According to the RBA Financial Stability Review, Australian households remain well positioned to pay back their debts. Looking at business appetite for debt, the central bank expects it to recover while reaffirming that corporate balance sheets are in good shape. The RBA commented that IMF tests indicate banks are likely to withstand severe shocks, although they remain strong to cope with any potential EZ shock, which they expect is likely to remain core risk to the global financial system. RBA warned that the decrease in profits by banks may promote unwanted riskier lending. RBA is confident that modest employment growth will continue, according to latest survey observations.

Busy day ahead for the London session in the sovereign debt auctions front, with Italy selling zero coupon bonds and the Netherlands up to € 2.5B worth of 20 year bonds, while Spain will try to sell 3 and 6 month bills. Italy's 10 year bond yields have been around 5% for current week while Spain's one have been below 6%, around multi-week lows.
