BoJ minutes: members continue to pursue powerful easing

Minutes of the Monetary Policy Meeting in Japan on July 11 and 12 have been published, without any significant surprise. Comparing the forecasts in the April 2012 Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices, BoJ minutes reads: "Growth prospects will likely remain broadly unchanged. With regard to prices, the year-on-year rate of change in the domestic corporate goods price index will likely be somewhat lower for fiscal 2012 but broadly in line with the April forecasts for fiscal 2013. The year-on-year rate of change in the CPI (all items less fresh food) is expected to be broadly in line with the April forecasts."

London session ahead will be a busy one in terms of EUR macro data related, with main risk event for the European morning in the form of German ZEW economic sentiment at 09:00 GMT. But earlier will come French prelim 2Q GDP and CPI m/m, followed by German prelim 2Q GDP at 06:00 GMT, French jobs data 45 minutes later, EUR flash GDP at same time than ZEW, and EU industrial production. Following US session will bring more key figures like US PPI and retail sales at 12:30 GMT which usually move markets. In the GBP front the UK will publish its CPI numbers on yearly basis at 08:30 GMT, which could bring volatility to EUR/GBP cross. In the EZ sovereign debt auctions arena Greece will try to sell up to € 3.125 B worth in 13 week bills. (fxstreet.com)

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Germany Economic Sentiment release and E.M.U GDP release at 09:00 GMT in focus today as major market drivers. We suggest next resistance level for today at 1.2376 (R1), yesterday high.

Downside direction is limited by next support level at 1.2310 (S1), loss of which will lead to the next target at 1.2240 (S2).

EUR little moved with half Europe closed on holidays

EUR/USD has just had another quiet and slow Asia-Pacific trading session, last at 1.2323, slightly above opening and session lows price at 1.23156, and below session highs at 1.2332, thus counting for a 16 pip range trading session. Nothing too exciting. The pair comes from a weekly high yesterday at 1.2385 following better than expected German prelim GDP, and holding above yesterday's lows and support at 1.2320. Local share markets are over all in the red, with Nikkei index below the 8900 points down -0.60%.

London session ahead will have to deal with half Europe closed on holidays, and no EUR macro data related at all, not even EZ sovereign debt auctions, and only UK unemployment figures coming out due at 08:30 GMT, which could bring volatility to the EUR/GBP cross. According to VIX, index that measures volatility in SP500 index put options, it is reading at a 5 year lows, which in some way shows how these markets are lacking movement as of late. European futures point to a lower open, according to Bloomberg. (fxstreet.com

For the downside development, fall below next support level at 1.5600 (S1) would open way for the next expected target at 1.5570 (S2). Further easing might face final support at 1.5535 (S3) level.

Late 2012/early 2013 best guess for next QE3 - Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius recent note to clients warns of the increasing possibility of further delays on the Fed communicating the next easing package to the market. "While QE3 at the September 12-13 FOMC meeting remains possible, our best estimate is that it will take until late 2012/early 2013 before Fed officials return to balance sheet expansion."

London session ahead will be another one again with almost no EUR macro data related to be released, but EU CPI figures at 09:00 GMT as most critical, while in the EZ sovereign debt auctions front there was a Spanish one that has been canceled. Risk premium between Germany and Spain fell yesterday to a several days low around the 500bps, with German yields rising as risk sentiment is improving, and Spanish 10y yields remaining range-bound below the key 7%. Much worse FDI figures today coming from China showing a decrease in -8.7% in Foreign Direct Investment (YoY) (Jul) have been helping the recent rise in USD. (fxstreet.com)

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Yesterday instrument dropped below our suggested support level at 1.2310 and met our target at 1.2270. Instrument stabilized on the Asian session and we expect further decrease later on today as major scenario, however clearance of next resistance level at 1.2310 (R1) would open road to the next targets at 1.2344 (R2) and 1.2373 (R3). Our next support level at locates at 1.2263 (S1), technically important level (Yesterday low).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD continue its sideways movements. We suggest waiting for a clear signal of directional movement. Next important technical resistance stay at 1.5703 (R1), brake here is required for market expansion towards to next target at 1.5740 (R2) and any further increase would be limited by final resistance at 1.5778 (R3). Failure to go higher might push markets to retest previous day low at 1.5659 (S1), which is currently our next support level. Brake here would suggest next target at 1.5623 (S2) and any further fall would then be limited by last support at 1.5583 (S3).

On the Asian session we saw significant volatility increase and market provide us with a clear signal of uptrend development. Currently USDJPY gained +0.46 % and we expect further appreciation towards to our next resistance levels at 79.45 (R1) and 79.64 (R2) later on today. Intraday price increase looks limited by last resistance level at 79.84 (R3). Development of the correction is possible from current levels. Next support level locates at 79.05 (S1), brake here would suggest next targets at 78.85 (S2) and 78.63 (S3) in potential.

Antipodean intervention highly unlikely - ANZ

Direct currency intervention is highly unlikely in Australia or New Zealand in the near term, according to Richard Yetsenga, Andrew Salter & David Croy, strategist at ANZ. "Neither currency is sufficiently over-valued, and it seems unlikely that intervention would be effective." More broadly, "we may be in the early stages of a secular shift in the mix of monetary conditions, involving the combination of stronger currencies and lower interest rates" the team adds.

London session ahead will bring a soft agenda again in EUR macro related terms, starting with Germany PPI at 06:00 GMT, followed by EU current account 2 hours later, and EU trade balance at 09:30 GMT, and no sovereign EZ debt auction on sight for this Friday, as usual for Fridays, with Spanish yields falling while Germany ones rising, thus narrowing their risk premium. Even though session promises to be a quiet one, given current low liquidity conditions, and Spanish gov council meeting today, this could bring some surprising headlines around causing some wide moves.

Market sentiment set for September boost – Wells Fargo

With global equities up 11% from their June trough and while market volatility is at multi-year lows, Wells Fargo has noted a cautiously positive tone in FX in recent weeks: “Looking ahead, we expect European events to evolve favorably overall in September, which could further boost market sentiment,” says Wells Fargo in a research note. “Against this backdrop, the euro could see a further corrective rally towards $1.2750 and perhaps even $1.3000. For commodity and emerging currencies, we see the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Singapore dollar as candidates for currency appreciation.”

In another typical summer holiday session in Europe, the London session ahead will bring a blank economic agenda with no major risk events EUR related. In the sovereign debt auctions front Spain will focus the attention selling up to € 4.5B in 12-18 month bills, while its 10 year yields hit a new 7-week lows at 6.16% yesterday and the risk premium with Germany below the 500 bps. Headlines will keep driving market action on constant speculation about the future of the euro crisis. Starting tomorrow, several key meetings will take place among EZ leaders to deal on current situation.

Forget AUD intervention; RBA rate cuts far more likely - UBS

AUDUSD failed to have a close above 1.05 on Tuesday, with today's price action printing steady declines since the opening of the Australian market. Yesterday, the RBA signaled that remains in a wait-and-see mode as the effects of previous rate cuts continue to percolate through the economy. According to UBS strategist Chris Walker, "attention now shifts to Governor Stevens' semi-annual parliamentary testimony on August 24, especially in the wake of the Treasury's comments last week highlighting the strength of the currency." UBS very much doubt the RBA is poised to intervene in the currency markets, and "if the tightening impact of a strong currency eventually becomes too severe, the bank is far more likely to respond with rate cuts rather than a round of FX intervention" Chris adds.

For second day in a row no major EUR macro data related will be released during London session hours, leaving main risk events for the NY session ahead, starting with US new home sales at 14:00 GMT followed by FOMC minutes at 18:00 GMT. In the sovereign debt auctions front Germany will sell up to € 5B in 2 year federal notes at 06:00 GMT, while Spain had a good auction yesterday and its 10 year yields are down for 10th consecutive day around 6.2%, and risk premium with Germany below the 500bps.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Yesterday we saw significant volatility increase. EURUSD broke up our resistance level at 1.2369 and reached our final target at 1.2408. Technically, market sentiment is “Bullish” now and we expect further instrument appreciation on the medium term perspective. Further price increase is expected above the next resistance level at 1.2488 (R1). Brake here is required to enable next targets at 1.2524 (R2) and 1.2559 (R3). On the other hand, consolidation looks reasonable today. Price progress below the next support level at 1.2447 (S1) might expose next targets at 1.2415 (S2) and 1.2383 (S3) in potential.

Next resistance level ahead locates at 1.5804 (R1), brake here is required to enable next target at 1.5830 (R2) and any further rise would then be limited to 1.5855 (R3). However development of the price retracement is reasonable today. Instrument depreciation below the next support level at 1.5765 (S1) might expose next targets at 1.5740 (S2) and 1.5717 (S3) in potential.

If the market manage to climb above our next resistance level at 79.48 (R1), we expect next target to be achieved at 79.66 (R2) and any further rise would then be targeting to 79.86 (R3). Clear brake below the 79.17 (S1) would enable next target at 78.98 (S2). Successful clearance here is required to put in pocus final support level at 78.78 (S3), intraday.

FOMC minutes more dovish than statement suggested - Nomura

The clearest conclusion from the Minutes, according to Nomura economist, is that "the committee appears poised to extend its interest rate guidance at the next meeting, while also suggesting the Committee is closer to implementing another round of LSAPs than was apparent before." It isn't clear, however, how the Committee will interpret the recent improvement in economic data, says Nomura: "The recent increase in payroll employment and retail sales were released after the meeting; if the Committee is likely to initiate a new round of LSAP at their meeting in September Chairman Bernanke may signal that intent in his remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday, August 31."

London session ahead will bring again plenty of minor EUR data related after few days lacking of it, starting with German final GDP at 06:00 GMT, followed by flash French PMI 58 minutes later, German flash PMI 30 minutes after, and EU PMI another 30 minutes later. For the late part of London session and early NY will come US initial jobs claims at 12:30 GMT and US new home sales at 14:00 GMT.

Likelihood BOJ forced to ease remains high - Nomura

Following the deterioration in the Japanese trade balance in July, Nomura research team expects that while Japanese exports should recover going forward, the recent export weakness has one direct JPY negative implication. According to the bank, it puts further pressure on the BOJ to ease monetary policy again this year. "While US economic data are now suggesting a better near-term outlook, we think the likelihood of the BOJ being forced to ease remains high for the time being" the team notes.

Again London session ahead will show no EUR macro data related risk events on the agenda, with focus on Greek-EZ leaders meetings going on, today with Greek PM Samaras visiting German PM Merkel, and also on Spain possibly asking for the bailout as soon as mid Sept according to sources, with its risk premium back above the 500bps for German 10y yields. As usually for Fridays, no EZ sovereign debt auctions will take place today.

Fed’s Jackson Hole conference key event this week - BNZ

The Fed’s Jackson Hole conference, due on Friday, is the event of the week. According to Mike Jones, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand, "some of the market impact of Bernanke’s speech has been nullified by last week’s dovish Fed minutes." The analyst adds: "The speech is expected to be used to map out the policy (easing) options facing the Fed. If this has the effect of hardening Fed easing expectations then the USD should continue to suffer."

London session ahead will be a quiet one in regards of London closing for holidays and lack of macro economic data EUR related but German Ifo business climate at 08:00 GMT as the most important, preceded by German import price index at 06:00 GMT, and Chicago Fed Evans speaking at 10:00 GMT. In the euro zone sovereign debt auctions front, France and Germany will sell short term treasury bills.

Fed to deliver further stimulus - JPM

JPM is quite dovish on the next Fed policy tools to deploy, expecting Ben Bernanke & Co. to provide additional stimulus to the economy by extending the rate-on-hold guidance out to mid-2015 and increasing asset purchases. The bank expects medium-term US paper getting a better bid tone ahead of the Sept 12-13 FOMC meeting. A more marked move will come via real yields as investors bet on higher inflation, says JPM head bond strategist Terry Belton.

For the London session ahead the economic agenda will be soft once again in EUR macro data related terms, with Germany GFK consumer sentiment at 06:00 GMT, followed by Spanish final GDP 1 hour later, and EU M3 money supply at 08:00 GMT. At 11:00 GMT is expected EU's Van Rompuy will meet Spanish PM Rajoy, which could bring some headlines to the table giving some volatility to current thin markets, coupled with both Spanish and Italian short term sovereign debt auctions to be held today, Spain to sell up to €3.5B in 3 and 6 month bills. Spanish 10y bond yields hold near mid 6%s with risk premium with Germany around the 500bps.

Possible execution of protective orders below the support level at 78.45 (S1) might drive market price toward to our lower targets at 78.28 (S2) and 78.11 (S3). On the other hand, if market go higher and continue to be traded in sideways we suggest waiting for a clear brake of the next resistance level at 78.83 (R1). Next expected target at 79.02 (R2).
