EUR/USD stablized into the NA opening hours - Scotiabank FXStreet (Guatemala) - Camilla sutton, Chief FX strategist at Scotiabank explained that after yesterday's USD induced EUR weakness, driven by hawkish Fed comments and stronger than expected core CPI, today has EUR stabilized. Key Quotes: "Fundamental data included stronger than expected French consumer spending and Italian CPI, with Germany’s regional CPI also firming." "This highlights an important theme for EUR, with data now improving and beating expectations how much lower will the currency fall.

EUR/USD returns to 1.1220 on US data FXStreet (Edinburgh) -The single currency is giving away port of the initial gains vs. the dollar on Friday, sending EUR/USD to the 1.1225/20 band. EUR/USD trims gains on GDP After hitting session highs near 1.1240, the pair shed some pips following a better-than-expected US GDP, expanding 2.2% on a yearly basis during Q4. Consumer Prices tracked by the Personal Consumption Expenditures, contracted 0.4% inter-quarter during the same period, bettering consensus for a 0.5% drop. Next on tap will be the Chicago PMI, Pending Home Sales and the Reuters/Michigan index. EUR/USD relevant levels As of writing the pair is advancing 0.26% at 1.1227 with the next hurdle at 1.1300 (psychological level) followed by 1.1335 (10-d MA) and finally 1.1350 (21-d MA). On the downside, a dip beyond 1.1184 (low Feb.26) would expose 1.1098 (11-year low Jan.26) and then 1.1047 (low Sep.8 2003).

USD/JPY maintains the range, upside move possible as risk aversion falls Scotiabank FXStreet (Barcelona) - Camilla Sutton CFA, CMT, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, reviews the Japanese data releases and warns of a further easing by the BoJ, and further predicts USD/JPY to break out of its broader range as volatility and risk aversion falls lower across markets. Key Quotes JPY is flat but still trading within its broader range, just above its 50‐day MA of 118.80. Data flow was disappointing, as inflation came in at 2.4% on headline, 2.2% ex fresh food and 2.1% ex food and energy; trending lower and still artificially elevated from the consumption tax increase. The jobless rate rose unexpectedly to 3.6%, household spending collapsed down to 5.1%, retail sales disappointed, falling 2.0%y/y while housing starts were down 13%; the only bright spot was a 4%m/m rise in industrial production. Governor Kuroda followed up, repeating comments that they expect to meet the BoJs CPI target (ex impact of inflation). The deterioration in the fundamental data is concerning and warns of the potential for further BoJ policy action. As volatility and risk aversion falls lower across markets, we expect USDJPY to break out of its recent narrow range towards the December highs of 121.85.

Over the last 12 months, the all items index decreased 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment. The energy index fell 9.7 percent as the gasoline index fell 18.7 percent in January, the sharpest in a series of seven consecutive declines.

The food index was unchanged in January, with the food at home index falling for the first time since May 2013. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in January.

NZD/USD to extend towards 0.7700 by next week – Westpac FXStreet (Barcelona) - Imre Speizer of Westpac, gives the week ahead outlook for NZD/USD, stating that an extension towards 0.7700 won’t be surprising. Key Quotes “The recent rally is likely to extend next week. We target at least the 0.7610-0.7620 area (those were the main lows last Dec) but a run as far as 0.7700 would not surprise.” “NZ’s economic data pulse is currently running hot, with dairy prices rising, migration at record levels, and the domestic economy in solid shape.” “Combined with USD’s stall plus speculative positioning short NZD, an argument for multiweek NZD/USD strength can easily be made.” “Further out, we expect a reversal in the NZ data pulse by April, and are more constructive on the US dollar, implying a decline in NZD/USD to 0.7100 by mid-year.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Feb 26,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates

Inflation expectations and ECBs QE, among the Riksbank concerns Danske Bank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - In light of the recent minutes by the Riksbank, inflation expectations and the prospects of further downside in the euro via the ECBs QE are the main worries expressed by the Swedish central bank, suggested analysts at Danske Bank. Key Quotes Recent data suggest that (underlying) inflation is moving slowly upwards but after such a long period of undershooting inflation it would be much worse if it stayed low than if it rose faster than expected (even overshooting the target). Above all, inflation expectations have become a great concern, especially over the longer term and among unions and employers organisations. Other risks mentioned were: the global situation, with uncertainties related to Greece and the conflict in Ukraine, and the sharp decline in oil prices (a potentially positive factor for global growth but also a risk to inflation expectations). Also the ECB: it is clear to us that the board is nervous about the massive policy actions (QE) that the European Central Bank will launch shortly and that this could end up in a stronger krona. In other words, the Riksbank wouldnt be happy to see a stronger krona at this stage (which in turn makes their forecast of exactly that happening slightly strange). As far as the SEK10bn in bond purchases are concerned, the message is that it is a test (we find it hard to believe that the RB expects the purchases to have a major effect on inflation) and a signal that the bank is prepared to do (much) more if need be.

FOCM March statement could mirror Yellen text Hislenrath FXStreet (Mumbai) - Wall street Journals Fed watcher Jon Hilsenrath believes the March FOMC meeting statement could be almost similar to the Fed chief Yellens testimony. He notes that the Fed could replace patient with Provided that labor market conditions continue to improve and further improvement is expected, the Committee anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when, on the basis of incoming data, the Committee is reasonably confident that inflation will move back over the medium term toward our 2 percent objective. The phrase 'reasonably confident' appeared in the minutes of the December FOMC minutes. Several officials have said they want to start raising rates by June. It still isn't clear, however, if they'll reach the inflation confidence threshold by then," Hilsenrath notes.

Stay short the Aussie – JP Morgan FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Strategists at JP Morgan keep recommending selling the AUD, in light of further monetary easing by the RBA. Key Quotes “We continue to find value in being short AUD given our outlook on commodity prices and the outlook on the RBA”. “The RBA has expressed a desire to weaken the currency, but that is unlikely to happen materially if it does not deliver rate cuts in the context of the rest of the world which is engaging in aggressive easing”. “Our Antipodean strategists think that the RBA will thus deliver a total of 50bp easing in the 1H with a high likelihood that the next rate cut will be delivered in March”. “Finally, this week Australia’s sovereign ratings also garnered some attention with news articles highlighting that S&P’s AAA rating could be at risk if the 30% Commonwealth Government debt/GDP ratio were to be breached (current ratio is 20%)”. “While this is not imminent and is likely to be a slow burn issue, on the margin it is AUD-negative since it limits the magnitude of stimulus fiscal policy can deliver thus raising the onus on monetary policy”.

USD/CAD supported at 1.2600 FXStreet (Edinburgh) -The greenback is now losing the grip vs. the Canadian dollar, with USD/CAD coming back from a brief test of the 1.2600 mark. USD/CAD firmer ahead of Poloz The pair is trading on the right footing today, advancing around a big-figure since the opening around 1.2560. However, the ascent seems to have run out of fuel in the 1.2660 area, allowing the ongoing correction. A small recovery in the prices of the crude oil is seeing the barrel of WTI back around the key $50.00 handle, lending some support to the CAD. Ahead in the session, Yellen’s semi-annual testimony and the speech by Governor Poloz will dictate the pair’s price action. USD/CAD levels to consider The pair is now advancing 0.34% at 1.2620 with the next hurdle at 1.2665 (high Feb.24) ahead of 1.2697 (high Feb.11) and finally 1.2772 (high Feb.2). On the other hand, a breakdown of 1.2523 (low Feb.23) would target 1.2516 (21-d MA) en route to 1.2500 (psychological level).
