US Session recap: and the title? "Nonfarm Payrolls"! FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD has been underpinned by the release of the Nonfarm payrolls data in the US session. What was needed was an extraordinary figure for the market to react in any great way to the release and that is exactly what we got. The Nonfarm Payrolls came in at 321K, which puts the twelve-month average now up to 278K. This is significant and the highest yet in an increasing trend over the past few years along the US's recovery. The next FOMC meeting is on December the 17th which is going to set the tone for the beginning of 2015, but until then, the markets will make their own minds up and this jobs report has shifted the greenback into a much higher gear. On the week, The Yen, AUD and NZD were the biggest losers to the dollar. EUR/USD made a low of 1.2271, supported to some extent by EUR/JPY demand at the end of the week as it broke into new highs, but overall, the EUR was a fade on attempts against the trend of a stronger dollar, such as when factory orders were released, but was wearing losses of over a cent move on the release of the Nonfarm Payrolls data. USD/JPY was relentless and marked out higher grounds into the 121 handle with a high of 121.69 from a low of 119.71, showing the market its moves again, and boy can it move when it gets going! Again, the US factory orders were the only dent in its bonnet on a strong performance and brings in the 2007 highs at 123.95 into the picture. USD/CAD leaped up towards 1.1480 making a high of 1.1476 before supply drove the pair lower and into a drift from 1.1415 to 1.1445. WTI was sliding on lower US factory orders while Poloz sees lower oil prices a threat to growth, revising his forecasting by +0.8% and explaining that it will be a dent of 0.33% in growth for 2015. GBP/USD was breaking lower, marking out territory below the November bottom, and brings us fresh lows to work from at 1.5569. Key events US October factory orders down vs expectations US Non farm payrolls smashing expectations by 91k US unemployment rate in line with expectations Canadian November employment disappointing OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Dec 06, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates

Moreover, Crude prices hardly reacted to a stellar jobs report in the US as markets priced-in a sort of double whammy from the Saudis.

Meanwhile, the inventory data released in the US yesterday also hurt prices.

Does the current account deficit matter for GBP? BAML FXStreet (Barcelona) - According to Bank of America-Merrill Lynch FX strategists, GBP is showing obverse behaviour as it trends higher while the increasing current account deficit in the UK should lead to a soft impact on the currency. Key Quotes Over the medium-term, a large and deteriorating external trade position is ultimately negative for a currency and leaves it vulnerable during periods of heightened volatility. The UK continues to run a dual deficit with large public sector deficits alongside external imbalances. Yet, despite this, GBP is some 20% higher in TWI terms from its post-GFC lows. Admittedly, the imbalances that the UK faces are not unique; indeed, the budget deficit has been nearly halved as a % of GDP. But the resilience of GBP to the deterioration of the current account has been one of the more curious aspects of GBP performance in recent years. The Bank of England1 believes that the cyclical downturn in the euro area will keep FDI returns weak over the coming years but believes that the UK's net international investment position (NIIP) is far healthier than official data would suggest if the stock of FDI assets is marked to market. Under its scenario, the UK's NIIP would have been circa +30% of GDP in 2013 versus broadly balanced according to official estimates. The BoE concludes that valuation effects should keep NIIP broadly stable in future against the backdrop of the current account deficit. For GBP, if the Bank of England is correct on its revised NIIP measure, this should come as some relief and alleviate concerns that the persistence of large current account deficits presents a clear and present danger for the pound.

Wall street likely to open on a flat note FXStreet (Mumbai) - The action in the US index futures indicates the markets are likely to open on a flat note after posting modest gains in the previous session. The DJIA futures and the S&P futures are trading dead flat ahead of the opening bell. On the data front, the ADP report showed another rise in the private sector employment in November, although the pace of job additions fell short of the economists’ expectation. Meanwhile, another report from the labor department showed that labor productivity rose by more than previously estimated in the third quarter. The Equity markets in the US will watch out for the ISM services index, which is likely to have inched up to 57.5 in November from 57.1 in October. The Federal Reserve is also scheduled to release its Beige Book report later in the day.

BoC statement to remain neutral – TDS FXStreet (Barcelona) - According to the Research Team at TD Securities, a weaker CAD, lower crude oil prices combined with the strength shown by growth & inflation will keep the BoC neutral today. Key Quotes “USDCAD has traded lower overnight defying both the stronger big-dollar trend and the softer tone in crude oil prices that have carried over from yesterday.” “Our expectation is that the BoC statement will remain neutral, balancing risks from lower crude oil prices with the recent strength shown by both economic growth and inflation and the shock-absorbing services paid by a weaker CAD.” “On the charts, the USD’s rejection of the early November high at 1.1465 again earlier this week leaves a bit of a dark technical cloud over the near-term USDCAD outlook and the drag of the CAD crosses (EURCAD nearing 1.40 again) may see funds struggle to break decisively higher for the moment.” “We rather think the near-term outlook favours a little more range trading, with USDCAD well-supported in the low 1.13s.” “Fundamentally, we think minor dips are a buy; Fundamentally, USDCAD looks under-valued relative to our spot fair value estimate (based on spreads and terms of trade) of 1.1610 currently.“ OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Dec 03, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates
