EUR/USD back below 1.2600 FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD failed to recover past the 1.2630 area and came under renewed pressure during the European session as investors await a series of US data, including the ADP employment report and the ISM PMI.

At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.2590, recording a 0.32% loss on the day. However, the cautious tone may prevail ahead of tomorrow European Central Bank decision and Friday's US nonfarm payrolls. EUR/USD levels to watch In terms of technical levels, EUR/USD could find immediate supports at 1.2560 (Sep 6 2012 low), 1.2500 (psychological level/Sept 5 2012 low) and 1.2493 (Aug 31 2012 low).

SEB: Selling EUR/USD into fading rallies remains a main theme - eFXnews FXStreet (Åódź) - The eFXnews team remark that the SEB sees trend-following tools pointing to a continued drop in EUR/USD, suggesting selling into fading rallies. Key quotes "Conditions are severely stretched and buyers' response (lower shadow within an otherwise bearish candle) at a descending parallel is possibly worth some attention." "A weekly mid-body point and 8day 'Tenkan-Sen' provided resistance in the mid-1.27s should buyers show initiatives over 1.2664." "Current intraday stretches are located at 1.2570 & 1.2695."

Disappointing EMU PMIs push EUR/USD below 1.2600 - FXStreet FXStreet (Åódź) - FXStreet Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik observes that the lower than expected Eurozone PMI Manufacturing numbers for September weighed on the EUR/USD which dropped below the 1.2600 level. Key quotes "More pressure on the ECB indeed for tomorrow, let’s see if Draghi decides to keep on backing up his words with action." "In the meantime, the EUR/USD posted a daily low so far of 1.2584, trading now back around the 1.2600 figure." "The technical picture continues to be clearly bearish according to the 4 hours chart, as indicators managed to correct all of their oversold conditions reached on Tuesday, while price failed to extend beyond the 1.6230 price zone." "The same chart shows price below a strongly bearish 20 SMA and indicators below their midlines, with both momentum and RSI heading south." "A daily descendant tend coming from 1.2880 price zone stands around 1.2650, a few pips below mentioned 20 SMA, and recoveries up to that level should be seen as selling opportunities." "Renewed selling pressure on the other hand, pushing the pair below yesterday’s low of 1.2570, should see the pair extending its decline down to 1.2530 area first, and down to 1.2500/10 as the lowest for the day."

EUR bounce not ruled out, but trend remains bearish – Danske Bank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - In the opinion of Flemming Nielsen, Senior Analyst at Danske Bank, the scenario for the euro remains negative, albeit occasional rebounds should not be ruled out. Key Quotes “In the global FX markets, the EUR declined yesterday on the back of a much lower than expected reading for euro-zone core inflation, which fell to 0.7% y/y in Septemberâ€. “The decline in core inflation suggests that declining wage increases are adding to the downside pressure on inflationâ€. “This is just yet another issue putting pressure on the ECB to do more. EUR/USD ended the day half a figure lower around 1.2630 and according to our short-term financial models, the cross remains in oversold territory, trading 1.1 standard deviation below our model’s fair value estimate of 1.275â€. “However, while the decline in EUR/USD admittedly has materialised much faster than we expected and both valuation and positioning (see IMM Positioning from 29 September) look stretched increasing the likelihood of a rebound, we still expect EUR/USD to continue to trade lower in the coming monthsâ€. “In the near term, we expect a solid US labour market report on Friday to add further support to the USD, while the ECB is expected to keep the door open for QE in connection with its monetary meeting on Thursdayâ€. “We expect that speculations of additional ECB easing (QE) will remain a theme in market in the coming months – this will weigh further on the EURâ€.

EUR/USD major long-term support area of 1.2600/1.2660 under pressure - RBS Dmytro Bondar, Technical Analyst at RBS observes that following the formation of a H&S pattern in the first half of the year, EUR/USD has seen a significant selloff. Key quotes "It has though started to pressure a key long-term support level of 1.2660, which was previously the risk level of the 2012 inverse H&S."

"Otherwise, if the level holds on a weekly close basis, and a reversal pattern formed, this area may see a base." "Hence it is advisable to keep an eye on the reaction from the test of 1.2600-1.2660 area."

GBP/USD bulls ducking for cover once again FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD is trading at 1.6266, down -0.32% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.6335 and low at 1.6259. GBP/USD has taken a hit into lower levels that are becoming critical in the advent of the recent decline that had the bulls running for cover where lows at 1.6052 made us wonder if we were back towards 1.58/1.60 territory again. We are lower on a number of counts at the end of this week with essentially the greenback outperforming yet again, with indeed Yellen’s statements of late are being backed up. The US GDP was firstly revised up to 4.6% in the Q2 from previously reported of 4.2% but the final number was in line of expectations. That, however, was highest figure since Q4 2010 and the catalyst for a firmer greenback today. PCE was falling in line at 2.3% up on 1.4% previous and the, although missing expectations slightly, it rose to 84.6 in September up from 82.5 on the previous month. A solid ending to the week for a good performing US economy again. GBP/USD note worthy levels With spot trading at 1.6267, we can see next resistance ahead at 1.6275, 1.6282 (Daily Classic S1), 1.6290, 1.6309 (Hourly 20 EMA) and 1.6312 (Daily Classic PP). Support below can be found at 1.6259 (Daily Low), 1.6244 (Daily Classic S2), 1.6214 (Daily Classic S3), 1.6126 (Weekly Classic S1) and 1.6105.

Rupee jumps on S&P's revision of India's outlook up to stable - TD Securities FXStreet (Åódź) - Cristian Maggio, Head of Emerging Markets Research at TD Securities comments on the rupee's reaction to S&P' decision to upgrade India's outlook to stable from negative, while keeping the sovereign rating at BBB-. Key quotes "The outlook change reflects S&P’s view that 'India's improved political setting heralds a more conducive environment for reforms, providing a boost to growth prospects and the potential for improved fiscal management'.†"This statement is particularly significant as the sub-potential growth and wide fiscal deficit were previously citied as India’s major weaknesses and possible causes of downgrades." "The immediate reaction to the announcement was USDINR falling 0.5% to 61.08." "1m NDF moved in tandem with spot and is currently exchanged at 61.53, so still nearly half a percentage point below the levels prior to the S&P review." "This supports our view that the improving macroeconomic outlook will continue to bear positive effects on Indian asset pricing." "EM FX also seemed to recover on this event today." "At the same time, we are wary that changing expectations on the Fed’s resumption of monetary tightening could trigger further adjustments in the EM space in the coming months. For these reasons, we prefer RV strategies to trade the INR long leg." OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Sep 26, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates -

Credit Agricole: New rules to limit US corporate tax inversions boost USD - eFXnews FXStreet (Åódź) - The eFXnews team remark that according to Credit Agricole USD's recent strength is partly due to the new US regulations aimed at limiting corporate tax inversions announced on Monday by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. Key quotes "The inversions law announced this week aims to prevent US companies from relocating abroad to lower their tax liabilities (the US for instance has the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world at 35%, even though after deductions and other loopholes net tax payments are much lower)." "The announcement this week reflects a departure from that thinking but more important it also has forex market implications." "The introduction of the law drove in part some of the recent USD strength, especially against European currencies." "The law does not impact 'completed' deals but it will impact the possible outflow from 'pending' deals, which are close to USD150bln." "While some firms will complete the deal given the costs to cancel, we think the law will lead to less cross-border M&A outflows over time." "The result is higher net FDI flows and a more supportive USD backdrop, especially against GBP, SEK and CHF." 'This content has been provided under specific arrangement with eFXnews.'
