US CPI for August significantly weaker than expected - ING FXStreet (Łódź) - Rob Carnell from ING points out that US August CPI disappointed, sliding to 1.7% from 2% on an annual basis, below forecasts of 1.9%. Key quotes "Whilst we had expected the core index to nose higher, it was flat, which also resulted in core inflation dipping down again to 1.7% from 1.9%." "The large fall in energy prices in August (-2.6%mom) was somewhat larger than expected, and was exacerbated by a flat service sector reading (0.0%), softer than trend housing (0.1%), negative apparel (-0.2%), flat medical care, negative recreation(-0.4%) negative education (-0.1%) and softer than usual 'other goods and services,' including tobacco, which was also flat on the month." "Such uniform declines across CPI subcomponents are rare, and in our experience, usually owe to a common factor, such as poor seasonal adjustment, in the absence of an obvious external cause." "This weakness does also look rather odd against the backdrop of recently strong retail sales, and anecdotes of rising pricing intentions." "That said, low and falling energy costs may be helping to offset other cost pressures, resulting in a broader decline than evident simply in the energy subcomponents, so we can’t entirely write it off." "It is also great timing for such a soft CPI reading, with the FOMC decision later today, and markets anticipating at least some small change in the Fed’s rhetoric." "We suspect that any such changes will be small, most likely, a tweak to the text referring to the time after QE ends before the first rate hike. Perhaps a replacement of the word 'considerable', in this context." "Whilst we believed that markets had been anticipating too much in the way of change at this meeting, this release is likely to temper enthusiasm for a bigger adjustment, and if we are right, then markets are likely to take a minimally changed FOMC text in their stride later on."

USD/JPY at 110.00 in medium-term – Rabobank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - According to Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank, the pair could reach 110.00 in the medium-term. Key Quotes “One year Japanese government yields reportedly traded at a yield of -0.005% this morning, the first time 12 mth paper has sunk below the zero mark”. “The drop in yields to below zero is a function of the huge demand for government assets from the BoJ to meet to needs of its huge stimulus plan”. “There is no question that the easing measures that the BoJ has put in place are very aggressive. It is very likely that without them Japan’s economic woes would be deeper than they already are”. “In general recent data releases have been weak. This suggests that the economy is failing to bounce back as well as hoped in the current quarter after the Q2 economic contraction that followed the hike in the consumption tax in April”. “Even though it is clear that QE is no silver bullet, in view of limited alternatives available, there is speculation in the market that the BoJ will be forced to increase its easing measures even further in the coming months; though it may have to become increasingly inventive”. “Into the summer months BoJ optimism had repressed talk of a step up in policy action so this change in expectations has had some impact on yen positions”. “That said, we have argued for some time that the outlook for the USD is key for the direction of USD/JPY and that further upside will be facilitated by a recovery in the greenback”. “While we expect that the USD faces set backs from here, not least because we do not expect a rate hike from the Fed until the end of 2015, we do view the USD as having embarked on a long-term recovery”. “We maintain a medium-term target for USD/JPY at 110.00”.

EUR/USD jumps after US inflation data FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD pushed to fresh daily highs at the beginning of the American session after data showed US consumer prices grew less than expected in August. The greenback weakened across the board and EUR/USD surged to fresh highs as both the core and the headline US CPI came in at 1.7% year-over-year in August versus 1.9% expected. The CPI fell 0.2% MoM (0.0% exp) while the core was flat (vs +0.2% exp). EUR/USD jumped 25 pips on the news and hit a peak of 1.2980 but lacked follow-through as investors seem unwilling to take big positions ahead of the Federal Reserve monetary policy statement. Markets are expecting a hawkish shift in Fed stance, so any change in forward guidance might increase the appeal of the US dollar. EUR/USD technical levels At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.2970, 0.09% above its opening price, with immediate resistances lining up at the 1.2994/1.3000 zone (Sept 16 high/psychological level), 1.3059 (21-day SMA) and 1.3100 (psychological level). On the flip side, supports are seen at 1.2939 (10-day SMA), 1.2908 (Sept 15 & 12 low) and 1.2900 (psychological level).

USD/JPY falls on weak US inflation FXStreet (San Francisco) - The US reported its first negative monthly CPI since October 2013 and a weaker than expected yearly inflation in August that put the USD under pressure as it hints more problems for the Fed in case they are thinking to hike rates. The US is back on negative inflation in August with -0.2% MoM. First negative reading since October 2013. In the same line, yearly inflation was reported weaker than expected with 1.7% YoY, down from previous month of 1.9%. It is not a good news for those rate hike believers. The USD/JPY fell to 107.10 after a 25-pip decline from 107.35 following US data. Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 107.19, up 0.06% on the day, having posted a daily high at 107.37 and low at 107.09. USD/JPY spot is in neutral territory according to the hourly FXStreet OB/OS Index, while the FXStreet Trend Index is slightly bullish.

Key Quotes “Yesterday’s three polls (from Daily Telegraph, Survation and Scotsman) all put support for remaining in the UK at 52% with 48% backing independence, when undecided voters are excluded – and all suggested that support for a Yes vote was rising”. “However, the three polls gave differing estimates for the proportion of voters still undecided, ranging from 14% to 6%”.

EUR/JPY continues to play on inflation expectations FXStreet (London) - EUR/JPY is currently trading at JPY138.7185 after hitting two-month highs above JPY139.2 on Friday. The recent euro gains have broken a six-month down trend in the pair on diverging inflation expectations. On Thursday the European Central Bank will roll out the first round of its targeted long-term refinancing operations (TLTRO) with an auction allowing banks access to cheap four-year loans. With Eurozone inflation numbers set to be released tomorrow, and despite the drastic measures being put in place by the ECB, there remains doubt that the central bank can achieve its 2 percent inflation target. After having gone through a period of deleveraging, the six planned TLTROs in conjunction with the ECB's purchase of asset-backed securities are expected to take the size of the ECB's balance sheet back to 2012 levels at around EUR3 trillion. Japan inflation "on target" - Kuroda While the statement contains an element of jawboning, speaking at an event in Osaka overnight, Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda said that he expects Japan to reach its inflation target after aggressive monetary policy. “The year-on-year rate of increase in the CPI, which is likely to be around 1.25 percent for some time, is expected to subsequently follow an uptrend again from the second half of this fiscal year and reach about 2 percent around the middle of the current projection period from fiscal 2014 through 2016” said the central bank governor. The pair is currently trading at JPY138.7185, just over its opening of JPY138.6930 after a choppy day of trading.

Ruble hit by sanction woes while Ukraine grants eastern regions special status FXStreet (Łódź) - The Russian ruble fell to a record low of 38.5175 against the dollar on Tuesday on fears that sanctions would cause lasting damage to the Russian economy. Alexei Kudrin, a former finance minister under Putin, said during a business conference that West's sanctions "are going to have an effect (on the economy) for the next one or two years because they have limited opportunities for investment in this uncertain environment." Investor confidence was further undermined by reports that Moscow is planning to strike back by introducing import bans, which could damage domestic consumer spending. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law in line with the ceasefire agreement, granting special self-rule status to the eastern regions of the country overrun by pro-Russian separatists. The new bill legislates Russian as the second official language, establishes a special economic rule in the region, sets the early local elections date for December 7 and offers amnesty to the militia members. Still, the leaders of the rebels stated that they are not interested in enjoying a special status, and demanded full independence from Ukraine. The fighting, which continues in Donetsk, as well as the presence of about 25,000 Russian soldiers close to the Ukrainian border, highlights the fragility of the truce.

GBP/USD offered below 1.6300 – UOB Group FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling will remain under selling pressure as long as the market keeps trading below the 1.6300 mark, suggested Quek Ser Leang, Market Strategist at UOB Group. Key Quotes “The short-term upward momentum continues to deteriorate and further GBP strength is unlikely from here”. “However, another attempt towards yesterday’s high of 1.6275/80 will not be surprising but as long as the major resistant at 1.6300 is not taken out, this could lead to a deeper pull-back towards 1.6200/05.

Session Recap: USD steady with risk events in focus FXStreet (Córdoba) - Another quiet European session Friday has seen majors consolidating in narrow ranges as investors refrain from taking big positions ahead of the Scottish referendum and the Fed meeting next week. EUR/USD is little changed at the 1.2920 zone, having spent most of the day within a 20-pip range. GBP/USD attempted a recovery Friday after a recent YouGov poll showed the ‘no’ leading the vote in Scotland, but the upside has been capped by the 1.6275 zone. USD/JPY reached yet another 6-year high of 107.39 but lacked follow-through and retreated somewhat. Meanwhile, the Australian dollar continues to underperform despite solid jobs data yesterday, having dropped to a nearly 6-month low of 0.9042 during the European session. Markets' focus has turned to next week risk events, keeping investors in the sidelines. The Federal Reserve will decide on monetary policy Wednesday Sept 17 amid growing expectations the Fed will take a hawkish turn. Meanwhile, Scottish independence referendum will take place Thursday.

Draghi and Constancio gauges the ECB prospects in the near term – Danske Bank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Senior Analyst at Danske Bank Sverre Holbek reviewed the recent appreciations by ECB’s Draghi and Constancio. Key Quotes “ECB Vice President Constancio and President Draghi shed further light on thinking within the governing council yesterday”. “Particularly Constancio was quite open in an interview with Börsen Zeitung. He said that while there was no proposal on the table to start buying government bonds and the ECB would prefer not to do so, it ‘certainly is something we cannot exclude’”. “Constancio declined to give a target for the recently announced asset purchasing programmes and said that the ECB does not intend to do so at the next meeting either”. “With rates at what Constancio referred to as the lower zero bound, monetary policy has shifted focus to the size of the ECB’s balance sheet”. “In that regard, Constancio highlighted the attractiveness of the TLTROs, advising banks not to miss the opportunity”. “In a prepared speech, Draghi elaborated further on the views presented at Jackson Hole in August, urging governments to boost investment efforts if they can afford it, while staying in compliance with existing budget rules”. “He also said that governments should offer guarantees to encourage lending to small businesses, and support ABSs”.

AUD/USD hovers near 6-month lows FXStreet (Córdoba) - AUD/USD is on track to post its fifth consecutive daily loss, having fallen to fresh near 6-month lows as investors seem more focused on US monetary policy than in Australia economic data. On Thursday, Australia reported a job growth of 121,000 in August, ten times above expectations, but the Aussie failed to rally on the news and quickly resumed its broader decline with every bounce attempt proving anemic. AUD/USD make a fresh high at 0.9042 in recent dealings and it is currently trading at the 0.9055 area, down 0.48% on the day. The pair is losing nearly 3.5% from Monday’s opening. Next week, the Federal Reserve will decide on monetary policy and many are betting the forward guidance, that rates will remain low for a considerable time, might be modified. AUD/USD technical levels As for technical levels, next supports could be found at 0.9032 (Mar 21 low) and 0.9000 (psychological level). On the other hand, resistances are seen at 0.9107 (intraday high), 0.9182 (200-day SMA) and 0.9216 (post-jobs data high Sept 11).
