USD benefits from prospects of monetary policy normalisation - Commerzbank FXStreet (Córdoba) - Ulrich Leuchtmann, analyst at Commerzbank, notes that the FX market displayed a notable reaction to Fed Yellen testimony this week, a fact that is quite remarkable following times of continuously falling volatility. He attributes this mainly to prospects of normalisation of US monetary policy, which at the same time supports a dollar appreciation. Key Quotes “Two factors are likely to have been decisive for this development: Mrs Yellen had such a dovish reputation that even a neutral statement comes as a surprise. The normalisation of US monetary policy is progressing so notably that the markets are increasingly pricing a return to normal circumstances in the US”. “The second factor in particular is likely to influence exchange rates in the future, which is why we feel confirmed in our view of a (initially slow but then increasingly rapid) dollar appreciation”. “The US dollar is increasingly benefiting from the increasingly certain prospect of a normalisation of US monetary policy. Fed signals pointing in this direction are becoming increasingly important for the FX market – even if they should not come as much of a surprise”.

Risk aversion increasing in the global markets - BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, remarks sentiment around safe havens are building up. Key Quotes "Financial markets have been unsettled by the upturn in geopolitical risks after the downing of a civilian airplane over Eastern Ukraine and after Israel began a ground-offensive operation in Gaza. The VIX index jumped a huge 32% to close at 14.54, crude oil was up 2% while the price of gold increased 1.5%." "With the EU and US sanctions being digested by the markets yesterday, USD/RUB jumped 2.2%. However, outside of the rouble move, the foreign exchange market remains remarkably stable." "One-month USD/JPY implied volatility is currently at 4.89%, up from 4.45% on Wednesday, which was another record low. Volatility in EUR/USD and other major currency pairs remains subdued as well." "In part we think this is explained by the latest downturn in UST bond yields in the US – the 10-year yield fell to 2.44% yesterday, matching the low from May, a level not seen since May last year. The 10-year yield is down 20bps since early July." "Higher yields in the US is going to be the key catalyst for increased volatility in the foreign exchange market as investors eye greater divergence with other major economies and general risk appetite conditions become less favourable. These latest developments, it is believed, make it more likely that all central banks will remain on the same page for longer, thus limiting the risk of any major change in financial market developments."

ECB's Constancio: Strictness of stress tests not only about results FXStreet (Łódź) - Vice-President of the ECB Vítor Constâncio commented on the details of Eurozone bank stress tests, released by the central bank on Thursday, saying that their strictness was not only about the results, as they have already prompted many lenders to raise new capital. “Banks know what we expect and have advance notice to prepare for the outcome of the comprehensive assessment,” the ECB policymaker said in a statement. “Much work has already been undertaken to repair banks’ balance sheets and, encouragingly, this work is continuing.” Constâncio admitted that some of the financial institutions would fail the stress tests but that there shouldn't be too many of them. He also added that the current strength of the euro reflected the improvement in market sentiment. "The upcoming stress tests have the potential to create some large volatility," Ryan Littlestone speculates on ForexLive. "Bad news and the euro plummets, good news and it rockets."

Two traders from Indonesia, occupying the first and the third place are happy to tell us how they feel about the victory in one of the most crowded Rounds of OctaFX Champion Demo Contest in history – Round 27! Let us remind you the winners: 1st place – Mrs. Ida Astrid Evelin from Indonesia 2nd place – Mr. Chamika Kumaranayaka from Sri Lanka 3rd place – Mr. Teddie Heru Widiarto from Indonesia The last runner – Mr. Arief Widiantoro from Indonesia Mrs. Ida Astrid Evelin from Indonesia, the winner of Round 27, gives profitable advice to OctaFX traders: “Of course I'm happy to win! I trade Forex as a job, so I spent lots of time as if I am working. I always tell myself – I want to participate in other promotions by OctaFX, and I hope OctaFX OctaFX will become one of the world's top 10 brokers. What I learned during Round 27 is that technical and fundamental strategies alone are not enough. Knowing the character of the market movement is the best strategy. The biggest and the most important profit for me is not about the money – It’s when I keep learning from mistakes. The biggest loss for me is when I stop to learn from my failures. I learn every day since January 2014 and now it’s July. I trade hard every day on demo account but treat it as a real one. I think it depends on personality, whether study hard or not, but 7-10 months should be enough to become a mature trader and get the basics of Forex Market. I advise traders to focus and never give up!“ 3rd trader - Mr. Teddie Heru Widiarto from Indonesia puts it simple: “I am very happy become one of the winners as I spent a lot of time trading.Obviously, I will continue to join promotions held by OctaFX. Luck and patience mixed make you successful, and it helped me to win.

BoE and rate outlook for Q2 2015 - Rabobank FXStreet (Guatemala) - Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank noted that there is already a lot of good news priced into the pound. Key Quotes: “UK data releases from the third quarter of last year have revealed far more momentum behind the UK economic recovery than almost anyone had expected. This has culminated in widespread expectations that the BoE will be the second developed world central bank to hike rates this cycle, after the RBNZ. The latest survey from Reuters reveals that half of respondents now expect the first hike in the initial quarter of next year, with a decent minority looking for a move late this year”. “Only a few weeks ago, the market consensus for the first BoE rate hike stood at Q2 2015, but confidence in this view was rattled by the remarks of BoE Governor Carney at the Mansion House on June 12. Carney commented that he was surprised by the relatively low probability that the market was attaching to the likelihood of a hike in the bank rate this year; the market consensus duly shifted”. “The outlook for BoE rates, however, is not clear cut. As Carney remarked later in June, wage inflation in the UK remains surprising low. This would appear to suggest that there is more spare capacity in the labour market than the aggressive fall in the unemployment rate would suggest”. “Not only is wage inflation still subdued but UK CPI inflation at 1.5% y/y is well below the BoE’s 2.0% target. Disinflation is a common theme across Europe currently and sterling strength will be contributing to downward pressure on UK import prices. For this reason we have left our forecast for the first BoE rate hike of the cycle at Q2 2015, at least for the time being. Not so many months ago, we were more hawkish than the market consensus, now we find ourselves in the dovish camp”.

Impervious to better US data? - WIB FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Westpac Banking Corporation ABN put the question out there of, “Delayed reaction or are financial markets simply impervious to better US data?” Key Quote: “Last week's strong NFP outcome makes it five in a row of 200k+ outcomes, yet US yields and the US$ remain in well rehearsed ranges”.

EUR/GBP heading for 0.78 region - Rabobank FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Rabobank explained that even though recent comments from ECB hawk Weidmann warned about risks to financial stability from keeping monetary policy too loose, he made clear that he was fully on board with the measures announced by the committee last month. “He remarked that “the point is to prevent a phase of inflation that is too low for too long, as this could cripple the economy in the Eurozone””. “Although to date, the dovish sentiments from ECB officials have had limited effect on undermining the value of the EUR, as the market becomes increasingly confident in its assessment of the divergence of the policy outlooks between the ECB and other central banks, a reaction is likely to be played out in the EUR crosses”. “We see scope for EUR/GBP to end the year in the 0.78 region and to continue heading lower into 2015 towards the 0.77 level on a 12 mth view”.

EUR/USD treading water near 1.3600 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency is looking to consolidate the recent bounce off session lows, taking the EUR/USD back to the vicinity of 1.3600 the figure as markets enter the US session. EUR/USD poised to remain sidelined? With the recent Payrolls numbers still hovering over markets and no relevant releases in both the euro area and the US until Wednesday, where the FOMC minutes are due, expectations for volatility in the pair remain pretty flat. In the view of analysts at Westpac Global Strategy Group, “Multi-month, EUR weakness should be driven by: 1) less supportive flow dynamics as signalled by the region’s shrinking basic balance surplus; and 2) near certain prospects for relatively faster growth in the ECB’s balance sheet vs the Fed, especially later this year as TLRTO comes into play. Draghi’s reference to EUR1 trillion in the latter prevented a break of 1.37 so the sell zone may now be the mid-1.36s”. EUR/USD levels to watch As of writing the pair is retreating 0.01% at 1.3592 and a breakdown of 1.3576 (low Jun.26) would open the door to 1.3574 (low Jun.23) and then 1.3565 (low Jun.20). On the upside, the initial hurdle lines up at 1.3611 (high Jul.4) followed by 1.3664 (high Jul.3) and finally 1.3677 (200-d MA).
