According to recent reports Ukraine forces have surrounded the city of Slovyansk and attacked a military airfield controlled by pro-Russian militants. Ukraine's acting president Oleksandr Turchynov told the parliament today that Moscow is not only targeting the Donetsk region but wants “the whole south and east of Ukraine to be engulfed by fire." He added that the aim of the operation in progress is to “defend the citizens of Ukraine, to stop terror, stop crime and stop attempts to tear our country into pieces." The Kremlin said on Tuesday that there were no Russian forces in eastern Ukraine and that Kiev's allegations were “absurd.” Meanwhile, the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller released a statement in which he assured the EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger that the transit of gas to Europe would continue without disruptions. Fears of further sanctions and an escalation of the conflict with Ukraine sent Russia's Micex index down by nearly 2% on Monday. On Tuesday it fell by 1.3%. The index has already dropped by more than 10% since the beginning of the year. In Ukraine, the central bank decided late Monday to hike its benchmark interest rate from to 9.5% from 6.5% to halt the sharp drop in the hryvnia seen since the beginning of the year. The overnight loan rate was also increased: to 14.5% from 7.5%. The currency reacted by jumping over 8% against the dollar on Tuesday, although the increase might be just short-term. Economic data Polish March CPI data, published on Tuesday showed a 0.1% increase month-on-month following +0.1% in February and slightly below forecasts of a 0.2% rise. On an annual basis inflation continued growing at a 0.7% pace, as expected Also on Tuesday TurkStat revealed that Turkey's The 3mth Jobless Average edged up further to 10.1% in January from 10% in December, the highest level seen since March 2013. Turkish budget surplus of TRY 1.67B recorded in January shifted to a deficit of TRY -5.10B in February. Technicals On Tuesday the Russian ruble was fairly unmoved against the central bank’s target basket of dollars and euros at 42.1805. USD/RUB rose by 0.45% at 36.1422. On Monday the USD/RUB daily FXStreet Trend Index was slightly bullish, and the OB/OS Index neutral. RSI was at 56 at the last close and slid to 43 so far today. The Daily 2-StDev Volatility Bandwidth was shrinking at 3680 pips, with ATR (14) shrinking at 3639 pips. The 1D 200 SMA was at 33.5557, while the 1D 20 EMA was at 35.7026.

EMEA EM Express: Stocks and ruble fall on unrest in east Ukraine, threats of further sanctions against Russia FXStreet (Łódź) - Tensions between Ukraine and Russia escalated over the weekend with pro- and anti-Russian demonstrators continuing clashes in the east part of Ukraine and Kiev threatening to conduct a "full-scale anti-terrorist operation" against people occupying government buildings if they refuse to leave by Monday morning. The ultimatum hasn't been carried out however and more official buildings have been seized by pro-Russian protesters on Monday. Ukraine's interim president Olexander Turchynov once again called the developments a Russian “aggression” but at the same time suggested that he wasn't against a referendum on the future of the country and its shift from a republic to a federation "We are not against holding a national referendum," the president said. "I am certain that a majority of Ukrainians will support an indivisible, independent, democratic and united Ukraine." Furthermore, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Sunday during which the US accused Russia of fomenting unrest in Ukraine and warned it could impose further sanctions on Russia. On Monday also European Union foreign ministers, gathered in Luxembourg to discuss the Ukraine crisis, suggested that more sanctions against Moscow would be imposed. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that Russia was continuing to destabilize the situation in Ukraine on purpose and that quick action was required to stop it. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski urged other officials to expand the sanctions list as soon as possible. "The EU has to make it clear to Russia what are the consequences of any possible future actions in eastern Ukraine," he said. "I expect a very specific signal when we can expect sanctions if Russia takes further steps." But some of the EU officials, worried about the problems such a move could cause for gas transit, weren't eager to take such quick action and preferred to wait until more talks were held on Thursday in Geneva. The Russian ruble fell to the lowest level in three weeks and stocks tumbled. The Micex Index registered its sharpest decline in a week, dropping by 1.7% to 1339.73. Economic data Israel's quarterly GDP data showed a pickup in growth to 3.2% in Q1, following a 1.8% rise the previous quarter, the Central bureau of statistics informed on Sunday. This result is more positive than the expected 3% increase. Israeli CPI, released on Monday, climbed 1.3% on an annual basis in March, slightly up from the 1.2% rise registered the previous month. Month-on-month inflation increased 0.3%, compared with the 0.2% drop. Year-on-year Polish M3 Money Supply, also published on Monday, rose 5.1% in March, up from 5.3% in February and above projections of 4.8% growth. Technicals The Russian ruble weakened 0.6% against the central bank’s target basket of dollars and euros to 42.1394 on Monday. USD/RUB grew by 0.74% to 35.8930. On Friday the daily FXStreet Trend Index was slightly bearish, and the OB/OS Index neutral. RSI was at 49 at the last close and slid to 43 so far today. The Daily 2-StDev Volatility Bandwidth was shrinking at 3852 pips, with ATR (14) shrinking at 3587 pips. The 1D 200 SMA was at 33.5418, while the 1D 20 EMA was at 35.6723.

EUR current levels uncomfortable? - Investec FXStreet (Barcelona) - Jonathan Pryor, Corporate Treasury Analyst at Investec, underlined the rising concerns from the current EUR strength. Key Quotes "The main news from over the weekend came from comments from the head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, indicating that the central bank would implement more monetary stimulus if they witnessed further appreciation of the Euro". "Whilst GBPEUR has been on a steady climb in recent months as the pound has been one of the best performing currencies in the G10, the single currency has appreciated against most other major currencies and it’s clear that European officials are now uncomfortable with the impact this is having on European exporters". "‘Further monetary stimulus’ could come in the form of negative interest rates and/or quantitative easing and the news led to weakness in the euro earlier today."

Flash: USD/JPY stalling just ahead of the 103.74 2013 high - Commerzbank FXstreet.com (London) - Karen Jones, Head of Technical Analysis at Commerzbank notes that USD/JPY has again stalled at 103.40, similar to price action seen last week. Key Quotes: “The market appears to be stalling just ahead of the 103.74 2013 high. We note the Elliott wave count on the daily chart suggests a retracement back to 100.91/100.16 remains viable, however while underpinned by the cloud on the 240 minute chart at 102.26, we will assume an immediate upside bias. The slide lower held over the July 2013 high at 101.54 and this we regard as bullish price action. Support is found at the 101.54 July high and 100.62 September high. We will stay bullish while above the 99.56 November 19 low.” “Longer term, the market has recently broken up from a large triangle points to a longer term target of 108.86. We have an additional target en route at 105.48, the 61.8% retracement of the move down from 2007.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Dec 11,2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates
