  1. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Dec 03 2012 Merkel no longer discards losses on Greek debt Weekend headlines suggest German Chancellor Angela Merkel may be re-thinking its stance over future Greece's debt haircuts, after she said on Sunday this is an option to consider, although not until the ongoing rescue program shows Greece's budget turned into a surplus. Since last Tuesday's deal to ease the mammoth-size debt burden that the Greek government suffers, so that its debt to GDP ratio can come down to 126.6% or thereabouts by 2020, Germany's posture on write-downs of Greek debt has been firm, saying that it would be illegal to pursue such scenario. The majority of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right coalition members as well as the main opposition parties supported the Greek deal. This outcome has positive implications for Merkel herself, as the vote was also a test of her lawmaker's support for her European policies, ahead of the federal elections scheduled for September 2013. During the debate preceding the vote German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble expressed his satisfaction with Greece's austerity efforts and emphasized that the speculation on another haircut on Greek debt could destabilize the situation in the Eurozone further. - FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/03122012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-12-03 13:58 GMT | United States.

  2. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 30 2012 Moody's predicts softer EU GDPs in 2013 Following comments from Moody’s about Greece struggling to be back on a sustainable debt path, also adding that they see high odds of Greek default on privately held debt, the rating agency hit back again on Thursday, this time to remind Eurozone countries that growth for 2013 is expected to be meager. According to Moody's, the Euro zone GDP is expected to rise 0.2% next year, with France GDP projection at 0.4%, Germany to show a 1.2% increase, while contractions in the tune of 4.2% and 1.5% are expected in Greece and Spain respectively. If Greece leaves the euro zone, the EU GDP would fall 4.5%, Moody’s forecasts. An official from the Greek finance ministry announced on Wednesday plans of hiring Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley to carry out the voluntary bond buyback. He affirmed that Deutsche Bank would take on the role of the principal supervisor, but would work closely together with Morgan Stanley. This decision comes after the EU and the IMF reached an agreement on conducting a debt repurchase aimed at reducing Greek debt to sustainable levels. Details of the buyback will be announced next week by the Greek debt management agency. As it has almost run out of money, the Greek government proposed that it would borrow 10 billion euros from the EFSF, which would allow it to buy 30 billion euros worth of debt, reducing thus its outstanding obligations by 20 billion euros. Greece still hasn't decided at what price it will offer the bond buyback to private holders of bonds.-FXstreeet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/30112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-30 07:00 GMT | Germany.

Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 29 2012 EU gives the go-ahead to Spanish bank restructuring plan The European Commission announced on Wednesday its approval of the plans to restructure Spain's four nationalized banks: Bankia, Nova Caixa Galicia, Catalunya Caixa and Banco de Valencia. Vice President of the European Commission responsible for Competition Policy Joaquín Almunia said in the European morning that the injection of 37 billion euros of the bank rescue would require a 60% reduction in the size of the nationalized financial institutions by 2017. Joaquín Almunia informed that during the negotiations with Spanish authorities and the banks in question it was established that the recapitalization funds would be distributed as follows: 18 billion euros for Bankia, 9 billion for Catalunya Caixa, 5.5 billion for Nova Caixa Galicia and 4.5 billion for Banco de Valencia. The four nationalized financial institutions should abandon conceding loans for high risk activities and should transfer 45 billion euros of toxic assets to the newly created bad bank.

  4. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 28 2012 OECD: EU debt crisis a primary threat to world economy The OECD released its twice-yearly Economic Outlook on Tuesday in which it cut the global growth forecast and warned that the Eurozone debt crisis is a greater threat to the world economy than the looming US fiscal cliff. "After five years of crisis, the global economy is weakening again," OECD's chief economist Pier-Carlo Padoan warned. "The risk of a new major contraction can't be ruled out." The Paris based organization reduced its global growth forecast for 2012 from 3.4% seen in May to 2.9%, and for 2013 from 4.2% to 3.4%. It also suggested that the Eurozone economy should start growing again in 2013 and that the US should witness a expansion of 2% next year and of around 3% in 2014. An intensification of the debt crisis in the Eurozone could however push the area into a profound recession and damage US recovery. The OECD urged governments not to cut spending too much, as it hurts growth. Central banks in the Eurozone, Japan, China and India were advised to boost stimulus to prop up their ailing economies. The organization also allowed for the possibility of Greece not being able to strictly adhere to its reform plan, should recession deepen more than expected. “The agreed consolidation measures should be put in place, but if growth proves lower than assumed in the government's fiscal plans, then the automatic stabilisers should be allowed to operate, even if this means missing the set targets,” the OECD stated.-FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/28112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-28 13:00 GMT | Germany.

  5. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 27 2012 More funding for Greece finally approved The EU reached a deal to reduce Greek debt to 124 % of the GDP in 2020 through a package of extra steps amounting 20 % of GDP, that was the headline from Reuters earlier in the Asian session. Reporters, however, had to arm themselves with patience until concrete details out of Brussels came out. Once the Eurogroup press conference was on past 1am Brussels time, Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the Eurogroup, provided the first remarks to the press, saying "today we reached political agreement on next disbursement to Greece", adding that despite has been a difficult decision, "I am complimenting the Greek gov't, I am complimenting the Greek parliament". The Eurogroup will formally decide on the disbursement December 13 if national parliaments approve tonight's deal. For now, what has been written in the draft document is that Greece aid disbursement of around €44 bln will be provided under 3 tranches. The first €34.4 bln loan is expected by mid December once green light from parliaments is given, and through Q1 2013 the rest, subject to implementation of its ongoing austerity program.-FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/27112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-27 09:30 GMT | United Kingdom.

  6. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 24 2012 Greek deal hopes and China's improving growth momentum lift market mood Risky assets advanced this week as economic indicators showed improving growth momentum in China and the US, while the economic recession did not intensify in the eurozone. Optimism about an imminent agreement on a debt-reduction package for Greece also contributed to improve market sentiment. Spain took advantage of more positive market mood and it managed to sell EUR8.8bn in government bonds and Treasury bills, helping sentiment toward risk assets. In this context, negative impact of the French credit rating downgrading was quite mute. Peripheral risk premia narrowed notably across the board this week. Notwithstanding the safe-haven yields rose, the reaction in the short-end of the German yield curve was quite limited. At the end of the week, oil prices fell due to ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas, reducing one of the global market headwinds. Finally, Japanese yen is being dragged by expectation of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party expectation to win elections on December 16, which backs an ease monetary policy Today's market headlines will be almost entirely dominated by the EU FinMin meeting, with reports over the weekend suggesting a Greece debt deal is still up in the air. On Saturday, finance ministers held a teleconference, which failed to clear up the picture in this regard. The Greek-based paper Kathimerini, citing sources familiar with the talks, suggests an agreement may not be inked until December 3, while portals like Reuters sound more optimistic.-FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/26112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-26 **:00 GMT | European Monetary Union.

  7. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 23 2012 Greece edges towards a debt deal; IMF lowers demands Greece may soon breathe a sigh of relief, as a deal with the Troika looks closer, according to Greek-based paper ekathimeini, citing Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras who suggests only 10 billion euros stand in the way of a deal.From ekathimeini: "Sources said that another 8 to 10 billion euros was needed to meet the target." the Greek paper also reports that "the IMF has accepted that Greek debt will not meet its target of 120 percent of GDP in 2020 and is willing for this to change to 124 percent in the same year." German Chancellor Angela Merckel said after the meeting she doubts an agreement will be reached on EU budget this week, and will likely need another few sessions of negotiations. She added positions are too far apart for now. Meanwhile, according to an official statement by the European Council, Yves Mersch has been appointed to the executive board of the European Central Bank for a term of eight years as from 15 December. He will succeed José Manuel González-Páramo, who completed his term of office on 31 May. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/23112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-23 **:00 GMT | European Monetary Union.

Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 22 2012 Market pricing Greece deal by Monday Judging by the reaction of the market after EU authorities failed to reach a deal on Greece, hopes that by Monday leaders will resolve the technicalities and find a way to unblock the next disbursement of bailout money to Greece, continue to run high, and so does the Euro. There are varies option on the table, with the WSJ citing the three most likely, which include a debt buybacks program, loan interest cuts to 0.25%, which may potentially save the country over 44 billion euros, and a return of SMP profits. The German leader Angela Merkel advocated after the last EcoFin meeting that they could beef up the EFSF funds by 10 billion euros to support an activation of a Greece buy back program. Meanwhile, EU leaders are scheduled to have talks today about budget talks, with the market focusing on the area's spending plan. Headline over this meeting will hardly move the Euro. Eurozone finance ministers are discussing options to bring down Greece's debt to 120% of GDP in 2020. One of the measures under discussion is suspending for 10 years interest payments on loans provided to Greece by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), Reuters reported citing an unnamed official. Another measure could be to buy back Greek debt held by private financial institutions, offering 30% of its value, while a third step would be to cut the interest on €53 billion of bilateral loans to Greece, to 25 basis points from the current 150 basis points. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/22112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-22 08:28 GMT | Germany.

  9. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 21 2012 EU Finance Ministers fail to agree on Greece; Talks to resume on Monday The European finance ministers failed to reach any conclusive decision on Greece after a 10+ hours meeting in Brussels, which came to a conclusion well into the night at around 4am. Details will not be released and the press conference was canceled. Luke Baker, Reuters bureau chief in Brussels, notes: "After more than 10 hours of meeting, German Finance Minister Schaeuble said euro zone finance ministers couldn't reach an agreement on Greece. Euro Finance Chiefs will continue talks on Monday..." Earlier on the Asian session, Reuters was out reporting on a Eurogroup document laying out details on Greek debt, which is seen at debt to GDP of 144% in 2020, 133% in 2022, 111% in 2030, noted Mr. Baker. Current Greek debt level stands at 170% of GDP. Bloomberg reported that target of reaching debt sustainability may be postponed to 2022. One of the measures under discussion is suspending for 10 years interest payments on loans provided to Greece by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), Reuters reported citing an unnamed official. It is thought that even combined elements "would still fail to reduce the overall debt-to-GDP ratio to 120% by 2020, the level the IMF has deemed as 'sustainable' " Bloomberg notes. Speculation is that IMF may remove itself from any Greek bailout programs if the 120% threshold can not be reached.-Fxstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/21112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-21 09:30 GMT | United Kingdom.

  10. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 20 2012 Moody's downgrades France to Aa1 from Aaa FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Moody's has downgraded France's government bond rating to Aa1 from Aaa, maintains negative outlook. Moody's decision to downgrade France and maintain the negative outlook reflects the following: From Moody's: 1.) France's long-term economic growth outlook is negatively affected by multiple structural challenges, including its gradual, sustained loss of competitiveness and the long-standing rigidities of its labour, goods and service markets. 2.) France's fiscal outlook is uncertain as a result of its deteriorating economic prospects, both in the short term due to subdued domestic and external demand, and in the longer term due to the structural rigidities noted above. 3.) The predictability of France's resilience to future euro area shocks is diminishing in view of the rising risks to economic growth, fiscal performance and cost of funding. France's exposure to peripheral Europe through its trade linkages and its banking system is disproportionately large, and its contingent obligations to support other euro area members have been increasing. Moreover, unlike other non-euro area sovereigns that carry similarly high ratings, France does not have access to a national central bank for the financing of its debt in the event of a market disruption. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/20112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2011-08-10 **:00 GMT : European Monetary Union.

Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 19 2012 ECB's Asmussen calls for a 2-year funding extension on Greece FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Joerg Asmussen, member of the European Central Bank, told German broadcaster ZDF over the weekend, EU leaders should agree on a 2-year loan extension for Greece, with any additional funding plan to be decided at a later stage, confirming the broadly-held view within the EU of 'kicking the can down the road', a position not marrying too well with IMF Director Christine Lagarde, who has been repeatedly calling for a long-standing comprehensible plan.

  12. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 16 2012 Eurozone officially in recession Third quarter GDP data for the Eurozone published yesterday revealed that the area has once again slipped into recession. According to Eurostat Q3 GDP was down by 0.1%, which is the second consecutive quarterly decline. Only the German and French economies expanded, both by 0.2%. Martin van Vliet from ING comments: “GDP figures clearly demonstrate that the Eurozone economy as a whole is in desperate need of macroeconomic stimulus. With policymakers seemingly reluctant to engineer a coordinated pull-back from fiscal austerity, more monetary stimulus and a weaker currency is likely to be needed to put Eurozone back on a path of sustained growth.” ECB Governing Council member Luc Coene declared in the European morning that Spain should urgently seek EU aid.

  13. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 15 2012 EU's Rehn: Spain has taken effective action on budget deficits in 2012 and 2013 EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn made a statement on Spain on Wednesday, regarding the country's deficit moves. According to the European Commission's assessment the Spanish government has taken effective action for 2012, 2013 as far as restoring sustainability of public finances is concerned. Nevertheless, it would fail to meet the deficit target for 2014. Mr Rehn declared that Spain currently does not need additional measures and that the progress of its budget consolidation will be evaluated once again by the EU in February, by which time it might be necessary to introduce further measures. He added that he does not see the need for Rajoy's government making a bailout request in the nearest future. The EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner also acknowledged that Spain is currently undergoing difficult rebalancing of the economy and that its government and people are making great efforts to assure sustainability of the country’s finances. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/15112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-15 09:00 GMT : Italy.

  14. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 14 2012 Bild story on bundled aid payment for Greece boosts sentiment. German newspaper Bild Zeitung published an article in which it claims that the Berlin is preparing a 44 billion euro aid payment for Greece, combined from three pending bailout tranches. When asked about the report, German Finance Minister's spokeswoman said that no decision has been taken on the Greek bailout. “Color me skeptical”, writes Mark Chandler, Global Head of Currency Strategy for BBH. “To give Greece such a large sum at once is counter to the underlying strategy of doling out the aid in tranches to provide assurances of compliance. This is tantamount to unilateral disarmament by the creditors. Second, three euro area members require parliamentary approval, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands. It it unlikely to receive support.” The Bild report boosted sentiment and the Euro rebounded off a two-month low against the greenback. The Greek Public Debt Management Agency held a bond auction on Tuesday in order to roll over 5 billion euros of debt maturing on November 16. It sold 4.062 billion euros worth of 1-month and 3-month T-bills and the total amount should reach 5 billion if all non-competitive bids are included. 1-month T-bills were sold at an average yield of 3.95%, while 3-month T-bills yielded 4.2%, compared to 4.24% seen in October. The auction was given the green light by the ECB which had to raise the ceiling on the amount of T-bills so that Athens would be able to continue refinancing short-term debt -FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/14112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-14 09:30 GMT : United Kingdom.

  15. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 13 2012 U.S. ‘Fiscal Cliff’ likely to rock USD – Goldman Sachs Looking ahead to December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2013, Goldman Sachs’ Global FX Monthy Analyst, says the upcoming U.S. ‘fiscal cliff’ episode has noteworthy potential to boost USD initially, followed by a sharp USD sell-off. Goldman Sachs explains: “The logic of this price action closely follows the pattern of markets temporarily losing confidence in the ability of polarised policymakers to compromise. During this period it may look as if the ‘fiscal cliff’ is becoming reality and that the economy could face a negative fiscal shock of up to 5% of GDP. The temporary negative response in cyclical assets would likely also trigger a broader USD rally.” Goldman Sachs continues: “After that, when policymakers do find a compromise, possibly helped by the market concerns reflected in cyclical asset weakness, risk sentiment could improve rapidly and the USD would weaken again.” Busy day ahead for the London session A bunch of data releases will keep traders glued to the wires today. The show starts with French jobs data and current account at 07:45 GMT, followed 15 minutes later by Spanish CPI, Italian CPI at 09:00 GMT, and the highly followed German ZEW at 10:00 GMT, while the ECOFIN meeting, held in Brussels, will take place all day long.

  16. Daily Forex Analysis from FXCC Nov 12 2012 Greece passes 2013 budget bill After holding a vote on its 2013 national budget, the Greek government has passed the bill, one that includes additional cuts touching the most controversial areas of pensions, salaries and benefits. The reaction by the markets has been very subdued, with Euro ticking marginally higher. At present, worries are far greater on the prospects of Greece facing a default scenario this week, something that renowned papers like the Financial Times highlight on its front-cover. Greece should find a way to raise as much as €5bn in order to avoid default in a coupon of debt maturity, with the Troika and European paymasters, including Germany, still stuck in an impasse as to how to ease the country's debt burden, and with authorities still in disagreement over providing Greece the next aid tranche worth over €31.5 billion. For the short term, the Financial Times reports in a weekend article that "the country’s debt management office has announced plans to cover the full amount through a treasury bill auction on Tuesday, but Greek banks expected to buy the issue can only raise about €3.5bn of collateral acceptable to the ECB, according to two senior Athens bankers" the paper reports. It is thought that in case of a shortfall in the capital raised, Greece will have to tap funds from a reserve for bank recapitalisation held by the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, worth over €3 billion, as option of last resort-FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/12112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-12 **:** GMT : European Monetary Union.

  17. Daily Forex Market Analysis from FXCC Nov 09 2012 ECB's Draghi: Growth momentum to remain weak in 2013 As expected, the ECB Governing Council decided to keep the main interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.75% at their November monetary policy meeting. Speaking at the press conference following the meeting ECB head Mario Draghi commented on the considerations underlying the decision. The president suggested that inflation should stay above 2% throughout the rest of 2012 and fall below 2% in the course of of 2013, adding that “over the policy-relevant horizon, in an environment of modest growth in the euro area and well-anchored long-term inflation expectations, underlying price pressures should remain moderate.” Mario Draghi said that growth momentum in the Eurozone would remain weak in 2013. He assured however that ECB's monetary policy was directed at stimulating growth in the area and that its readiness to activate the OMT program was boosting market confidence. He urged EU governments to continue reducing fiscal imbalances and applying structural reforms to strengthen growth potential in the area. He said that positive effects of the fiscal consolidation efforts so far could already be seen and that a quick implementation of the fiscal compact would further reassure markets - FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/09112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-09 07:00 GMT : Germany.

  18. Daily Forex Market Analysis from FXCC Nov 08 2012 Small chance of a ECB rate cut in November; BoE might introduce additional QE Market experts' views on the ECB and the BoE November monetary policy meetings are rather mixed, as recent economic data and the developments in the European debt crisis as well as the implications of the central banks' latest decisions leaves them with options for action this month. Almost all of the analysts contributing to the special forecast report agree that there is a very slight possibility of the ECB carrying out an interest rate cut at the upcoming meeting because, as Ilian Yotov writes, "with the OMT bond buying program plan already in place" the central bank can afford to wait for another month." Only Yohay Elam believes that "there is a good chance that the ECB will cut the rates by 0.25%" in November, in the light of "a small slide in inflation, the worsening economic situation, and fear of another credit crunch." As far as the BoE monetary policy meeting is concerned, the experts' projections range from "it should be interesting" to "as usual, a non event." The majority believes that there is a possibility of an extension of the asset purchase program by an additional 50 billion pounds. The upcoming BoE and ECB monetary policy decisions will be announced today at 12:00 and 12:45 GMT, respectively - FXstreet.com UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-08 **:00 GMT : United Kingdom.

  19. Daily Forex Market Analysis from FXCC Nov 07 2012 Obama re-elected as US President Barack Obama's second four year term in the White House is a reality, with semi-official confirmations given just minutes after 4GMT when most media outlets, including NBC, CBS, SKY,AP, Bloomberg, projected Obama's victory in Ohio, a key state for Obama in order to guarantee another second four year mandate. Mel Know, Editor at FXstreet.com, reports: "there were people somewhat surprised of the early confirmation of victory, but Obama has been picking off key swing states one by one. With 73% of the vote in, Ohio is projected to go to the president – no republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. The president has also won in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, leaving Romney required to win all three battleground states of Ohio, Florida and Virginia, where the race is too close to call. But the president has already reached the magical 270 Electoral College mark. Game over." The USD was sold-off aggressively as soon as the news of an Obama win came in, with markets pricing in an extended term from the president that has brought the US debt to GDP to uncharted territories by enjoying at the helm of the Fed ultra-dovish Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his quest for QE to infinity.According to John J Hardy, Head of FX Strategy at Saxo Bank, the Obama victory, "is more risk positive, USD negative as immediate reaction, but any further reaction in this direction could quickly fade as uncertainty over fiscal cliff settles, which would be USD positive and risk negative." - FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/07112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-07 08:15 GMT Switzerland.

  20. Daily Forex Market Analysis from FXCC Nov 06 2012 Greece submits austerity bill to parliament; narrow win expected The Greece government submitted on Monday the €13.5bn austerity bill to parliament. Now the next step is to vote for it, first to be considered by parliamentary committees on Tuesday and a full vote on Wednesday. Despite there has been some defectors the ruling coalition, expectations are pointing for a narrow win, thought to be enough to not jeopardize the next aid tranche worth over EUR 31.5 billion. According to James Coleman, Founder at Forexlive: "A failure to pass the austerity law would send the entire bailout process into chaos and rise the prospect of Greece defaulting later this month. A much weaker euro would result." As the Guardian UK notes: "Democratic Left, the junior partner in the coalition, tells us it will abstain on the vote and predicts a narrow win for Antonis Samaras's government." A Reuters report raised concerns earlier on Monday, after it suggested that eurozone leaders will hold out any decision on the next disbursement to Greece until the last minute, that is, the next November 12 EU official meeting may yet again disappoint on this front as no guarantee of a decision seems in sight.- FXstreet.com https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/06112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-06 **:** GMT | United Kingdom. 10-y Bond Auction 2012-11-06 08:58 GMT | European Monetary Union.

  21. Market Overview by FXCC Nov 05 2012 Greece to present new austerity package today FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Greece government, still in despair trying to find new ways to cut public spending, will present a new austerity proposal to parliament on Monday. In the proposal, it will be key to win enough acceptance if the country is to comply with the Troika requirements and not put at risk a still 'doubtful' next aid tranche worth over EUR 31.5 billion. The country faces a new week with tensions in the street escalating fast, with plans of strikes and protests. A 2-day strike against the next austerity bill is expected on Tuesday, with marches through Athens' city centre taking place. Greek parliament will be voting on an austerity package mounting 13.5 billion euros, mainly aimed at tax hikes and more flexibility for firms to enroll people on temporary labour contracts and make them redundant. "These will be the last cuts in wages and pensions," Samaras said on Sunday, cited by Reuters. "We promised to avert the country's exit from the euro and this is what we are doing. We have given absolute priority to this because if we do not achieve this everything else will be meaningless" Samaras added. As Richard Lee, FXstreet contributor, notes: "A dead vote on the austerity measure would place significant pressure on the single currency, as a delay of disbursement by the EU’s Troika could technically place Greece in a sovereign default. Greek benchmark 10-year bonds are reflective of the sentiment, with the yield rising a little over 40 basis point to 18.18% in the last two days." https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/05112012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-11-05 00:00 GMT | All.

  22. Market Overview by FXCC Oct 24 2012 Euro searching for catalyst strong enough to break its range, FOMC eyed Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve's policy setting committee began a two-day meeting, with a policy statement to be released Wednesday.According to Marc Chandler, Global Head of Currency Strategy at BBH, given the proximity of the election and the fact that an open-ended asset purchase plan was announced last month (QE3 or QE+), there will be a great deal more talk than action at the FOMC meeting. "There are two issues that market expects the Fed to discuss. The first may fall under communication, but is really more substantive", says BBH. "Currently the Fed uses a calendar date approach, now mid-2015 to guide expectations of the minimum amount of time the Fed will keep interest rates low. There has been some talk…that perhaps the Fed should provide numerical targets". The second issue addresses the amount of securities the Fed is purchasing, says BBH analyst. "The question here is whether the Fed should roll the $45 bln a month in Treasuries it is buying under Operation Twist (and selling short-end holdings) and roll them into QE3+", he explains. "This would mean buying $85 bln a month in MBS and Treasuries a month". https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/24102012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-10-24 14:00 GMT | United States.

  25. Market Overview by FXCC Oct 05 2012 ECB waits for Spain to act; bailout to come over the next month - Standard Chartered The ECB looks set to keep rates on hold in November too, according to Standard Chartered European Economists Sarah Hewin and Thomas Costerg, while expecting recession "will trigger a cut by year-end" they note. Details on the new bond-buying plan remain thin, "but the ECB is likely to be tough on conditionality" the bank suspects. As per the timing abou the Spanish bailout, Standard Chartered thinks "they will need to ask for support over the next month, despite German reluctance." "The ECB left its Refi rate unchanged in line with expectations, although market reaction does suggest there were at least some hopes for a rate cut today", says Vassili Serebriakov, Currency Strategist, Wells Fargo Bank. "With the ECB decision out of the way, markets will be looking ahead to US September nonfarm payrolls report", he says. "Judging from recent US data, the jobs numbers should not be particularly weak, which in our view could play into further gains in risk-sensitive commodity and emerging currencies". https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/05102012/ UPCOMING EVENTS : 2012-10-05 07:00 GMT | Switzerland.
