ECB keeps rates unchanged after August cut





FXStreet (Córdoba) - The Governing Council of the European Central Bank decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.05%, 0.30% and -0.20% respectively.


The ECB cut all three rates by 10 bps last month and announced an asset buying program - which details will be unveiled next week - aimed to provide liquidity to the real economy to fight low inflation and support growth.


Attention now turns to ECB President, Mario Draghi, who will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 12:30 GMT.

EUR/JPY rises slightly after ECB, Draghi eyed





FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/JPY edged a few pips higher but remained within its daily range after the European Central Bank decided to keep rates unchanged as widely expected after cutting all three rates last month.


The ECB left its benchmark rate unchanged at 0.05% and the deposit rate at -0.2% in today’s meeting. EUR/JPY reached a knee-jerk high of 137.51 but lacked momentum as attention now turns to ECB President, Mario Draghi, who will speak in a conference at 12:30 GMT.


At time of writing, EUR/JPY is trading at the 137.45 zone, virtually unchanged on the day, having recovered from a 3-week low of 136.94 scored earlier on the day.

EUR/JPY retakes 137.50





FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The upbeat momentum in the euro is helping EUR/JPY to extend its bounce off the boundaries of 137.00 the figure posted during the European morning.


EUR/JPY in 3-week lows


Spot seems to have found quite decent support around the 137.00 handle, levels last seen in early September, deflating from recent multi month peaks above 141.00 against a backdrop of mounting weakness around the EUR. The rebound in the cross is now running out of steam in the mid-137.00s, closely watching the events from the ECB. It is worth noting that the ECB will start its purchases of ABS and covered bonds in the last quarter of 2014 and will last for two years. “Near term rallies need to regain the 200 day ma at 139.62 in order to reassert upside pressure at this point and trigger a move to 141.88 and 143.55 (61.8% and 78.6% retracement of the move seen this year)”, noted Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank.


EUR/JPY levels to watch


The cross is now losing 0.01% at 137.44 with the immediate support at 136.99 (high Sep.8) ahead of 136.65 (low Sep.9). On the flip side, a breakout of 137.72 (high Oct.2) would expose 138.00 (psychological level).

GBP/USD falls further, nears 1.6100





FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD came under renewed pressure at the beginning of the American session once investors attention left the European Central Bank.


Following a short-lived recovery that was capped by the 1.6175 zone, GBP/USD resumed the fall and broke below the 1.6130/25 zone, sliding to its lowest level since September 10 at 1.6111. At time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.6125, recording a 0.36% loss Thursday and on track to post its seventh daily decline in a row.


GBP/USD technical outlook


“In the 4 hours chart the technical picture maintains a clear bearish tone, with 20 SMA below the 1.6235 Fibonacci resistance, tops in case of further gains”, said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. “A break below 1.6120 will increase the risk of a steady fall with immediate target at 1.6085”.

EUR/USD drops to lowest level in 2 years - FXStreet





FXStreet (Łódź) - FXStreet Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik observes that following the release of the better-than-expected US nonfarm payrolls report EUR/USD dropped as low as 1.2517, a level last seen in September 2012.


Key quotes


"US NFP data surprised to the upside, with 248K new jobs added in September, unemployment rate down to 5.9%, lowest since 2008, and an upward revision from previous month reading to 180K."


"The bearish momentum seems to be just picking up, despite the 1 hour chart showing indicators still heading south in extreme oversold levels."


"Pullbacks should now found sellers in the 1.2570 former year low, with a break below 1.2500 favoring a downward continuation towards 1.2440/60 price zone in the short term, yet eyeing next strong static support at 1.2370 price zone."

Ukraine to continue talks with Russia on gas deal next week




FXStreet (Łódź) - Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuri Prodan signaled on Friday that Ukraine could resume negotiations on the natural gas agreement with Russia at the end of next week.


Talks broke off last Friday, as the parties couldn't reach an agreement on the question of Ukraine's gas debt, which Russia's Gazprom claims amounts to 5.3 billion dollars. The company discontinued gas deliveries to Ukraine in June this year.


Both countries as well as the EU will suggest what would be the best solution they see to the situation, Yuri Prodan told reporters. He was unsure however whether Moscow would agree to deliver gas if Kiev made a prepayment of about 2 billion dollars.


Russian markets were boosted by the news.

GBP/USD into questionable territory



FXStreet (Barcelona) - GBP/USD is trading at 1.5959, down -1.14% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.6161 and low at 1.5952.


GBP/USD is now testing the mid point of the handle and November 2014 territory and this area may be regarded as oversold technically and fundamentally. However, from here, there is room towards 1.5920 perhaps and that could act as critical support ahead of the 1.5890/70 level when looking over the last two years. The greenback has been fuelled of course with the impressive Non farm payrolls data on a knee jerk, but if one were to look closer, wages have slipped back and that may prevent further advances in the greenback as we move in towards the close for the week.


GBP/USD weighed upon Central Bank outlook


Meanwhile, the market is anticipating that the next policy moves from both the Fed and the BoE will be rate hikes, as Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank noted and explained, “Surveys are suggesting that a BoE hike is expected in Q1 2015, some months ahead of a Fed hike around the middle of the year. On both counts we are more dovish than the market consensus”.


BP/USD noteworthy levels


Current price is 1.5960, with resistance ahead at 1.6004 (Weekly Classic S3), 1.6032 (Daily Classic S2), 1.6088 (Daily Classic S1), 1.6096 (Hourly 20 EMA) and 1.6105. Next support to the downside can be found at 1.5950 (Daily Classic S3), 1.5920, 1.5907 and longer-term lows are 1.4868 (3 Year Low) and 1.4334 (5 Year Low).

EUR/USD to fall further in the light of strong NFP - UBS



FXStreet (Córdoba) - Analysts at UBS expect the positive momentum for the USD to continue - in particular against the euro after strong US nonfarm payrolls.


Key Quotes


“The speed and the size of the current US dollar rally is very unusual. The fundamental investors and the momentum traders continue to walk hand in hand on the road to a stronger US dollar”.


“Non-farm payrolls were so strong on all aspects, that the Fed is urged to explain the rate hike ambitions in the light of this new information”.


“The ECB on Thursday confirmed its easing bias. We therefore expect the positive momentum for the USD to continue - in particular against the euro”.

EUR/JPY in no mans land between critical levels





FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/JPY is trading at 137.31, down -0.02% on the day, having posted a daily high at 137.91 and low at 137.11.


EUR/JPY stabilised at the 137.00/78.6% retracement level yesterday and has found territory again confirmed back onto the handle with a good rally over the course of the past 24 hours. The pair today was offered however with a market flooding away from the single currency with a mixture of poor data releases for the EZ and in a continuation of a strong Yen overnight. We are in no mans land here until a break of 138 to the upside and any rallies that could regain the 200 day ma at 139.62 would be required in order to reassert upside pressure at this point and trigger a move to 141.88 and 143.55 (61.8% and 78.6% retracement of the move seen this year), as explained by Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank. “Below 135.73 would trigger losses towards the 133.51/23.6% retracement of the move up from 2012”.


EUR/JPY hourly levels


With spot trading at 137.32, we can see next resistance ahead at 137.47(Hourly 20 EMA) and 137.75 (Yesterday's High). Support below can be found at 137.22 (Weekly Classic S2), 137.11 (Daily Low), 136.90 (Daily Classic S1), 136.87 (Yesterday's Low) and 136.44 (Daily Classic S2).

EUR/USD bouncing off 1.2500





FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The extreme weakness in the single currency seems to have found support in the vicinity of 1.2500 the figure on Friday, with EUR/USD now managing to clinch to 1.2510/15.


EUR/USD softer on data


The bearish trend in the pair has intensified today following the very positive US docket, with September’s Payrolls climbing to 248K and the ISM Non manufacturing surpassing expectations at 58.6, albeit a tad lower that August’s 59.6. There are no more releases in the US economy or Euroland, as markets slowly surrender to the post-NFP lull ahead of the weekend. Chief FX Straregist Camilla Sutton at Scotiabank said technicals remain bearish, adding, “most technical studies remain in bearish territory and warn of further downside risk. A close today below 1.2620 would warn of further near term downside, with some support at the recent 1.2571 low, but stronger support at 1.2500; resistance comes in at the recent high of 1.2699, followed by 1.2720”.


EUR/USD levels to watch


At the moment the pair is losing 1.20% at 1.2515 with the next support at 1.2502 (76.4% of 1.2042-1.3995) followed by 1.2493 (low Aug.31) and then 1.2487 (low Aug.30). On the upside, a break above 1.2676 (high Oct.3) would target 1.2699 (high Oct.2) en route to 1.2703 (10-d MA).

USD/JPY: BoJ could play its part in supporting the upward trend - Commerzbank





FXStreet (Córdoba) - According to Thu Lan Nguyen, analyst at Commerzbank in the coming week, the Bank of Japan could play its part in supporting the upward trend in USD/JPY by fuelling speculation about further expansionary measures.


Key Quotes


“The upward trend in USD/JPY may also gain support from the Japanese side in the coming

week though, as the monetary policy meeting of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) ends on Tuesday and, given the disappointing inflation trend so far, speculation about further expansionary measures from the central bank at the end of this month has increased (BoJ meeting on 31 October)”.


“We believe that the BoJ will not reach its inflation target and therefore will ultimately decide in favour of further large-scale asset purchases. That said, we do not expect such a step until early next year as the BoJ will probably allow itself time to be able to better estimate the inflation trend.”


“Nonetheless, the BoJ’s rhetoric will change. While it has been quite optimistic about the outlook for the economy and inflation so far, it is likely to be more cautious on inflation now given the downside risks. This should fuel speculation about further expansionary measures and weigh on the JPY”.

Bitcoin bulls lack strength





FXStreet (Mumbai) - The pullback in Bitcoin prices after the weekend’s slump has been lackluster so far, as the prices repeatedly fail to penetrate through 340-345 levels.


Bitcoin has come under pressure, off-late on threats that it may be brought under the regulatory framework. Despite the skepticism over the usefulness of Bitcoin, Silicon Valley investors have poured money into the Bitcoin wallet sector. Blockchain, the most popular Bitcoin wallet service, announced Tuesday that it has raised $30.5 million in a Series A round, marking one of the largest funding rounds of any Bitcoin startup to date.


Bitcoin technical levels


Bitcoin has a resistance of 343 and 350 while the support is located at 299 and 285.

GBP/USD in fresh highs post-BoE





FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The pound keeps the good mood on Thursday, taking GBP/USD to levels around 1.6215/20, printing new session peaks.


GBP/USD neutral following the BoE


Spot almost bypassed today’s BOE MPC meeting, after the ‘Old Lady’ left unchanged both the asset purchase facility and the repo rate at £375 billion and 0.5%, respectively. The outcome was largely expected by market participants and well priced in in the recent GBP performance. Traders will now look to the more significant BoE minutes (due in a couple of weeks) for further clues regarding the next rate hike and the slack in the labour market, amongst another key issues in the British economy.


GBP/USD levels to watch


At the moment the pair is up 0.26% at 1.6211 and a breakout of 1.6234 (50% of 1.6525-1.5943) would target 1.6235 (21-d MA) en route to 1.6252 (high Oct.1). On the down path, the immediate support lines up at 1.6154 (10-d MA) followed by 1.6115 (Tenkan Sen) and then 1.6032 (low Oct.8).

Ten-year yields decline in Europe and US




FXStreet (Mumbai) - The concerns of global economic slowdown triggered by the disappointing International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts and by the shockingly weak German economic data has pushed the benchmark bond yields in the US and Europe lower.


The ten-year yield in Germany is trading one basis point lower at 0.878, after having hit a record low of 0.859 yesterday. On similar lines, the French ten-year bond yield is trading weak at 1.245, which has been acting as a strong support for the last 7 sessions. Meanwhile, the ten-year yield in the UK is down two basis points to 2.20%.


In the US, the ten-year treasury yield is trading near August lows of 2.3, after hitting a high of 2.348. Interestingly, the two-year treasury yield has gained 1.75% to trade at 0.46. The two year note yield, a barometer of short term expectations, is up indicating that markets are pricing-in an early interest rate hike after the hawkish statement of Fed official Bullard.
