No change expected from BoE at its November MPC meeting - RBS






FXStreet (Łódź) - Ross Walker, Senior UK Economist suggests that the upcoming BoE monetary policy meeting will be uneventful, with no changes expected and no statement to be released.


Key quotes


"It is not so long ago that November’s MPC meeting was being eyed as the most likely point for the first Bank Rate rise (a 25bp hike was fully priced as recently as mid-June, while the market was evenly split between November 2014 and February 2015 in mid-August)."


"Evidence of weaker global demand and more broad-based (if still mild) domestic disinflationary pressures mean that the prospects of any policy change or statement on November 6thare fairly remote."


"We expect the BoE Inflation Reporton 12thNovember to broadly validate current market pricing for the first Bank Rate hike to come around August 2015."

Oil price rally falls on Thursday on USD rise






FXStreet (Łódź) - Independent Analyst Malcolm Graham-Wood notes that yesterday's rise in the greenback on positive US GDP data and Fed members' comments pushed oil price further down.


Key quotes


"With the price of Brent being about the same as the beginning of the week traders have reported that the market has felt a little better this week but…"

"I have so far had a number of 30.9m b/d which would be a 14 month high and up on September’s figure."

BoJ QE increase and Fed QE end could impact USD/JPY - J.P. Morgan





FXStreet (Łódź) - The J.P. Morgan team of analysts see believe that the sharper divergence between the BoJ's and the Fed's monetary policies could have a considerable impact on USD/JPY.

Key quotes

"Possible change in relative balance sheet between the BoJ / the Fed and real yield differentials between Japan / US suggest a significant upside risk in USD/JPY."

"We now see USD/JPY to appreciate to 120 by September 2015. We recommend buying a 6-mo 114-120 USD/JPY call spread against selling a 6-mo 107 put, RKI 104. This costs 12bp."

"Today, the BoJ unexpectedly decided to expend QQE by a 5-4 vote."

"Todays decision indicated BoJ's seriousness to push up Japan's inflation to 2%. Indeed, in their semi-annual Outlook Report, BoJ did not change their forecast of core CPI for FY 2016 at 2.1% (excluding the impact of consumption tax hike)."

"BoJ decided to hold more risky assets in their asset side and put liability side (the yen note) at risks. BoJ seems to be very serious to devalue the currency they issue."

"If the BoJ, who issue the yen note, are so serious to devalue of the yen, probably it will happen. The next question may be if they can stop the devaluation once Japanese people start worrying about holding the yen note."

"Indeed, the giant fund who manages pension money of Japanese people already shows the way. The GPIF also announced new target for their portfolio today."

"Under the new portfolio, GPIF will have to sell large amount of JGB, which will be absorbed by the BoJ, and buy more stocks and foreign assets. Actually, new allocation was also surprising to us because they will increase more foreign assets compare to we thought."

All eyes on ECB monetary policy meeting - BNZ





FXStreet (Łódź) - Spiros Papadopoulos, economist at BNZ, suggests that th eECB shouldn't make any unexpected moves at its monetary policy meeting this Thursday.

Key quotes

"With interest rates at the zero bound, there is nothing that practically can now be done on rates unless the corridor between the deposit and refinance rates is widened. We do not look for this to happen."

"The ECB is hoping that the results of the banking stress tests and AQR will see Eurozone banks acquire enough capital to be able to lend freely to corporates, which then leaves the ABS scheme as a cheap form of funding for further lending."

"However, this will only become clear in December when the second TLTRO auction is held. Until then, the ECB will be crossing its fingers and hoping."

Chinese demand rises amid falling Gold prices




FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Gold prices have lost almost USD 50 since the Federal Reserve ended its QE program while sounding upbeat about the US economy. Despite this, Chinese demand as reported by Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) appears to have increased sharply.

The latest weekly withdrawals figure from the SGE hit 59.7 tonnes, which takes the aggregate total total Chinese gold demand this year to 1 600 tonnes. Moreover, the total demand for 2014 may exceed 2000 tonnes if the size of the weekly withdrawals remains constant in the days ahead. Last year, Chinese demand was huge even though Gold prices were pummeled.

The yellow metal is trading largely unchanged today at USD 1171.30/Oz. A sharp rise in the US Dollar index is capping gains in the yellow metal. Meanwhile, Gold may post gains if the US manufacturing data due for release at 15:00 GMT disappoints market expectations.

Gold Technical Levels

Gold has an immediate resistance at 1183.50, while the immediate support is located at 1160.50 levels.

GBP/USD capped by 1.6020




FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD rose through the 1.60 mark and printed fresh daily highs, filling the weekly opening gap in the process, following stronger than expected UK manufacturing PMI.

GBP/USD managed to bounce off a daily low of 1.5925 and rose nearly 100 pips throughout the day toward a high of 1.6020 before finding resistance and settling in a slim range over the last hours. At time of writing, the pair is trading at the 1.5998, virtually unchanged on the day.

GBP/USD technical outlook

“The short-term momentum is negative as long as prices remain below the hourly resistance at 1.6038 (30/10/2014 high). Another hourly resistance stands at 1.6088 (28/10/2014 low)”, said Peter A Rosenstreich, analyst at Swissquote Bank SA.

“In the longer term, given the significant deterioration of the technical structure since July, the strong resistance area between 1.6525 (19/09/2014 high) and 1.6644 (01/09/2014 high) is expected to cap any upside in the coming months. Monitor the current consolidation phase near the strong support at 1.5855 (12/11/2013 low)”, the analyst added.

Bullish outlook for USD/CAD - TD Securities



FXStreet (Łódź) - The TD Securities team of experts observe that the headwinds for the CAD such as weaker commodities, continue this week so the bull trend for USD/CAD should remain in place for now.

Key quotes

"The week ahead will be hallmarked by two dual releases in the form of US and Canadian trade figures tomorrow and both countries’ employment reports on Friday."

"In a nutshell, we are expecting Canadian trade to surprise on the upside and we have an on-consensus view on Canadian employment, whereas we are slightly below consensus on US trade but above consensus on US employment."

"The first hurdle for the CAD will be trade—and we think risks here are somewhat asymmetric; ok-to-good data do little positive for the CAD but another disappointing outcome will hurt the CAD more. If both our employment forecasts come to fruition (-10K in Canada vs +239K in the US), funds will surely have another big up day Friday."

"Governor Poloz speaks this afternoon at an event organized by the Canadian Council for Public Private Partnerships. We do not expect his speech to break new ground on the BoC latest thinking but the press conference scheduled at 14.00ET bears watching, as it will provide journalists the opportunities to ask the questions they could not ask upon the release of the MPR on October 22nd."

"We remain conviction bulls on USDCAD; the headwinds we noted for the CAD last week—softer commodities and wider (more USD-supportive– remain evident at the start of the week and the charts are shaping up quite bullishly; the 40-day MA hold last week suggests the broader bull trend is intact, the consolidation (bull flag) break out points to more immediate gains and new highs, the higher weekly high negates a mildly negative weekly candle in the week before last."

"We think modest dips are a buy and we would be reluctant to fade gains from here—USDCAD is shaping up for a move (recall weekly technicals point to 1.18+)."

GBP/USD wobbling around 1.6000


FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling remains in a sideline pattern on Tuesday, taking GBP/USD to the area around the psychological limestone at 1.6000.

GBP/USD looks to the US for direction

Absent relevant data or events in the UK economy, spot will focus on the US data releases later on today for better clues regarding direction, at least until the BoE MPC meeting due on Thursday. In the meantime, the pair seems comfortable hovering over the 1.6000 neighbourhood today, unable to break the consolidative mood either way. According to Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, Rallies will find initial resistance at 1.6062 (20 day ma) ahead of key resistance at 1.6185.

GBP/USD wobbling around 1.6000


FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling remains in a sideline pattern on Tuesday, taking GBP/USD to the area around the psychological limestone at 1.6000.

GBP/USD looks to the US for direction

Absent relevant data or events in the UK economy, spot will focus on the US data releases later on today for better clues regarding direction, at least until the BoE MPC meeting due on Thursday. In the meantime, the pair seems comfortable hovering over the 1.6000 neighbourhood today, unable to break the consolidative mood either way. According to Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, “Rallies will find initial resistance at 1.6062 (20 day ma) ahead of key resistance at 1.6185. Short term onus remains on the downside, while we trade below 1.6185”.

US index futures hint at a weak opening on Wall Street




FXStreet (Mumbai) - The equity futures in the US declined as investors await evidence, in the form of macro data, that the economy can sustain a withdrawal in stimulus.

The DJIA December futures are trading lower by 0.19% at 17,253 levels, while the S&P December futures are trading 0.25% down at 2006.15. Meanwhile, the Midcap index Russell 2000 December futures are trading 0.35% lower at 1162.00.

Earnings reports may provide further clues to the health of the U.S. economy. Prudential Financial Inc., 21st Century Fox Inc., and Walt Disney Co. are among the S&P 500 companies posting financial results this week.
