fallenDC Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 MPC unanimously voted to keep rates at 0.5% According to the minutes of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee August meeting released today, the 9-member MPC unanimously voted to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.5%. The two hawks – the BoE’s chief economist Spencer Dale and the external policymaker Martin Weale – abandoned their calls for the rate hike. It’s also necessary to note that the odds of the second bout of quantitative easing in the UK have strengthened. This time only Adam Posen repeated his proposition to raise the QE program by 50 billion pounds to 250 billion pounds, several other members seems to consider the idea. The debt crisis in the euro area, US economic slowdown and UK's own problems persuaded the committee that inflation would fall to its 2% target without the increase of the borrowing costs. The pace of British CPI growth rose from 4.2% in June to 4.4% in July. Rabobank International notes that the minutes were clearly dovish, though the BoE Governor Mervyn King had already indicated earlier that central bank could remain on hold until 2012. Currency strategists at Credit Suisse believe that if cyclical indicators deteriorate during the next few weeks, there will be likely more votes for QE in September. http://static2.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/17_08_11/.thumbs/ad3664e695787d5296b4eb6b99d1a3c6_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 BBH: USD/CAD will keep declining The greenback gained nearly 6.5% versus Canadian dollar after it hit the 4-year minimum in the 0.9400 area at the end of June and tested on August 9 the levels above the parity for the time since February. Then, however, US dollar weakened to the 0.9830 zone erasing about a third of its advance. Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman claim that the pair USD/CAD may decline more. In their view, in the coming days US dollar may fall to 0.9700 and 0.9640 versus its Canadian counterpart. The specialists note that Canadian dollar strengthened due to the revival of the equity markets, in particular, US S&P 500 (CAD’s one-month correlation coefficient with the benchmark American stocks index reached 0.89). In addition, the price of the crude oil, Canada’s largest export, has also risen supporting the nation’s currency (one-month correlation coefficient is at 0.45). Strategists at MF Global advise investors to watch loonie on Friday: Canada’s CPI release and the Bank of Canada Governor’s Mark Carney’s and the Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s speeches on the euro zone’s debt crisis and the US budget deficit will likely make the trade more volatile. Analysts at Royal Bank of Canada believe that the officials will sound more cautious than they did in the middle of July. http://static1.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/4444118655f3506d64962f913d1746e6_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 RBC: comments on USD/JPY Analysts at RBC Capital Markets note that despite the fact that the market’s risk sentiment has worsened the greenback has managed to stay within its recent trading range above 76.40 yen. The pair USD/JPY has found support due to the information that Japanese Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan agreed to join their efforts and to work as one in order to fight yen’s strength. The specialists note that investors are now cautious of interventions. However, if US dollar doesn’t show significant advance during the next 1-2 days, the market may lose confidence in the intervention pledges and USD/JPY will go to the record minimum at 76.22 yen. http://static.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/b6218f7f2434fcda00309cd8e182ca24_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economists at ZKB note that the resistance for euro lies at 1.1555. If the single currency breaks above this level, it will manage to rise to 1.1665, while if it drops below 1.1350 would make it slide to 1.1165. http://static1.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/947a1a5c773228822c4fd2e8e84b63f8_500_0_0.jpg Currency strategists at Commerzbank think that the Swiss National Bank should act more decisively in order to weaken franc as the increase of liquidity has failed to solve the problem. As for the USD/CHF, the bank believes that the pair currently risks to go down to 0.7802, but if it manages to rise above 0.8034, the greenback will be able to rise to the 55-day MA at 0.8157 and then to the 2011 downtrend line at 0.8184. http://static1.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/d7c6ff5b0c225107182aa8c353a6f49d_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 EUR/USD: all attention on US inflation data US CPI data are released today at 4:30 pm (GMT+4). If inflation has risen, the odds of the new round of quantitative easing will decline that would be positive for the greenback. If the figures are, on the contrary, lower than projected, the pair EUR/USD may jump higher. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg think that American consumer process gained 0.2% in July after a 0.2% slide in June. The annual inflation rate is seen declining from 3.6% in June to 3.3% last month. The core CPI without food and fuel is expected to add during the year through July 1.7% after rising by 1.6% during 12 months through June. Analysts at BMO Capital Markets think that US inflation is leveling off as energy prices decreased. As the nation’s economic growth isn’t high any strong upward pressure on consumer prices is unlikely. http://static2.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/0ec30af13fc4dd8f6b1cd1e88bc3c4f9_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Citi, Commerzbank, BBH: GBP analysis EUR/GBP The single currency declined from the levels around 0.8800 to the 0.8700 zone. Technical analysts at Commerzbank note that support for EUR/GBP lies at 0.8668/44 (August minimum). The slide below this area will bring euro down to the 55-week MA at 0.8612 and to the 4-year uptrend line at 0.8556. If the pair climbs above 0.8883/86 (late July maximum and current August peaks) it will be able to stabilize and get chance to rise to 0.8977/0.9000. Currency strategists at Citi believe that EUR/GBP may move only a bit down on the fears about the euro zone’s debt crisis as the pound may suffers as well because UK banks have a sizable 14% GDP exposure to weak euro-zone countries, surpassing that of Germany and France, while that the euro zone remains the UK's largest trading partner and exports are seen as a preferred way out of the crisis in the UK. http://static2.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/e562569bbce325cca06f507780da795c_500_0_0.jpg GBP/USD Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman believe that British pound is overbought versus the greenback. In their view, GBP/USD may consolidate between 1.6480 and 1.6600. According to Citi, the pair will keep getting support from the fiscal austerity in the UK, though the further deterioration of the economic growth will likely put sterling under negative pressure. http://static.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/18_08_11/.thumbs/f76b0d61f72060150fdb1aa6460d5f1e_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Morgan Stanley: US growth forecast reduced Analysts at Morgan Stanley reduced their forecast global economic growth in 2011 from 4.2% to 3.9% and in 2012 – from 4.5% to 3.8%. As the main reason for the downside revision the specialists cited the debt burdens of developed nations. According to the bank, the policymakers didn’t do enough to contain the euro zone’s debt crisis, while the business and consumer confidence weakened due to the German economic slowdown and the looming threat of the recession in the United States. In addition, the situation is complicated by the fact that many governments have to conduct austerity measures. The bank diminished prediction for G10 nations from 1.9% to 1.5% this year and from 2.4% to 1.5% in 2012. Fiscal tightening will have a negative impact on the demand in the Western world that, in its turn, will affect Chinese economy. Morgan Stanley cut the projections for China’s growth from 9% to 8.7% (in 2012), while Deutsche Bank lowered the forecast from 9.1% to 8.9% (in 2011).

fallenDC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Pimco: Greece has to dafault to save Spain and Italy Economists at Pacific Investment Management Co., the world’s largest bond fund manager, believe that the European policymakers should allow Greece, Ireland and Portugal default making sure that Italy and Spain will be able to avoid this fate. The specialists note that while the region’s authorities are reluctant to admit the necessity of such desperate step, the situation keeps deteriorating. According to Pimco, Germany, France, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank have to come up with a huge bailout package available to the entire euro zone, except for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, thus letting these indebted peripheral nations default and making Italy and Spain safe. As French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected at their summit on Tuesday, August 16, the idea of creating the common euro zone bonds and the expansion of the 440 billion-euro ($633 billion) rescue fund, Pimco thinks that the most likely scenario will be that the ECB will keep supporting the problem nations, while it itself will be bailed out by Germany.

Technical analysts at MIG Bank believe that although today sterling has pulled back to the $1.6475 area, the outlook for British currency remains positive.

US currency remains in the dangerous closeness to the record minimum at 76.22 hit on March 16 that’s regarded at the key support level. Technical analysts at Commerzbank believe that USD/JPY will retest this mark today.

According to the bank, resistance for US dollar is found at 78.04 (August 1 maximum), 78.45 (July 13 minimum) and 79.16/69 (55-day MA, May and June minimums). http://static1.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/19_08_11/.thumbs/319f39454f93c80ad06bd4f51fb585c2_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Japan urged G7 for more coordination Japan called on Group of Seven nations to work together to counter market turmoil. It happened after equities fell in Asia hitting consumer and business confidence and worsening the global economic outlook that is already undermined by the debt problems of the developed nations. The main reason of fear is the risk that US economic recovery has stumbled. The nation’s Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda underlined that during the next few weeks G7 has to cooperate very closely. Noda reminded that on August 8 the group’s finance ministers and central bank governors pledged to do all that is needed to ensure financial stability and growth. According to Bloomberg, Japanese Topix index fell today to 2-year minimum; China’s Shanghai Composite Index went down by 1.4%; Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dropped by 2.4%; South Korea’s Kospi index lost about 6%. The last time G7 nations acted together was in March when they performed joint intervention to calm down volatile yen moves after the nation’s March earthquake.

fallenDC Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 RBC: euro zone nations lack cooperation Analysts at RBC Capital Markets note that the euro area faces serious political risks. The specialists note that while European nations are supposed to show strong cooperation and coordination, the latest debates about the Greece’s second bailout indicate the opposite. The matter is that Finland that was reluctant of supporting indebted peripheral countries forced Greece to agree to put up collateral in exchange for a bailout loan. This made other nations – Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Netherlands – demand the same from Greece. As a result, Greece will have to spend scarce money on collateral rather than on getting its house in order, while the process of July deal’s implementation stalled. There’s the risk now that other countries who do not receive collateral may not vote in favor of the loan bailout casting doubts on the survival of the currency bloc. http://static2.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/19_08_11/.thumbs/9a7345373f6c0e9b9558617ecbc8d02c_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenDC Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Citigroup reduced US GDP forecast Analysts at Citigroup lowered US economic growth forecast from 1.7% to 1.6% in 2011 and from 2.7% to 2.15% in 2012. The estimates for the S&P 500 Index’s earnings per share were reduced from $98 to $97 this year and from $105 to $101 next year. The analysts claim that the main reason to cut the outlook for American GDP growth rate was the potential inability of political parties to agree on reducing the budget deficit as well as the fiscal tightening. Citigroup warns that if there’s no agreement, both tax increases and spending cuts larger than expected would be automatically triggered, so that very sharp tightening steps would occur in 2013 and could be sensed in financial market expectations during 2012. Yesterday there was a bunch of negative news in the United States: S&P 500 lost 4.5%, Philadelphia manufacturing PMI dropped to the minimal level since 2009, unemployment claims and consumer prices rose, while existing home sales decreased. Citigroup, however, doesn’t speak about recession. According to the bank, the US is going through weak recovery that won’t be able to gain full force.

USD/JPY Weekly USD/JPY Last week the pair USD/JPY remained in the area of the record minimums: on the one hand, the demand for Japanese currency as the safe haven remained high due to the continuing risk aversion and, on the other hand, the risk of further Bank of Japan’s interventions held US currency from falling. The greenback doesn’t have any significant support, while resistance to it is provided by the horizontal Tenkan-sen (1) and Kijun-sen (2) as well as by the descending Ichimoku Cloud (3).

The descending Ichimoku Cloud has widened as Senkou Span A has plunged, while Senkou Span B went down mildly. At the same time, the pair has at last found some support opening above Tenkan. So, this week the bulls may be more active, though any advance of the pair is likely to be limited.

However, currency strategists at BNP Paribas believe that EUR/USD will fail to rise above $1.45. In their view, the pair is struck between $1.41 and $1.45. The specialists note that euro will get under negative pressure in case of weak euro-zone data such as PMIs, ZEW and IFO that are released this week. Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman claim that as the deterioration of the global economic outlook and renewed fears about European banks strengthened investors’ risk aversion and made stock markets slump last week, the demand for riskier currencies such as euro will be low and the pair EUR/USD will fall to $1.4000. http://static.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/22_08_11/.thumbs/ef630329d8eb427d01e414bcb5887f7f_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenDC Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 TD Securities, ANZ: outlook for NZD RBNZ The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's quarterly survey shows that the CPI expectations for the year ahead were 2.94% compared with 3.12% in a similar survey held the previous quarter, while inflation expectations for the next 2 years decreased from 3.00% in the previous survey to 2.86%. Strategists at TD Securities note that during the next 2 years inflation expectations are likely to stay higher than actual inflation. In their view, in September the RBNZ can reverse its emergency 50-basis-points rate cut made in March after a massive earthquake in the nation's second largest city. Then the central bank is expected to stay on hold for several months judging the impact of the overseas economic issues on the outlook for exports and commodity prices. Impact of China’s PMI Analysts at ANZ believe that New Zealand’s currency is supported by the positive preliminary HSBC China Manufacturing PMI data. Investors’ risk sentiment has slightly improved after the Asian stocks performed well. The market players will look for the drivers mainly from the global risk picture. On Wednesday, however, one should watch important 2Q retail sales figures. Technical analysis NZD/USD broke above resistance at $0.8320. According to ANZ specialists, support for kiwi lies at $0.8220. If things go bearish and the pair falls below the psychological level of $0.80, it may drop to the 3-month minimum sliding during the next 2 weeks to its 200-day MA at $0.7868. http://static.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/23_08_11/.thumbs/b4b8af26a7140193f801c612f08890eb_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenDC Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 NAB: Aussie rose versus the greenback Australian dollar rose today versus its US counterpart from the day’s minimum at $1.0385 to the levels in the $1.0500 area. There are 2 reasons for Aussie’s gains: firstly, the better-than-expected Chinese Manufacturing PMI data that brightened the market’s sentiment and, secondly, comments by the Reserve Bank of Australia's deputy governor, Ric Battellino. The HSBC preliminary PMI went up from 49.3 in July to the 2-month maximum at 49.8 in August. Analysts at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi believe that the figures mean that investors don’t need to be too pessimistic about the growth pace in China. Battellino claimed that inflation remains a big concern for the RBA. The official underlined that the strength of the national currency doesn't warrant intervention by the central bank and in the current situation the attempts to weaken Aussie’s rate would bring no results. Economists at National Australia Bank think that such remarks mean that the central bank will stay on hold on the September 6 meeting, while the fixed-income market has been widely expecting about the possible rate cuts. http://static1.fbs.com/upload/image/technical_analis/August2011/23_08_11/.thumbs/c24a17a7d1b38849a412878c0ea3ef05_500_0_0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
