ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 AUD/USD: technical comments AUD/USD gains after yesterday’s drop on FOMC results. The pair slid from a four-month high at $1.5051 (August 1 maximum) below the important support at $1.0475 (April 27 maximum, beginning of a sharp May decline), but now is moving on the upside. The pair still trades close to the upper boundary of the upward channel existing since mid-June. On the daily and H4 chart the pair trades above the up-directed 200-, 100- and 50-period MAs. On Tuesday a shooting star candlestick formed on a daily chart. In our view, a medium-term uptrend looks rather resilient. The next strong resistance lies only at $1.0750/60 (Sep. and Oct. 2011 maximums) and at $1.0855 (2012 maximum), though there will probably be some hurdles around $1.0625 (March 20 maximum, February 14 minimum). Bulls have a clear advantage above $1.0475 (April 27 maximum, beginning of a sharp May decline). We concede a correction to $1.0400 (middle of the channel) and to $1.0280 (200-day MA). If you want to sell on corrective more, wait for a decline below $1.0435 and target $1.0300. Exit from the upward channel will pave the ground for a further decline to $1.0176 (July 25 minimum) and to $1.0100 (July 12 minimum). Chart. H4 AUD/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 RBC: sell USD/JPY on rallies USD/JPY continues trading in its habitual patterns in the H1 chart: consolidation – move on the news – leveling up etc. Yesterday’s lack of easing on the Fed’s part brought the pair above 78.35, to the new higher range. Analysts at Societe Generale note that USD/JPY rallied on each central bank meeting day this year except on January 12 when the ECB and the BOE left their policies unchanged. RBC recommends selling US dollar on rallies as this is, in their view, exactly what domestic investors in Japan will do. The specialists remind that yen tends to appreciate in August due to by Japanese investors’ coupon receipts on US Treasuries holdings and unusually low liquidity in forex markets in the month. Support: 78.30/25 (recent resistance of the narrow sideways range, 50-period MA on H4 chart, MAs at H1 chart), 78.00, 77.90. Resistance: 78.55 (today’s maximum), 78.65, 78.80, 79.00, 79.20. Chart.

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Analysts: comments ahead of the BoE BARCLAYS: No policy easing is expected until November's MPC meeting. Today's ECB meeting is potentially likely to be a bigger driver of the pound, than the BoE meeting. MORGAN STANLEY: Recent weak economic data means markets might be looking for the BOE to take action but this is unlikely to happen yet. Ahead of the meeting, sterling could come under pressure although the currency could enjoy a rebound as the BOE disappoints investors hoping for a dovish outcome. CAPITAL ECONOMICS: We expect more asset purchases and a 25 b.p. rate cut, but not until November. IHS GLOBAL INSIGHT: A rate cut is off the cards for now as it would hit banks' profit margins and constrain their ability to lend. An additional 25 billion pounds of asset purchases is likely to happen in Q4. ROYAL BANK OF CANADA: We don’t expect any measures this week. However, the combination of last week's dismal growth data and a sharp fall in inflation means next week's inflation report could signal another 50 billion pounds increase in the bond-buying stimulus program in November. GOLDMAN SACHS: No change is expected in the BOE's stance this week. However, we think further 25 billion pounds easing is likely to be necessary in November, when the existing QE program runs out CITIGROUP: No change is expected as the BOE won’t react so quickly to last week's disappointing growth data.

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 BarCap: play on SNB’s selling euro This week the Swiss National Bank reported that the share of its euro holdings increased from 51% in Q1 to 60% in Q2. Analysts at Barclays Capital are sure that the SNB will have no choice, but to sell the single currency reducing its exposure to its depreciation. In their view, the central bank’s move will have the biggest impact on EUR/CAD and EUR/GBP, some of which has likely already happened in July. Aussie will be also supported by the SNB’s diversification flows. Idyllic Swiss countryside. Photo by alex_zbruew Quote Breakeven Trading100% deposit return guarantee!

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 USD/CHF: strong resistance ahead USD/CHF keeps moving up within a gently sloping gently sloping uptrend which started in May. On July 24 the greenback reached the maximal level since November 2010 around 0.9970. The pair’s currently trading around 0.9790. Note that this is only 250 pips below the 200-week MA at 1.0040. This level represents an extremely strong resistance as US dollar hasn’t been able to consolidate its position above this line since 2002. This is why we expect USD/CHF to stall below the parity. For now, it’s difficult to come up with a fundamental driver which could help US dollar overcome an immense resistance of the 200-week MA and bring it above this level on the sustainable basis. The Fed refrained from easing and may keep doing so until the Operation Twist is over late in December, while the US economic performance remains far from encouraging. Moreover, no need to explain what burden is US so-called fiscal cliff for US currency and these problems will be also at full sight as the year-end approaches. On H4 chart we see what may become a “head and shoulders†formation. If the pattern is completed and the neckline around 0.9750 breached, we will be looking forward to a decline to the 0.9570/50 area (January maximums). Chart. H4 USD/CHF Resistance: 0.9970 (July 24 maximum), 1.0000 (psychological level), 1.0040 (200-week MA). Support: 0.9750 (July 17 minimum), 0.9660 (June 8 and 29 maximums), 0.9580/70 (January maximums).

Today the pair reached a 3-week high at $0.7905, but then slid below a psychological $0.7900 level. Analysts at Commerzbank expect the pair to push higher to $0.7905/50 in a near term (38.2% Fib. retracement from a May-June decline and the May minimum).

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 GBP/USD: technical comments GBP/USD surged to $1.5678 on ECB and Mario Draghi’s comments, but then slid back to $1.5500 levels. This week the pair declined for three consecutive days, showing the sharpest fall on Wednesday. The pair has been bouncing in a flat range since June after trading in a bearish channel in May. In our view, GBP/USD is likely to remain in a sideway channel in the nearest future because of the strong resistance levels concentrated in the $1.5735/85 area (200-day MA, 50% Fib. retracement from a May drop and the upper boundary of a daily Ichimoku cloud). A close above $1.5780 could open the way for a further rise to $1.5904. On a downside the next support for the pair out of the bounds of the sideways channel lies at $1.5392 (July 12 minimum) and at $1.5267/33 (June and 2012 minimums). According to analysts at Commerzbank, GBP/USD may fall to $1.5000 (two-year low) after it failed to overcome the $1.5735/85 resistance area. In their view, repeated failure to break through the resistance means the pair will depreciate in 1-3 month. Chart. Daily GBP/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

ryuroden Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Draghi’s press conference The ECB President Mario Draghi delivered almost nothing today: it seems by claiming that the ECB will do whatever needed to save euro Draghi simply delayed the inevitable slide of the single currency. The ECB governing council discussed rate cut, but concluded that the time for then isn’t right. Draghi: - “There was no mentioning of bond buying last week. I just gave the general philosophy of the ECB’s approachâ€. - The EFSF should buy the debt of the euro zone’s problem nations. As for the ECB, it may take further non-standard measures. The central bank’s going to discuss options of future action including unconventional policies and “there’s no need to specify them,†“the relevant committees should examine further measures.†- Monetary policy can’t solve all the problems of the euro area. Governments have to act. - Inflation should decline further to below 2% in 2013. Inflation expectations are firmly anchored. - Euro zone growth remains weak. - Heightened uncertainty is weighting on euro sentiment. Euro is irreversible. “It’s pointless to go short on euro. It will surviveâ€. - Risk premium for some nations is exceptionally high. High yields are unacceptable. - “Any bond buying will be focused on the short part of the yield curve.†- “Current design of ESM does not allow it to be recognized as a suitable counterparty.†- “I am surprised by amount of attention ESM banking license has received.†EUR/USD spiked up to $1.2294 before plunging to $1.2173.

ryuroden Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Analysts: comments on BoE decision Barclays Research: The August Inflation Report (next Wednesday) is expected to be dovish as the domestic economy and external demand both are weak and inflation in decline. We expect the MPC to increase QE in November by 50 billion pounds and to cut Bank rate to 0.25%. Royal Bank of Scotland: Last month's boost to the asset purchase scheme needs a little time to bed in, as do the new schemes to encourage lending. But the situation is serious, so the Committee is unlikely to have ruled out looser policy in future. Investec: We continue to judge that for now the Bank will use quantitative easing tool.

The pair has been bouncing in a $1.5450-1.5750 range since June after trading in a bearish channel in May.

ryuroden Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Analysts’ opinion about ECB’s approach Draghi’s press conference has greatly agitated the markets as the ECB’s chief disappointed investors by announcing no new bond-buying and giving only some vague promises. Let’s see what analysts think about the whole situation: ING Bank: “Nothing is going to happen until countries ask the [rescue funds] to intervene. The ECB is not the big savior of the euro.†High Frequency Economics: “Once again, we have no commitment to action from the ECB, and no execution of promises previously made. Nothing seems set to happen now. Traders and investors who expected immediate action are, and should be, disappointed. More scolding of governments, but no ECB action, is the bottom line.†Sumitomo Mitsui: “All the vital decisions seem to be pushed back to September. But given worries about funding of Greece and Spain, risk for financial markets will rise as time goes by.†Barclays Capital: there was “a clear sign that the ECB is prepared to change policy significantly at its September meeting, in terms of purchasing debt without claiming seniority subject to the EFSF being deployed to buy government debtâ€. BNP Paribas: “Expectations should have been much better managed, and Mr. Draghi's credibility is taking a hit accordingly.†JP Morgan: “Draghi has unfortunately painted himself into a corner.

ryuroden Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 August 6: forex news EUR/USD is trading about 60 pips below 1-month maximum around $1.2440. Spanish 10-year yields closed on Friday right below the critical 7% mark, while Italian ones closed at 6.08%. Demand for the euro was limited before data tomorrow may show that Germany’s factory orders and Italy’s industrial production fell in June. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) of shares gained 1.8%, snapping a three-day drop: markets still expect central bankers to stimulate economic growth. Demand for safe currencies, therefore, declined: Japanese yen and US dollar touched the lowest in more than three weeks against the euro. However, risky currencies’ growth is limited and “safe havens†have already started going up ahead of important events scheduled this week. USD/JPY remains flat, demonstrating a decline today. Risky currencies carefully weaken after Friday’s rally on US NFP release: AUD/USD trades around $1.0560, slightly below a four-month high, while NZD/USD slipped from a three-month high and trades below $0.8200. USD/CAD trades on its lowest level in three month, hovering right above parity. Events to watch today: Euro area: Sentix investor confidence (8:30 GMT) is expected to decline from -29.6 in July to -30.8 in August. The indicator is in the negative zone since the second half of 2011. US: You must have missing Bernanke with all the talk about the ECB, haven’t you? Well, we’re going to hear the news about the Fed’s Chairman anyway as he will speak in a prerecorded video about economic measurement before the 32nd General Conference of the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth. Bernanke may add some comments about the central bank’s decision to add monetary stimulus last week, but will probably say he’s still worried about the state of American economy.
