Loonie pulls back from current account deficit lows FXstreet.com (London) - The Canadian dollar has recovered some ground after falling to intraday lows at CAD1.0571. USD/CAD has clawed back ground on choppy trading, currently down 0.07 percent at CAD1.0591. The Canadian dollar fell on a report from Statistics Canada showing that the country’s current account deficit narrowed less than expected in the third quarter, with export growth subdued. The Canadian dollar has been hit by a downturn in demand from the US, is biggest trading partner. Canada registered a CAD15.5bn current account deficit in the third quarter, declining from a revised C$15.9 billion second-quarter print, but still coming in higher than anticipated. The weakness in Canadian exports signals that the Canadian dollar may be overvalued, suggesting a longer-term bullish trend against the US dollar.

BoE Carney shifts lending focus from home buyers to SMEs as house prices accellerate FXstreet.com (London) - Bank of England governor Mark Carney today announced that the central bank would be moving to strongly rein in its policy to support mortgage borrowing as house prices begin to further accelerate. The Bank of England launched the Funding for Lending scheme in June last year in tandem with the Treasury to prop-up lending to home buyers and small businesses. Under the Funding for Lending scheme, banks and building societies are able to access cheap credit from the central bank as a carrot to encourage them to lend. However, with the UK economy strongly outperforming forecasts, the BoE is set to pare the scheme back to focus on support for small businesses struggling to gain access to credit. "Although the growth in household loan volumes remains modest, activity is picking up and house price inflation appears to be gaining momentum," wrote Carney in a letter to Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. "We should refocus the FLS so that it continues to support lending to the business sector, without adding further broad support to household lending at a time when that is no longer necessary."

Flash: EUR, year-end squeeze a growing risk - TDS FXstreet.com (London) - A research team at TD Securities said the EUR might have found a modest bid on the back of news that Germany finally has a government but the void since the September election has hardly been a factor in the past couple of months so we doubt the news was that significant for investors. Key Quotes: “Moreover, chatter of further ECB easing steps has not weighed on the EUR at all today. While we remain broadly bullish on the USD outlook over 2014, the risk of a short-term squeeze higher in EUR/USD that we have highlighted remains alive”. “Since 1999, December has been one of the better months of the year for EUR/USD, delivering a near 2.5% average gain. Even when the outsize rally in late 2008 is removed, average gains are still nearly 2%”. “With EUR/USD through the November 20 high (date of the negative depo rate story), the risk of further, near-term EUR gains is rising”.

USD/CAD out of consolidation? FXstreet.com (London) - USD/CAD has rallied higher on up beat US data and has broken out of the consolidative range of 1.0560 acting as previous resistance. Meanwhile, strategists at TD Securities said there is little on the domestic front (September Average Weekly Earnings) to drive the CAD so focus will remain on external issues and flows. USD/CAD traded heavily earlier in the week as the market backed off the upper 1.05 area but the lack of downside follow-through suggests the market is consolidating, rather than reversing the mid-November rally. We remain bullish on the near and longer-term outlook for funds (we target 1.06 for end 2013… near-term but we think that minor dips remain a buy. USD/CAD Levels The 20 DMA is 1.0468, the 50 DMA is 1.0390 and the 200 DMA is 1.0321. RSI (14) reads 67.50. Supports are ascending from 1.0414, 1.0436, 1.0480, 1.0516, 1.0550. Spot is currently 1.0594 while resistances are 1.0609, 1.0658 and 1.0674. OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Nov 27,2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates

GBP/USD is sub 1.6300 again with consumer confidence rebounding 75.1 vs 73.5. Meanwhile, strategists at TD Securities note that decent growth numbers were near consensus however for the UK, and it seems the outsized GBP rally also had a lot to do with a break of key resistance at 1.6240/50. “A close above that level would add to bullish momentum”. GBP/USD Levels The 20 DMA is 1.6073, the 50 DMA is 1.6083 and the 200 DMA is 1.5522. RSI (14) reads 73.76. Supports are ascending from 1.6093, 1.6110,1.6134,1.6168, 1.6210, 1.6241 and 1.6260.

Flash: Sterling exports needs EZ – TDS FXstreet.com (London) - Marcin Budkiewicz, Strategist, Rates and FX Research at TD Securities, noted that there were no shocks in the second print of UK GDP and even in the details were largely in line. Key Quotes: “There was a bigger drag from exports than expected, which can still be another decent boost for the UK should the Eurozone get back to growth”. “The September services numbers were slightly weaker at +0.2% M/M instead of 0.4% M/M, but not enough to meaningfully bias the handoff to Q4”.

USD/CAD rejected from 1.0560 FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) - The USD is now losing some ground, dragging the USD/CAD to the area of 1.0540 after hitting session highs near 1.0560 on Tuesday. USD/CAD lower after US data, risk appetite Poor results from the US Consumer Confidence, with the gauge dipping beyond estimates to 70.4 vs. 72.9 for the month of November, collaborated with the current decline, which seems to have found support near 1.0540. The persistence of a risk-on context would be adding to the correction lower as well. According to Sebastien Galy, Strategist at Societe Generale, “The uptrend started in Jan 2013 and is helped by a more dovish BoC (low productivity vs US, risk of a housing correction linked to high debt levels) and probably more importantly a stronger USD. Since the last BoC meeting, the bearish CAD theme has hit a global audience most probably explaining the resilience of USD/CAD to the downside”. USD/CAD levels to watch The pair is now down 0.07% at 1.0542 with the next support at 1.0520 (low Nov.25) followed by 1.0513 (low Nov.22) and then 1.0485 (high Nov.19). On the flip side, a breakout of 1.0558 (high Nov.26) would open the door to 1.0584 (high Nov.25) and finally 1.0586 (high Jul.8).

Flash: EUR/USD resilient between ECB and Fed – Rabobank FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) - Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank, commented that the current uncertainties regarding the start of the Fed’s QE tapering and the ‘wait-and-see’ stance in the ECB would likely be behind the EUR/USD resilience. Key Quotes “Insofar as the market remains obsessed with the timing of Fed tapering, threats of further policy action from the ECB have limited power over the direction of EUR/USD”. “Although the Fed did not rule out tapering in December in its October policy meeting, we suspect that the Fed will remain on hold until March and that the USD will take its time in clawing itself back to stronger levels. This implies that the ECB will have little choice but to retain its dovish threats”. “Even so we expect that EUR/USD will remain well supported at least into year end and most likely until it is clear that the Fed are on the brink of tapering. We see risk of EUR/USD holding above the 1.30 area until H2 next year”. OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Nov 26,2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates

USD/JPY: BoJ minutes lift yen from lows FXstreet.com (London) - The yen has made some recovery from yesterday’s lows on minutes from the Bank of Japan’s October meeting. USD/JPY has depreciated 0.14 percent so far today to JPY101.4335. The minutes indicated that central bank officials saw risks to the Japanese economic outlook. Board member Sayuri Shirai proposed to add to the BoJ’s semi-annual Outlook report the phase "attention should be paid to downside risks" given concerns over US economic activity and the Japanese domestic market. Board member Takahide Kiuchi, who has been vociferous in pushing for the BOJ's 2 percent inflation target to more flexible, proposed the inclusion of the statement that prices are "likely to continue on a moderate rising trend." Risk rally out of yen The yen yesterday tested six-month lows on increased risk appetite following the signing of Iran’s accord on nuclear activities. As part of the agreements concluded in Geneva yesterday morning, Iran will freeze or roll back its uranium enrichment programme to levels which would signal that Iran was not preparing to enrich to weapons grade. In return, around USD7bn of international sanctions will be raised. The risk on rally pushed USD/JPY to JPY101.88.

Flash: AUD strengthened modestly overnight on RBA commentary - BTMU FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Lee Hardman, FX analyst at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ notes that the foreign exchange market has remained relatively stable overnight. Key Quotes “The Australian dollar has strengthened modestly supported by comments from RBA Deputy Governor Lowe who stated overnight that “the threshold for intervention though is fairly high”.” “However, he didn’t “rule intervention in or out” which has been a long-standing practice for the RBA. Noting that “in the past, we have been prepared to intervene in the currency market when it’s clear the currency was misaligned or the market wasn’t working well.”” “The speech also highlighted the main economic challenge the Australian economy now faces as it “can no longer depend on rising terms of trade and favourable demographics” to boost living standards which will require an offsetting pick up in productivity.” “It echoes recent comments from the Australian Treasury’s top economic forecaster David Gruen, who stated that Australia should brace for the weakest income growth in half a century in the coming ten years.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Nov 26,2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates

Greek PM Samaras sees no fiscal shortfall for 2014 FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Greek PM Antonis Samaras visited Berlin on Friday to hold a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and discuss Greece's progress on its bailout commitments. The Greek leader said he did not see a shortfall in Greece's aid program and assured that the country would not ask for any additional funds. Samaras expressed hope that the negotiations with the Troika international lenders would end soon. He assured that Greece would continue implementing the necessary reforms in order to receive the next tranche of aid. Angela Merkel admitted that Greece had made considerable progress in implementing reforms, which would be evident in the primary surplus. She acknowledged the sacrifices made by the Greeks and urged the country to deliver on its commitments as this is the only way further funds could be released. "And what I am taking away from everything discussed today is that it's not very easy but it's doable," the German Chancellor said.
