Forex: USD/CAD rallies after US and Canada data From 1.0025 area, that was serving as resistance during the European morning, the USD/CAD broke through and rallied to as high as 1.0067 on Canada and US data releases. Canada manufacturing shipments fell -3.1% in December, a wider drop than the -0.8% expected. US NY empire state manufacturing came in at 10.08 in February, surprising analysts that were only expecting an improvement from -7.78 to -2.00. Although capacity utilization in the US improved from 78.8% (revised from 79.3%) to 79.1% in January, beating 78.9% consensus, industrial production fell -0.1%, instead of rising 0.2% as expected. Last month's data was revised lower, from 0.4% to 0.3%. MIG Bank analysts expect the USD/CAD to edge lower as it has failed to break its resistance at 1.0100. "The inability to break the resistance area between 1.0057 and 1.0100 could be the start of a medium-term bearish reversal pattern", wrote analyst Bijoy Kar, pointing to an hourly resistance at 1.0044 (13/02/2013 high), while supports can be found at 1.0000 (14/02/2013 low) and 0.9933 (07/02/2013 low).

Forex Flash: Europe trend growth below "Great Moderation" – Merrill Lynch After running several scenarios (one hypotheses on the speed at which investment recovers and whether it can reach pre-crisis levels; and another taking into account the impact of higher unemployment (and the capacity to reduce it), demographics and the quality of education) and looking at the fundamentals behind an economy’s capacity to grow (investment in physical and human capital, and the ability to innovate and embed innovation into business) and capacity to innovate, the overall result is that the capacity to grow (trend growth) remains below that observed during the “Great Moderation” (1995-07), according to BofA Merrill Lynch analysts. "Having said that, assuming European productivity converges with that of the US, we expect healthy trend growth after 2015", they wrote, pointing to elevated deflation risks, due to steep loss in cyclical production. "Consequently, in our exercise, we assume the negative output gap that opened up in 2008 remains large throughout the crisis period and closes only by end-2014 - an assumption in line with most international organizations’ projections", they continued, expecting inflation to decelerate to end-2014. In case inflation decelerates faster, ECB would likely "need to cut rates further and possibly experiment with more unconventional policies".

Forex: EUR/CHF retraces from highs, around 1.2330 The Swiss franc is trimming earlier gains vs. the single currency on Tuesday, pushing the pair from the boundaries of 1.2280 to the current levels around 1.2330, challenging overnight tops above 1.2340 After a G7 statement regarding the so-called ‘currency war’, Trevor Greetham, Director of Asset Allocation at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, argued, “On one level, this is a slap on the wrist to Japanese ministers talking about specific levels but it allows them to carry on with policies aimed at creating domestic inflation. You could argue the clear FX manipulators out there are the Swiss with the SNB’s Jordan saying today that the Swiss franc’s 1.20 cap against the euro is still in place, the franc will weaken further and they stand ready to take further measures”. At the moment, the cross is posting marginal losses at 1.2332 or 0.02%. Next support levels line up at 1.2255 (lows Feb.8/11) ahead of 1.2200 (psychological level) and then 1.2187 (low Jan.14). On the upside, a break above 1.2356 (high Feb.12) would expose 1.2369 (high Feb.6) and then 1.2505 (high Feb.4).

Forex Flash: Energy dependence a reason to be a long term GBP/USD bear – Societe Generale Kit Juckes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale feels that the UK´s energy dependence situation is a good reason for being a long term bear on GBP/USD. However, Juckes sees more supporting factors on the horizon. Firstly, he notes concern expressed by the fed´s Professor Stein about asset bubbles. Fed hawkes are slowly building influence and a policy rethink may still be months away but will be inevitable in the long run. Secondly, he notes the trend in UK inflation which has been above the MPC´s target since 2009. He writes, “UK inflation has been above US inflation since October 2008, and that has a bearing on the real exchange rate too. GBP/USD will track EUR/USD, so Euro resilience will support GBP/USD. The pound still looks undervalued on a fundamental basis relative to the Euro. But despite that, short GBP/USD seems a viable long term trade and a better tactical trade than shorting EUR/USD too early. It’s certainly a good way of expressing the shift in relative energy dependence.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Feb 11, 2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates

Forex Flash: NOK/SEK could find downside pressure this week – Danske Bank The pair is retracing earlier gains after posting fresh monthly highs in the proximities of 1.1660 ahead of the Riksbank monetary policy meeting due on February 13. Market consensus still remain pretty divided regarding a rate cut, as late improvement in Swedish data out of the retail sales and manufacturing and services PMI would add further pressure to the Nordic central bank. “We remain hesitant and still believe that a cut in April is more plausible as the Swedish economy in line with the global economy seems to be stabilising. If we are correct that the Riksbank will keep rates unchanged, NOK/SEK should see some downside potential this week”, explained Senior Analyst C.Tuxen at Danske Bank.

Forex Flash: What lies ahead of EUR/USD? – Commerzbank, BTMU and UBS The shared currency has managed to put the ECB meeting in the rear window and is currently posting fresh highs in the proximities of 1.3420, buoyed by the likeliness of an agreement from the European Council on the 2014-2020 Budget. Recalling the last break above the key area of 1.3485/1.3562, Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank commented, “We suspect that this was a false break higher, however key support remains the 1.3125 6 month uptrend and a close below here is required to negate the upmove completely.” In addition, Derek Halpenny, researcher at BTMU, explains “We may finally get an EU budget deal later today with rumours of a deal based on the first real-term budget cut in EU history. That may help stabilise the single currency which is being undermined in part by some renewed liquidation of yen short positions”. The bullish outlook on the cross remains intact, according to Strategists G.Yu and G.Berry at the Swiss UBS, arguing, “The strong support is at 1.3354. While this holds, the risk is for resumption of strength. Resistance is at 1.3578 ahead of 1.3711”.

Forex Flash: USD/JPY year-end target at 95.00 – Scotiabank The Japanese yen seems to have found intraday support in the boundaries of 93.10 on Thursday, after the ECB has ignited a rally in the safe havens, dragging the cross from levels around 93.70 “The upward trend in USDJPY is too strong to fight and tied into equities. Technicals are not providing any warning signals that the trend is at risk. We hold a year-end USDJPY target of 95, but expect that it could temporarily range as high as 100 before drifting back”, assessed Camilla Sutton, Chief Currency Strategist at Scotiabank.

Forex: GBP/USD holds up at 1.5700 after UK NIESR GDP Incoming BoE Governor Carney brought the GBP/USD back above the 1.5700 psychological level after triggering a rally from 1.5650 to 1.5769 spike high with his testimony before the UK Parliament. Since then, the pair has been consolidating its position above 1.5700, even after the release of UK NIESR GDP estimate for January. From an estimated -0.3% recession in December, the estimate of growth over the last 3 months in the UK has risen to 0.0% in January, according to NIESR. Incoming BoE Governor Carney assured that he would not alter significantly the central bank's current monetary policy strategy but that he was in favor of introducing more stimulus for a period of time and communicating it in order to help manage market expectations. He also said that the central bank must exit unconventional policy. The MPC decided to keep the key rate at 0.5% and the asset purchases at £375B, as expected by investors, in the meeting of February 7. “The £6.6 billion cash flow comprises the redemption payment on the gilt, as well as the cash flow resulting from the indemnity provided by HM Treasury to the Bank of England in order to cover any difference between the redemption payment and the original amount invested”, said the official statement. “The GBP/USD currency pair continues consolidating near its minimums. I think today the pair may form any type of reversal pattern to start growing up and break the latest descending channel”, wrote Roboforex.com analyst Igor Sayadov.

In a recent speech to the European Parliament, French President Francois Hollande urged the euro zone to set a mid-term target for the EUR exchange rate In a recent speech to the European Parliament, French President Francois Hollande urged the euro zone to set a mid-term target for the EUR exchange rate and to forge a jobs policy to fight political disillusionment at reforms. Hollande's calls ran into immediate opposition from German Economy minister Roesler who recommended that the focus should instead be on competitiveness rather than weakening the currency. Luxembourg Finance Minister Luc Frieden said the euro's level doesn't concern him at present and its strength follows the economic reality of the euro zone. Staying in Europe, Fitch joined Moody's and S&P in assigning a negative outlook to Netherland's AAA rating. According to Macro Strategy Analysts J. Reid and C. Tan at Deutsche Bank, “The outlook revision reflects Fitch's concerns over persistent banking system problems – as highlighted by the recent nationalization of SNS Reaal (the country's fourth largest banking group) - and public debt levels higher than those of top-rated peers.” Dutch 10yr yields closed 3bp higher on the day and were largely unmoved following Fitch's announcement.

Forex Flash: No reason for a AUD selloff on the RBA decision - Commerzbank Commerzbank analysts consider the RBA statement to be relatively balanced: "It is becoming clear that the RBA will take a wait and see attitude as far as domestic demand is concerned before taking further steps. After all it left the key rate unchanged at 3.0% which corresponds to our expectations", wrote analyst Antje Praefcke, adding that the stamente pointed out that the global outlook has improved, a fact that other central banks have also referred to recently, and there are only moderate changed to the domestic economy part. As growth is slightly below the trend (but past rate cuts are beginning to show some of the expected effects) and inflation remains low, it very much looks as if the RBA wasn’t done yet with its current rate cut cycle but as if it prefers to wait for further data releases before changing rates again. "Easier conditions would in turn make things easier for areas outside the mining sector to fill the gap left by the end of the investment boom in the mining sector", he wrote. "The RBA is clearly hoping for a soft transition in a divided economy: slowly ending investment boom in the mining sector with a simultaneous recovery in other sectors (e.g. manufacturing sector and others) thanks to lower rates", continued the Commerzbank analyst, attentive to what is coming next, but with no reason to sell the AUD massively as a result of the rate decision. "We think 1.0350-80 should hold in AUD-USD", he concluded. OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Feb 05, 2013 OctaFX.Com News Updates
