In the meantime, Greece will remain the main driver for the global sentiment in the very near term, while debt talks are set to resume on Sunday or Monday between Greek officials, and their ECB and IMF counterparts. Looking to Monday’s docket in Euroland, Italian inflation figures, EMU’s trade balance results and the speech by ECB’s M.Draghi appear in the horizon. EUR/USD key levels As of writing the pair is up 0.16% at 1.1276 and a surpass of 1.1297 (high Jun.12) would aim for 1.1334 (high Jun.11) en route to 1.1387 (high Jun.10). On the flip side, the next support aligns at 1.1151 (low Jun.12) followed by 1.1087 (low Jun.8) and finally 1.1049 (low Jun.5).

  4. CBR ready to cut rates further – TDS FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Paul Fage, Strategist at TD Securities, sees the Russian central bank to lower its benchmark rate by 100 bp at its meeting on Monday. Key Quotes “At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) on Monday (15 June), we expect the key rate to be cut by 100bps to 11.50%. This is in line with the consensus”. “The headline inflation rate has passed its peak and can be expected to continue to trend downwards over the rest of the year. With the economy remaining weak the CBR is keen to get rates down as quickly as possible”. “The weakening of the ruble since the last board meeting has been in part due to the CBR’s own actions. We think that the CBR is comfortable with USDRUB around current levels (55) and hence that on Monday, a somewhat less aggressive rate cut than the 150 bps at the April meeting is appropriate”.

Key Quotes “After Kuroda’s comment on JPY REER which has been fading USDJPY bullish momentum, the upper ceiling of USDJPY may be below 125-level, Next week, USDJPY may stay around 123 until the FOMC meeting. The Fed may display a more cautious tone over tightening monetary policy signaling a more gradual pace of rate hikes.” “The negative impact on the US dollar may prove modest as it has already weakened in advance of the FOMC’s upcoming meeting. The lower bound may be supported by JPY selling near 121.50 USDJPY.” “The recent rise in global yields might reduce the risk capacity. Japanese investors will have JGB redemption cash which may support JGB buying, not foreign assets buying toward the end of June.” “USD/JPY – Neutral Bias – (121.50-124.50)” June 12,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

  8. EUR/GBP targets fib 22 April low FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/GBP is currently trading at 0.7237 with a high of 0.7258 and a low of 0.7196.

"Resistance at 0.7391 is regarded as the last defence for the 0.7482 May peak. We will neutralise our outlook for now as the move feels somewhat directional. Above 0.7482 will introduce potential to the 0.7685/94, the 38.2% retracement of the move down from 2013 and the 55 week ma."

  9. US University of Michigan consumer confidence bounces back – ING FXStreet (Barcelona) - Reviewing the US University of Michigan consumer confidence data release, James Knightley, Senior Economist at ING, sees the stronger than expected jump to 94.6 combined with the robust labour market data signalling an improvement in consumer spending. Key Quotes “The preliminary reading of the University of Michigan confidence index for June has risen nicely to 94.6 from 90.7. This is well ahead of the consensus estimate of 91.2 and is stronger than every single reading in 2013 and 2014, although is lower than some of the readings seen at the start of this year, suggesting that the household sector remains in very good shape.” “The bulk of the gains came from the current conditions component, which rose 6 points, but the expectations component also rose and is at levels consistent with real consumer spending growth of close to 3%YoY.” “With employment bouncing back after 1Q weakness and average hourly earnings showing signs of finally breaking out of the 1.5-2.3% YoY range it has been in since 2009, we feel that the US labour market now has some real momentum that will give the consumer greater confidence to spend.” “With next week’s CPI report set to suggest inflation has bottomed already we are increasingly looking for the Federal Reserve to hike rates in September with next week’s press conference and FOMC statement set to exhibit more signs of a willingness to tighten monetary policy amongst FOMC committee members.” June 12,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!
  10. Chilean central bank keeps the hawkish stance – Scotiabank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Eduardo Suarez, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, reviewed the recent statement by the Chilean central bank (BCCh) after its monetary policy meeting. Key Quotes “The BCCh issued a very brief statement last night after its MPC meeting, where it left most of its message intact”. “On the external front, the central bank noted the gradual rebound in global growth, but also highlighted rising global interest rates, as well as diminishing capital flows into EM”. “On the domestic front, the BCCh described the recent performance of the Chilean economy as “in line with the Monetary Policy Report”, including inflation, which is expected to remain high for some time”. “However, inflation expectations are seen as anchored, which probably explains why the bias of the central bank remained a vigilant pause”. “The BCCh noted the slowdown in wage increases, and did not mention indexation this time. We think the statement was fairly consistent with recent communication, although maybe a little less hawkish”. June 12,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

  12. US retail sales rebound strongly after 1Q weakness - ING FXStreet (Barcelona) - Reviewing the US retail sales data result for May, James Knightley, Senior Economist at ING, notes that details suggest the consumer psyche of saving rather than spending continued, but September looks likely for a rate hike. Key Quotes “US retail sales for May have rebounded after the weather depressed readings seen in recent months. They rose 1.2%MoM, in line with market expectations while April was revised up to +0.2%MoM from 0.0 and March is now reported as +1.5% versus +1.1% previously. This shows a marked improvement in consumer spending on the December-February period where we saw three consecutive contractions.” “Motor vehicles were particularly strong, rising 2%MoM and building material saw sales rise 2.1% and gasoline station sales rose 3.7%. Nonetheless, even if we strip out these volatile components, the so called “control” group (which tends to better match the pattern in broader consumer spending), shows that spending was strong. This core measure of retail sales rose 0.7%MoM versus the 0.5% consensus and again there were upward revisions to the past couple of months’ data.” “Consequently, this report backs up the assumption that we didn’t see a change in consumer psyche – that of saving rather than spending. Indeed, it is pretty clear that the weakness at the start of the year was weather related. This view is backed up by the rebound in housing activity and the decent payrolls number for April. As such it should give markets greater visibility on the likely path of Fed policy with September looking likely for the start of the tightening cycle.” June 11,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!
  13. US initial jobless claims stay below 300K for a 14th consecutive week FXStreet (Mumbai) - The US labor department data released on Thursday showed the first time applications for unemployment benefits last week stayed below 300K for the 14th consecutive week, indicating the resilience in the labor market. The initial jobless claims increased by 2,000 to 279K in the week ended June 5. The actual figure was slightly higher than the consensus estimate of 277K. The four-week average of claims, which provides a more accurate picture of the labor market strength, climbed to 278,750 last week, from 275,000. Meanwhile, the continuing claims rose by 61,000 to 2.27 million in the week ended May 30. The sustained strength in the labor market is likely to translate into higher consumption, as indicated by the rise in the retail sales released today.

  16. NZD/USD seen at 0.69 medium term – Danske Bank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Senior Analyst at Danske Bank Christin Tuxen has suggested the pair could slip towards 0.69 in a 6-month horizon. Key Quotes “The significant terms-of-trade shock which NZD has suffered during the course of the past year is now feeding through to the growth and inflation picture for New Zealand”. “RBNZ has shifted to a clear easing bias and the market is pricing Wheeler’s action to a ‘lowflation’ outlook”. “As we see USD strength returning in the near future ahead of a first Fed hike in September, NZD/USD is set to move lower on diverging monetary policy”. “We have lowered our near-term forecasts a little and see the cross hitting 0.69 in 6M (prev. 0.71). On a 12M horizon we do, however, expect USD strength to fade, and with upside risks to agricultural prices from a structural point of view, we expect NZD/USD to stabilise around the 0.70 mark and keep our 12M forecast unchanged at this level”.
