Banks start to charge customers for deposits in euro - Investec FXStreet (Łódź) - Jonathan Pryor, Corporate Treasury Analyst at Investec observes that following ECB's introduction of negative deposit rates some large global banks have begun to charge their clients for holding cash in euros. Key Quotes "This is the first glimpse of the trickledown effect of the ECB's recent move to negative deposit rates (negative deposit rates mean banks are paying to park their money with the ECB)." "The policy is designed to encourage banks to instead lend that money out to benefit the economy." "After an initial move to negative deposit rates earlier this year, the ECB lowered the rate further in September, leading to some banks now pushing those costs onto customers." "This could be the catalyst for the next move lower in the Euro, as wealthy individuals and larger corporations may choose to heavily reduce Euro holdings to avoid the costs."

Fed QE might be needed again - Deutsche Bank FXStreet (Łódź) - Jim Reid, Head of Global Fundamental Credit Strategy at Deutsche Bank argues that another QE program from the Fed is possible, probably during the next US recession. Key quotes "The rationale being that the terminal Fed funds rate will probably not be able to get high enough this cycle for conventional policy alone to be enough by the time we get to the next recession." "By this time the ECB may be fully into QE and the BoJ may have done more, so without Fed QE the dollar might also be becoming too strong for comfort. However after the events of the last few weeks could the Fed actually re-start purchases before a recession?" "Well Fed Williams made some interesting comments yesterday, albeit ones that were caveated. He was quoted as saying that 'If we really get a sustained, disinflationary forecast ... then I think moving back to additional asset purchases in a situation like that should be something we should seriously consider'." "However he did say it would take a big shift in the U.S. economic outlook for the Fed to restart its bond buying and that he still felt it would likely be appropriate to begin lifting rates from zero in the middle of next year." "So a fairly big bid-offer on how Fed policy might evolve over the next 12 month but another small sign from the Fed that there is some recent anxiousness about global growth and inflation."

AUD/USD pressing on to the downside FXStreet (Barcelona) - AUD/USD is trading at 0.8757, up 0.82% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.8789 and low at 0.8652. AUD/USD ran into supply at 0.8780 resistance and has been levelled at the support of the final session of last weeks business here but weigh quite heavily currently. Emmanuel Ng, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank said however that they would expect the AUD to derive some comfort following the latest September China trade numbers, with both exports and imports coming in stronger than expected. “While the PBOC’s assurances that the risk of a heard landing is very small may temper near term downside for the pair, note that on the CFTC front, net leveraged AUD positioning flipped to a net short balance for the first time since late March 2014”. AUD/USD noteworthy levels Current price is 0.8757, with resistance ahead at 0.8763 (Hourly 200 SMA), 0.8781 (Hourly 100 SMA) and 0.8826 (Daily Classic R2). Next support to the downside can be found at 0.8756 (Daily Classic R1), 0.8746 (Weekly Classic PP), 0.8742 (Hourly 20 EMA), 0.8718 (Daily Classic PP) and 0.8686.

EUR/USD keeps the narrow range FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency is looking to extend its consolidation pattern, with EUR/USD meandering between 1.2680 and 1.2700. EUR/USD unmotivated below 1.2700 Spot remains unable to break above the 1.2700 handle so far. In the meantime, dullness seems to be taking over markets following the lack of catalysts and leaving spot without the necessary spark to march beyond the 1.2700 mark. According to strategists at Westpac, “The sharp move in yields spreads against EUR/USD has arguably run its course and EUR/USD has bottomed, albeit only for the time being in both cases… EUR/USD may well trade back toward 1.2900 before upside is exhausted”. EUR/USD levels to watch At the moment the pair is up 0.41% at 1.2682 with the next resistance at 1.2698 (high Oct.13) ahead of 1.2716 (high Oct.10) and then 1.2743 (21-d MA). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.2638 (200-h MA) would expose 1.2605 (low Oct.10) and finally 1.2583 (low Oct.7).

CBOE VIX hits a 21-month high FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Chicago Board Options Exchange(CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) has hit a 21-month high of 22.30 today as the S&P futures and the DJIA fell by 0.22% and 0.24% respectively. The CBOE VIX is trading 4.99% higher at 22.30 at the time of writing. The Index bottomed out in June when the index had hit a low of 10.32. Since then, the volatility has been on the rise as the investors price-in the direction of the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy amid weakening global growth. The geopolitical tensions also had a role to play in pushing the VIX higher. Moreover, the VIX has given a breakout above key resistance levels, which may be a warning of further slide in the equity markets. VIX Technical levels The VIX has an immediate resistance of 23.23 (Dec 2012 high), above which it can rise to 25.00 levels. On the downside, 21.48 and 18.00 levels should act as the strong support levels.

Meanwhile, the DJIA has shed 0.26% to trade at 16501.50, while the NASDAQ futures are trading 0.44% lower at 3837.70. The concerns of global economic slowdown have dragged down the S&P from a high of 2014.50 hit in mid-September. Since then prices have been on a declining trend, as investors priced-in a possibility of an early interest rate hike in the US amid global economic slowdown. S&P futures Technical levels The S&P futures have an immediate support around 1880 levels, below which prices can fall to 1844 levels. On the upside, the day’s high of 1905.95 should act as a strong resistance level.

USD/JPY attempts a shy recovery early US session - FXStreet FXStreet (Łódź) - FXStreet Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik observes that USD/JPY has climbed a few pips above the 107.30 immediate support, but the attempts to recover are rather feeble. Key quotes "With no data to backup currencies’ movements, risk sentiment takes the lead, with easing concerns putting dollar under mild selling pressure." "The EUR/USD hourly chart shows price above a bullish 20 SMA but indicators turning lower above their midlines, as gains remain limited." "In the 4 hours chart price hovers around a flat 20 SMA as momentum continues to head south in negative territory, limiting chances of a firmer advance." "A firmer advance beyond 1.2700 may see the pair approaching 1.2745, while risk to the downside will increase on a break below 1.2660 support now."

Natural Gas gains, traders decrease bullish bets FXStreet (Mumbai) - Natural Gas prices are trading higher today despite of weather forecasts indicating a low probability of extreme weather conditions. Natural Gas is trading 0.61% higher at USD 3.883/mmbtu even as the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data released on Friday showed that hedge funds and money managers decreased their bullish bets in the week ending October 7. Net longs fell sharply to 6,288 contracts from 26,166 in the previous week. The latest weather models do hint at pockets of cooler weather across the U.S. in the coming days, although the temperatures are not expected to fall to freezing levels. Consequently, the heating demand for Natural Gas may not pick up much leading to a fall in price. Natural Gas Technical levels Natural Gas has an immediate resistance of 3.947 (Oct 8 high), while the immediate resistance is located at 3.81 levels.

Eurozone Industrial Production seen dropping 1.5% - ING FXStreet (Łódź) - Martin Van Vilet from ING expects August Eurozone Industrial Production numbers to drop further, about 1.5% on a monthly basis. Key quotes "The national industrial production figures released last week clearly confirmed that the industrial recovery across the Eurozone has lost significant momentum." "Industrial production (excluding construction) in Germany fell a significant 4.3% MoM in August – admittedly partly because of the timing of school holidays." "Industrial output in France, meanwhile, was unchanged, while Italian output rose by only 0.3%." "Production in Spain – which the IMF thinks will outpace Germany in 2015 (we are not so sure yet) – also rose by a modest 0.2%, and although production in the Netherlands saw a much stronger rise (+1.3%), this was solely due to a sharp rise in the erratic mining component." "Taken together, the national data point to a decline in Eurozone aggregate production, due tomorrow, of around 1.5% MoM. That would more than reverse the 1.0% MoM increase seen in July, and even with some rebound in September, it thus seems likely that the industrial sector acted as a drag on GDP in the third quarter." "If the PMI is anything to go by, the much larger services sector fared better and should have contributed positively to GDP growth." "So we doubt whether the overall Eurozone economy contracted in 3Q. Indeed, for the time being we have pencilled in Eurozone GDP growth of 0.1% QoQ in 3Q. Such growth, however, clearly is much too low for comfort." "Pressure on European policymakers to deploy further monetary and renewed fiscal stimulus, therefore, looks set to continue."

EUR/USD not there… yet FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The common currency is now looking to consolidate below the key 1.2700 handle, with EUR/USD gyrating around 1.2690/95. EUR/USD halfway to last week’s tops Spot remains well poised to challenge the key barrier at 1.2700. However, if the USD weakness persists in the upcoming sessions, the pair might try to re-test recent peaks near the 1.2800 handle. “The break of the support at 1.2640 coupled with the weak daily close last Friday suggests further downside pressure for today. Expect 1.2680 to cap for a retest of the strong support at 1.2600/05 but clear break below this level appears unlikely for now”, noted market analysts at UOB Group. EUR/USD levels to watch At the moment the pair is up 0.49% at 1.2693 with the next resistance at 1.2698 (high Oct.13) ahead of 1.2716 (high Oct.10) and then 1.2743 (21-d MA). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.2638 (200-h MA) would expose 1.2605 (low Oct.10) and finally 1.2583 (low Oct.7).

Morgan Stanley: USD remains relatively resilient - eFXnews FXStreet (Łódź) - The eFXnews team remark that Morgan Stanley sees the USD as very resilient in the light of the recent sharp drop in US yields. Key quotes "'Indeed, USD’s correction has been moderate, given the extent and pace of gains seen recently, and underlines the strength of the bullish trend, in our view. We would also suggest that this robust performance is a function of USD establishing itself as an asset currency, MS argues." "'As a result, we expect USD behavior to change, and this is likely to be most emphasized in its relationship with yields. Lower yields would not necessarily be seen as a USD negative in this scenario, as was the case with EUR in the past two years through to this May. Relative asset valuations are once again the driver of this change, favoring USD and attracting inflows,' MS clarifies." "'The post-FOMC reaction aside, the recent decline in US yields is likely a reflection of inflows and consistent with a higher USD. The fact that these flows are the result of relative fundamentals and not a geopolitical shock – portfolio allocation to the US rather than a safe-haven flow – also implies that these trends are likely to be sustainable, in our view,' MS adds." "'Hence, we think the medium-to-longer-term structural USD bullish trend is set to stay in place despite recent US yield developments,' MS adds." "In line with this view, MS maintains a short EUR/USD in its strategic portfolio from 1.2920 with a revised profit-stop at 1.2840 and a target at 1.20."

EUR/JPY key levels The cross is now losing 0.36% at 136.35 with the next support at 135.82 (low Sep.8) and then 135.73 (2014 low Aug.8).
