Economic growth in Euroland hurt by Russia - BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) -Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, underlines the problems for the euro zone economy stemming from the geopolitical situation in Russia-Ukraine. Key Quotes "National inflation data yesterday revealed an unchanged annual CPI rate of 0.8% and hence there’s a chance that the euro-zone flash estimate today also comes in unchanged at 0.4%. Some of the other country data declined however (Spain and Italy expected to today) and hence we might still get a modest decline to 0.3%." "To be honest though, the grim macro story and the comments from Draghi make this less important. With more sanctions also now on the way for Russia, the economic hit to the euro-zone is only going to get worse." "The latest evidence of that was the German retail sales report this morning. In contrast to the expected unchanged estimate, retail sales plunged 1.4% and clearly consumers as well as businesses in Germany are hurting." "GfK Consumer Confidence data on Wednesday from Germany revealed the largest drop in economic expectations since the 1980s. So the gravity of situation has gone a bit beyond whether we get a 0.3% or 0.4% print in the flash CPI estimate today."

EUR/USD uninspired by Eurozone CPI FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD received a slight boost and reached marginal new highs for the day after preliminary data showed Eurozone consumer inflation grew in line with expectations in August. Eurozone consumer price index rose 0.3% YoY in August, meeting expectations, while the core index grew 0.9% versus an increase of 0.8% forecasted by analysts. Today's release was attracting much attention ahead of ECB meeting next week, after Draghi signaled further easing measures at Jackson Hole. However, in-line-with expectations data doesn't really shed too much light on ECB's next move and will probably keep the euro under pressure heading into the decision. The EUR/USD climbed a few pips and hit a high of 1.3194 right after the release, extending a recovery from a low of 1.3159 scored at the beginning of the European session. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.3185, virtually unchanged on the day. EUR/USD technical levels As for technical levels, the EUR/USD could find next supports at 1.3152 (2014 low Aug 27), 1.3104 (Sep 6 2013 low) and 1.3100 (psychological level).

EUR/USD makes fresh daily lows FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD moved a step lower and printed fresh daily lows early New York session, weighed by renewed geopolitical tensions and solid US data. While US GDP and jobless claims beat expectations, recent data showed pending home sales dropped 2.7% in July versus a 3.5% fall expected. However, USD reaction has been subdued as investors' attention turns to tomorrow’s Eurozone inflation figures as according to sources, it could prompt the ECB to announce easing measures next week should they point to growing deflation pressures. At time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at 1.3168, recording a 0.18% loss on the day, having been rejected by the 1.3220 zone. EUR/USD technical outlook Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet notes that the EUR/USD shows increasing bearish potential. “A break below 1.3150 should see the pair extending its decline towards the 1.3100 price zone, albeit market is expected to remain on hold, ahead of tomorrow EZ inflation data, and next week Central Bank meeting”, said Bednarik. The analyst locates immediate support levels at 1.3150, 1.3120 and 1.3090, while she sees resistances at 1.3215, 1.3240 and 1.3280.

Further easing by ECB next week, a close call? – BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, says inflation figures in EMU and Germany could be relevant in next week's ECB meeting. Key Quotes "The euro has rebounded back above the 1.3200 level after Reuters yesterday quoted ECB sources as stating that there would be no monetary easing steps announced at next week’s policy meeting. With euro short positioning becoming more substantial, unsubstantiated stories of this kind can have the necessary impact on stabilising the currency." "In reality, if any decision is finely balanced, the flash estimates for August inflation from Germany today and the euro-zone tomorrow may well have a bearing on any decision taken next week. After ECB President Draghi’s comment at Jackson Hole that inflation expectations have become unanchored, the ECB will be sensitive to any further evidence of downside inflation risks worsening." "The German EU harmonised annual inflation rate is expected to come in unchanged at 0.8% in August – any undershoot will just serve to intensify speculation of easing next week. Both a small rate cut and/or the start of ABS QE are possibilities for next week and we would lean toward ABS QE as being the more likely of the two, simply because it is one of the measures that was announced in June, is already being worked on and looks like less of a panic move. Draghi believes in the June measures and therefore full implementation is the natural conclusion." "We should also perhaps be careful not to overplay the inflation expectations comments from Jackson Hole. It was very significant but how reliable are financial market indicators during the month of August, during holiday thin trading conditions? It would appear very rash for the ECB to undergo additional monetary easing based just on falling inflation expectations during August."

EUR, GBPNand the chance of a bounce - Societe Generale FXStreet (Barcelona) - Kit Juckes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale, sees the likelihood of a rebound in both GBP and the EUR. Key Quotes "The conditions, therefore, are ripe for a euro short-covering bounce. The speculative market is short; EUR/USD has been falling despite tightening peripheral spreads, and looks too low in the short-term on regressions of spreads and rate differentials." "Month-end FX reserve re-balancing is also a possible trigger for a bounce. Indeed, there's even talk of SNB euro buying at these levels of EUR/CHF." "And finally, as a potential catalyst, there's a chance of positive economic news from German unemployment and Euro area money supply today. All in all, reason enough to think a bounce is possible. Only a correction through 1.340 would break the current downtrend and excite technicians, and the more modest the bounce, the worse the technical outlook." "The lack of fresh news also opens up the possibility of GBP/USD bouncing a bit further today, with CBI distributive trends the only data of note. As observed yesterday, GBP weakness has been more about long positions being cut than shorts being built, and this too argues for a modest bounce."

United States EIA Crude Oil Stocks change registered at -2.07M, below expectations (1.1M) in August 22 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After a promising start of the session climbing to fresh weekly highs around 1.3220, the EUR/USD has rapidly deflated to test intraday lows near 1.3170 so far. In the view of Axel Rudolph, Senior Technical Analyst at Commerzbank, “EUR/USD has so far slipped to an August low at 1.3153 while en route to the 1.3105 September low and the psychological 1.3000 region. Today it is expected to recover, though”. In addition, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank Emmanuel Ng commented, “Note that the pair managed to regain its footing somewhat on Thursday on the back of wire reports indicating no further initiatives from the ECB next week but we expect sentiment to remain fragile in the intervening period with key event risks expected from German CPI numbers today and EZ CPI reading tomorrow. In the interim, we stay the course with a heavy EUR-USD stance with the next visible support expected at 1.3150 if the foothold at 1.3200 is lost”.

USD/CAD dips below 1.0900 FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD/CAD lost more than 100 pips over the last session after being rejected from the 1.1000 resistance area and amid month-end dollar selling flows. The loonie is among the best performers Wednesday, having briefly dropped below 1.0900 to hit an 8-day low of 1.0888 before finding support. The USD/CAD has managed to trim some of its recent losses and it is currently trading at the 1.0895 area, still 0.46% below its opening price. USD/CAD technical levels In terms of technical levels, a decisive break below 1.0888/81 (Aug 27 low/200-day SMA), could open the way toward 1.0862/59 (100-day SMA/Aug 15 low) and 1.0820 (Jul 25 high). On the other hand, resistances are seen at 1.1000 (Aug 26 high) and 1.1022 (61.8% Fibo of 1.1277-1.0619).

EUR/CHF hits fresh 20-month low FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/CHF pushed lower and broke below the 1.2070 support area to hit its lowest since December 2012 in recent dealings. The EUR/CHF has been under increasing pressure this month, having lost more than 100 pips so far, which is outstanding for a cross that moves very little ever since the SNB placed a floor back in September 2011. At time of writing, the EUR/CHF is trading at 1.2063, down 0.14% on the day, having printed a low of 1.2058 so far. “There has been talk the last several sessions that the SNB has placed bids at 1.2060 to provide a little cushion for the 1.20 CHF cap. Well that line in the sand looks like it is about to get its first test”, said Jamie Coleman, analyst at FXBeat. “Perhaps a small punt to the long side with a very tight stop and a modest t/p, say 1.2080/85 might be worthwhile. Don't expect much in the way of fireworks” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Aug 27, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates

Potential for JPY weakness in the medium term - BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, remarks the probability of further downside for the Japanese currency. Key Quotes "The period after the release of Q2 GDP data was always going to be the testing time in Japan on whether the next sales tax increase from 8% to 10%, due in October 2015, should be implemented. Etsuro Honda, advisor to PM Abe now says the increase is risky." "Earlier this year Honda stated that the second increase was possible if real GDP growth was over 3.0% in Q3. This debate could intensify over the coming months and any sense of a delay (rather than abandonment) would be equity supportive and yen negative."

US data supportive of the greenback - BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, observes the performance of the USD post-yesterday releases. Key Quotes "The negative momentum in EUR/USD specifically is also being fuelled on the dollar side with the data from the US yesterday solid once again. The durable goods orders report revealed a decent underlying picture once the noise of transport is stripped away." "The capital goods orders, ex-air and non-defense fell 0.5% in July but this was after a hefty upward revision to June to a gain of 5.4%. The 3-month average annualised rate has been over 11% for three consecutive months." "Shipments of capital goods are also running at impressive rates as well with the same 3-month average measure running at over 7% for three consecutive months. These underlying details suggest the scope for positive momentum in the capex side of the economy in H2 is notable." "Finally, consumer confidence defied expectations of a drop rising to 92.4, the highest since October 2007. The expectations component did drop but this was more than offset by the rise in the current conditions component. The jobs plentiful minus hard to get jumped to -12.4, the highest since May 2008." "The 10-year UST bond-German bund spread is now at 145bps and this historically has been a strong dollar buy signal. A widening spread to these levels was last in place way back in 1999, the early stages of a very strong dollar buying period."

EUR poised for further downside - BTMU FXStreet (Barcelona) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, sees the single currency heading towards lower levels. Key Quotes "The foreign exchange market is relatively quiet this morning with narrow trading ranges evident in most currency pairs. The S&P 500 closed above the 2,000 for the first time on record while 10-year US Treasury bond yields declined further." "It seems pretty clear that until there is something to question the building belief of further ECB easing, the euro is set to gradually grind lower. There are no real obvious events to question that growing belief perhaps through until the ECB monetary policy meeting next week and hence the negative sentiment is set to continue." "The data calendar is very quiet today but what has just come out is consistent with this growing belief of additional ECB monetary easing. The German import price data for July has just revealed the annual rate fell to -1.7% from -1.4% in June." "Admittedly through the ECB should become less concerned over the deflationary impetus from import prices given the movement of the euro. Remember, the ECB believes that for every 10% change in the EUR TWI there is an equivalent 0.4-0.5ppt change in the annual inflation rate." "The ECB Daily Nominal EER-20 index is currently down around 3.6% from its peak earlier this year – so the exchange rate is going in the right direction for alleviating the deflationary impetus through imported prices. Still, the TWI needs to move considerably more to have a meaningful impact."
