Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. AUD/USD: bears in charge AUD/USD kept declining. Today the pair’s testing 3-month lows below $1.0250. If this level is breached, the pair will fall to $1.0150 (our target). China is a regular buyer of Aussie, but as Chinese markets are closed for the Lunar New Year holiday, AUD is vulnerable for the sell-off. In addition, the 5.1 earthquake in North Korea worsened the market’s sentiment. JPMorgan Chase thinks that AUD/USD will find some support at $1.0225. In their view, the area from $1.0255 to $1.0225 contains 38.2% Fibo retracement of the 2012 advance and 76.4% Fibo of advance from $1.0150. Roy Morgan survey of more than 2,000 firms showed that Australian business confidence rose last month to the maximum since April 2011. NAB business confidence was also positive. There’s also some convergence at H4 that may allow some upward correction, though the move can hardly be big. Watch for consumer sentiment data tonight. There will be some support at $1.02351 and $1.0200. Resistance lies at $1.0300, $1.0345 and $1.0380 (200-day MA). The outlook will remain bearish until Aussie’s trading below the latter. Chart.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. EUR/USD: news from the battlefield EUR/USD is consolidating in the $1.3415/3380 range. As of writing, euro is trading at $1.3390. Yesterday Mario Draghi’s unexpectedly dovish comments pulled the euro down more than by 200 pips. EUR/USD is reentering the $1.3400/3250 support area. The pair slipped below 50% Fibonacci retracement from the 2011-2012 drop ($1.3490). Euro is holding above the 50-month EMA ($1.3380) and 200-week EMA ($1.3350). A weekly close below $1.3400 would be a sign for a deeper correction. However, the medium-term uptrend remains intact at least above $1.3250. We will remain bullish in a medium-term and recommend using any pullbacks as buying opportunities. Support: $1.3380, $1.3350, $1.3300, $1.3270, $1.3250 Resistance: $1.3415, $1.3480, $1.3500 Chart.

Mario Draghi said that monetary policy will remain soft as economic fundamentals in Q4 and early 2013 are weak. Recovery is expected to start in the second half of the year. Nothing new for the euro, but Draghi’s comments pulled the currency down by 200 pips. Today there are no important releases in the euro zone. Watch the headlines from the second day of the EU economic summit. USD/JPY slipped to 0.9330. The yen is trading sideways after having tested a three-year high of 94.05. Japan posted a bigger-than-expected current account deficit. AUD/USD tested the levels below $1.0260 earlier in the day after the dovish RBA monetary statement. Regulator reduced its economic growth and inflation forecasts as investment outside the mining industry remains low, the labor market is weak and a high currency contains prices. Aussie rebounded a bit on bigger-than-expected Chinese January trade surplus (+29.2B vs. exp. 24.3B, prev. 31.6B). The pair stopped ahead of the $1.0300 resistance.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. ECB statement and press conference • Inflationary pressures remain contained, what gives ECB to keep policy accommodative. Inflation is expected to fall below 2.0% in the coming months. • Euro zone’s economy is expected to remain weak in Q4 and early 2013 because of the subdued demand. Later in 2013 a gradual recovery should start. Market sentiment is improving. LTRO repayments reflect improved confidence. • Economy remains fragile: ECB lending survey confirms heightened credit risks in Q4. • Appreciation of the euro is a sign of returning confidence, but the ECB is not targeting the exchange rate. ECB will monitor the situation and remain accommodative. Have a profitable trade with FBS! If you have any questions to our analysts, you're welcome to ask them in comments to this article!

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. Feb. 7: Asian session EUR/USD is consolidating at $1.3515. Yesterday euro closed at this level after a 60-pips drop. Today the euro zone’s agenda is full. The main risk events of the day are the ECB meeting (12:45 GMT) and the press conference (13:30 GMT). Monetary policy is expected to remain on hold, but Mario Draghi’s comments may impact the euro. Watch also the French 10-year bond auction. Germany will release industrial production figures at 11:00 GMT. A 2-day EU economic summit starts in Brussels. USD/JPY drifted lower from the high above 94.00 yen visited yesterday and is trading above support of 93.20. Yen rose as declining Asian stocks spurred haven demand. Australian employment data came better than expected. Not good enough, though, to cause a significant lift of Aussie. Australia’s unemployment rate stayed at 5.4% (vs. forecast of 5.5%), while the number of jobs increased by 10.4K (vs. forecast of 5.5K). Employers cut 9.8K of full- time positions in Jan. AUD/USD is consolidating in the $1.0330/00. NZD/USD closed below $0.8400 yesterday and today touched $0.8350. New Zealand’s labor market figures were also far from impressing. The number of employed contracted by 1.0% in Q4. GBP/USD is holding at $1.5660, slightly above the recent 6-month low of $1.5630. Today is a big day for the sterling: Marc Carney takes over Mervin King as a new BoE Governor. Watch the Carney’s speech at 9:45 GMT and the BoE policy decision at 12:00 GMT. Earlier in the day pay attention to the British manufacturing production and trade balance data at 9:00 GMT (forecasts –positive). USD/CAD bounced from the 200-day MA and trades at 0.9960.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. EUR/USD: insights about the ECB meeting Market players will be paying great attention to tomorrow’s ECB meeting. Its results will be announced at 12:00 GMT. The central bank’s press conference will follow the announcement starting at 13:30 GMT. The ECB is expected to keep interest rates at 0.75% despite euro’s increase to the maximal levels since late 2011. According to Reuters’ poll of leading analysts, the possibility of a rate cut on Thursday is only 12%. Conditions in the euro zone are normalizing and euro zone’s data last month were mostly encouraging. Moreover, European banks repaid 137 billion euro ($184.3 billion) of LTROs to the ECB in Jan. It means that Europe possesses a smooth mechanism of exit from non-standard stimulus measures, the one US and Japan doesn’t have: there’s no need to stop some super measures, the bank just repay what they’ve borrowed and that’s all. Yet, the ECB’s chief may give some dovish comments emphasizing that the ECB is far from tightening its policy. The journalists will also likely question Draghi about Italian banking scandal (the world’s oldest bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena got mixed up with loss-making derivatives and the ECB let this happen). The scandal shows that it would be extremely difficult for the ECB to create a euro zone-wide banking supervisory body. All in all, the meeting won’t derail euro’s uptrend.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. AUD/USD at new 2013 lows AUD/USD is trading more than 70 pips below the opening price. The pair breached 200-day MA ($1.0380) and then support of Dec. low ($1.0345) and descended to $1.0300. This level may provide some support as Aussie’s decline has been too rapid. If will be very important where Aussie closes the day – if AUS/USD manages to return above $1.0345 (this level has turned into resistance) the bulls won’t have everything lost. The close below these levels, however, will make us target Sept. and Oct. 2012 lows around $1.0150. There will be some support at $1.0250 (top of the weekly Ichimoku Cloud). Bearish bias will be eliminated only if the pair rises above $1.0380 and better $1.0400. This week is full with Australian data and tomorrow comes a very important piece – labor market figures. This is a potentially big market mover. Unemployment rate is expected to rise from 5.4% to 5.5% in Jan. According to the forecasts, the number of employed will add 5.8K after contracting by 5.5K in Dec. We think that one should look for opportunities to join bearish market and go short on the pullbacks up later today. Chart. Daily AUD/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. Deutsche Bank expects risk-off weeks According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, the markets entered a few weeks of a mild risk-off trade. They also remind us that January has always been a risk-on month. Analysts think political tensions in Spain and Italy are causing uncertainty on whether the euro will continue the rally or not. These events remind the traders of how fragile the stability in euro zone is. Failures of the pro-austerity politicians Rajoy and Monti would raise the heat in the region and pressure the currency.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. GBP/USD: all about the BoE and more Last week GBP/USD attempted to rebound, but didn’t manage to reach to $1.5900. As a result, pound was rejected down to $1.5680 – this support managed to stop the decline for the second time. UK construction PMI disappointed the markets this week. Services PMI, however, unexpectedly jumped to 51.5 (vs. 49.8 expected) and concerns about the triple-dip recession eased. The most important day this week is Thursday, Feb. 7, when the Bank of England meets. According to consensus, the regulator will keep its policy unchanged (asset purchases at 375B, benchmark rate at 0.50%) (12:00 GMT). BoE policymakers seem to think that QE has lost its impact, so their approach now is rather passive. The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee will be based on new forecasts which will become available to public at Governor Mervyn King’s news conference on Feb. 13. Earlier on Thursday Mark Carney, who will head the BoE in June, will appear before UK parliament (09:45 GMT) to discuss topics including monetary policy and financial stability. British lawmakers plan to ask Carney whether the existing policy framework is the right one for the UK. Carney has mentioned so far that nominal GDP targeting could be an even “more powerful tool” to stimulate economies (now the BoE targets inflation). Any comments about inflation target will attract the market’s attention. There’s a risk that could be changed opening the door to looser monetary policy – GBP-negative scenario.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. Feb. 5: European session EUR/USD is consolidating around $1.3520. Euro rebounded from a daily low of $1.3460 and touched $1.3550 (50- and 100-hour EMAs) after the euro zone data releases. Spain’s services PMI has slightly calmed the markets down: the index overcame the forecast and improved from 44.3 to 47.0. In contrast, Italian services PMI contracted from 45.6 to 43.9. Final euro zone services PMI came slightly above the forecast at 48.6. Euro zone retail sales dropped by 0.8% (forecast: -0.5%, prev.: -0.1%). French Prime Minister Hollande said to the European parliament that the worst of the crisis has passed. According to Hollande, euro’s exchange rate is too volatile, vulnerable to ‘irrational’ swings. “We cannot let the euro fluctuate as the markets feel like,” said French PM.
