"EUR/GBP: technical and fundamental "(2012-09-24) EUR/GBP: technical and fundamental EUR/GBP declined to 0.7965 (lowest level in two weeks and the 100-day MA) as demand for relatively safe British pound rose in conditions of risk aversion. The pair moves back to the downward channel created in May 2011. In a short term the single currency may get some lift if we get positive signals about the resolution of the euro crisis (Spain, Greece, banking union etc.). Resistance for the pair is seen at 0.8100/13 (September 14 maximum), 0.8135 (200-day MA) and then at 0.8160 (50% Fib. retracement of a 2007-2008 uptrend and June 2012 maximums). In a longer prospect, however, the euphoria will come to an end and the investors will remember about dead-locked euro zone’s fundamentals. Sooner or later the ECB will inject more cheap liquidity into the economy, while the Bank of England is likely to remain on hold. As a result, EUR/GBP is expected to continue the downtrend. We see the next support in the 0.7907/7883 area (50-day MA and September minimums), at 0.7811 (August minimum) and at 0.7755. Chart. Daily EUR/GBP Have a profitable trade with FBS!

"Gold is close to 2012 maximums"(2012-09-24) Gold is close to 2012 maximums On Friday spot gold reached $1,787.52, the highest level since February. Today gold eased down to the levels around $1,757 an ounce – the move seems like a technical correction. The majority of analysts expect the precious metal to gain more as the major central banks around the world ease their policy. UBS: The target for gold price is at $1,950 an ounce. We won’t be surprise if gold drops below $1,750, but those levels will surely attract new buyers. At the same time, note that gold has already added 11% this quarter. ANZ: Gold is close to the year’s high and market players may try to take profits. In addition, $1,800 looks like an obstacle. What’s your opinion?

"CFTC trader positioning data"(2012-09-24) CFTC trader positioning data Here are the essentials of the latest Commitments of Traders (COT) report, released on Friday, August 21, by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for a week ended August 18. It’s not surprising that the large speculators increased their total US dollar short position from $6.18 billion to $10.05 billion. EUR net shorts declined bringing the market’s sentiment to the best level since November 2011. With all the speculations about whether the single currency will be able to sustain gains and reach new summits or it’s doomed for the slide, it’s quite important to know where the market players stand. GBP switched from net shorts to longs, to the best positions since May. JPY net longs declined, CHF net shorts contracted. See more in the table below. t’s necessary to note that the figures cited above are always a week old at the time of their release. Never the less, CFTC data gives a good oversight into how the market is positioned and if/how these positions are being unwound. Although the CME speculators represent a small fraction of trading in the currency markets, their trades are widely seen as typical of hedge fund investors' currency movements.

"Dollar weakness won't help the euro"(2012-09-21) Dollar weakness won't help the euro In recent years in the periods of dollar weakness the central banks diversified their currency reserves out of the dollar into the euro. Most analysts expect a new period of a weak greenback: the Federal Reserve announced a new round of cheap liquidity injection on September 13. Will the single currency find support because of the QE3? Not really. According to most economists, the single currency seems to have lost the confidence of the reserve managers. The central banks are more likely to diversify their reserves into the G10 emerging currencies. Therefore, we don’t have to expect the single currency to benefit from the dollar’s strength this time.

Analysts: BOJ easing disappoints Photo: Frantisek Staud USD/JPY has slid back below the 79.00 mark after peaking 79.21 on the Bank of Japan’s easing (asset-purchasing program was expanded by 10 trillion yen today). At this moment the regulator’s efforts to weaken the yen don’t really look successful: the pair still remains below the 200-day MA and further gains are not likely. Most analysts are disappointed by today's BOJ actions. Nomura: The BOJ action was done in order to avoid market disappointment and immediate pressure from the Japanese policymakers. The easing surprised the markets (many investors expected the BOJ to ease in October), but was not impressive. The USD/JPY rally is a good selling opportunity for short term investors. BTMU: Following the recent FOMC decision the feeling was that waiting any longer could have triggered a lurch lower in USD/JPY. The decision today could well be followed up by further easing steps at the meeting in October. Ahead of the elections the regulator may ease more aggressively in order to fight deflation. ING: The BOJ easing is too small and too late: America and Europe will expand their monetary base at a more rapid rate than Japan. The BOJ doesn’t sound convincing: USD/JPY gains above 79.20 (today’s high) are limited. Japan will not be able to reach its 1% inflation target by the end of the fiscal year. Chart.

"September 19: forex news"(2012-09-19) September 19: forex news The risk appetite improved on Wednesday as the Bank of Japan realized investors’ expectations and added 10 trillion yen ($127 billion) to its 45 trillion-yen fund that buys assets including government debt. The BOJ decision is aimed at weakening the yen as the strong national currency damages exports. The easing was not fully priced by the markets. After the announcement USD/JPY rose to 79.10: the pair moves up for a fourth consecutive day after plummeting to 77.12 on the Fed’s QE3 announcement on September 13. EUR/USD rose to $1.3085 on the back of the BOJ easing after yesterday’s decline. Today watch for housing market data in the US.

What to wait from the BoJ?"(2012-09-18) What to wait from the BoJ? On Wednesday the Bank of Japan will announce its monetary policy decision. According to a Bloomberg survey, 5 of 21 economists predict the BOJ will ease policy tomorrow, while 16 are expecting a move by October. Easing expectations are mainly caused by the QE3, announced by the Fed last week: Japan’s monetary authorities are afraid the expensive yen may hurt the economy. Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities: A lack of additional monetary easing could risk a stronger yen. The Bank of Japan will probably increase its asset- purchase program by about 5 trillion yen ($64 billion). Nomura: The likelihood of monetary easing by the BoJ is gradually rising as the Fed embarked on its new QE and conflict with China adds further uncertainty to the economic outlook. However, no additional easing is expected this week, as USDJPY is trading favorably. Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ: We expect the BoJ to remain on hold tomorrow, although there is a high risk of further easing before year end with the Japanese economy losing upward momentum amidst weakening external demand.

" AUD/USD down after RBA minutes"(2012-09-18) AUD/USD down after RBA minutes AUD/USD is declining for a second consecutive day after peaking $1.0623 on Friday (highest since August 9). The pair has already slid to the $1.0420 area, the next support is seen at $1.0406 (50-day MA) and than at $1.0320 (200-day MA and September 11 minimum). The Aussie is under pressure today as the RBA meeting minutes showed the monetary authorities see the strong national currency as a threat to the economy and believe there is enough room for rate cuts. They have also mentioned the risks from China and from Europe. RBS: Central bank officials acknowledged risks from China and weaker commodity prices in particular and thus have a bias to cut, but did not show real urgency. Westpac: It seems unlikely that the Aussie can make substantial gains simply on the back of the Fed printing more money. Chart. Daily AUD/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

"EUR/USD: is the rally over?"(2012-09-18) EUR/USD: is the rally over? On Tuesday EUR/USD dropped back to the $1.3050 area from a new 4-month high at $1.3171, opened yesterday. The pair was pulled down by the German ZEW survey: the economic sentiment improved from -25.5 to -18.2 (consensus of -19.0), but it still remains deep in the negative territory. EMU's economic sentiment improved a lot, rising from -21.2 to -3.8 in September. Despite the fact that today the euro sentiment is negative, strategists at BMO Capital believe the single currency still has prospects for growth. They recommend buying EUR/USD on a pullback at $1.3025, setting a stop at $1.2925 and a target at $1.3325. Chart. Daily EUR/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

They recommend buying EUR/JPY at 101.75 with a stop at 99.75 and a target of 105.00. In their view, EUR/JPY is the best currency pair to take advantage of the euro-positive sentiment, boosted by the QE3 announcement. Specialists give a meaning to the tone of Bernanke’s speech on Thursday: the pledge of “unlimited” bond purchases is likely to support the markets for a long time. They also point at a decline in euro short positions (see CFTC data), what means the single currency will get a lift soon. What’s more, the Bank of Japan is likely to follow the Fed in policy easing in order to fight the expensive yen. As a result, the EUR/JPY cross has good prospects for growth. Chart.
