EUR/USD: waiting for the EU GDP The single currency has slowed its rally after having peaked at $1.3400 on Thursday. On Monday EUR/USD opened the week with a bearish gap and is now testing the levels below $1.3300. There is nothing strange about it as the pair has approached a strong resistance area at $1.3400/15 (June highs, 200-week MA) and then – at $1.3440/65 (100- and 55-month MAs). Current strength of the euro can be explained by the remaining uncertainty about the Fed’s QE tapering and by the positive euro zone’s macro trend. Questions about the US monetary policy are likely to stay the main EUR/USD factor for the next couple of months. Even if the euro zone issues brilliant statistics, US policy tightening news will push EUR/USD lower. Euro has room for strength as long as uncertainty in America persists. As for the euro zone, this week the market will be closely watching the block’s preliminary Q2 GDP. According to the consensus, the euro zone’s economy returned to growth for the first time since 2011 and expanded by 0.2% q/q (Q1: -0.2% q/q). Positive data could rapidly push the EUR/USD to the upside: no doubt that the end of the 6-quarter recession is a good sign. However, it is important to remember that growth is widely expected to stay very slow in the next months. The euro zone’s recovery is very vulnerable to all the external conditions. Near-term support is seen at $1.3280 (bottom of a July-August channel, 2013 resistance), $1.3230, $1.3200 and $1.3180. Slide below the last level could be a good selling opportunity. Chart.

USD may bottom soon The main question for the market players is whether the Federal Reserve will be the first major central bank to withdraw monetary stimulus. The Fed’s policymakers have hinted in recent weeks that the central bank could start to scale back its monthly bond buying in September, but this will depend on further improvement in the job market. On Friday, August 2, US Non-Farm disappointed investors (the number of employed rose by 162K vs. 184K expected). This was weighting on USD during the whole week as traders have doubts about the Fed’s resolve to start tapering QE. US unemployment claims fell to the lowest level since 2007. In addition, there were some signs of economic improvement in Europe and China. EUR/UD rose to $1.3400. On Thursday US dollar index slid to 7-week low below 81.00. Still, many analysts think that USD won’t decline much further. The Fed is expected to start reducing stimulus sooner or later. Next week the US will release some important data like retail sales on Tuesday, August 13. There will be also releases of inflation, industrial production, manufacturing activity, housing market and consumer sentiment. Good figures from America will change the market’s sentiment and make USD strengthen. Chart. Daily USD/CAD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

Demand for JPY is rising Japan is getting ready for Obon* holidays. Businesses in Japan shut down for a couple of weeks around the middle of August. Mizuho: “There are some expectations that investors will redeem, repatriate or convert earnings, whether they are dividends or coupons back into JPY before the Obon holidays.” As a result, demand for JPY from Japanese investors is expected to rise ahead of big capital inflows from interest payments on the country’s large US Treasury holdings. “It is the fear of the flow rather than the actual flow that is causing yen strength. What it is doing is that it is causing investors around the world to cut long USD/JPY positions,” adds the bank. *Obon or just Bon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one’s ancestors.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. BofA: bearish on EUR/USD According to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the US dollar is now forming a base, returning to a larger bullish trend. In their view, a daily close of EUR/USD below $1.3166 would confirm the top and a turn lower with targets at $1.2457 and below. A break above the trend line resistance at $1.3322 would return the pair into the consolidation phase. The bearish view would be invalidated only on a close above $1.3418. Chart.

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. USD/CHF: daily update USD/CHF fell last week to 1-month low at 0.9227. Then the greenback tried to recover and almost reached 0.9400, but then slid below 0.9300. The bulls and bears are struggling between 61.8% and 76.4% retracement of the advance from June to July at 0.9370 and 0.9280 respectively. Below the latter US currency will be vulnerable for a decline to 0.9205 and 0.9170 (trend line support from February). Stability below 0.9370 will keep the bearish possibility valid this week. Still US data released this week has so far been positive enough. ISM non-manufacturing index jumped from 52.2 to 56.0, while the nation’s trade deficit contracted. For now, however, this data had little impact on USD/CHF. Сhart. Daily USD/CHF Have a profitable trade with FBS!

Market Analytics:FBS Markets Inc. NZD/USD: bearish picture New Zealand dollar recovered its positions after the scandal caused by contaminated dairy product woes. On Monday NZD/USD opened the week with a bearish gap and tested a low at $0.7735, but has finally closed the gap, forming a strong green candle. On Tuesday the pair extended the upside to $0.7890, but was capped by the bottom of the strong bearish Ichimoku. Resistance for the pair is now seen at $0.7875, $0.7900 (50-day MA) and $0.7915, while support – at $0.7860/50, $0.7830 and $0.7800. The near-term prospects of the pair look bearish, but a rise above $0.7900 could improve the picture. The market attention is now focused on the New Zealand labor market data at 22:45 GMT. According to the consensus forecast, unemployment rate may increase to 6.3%, while employment – to rise by 0.3% q/q (prior: +1.7%). These data releases are a new downside risk for the pair: negative data will put the prospects of the NZ rate hikes into question. Chart. Daily NZD/USD Chart.
