August 21-24: economic events Tuesday, August 21 Australia: The RBA will release monetary policy meeting minutes (1:30 GMT). The central bank may warn about the high level of Australian dollar which is close to 30-year highs. Few economists expect the RBA to intervene in order to contain Aussie’s advance. The central bank is more likely to cut interest rates if it finds the strong national currency is actively damaging Australian economy. For the moment, the RBA is signaling that it’s happy with interest rates where they are. Analysts at CMC Markets think that “traders will be looking for clues that the rate easing cycle is already over.” New Zealand: The RBNZ’s inflation expectations survey (3:00 GMT). Westpac says that “often an interest rate market mover, the 2-year number may fall from 2.4% to 2.2%, a headwind for swap rates and the New Zealand dollar.” Britain: Public sector net borrowing (8:30 GMT). After a large deficit in the June reading, the markets are predicting a surplus in July. This would be bullish for the pound. Japan: Trade balance (23:50 GMT). Trade deficit is expected to widen in July to 460 billion yen from 300 billion yen in June. Wednesday, August 22 Euro area: Luxembourg’s Prime Minister and the head of Euro Group Jean-Claude Juncker will will meet with Greece’s Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to discuss a 2-year extension of the indebted nation’s fiscal adjustment program. Canada: Retail sales (12:30 GMT) increased by 0.3% in May after 0.5% drop in April, while the core reading added 0.5% after sliding by 0.4%. According to the forecasts, retail sales may have gained 0.2% in June, while core sales – added 0.4%. US: Existing home sales (14:00 GMT). The annual adjusted reading fell from a revised 4.62 million in May to 4.37 million in June. An increase to 4.52 million is expected this time (July). The FOMC meeting minutes (18:00 GMT). Societe Generale claims that “the minutes will give additional hints on the FOMC stance”. Credit Suisse says that the possibility of the Fed announcing QE3 next month has declined to 50%. Thursday, August 23 China: HSBC flash manufacturing PMI (2:30 GMT). The index rose from 48.2 in June to 49.3 in July. This time August reading is released. A reading below 50.0 indicates industry’s contraction. Euro area: French, German and euro area’s PMIs. Rabobank underlines that “confidence indicators from the euro zone likely to receive the most attention this week as they provide a timely snapshot of sentiment across a range of sectors.” Saxo Bank expects that readings will be weak and the pressure on ECB President Mario Draghi to act will strengthen. Societe Generale, on the contrary, claims that “the euro area manufacturing PMI will post the first rise in 6 months, increasing to 45.0 in August, while the service sector index should increase to 48.6. Despite the improvement both indices remain well below the critical 50 level, which in turn should be consistent with another contraction in euro area GDP in Q3 in line with our current forecast.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to meet French President Francois Hollande. US: Unemployment claims (12:30 GMT) will likely come little changed around 365K. New home sales (14:00 GMT) may have risen from the lowest level in more than a year of 350K in June to 362K last month. Australia: The RBA Governor Stevens speaks (23:30 GMT). Deutsche Bank says that “the rhetoric from the RBA indicates a very high hurdle to moving policy from here. For now they appear quite comfortably on hold and this week’s communication will likely reinforce that.” Friday, August 24 Euro area: Greece’s Prime Minister Samaras meets Merkel in Berlin ahead of the return of the Troika (EU, IMF and ECB) to Athens in September. On Saturday Samaras will meet Francois Hollande. Britain: Revised GDP (8:30 GMT). The first revision of GDP is likely to show a better outcome than the preliminary pessimistic reading of a 0.7% contraction. Economic growth in Q2 is predicted to shrink by only 0.5% due to a smaller than estimated drop in construction activity and industrial production. US: Core durable goods orders (12:30 GMT). The indicator may have climbed by 0.5% after losing 1.4% in June. Recent market news from FBS Have a profitable trade with FBS! Work with FBS , be friends with FBS and be successful!

★★★ August 14-17: economic events ★★★ Tuesday, August 14 Euro area: • French preliminary GDP (5:30 GMT). The euro zone’s second largest economy surprised by growing in Q4 2011 (analysts expected contraction) and remained flat in Q1 2012. PMIs and other indicators point to a 0.1% q/q decline in Q2. • German preliminary GDP (6:00 GMT). Germany’s strong 0.5% q/q growth in Q1 saved the whole euro area from entering an official recession. However, the situation deteriorated in Q2: GDP growth is expected to drop to only 0.1% q/q. • Flash GDP (9:00 GMT). Economists expect the euro zone’s economy to contract by 0.2% q/q in Q2 after zero growth in Q1. Note that the estimates are likely to change once Germany and France release their figures. • German and euro zone ZEW economic sentiment (9:00 GMT). German indicator fell to -19.6 points in July, disappointing once again, and showing the growing pessimism in the German business community. In August specialists expect a very small recovery to -19.2. Meanwhile, the indicator for the entire euro zone is likely to improve from - 22.3 points in July to -19.1 in August. • Industrial production (9:00 GMT). Industrial output may have contracted by 0.4% m/m in June after an unexpected increase by 0.6% m/m in May. Great Britain: • CPI (8:30 GMT). The key inflation index is expected to have increased by 2.3% y/y in July – CPI’s growth rate is slowing down from 2.8% in May and 2.4% in June. US: • Retail sales (12:30 GMT). Retail sales probably rose in July for the first time in four months as employment picked up. The important gauge of consumer spending is expected to rise by 0.4% m/m in July following a 0.5% m/m decline in June. Core retail sales are to rise by 0.4% after a 0.4% m/m decline in the previous month. However, according to HSBC economists, consumer spending growth remains subdued as consumers are still trying to rebuild savings. • PPI (12:30 GMT). According to consensus, the PPI index may have added by 0.3% m/m in July following a 0.1% growth in June.   Wednesday, August 15 Britain: • Unemployment claims from Claimant Count (8:30 GMT). Jobless claims may have increased by 6.3K in July after adding 6.1K in June. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 8.1%. Such forecasts show that UK labor market is likely to stay weak. • MPC meeting minutes (8:30 GMT). The odds are that the MPC’s decision to leave monetary policy unchanged in August (the key interest rate at 0.5% and QE at 375 billion pounds) was unanimous. As the central bank slashed forecasts for domestic economy last week, analysts think that there’s additional stimulus on the horizon. US: • CPI (12:30 GMT). According to projections, CPI inflation picked up by 0.2% m/m in July from 0% m/m in June, but should stay at the 1.7% y/y level. Core figures are seen unchanged at 0.2%. The small monthly increase won’t be considered as an argument against further easing from the Fed. Thursday, August 16 Britain: • Retail sales (8:30 GMT). Analysts don’t expect retail sales to cheer up the market: the reading will likely be low in July (+0.1% m/m), the same as in June. Euro area: • CPI (9:00 GMT). Inflation is forecasted to stay at 2.4% y/y in July, same as the 2.4% y/y reading in June. US: • Housing starts (12:30 GMT). The index may have remained at 760K last month. The indicator was slightly growth since the second half of 2011, but remains far below the levels seen in 2007-2008. • Building permits (12:30 GMT). The index is seen slightly up at 770K in July vs. 760K in June. The dynamics of the indicator has been much similar to the one of the housing starts. • Unemployment claims (12:30 GMT). Jobless claims may have increased from 361K to 365K. • Philly Fed Manufacturing Index (14:00 GMT). The index is seen below zero for the fourth consecutive month at -4.3 in August from -12.9 in July. This would be an improvement, though negative reading means that US manufacturing sector is still weakening. New Zealand: • PPI Input (22:45 GMT). The index growth rate slid from 0.5% in Q1 q/q to 0.3% in Q2, analysts say. Friday, August 17 Euro area: • German PPI (6:00 GMT). Producer prices were worse than expected for 3 months in a row. The prices fell in the past 2 months. Specialists forecast a rise of 0.4% m/m in July. • Current account (8:00 GMT). We saw 3 consecutive months of surpluses with a record 10.9 billion euro surplus in May. June will probably see a lower, but still positive figure of 7.8 billion. Canada: • CPI (12:30 GMT). Both CPI and core CPI are predicted to rise by 0.2% m/m in July, confirming that the previous 0.4% m/m drop was an exception. US: • Preliminary UoM consumer sentiment (13:55 GMT). US consumer confidence continued declining: it dropped to 72.3 points in July from 73.5 in the previous month. A tiny increase to 72.5 is expected in August.

August 7-10: economic events Tuesday, August 7 Australia: According to the consensus forecast, the RBA will keep rates unchanged at 3.5% after cutting the borrowing costs in May and June and staying on hold in July. Australian headline inflation was at 1.2% in June, at the lowest annual level in 13 years. The RBA’s preferred measure of inflation, which abstracts from volatile price movements, grew by 2% in June (y/y), which is at the bottom of the Reserve Bank’s inflation target of between 2-3%. Although the RBA has room to cut rates, it seems that the central bank may wait to see how the things elsewhere in the world are going. The nation’s Treasurer Wayne Swan said Australia's “rock solid economic fundamentals” were in stark contrast to conditions in Europe and elsewhere. Switzerland: The unemployment rate fell from 3.2% in April to 2.9% in May an June. In July the figure is expected to remain unchanged. The SNB’s foreign currency reserves have been rising so far and rose to CHF 364 billion in June – now July data is due for release. Swiss CPI fell by 0.3% in June and analysts expect a sharper decline of 0.5% in July. Deflationary figures indicate a slowdown in economic activity. Euro area: Italian GDP may have contracted by 0.7% in Q2 (q/q) after declining by 0.8% in the first 3 months of the year. This would be the forth quarterly decline in a row. Britain: Manufacturing production may have contracted by 3.9% after adding 1.2% in May, surviving the biggest decline since March 2009. Also watch the NIESR GDP estimate which attempts to estimate the quarterly GDP release on a monthly basis. The previous reading was a weak -0.2%. The markets will be hoping for a July reading in positive territory. US: Another speech of Bernanke. This time the Chairman will dwell on the need of financial education in the wake of the recent financial crisis. The audience will be allowed to ask questions. Canada: Ivey PMI fell from 60.5 in May to 49.0 in June. An improvement to 51.7 is predicted in July. Building permits, on the contrary, may have dropped by 3.5% in June after rising by 7.4% in the previous month. Japan: According to the forecasts, Japanese current account increased from 0.28T yen in May to 0.75T in June. Note however, that for 2 last times actual data came far below the predictions. Wednesday, August 8 Switzerland: SECO consumer climate index, released every 3 months, been moving upwards in the last 3 releases. This time economists are looking forward to another gain in July to -4 points from the previous reading of -8. Britain: The Bank of England will release Inflation report which may contain clues for the next moves of the central bank. The BoE will likely lower its current growth forecast as there were enough disappointing data since the report was last time released in May. Lower forecasts increase the likelihood of the BoE’s announcing additional asset purchases in September, though the current round of stimulus finishes only in November. The Bank is expected to predict almost zero growth for the economy in 2012, while just 3 months ago it was forecasting growth of around 0.7%. New Zealand: The nation’s unemployment rate may have declined from 6.7% in Q1 to 6.5% in Q2. Thursday, August 9 Australia: Australian labor market may have added 10.3K jobs in July after the unexpected contraction of 27K in June, while the unemployment rate may edge up from 5.2% to 5.3%. China: Analysts predict CPI to continue its declining trend and even hit a 30-month low of below 2%. Low inflation is welcome news to government officials looking to enact additional stimulus measures in the face of slowing growth. The recent PMI figures have pointed to evidence that recent efforts by the Chinese authorities to reinvigorate growth have at least managed to stabilize the economy, though a return to trend growth still seems elusive. Markets expect retail data to show that sales increased by 13.6% y/y in July, down slightly from 13.7% growth in June. Industrial output likely expanded by 9.8%, up from 9.5% in June. Fixed asset investment levels – a key component of China's economic expansion over the past decade – are expected to have edged up to 20.6% growth ytd/y from 20.4% at the end of June. Japan: The Bank of Japan is expected to keep monetary policy steady but may escalate its warnings over slowing global demand and renewed gains in yen, signaling its readiness to ease again if the economy’s recovery comes under threat. Deflation remains one of the main concerns of Japanese monetary authorities and there’s scope for future stimulus. US: American trade deficit probably shrank in June as cheaper oil reduced the import bill and slower global growth led to reduced demand for American-made goods. According to the consensus forecast, the gap probably narrowed to $47.5 billion, the 4-month minimum, from $48.7 billion in May. Weekly jobless benefit claims are expected to edge up to 371K from 365K in the previous week. Friday, August 10 Australia: The RBA releases its quarterly monetary policy statement. In the February the central bank reduced near-term forecasts for both economic growth and inflation. Then in May the RBA not only reduced near-term economic growth forecasts but also reduced the forecasts at the bottom of its indicative range for growth through to the end of 2013. At the same time, the RBA trimmed inflation forecasts to the end of 2012. This time, the RBA may lift the near-term economic growth estimate but it is likely to retain the medium-term view that economic growth will be around “normal” levels of 3.0-3.25%. Little change is expected in the inflation forecasts with the Reserve Bank projecting that inflation will hold in the 2.0-3.0% target band. In short, the Reserve Bank will leave the door open to further rate cuts over 2012. China: Trade surplus may have expanded from $31.7B in June to $35.1B in July. Britain: PPI Input index has been well below the zero line since April. However, the markets are forecasting a much stronger July reading, with an estimate of a 1.3% gain. Canada: According to the economists, the number of employed people rose by 10.2K in July, while the unemployment rate rose last month to 7.3% from 7.2% in June. Have a profitable trade with FBS!

August 6: forex news Monday, August 6, 2012 - 06:28 EUR/USD is trading about 60 pips below 1-month maximum around $1.2440. Spanish 10-year yields closed on Friday right below the critical 7% mark, while Italian ones closed at 6.08%. Demand for the euro was limited before data tomorrow may show that Germany’s factory orders and Italy’s industrial production fell in June. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) of shares gained 1.8%, snapping a three-day drop: markets still expect central bankers to stimulate economic growth. Demand for safe currencies, therefore, declined: Japanese yen and US dollar touched the lowest in more than three weeks against the euro. However, risky currencies’ growth is limited and “safe havens” have already started going up ahead of important events scheduled this week. USD/JPY remains flat, demonstrating a decline today. Risky currencies carefully weaken after Friday’s rally on US NFP release: AUD/USD trades around $1.0560, slightly below a four-month high, while NZD/USD slipped from a three-month high and trades below $0.8200. USD/CAD trades on its lowest level in three month, hovering right above parity. Events to watch today: Euro area: Sentix investor confidence (8:30 GMT) is expected to decline from -29.6 in July to -30.8 in August. The indicator is in the negative zone since the second half of 2011. US: You must have missing Bernanke with all the talk about the ECB, haven’t you? Well, we’re going to hear the news about the Fed’s Chairman anyway as he will speak in a prerecorded video about economic measurement before the 32nd General Conference of the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth. Bernanke may add some comments about the central bank’s decision to add monetary stimulus last week, but will probably say he’s still worried about the state of American economy.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) of stocks advanced 0.4%, capping four days of decline.

The release is especially important ahead of the CPI release on Wednesday. Euro area: Consumer confidence. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News predict that an index of household sentiment in the euro region was probably unchanged this month from June at minus 19.8, remaining close to 3-year minimum. Tuesday, July 24 China: HSBC flash manufacturing PMI. In June the index came at 48.2, its lowest reading in 7 months. Euro area: PMIs.

Wednesday, July 25 Australia: Consumer prices probably grew 1.3% in Q2 y/y, what would match the slowest annual pace since June 1999. Germany: Ifo Business Climate might paint a brighter picture of current business conditions, but it is likely to show that companies are losing confidence in the future. UK: - Preliminary GDP (Q2). The figures are expected to confirm the fears that the UK is still in recession: British economy may have fallen by 0.2% (q/q). This would be the third successive quarterly fall, and would mean that GDP is lower now than it was in the third quarter of 2010, and 3.9% below its pre-recession peak. - CBI Industrial Order Expectations. The index improved in June coming better than expected. If this data are confirmed, hopes will rise that the UK will recover in Q3.

Annual inflation is holding at the lower end of the RBNZ's annual target band of 1-3%, increasing the chances that the bank will keep the cash rate at a record low 2.50 % level until summer 2013. The rate was last lowered in March 2011. Thursday, July 26 Euro area: Private loans. The ECB data may show that bank lending to the private sector is stagnating.

★★★ July 19: economic & forex news ★★★ Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 06:20 The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) of shares added 1.5% yesterday. JPY rose against all but one of its 16 major peers amid concern no progress will be reached on the euro zone’s crisis, what will increase demand for a safe Japanese currency. USD weakens against the high-yielding currencies such as AUD, NZD and CAD. Mild weakness in the U.S. has been positive for risky currencies as the stimulus becomes more and more likely. Demand for risky assets was also supported as volatility for major currencies slid to the lowest since November 2007. GBP/USD strengthens on Thursday. Yesterday the pound dropped after the minutes of the BoE meeting this month showed the decision to keep its interest rate at a record low 0.5% was unanimous, while 7 members voted in favor of expanding the QE by a further 50 billion pounds. Although US dollar is broadly weakening, the single currency is even weaker. EUR/USD seems unable to overcome resistance at $1.2300. German lawmakers vote on a 100-billion euro bailout for Spanish banks (12:00 GMT). Angela Merkel will likely get the majority needed to for this piece of legislation to pass successfully. The sole euro-related data release is the publication of the region’s current account (08:00 GMT). The market’s attention will focus, though, on French and Spanish debt auctions (8:50-9:50 GMT). Euro is trading at record minimums vs. Aussie and kiwi and at more than 20-year minimums against loonie. In the US, as usual on Thursdays, watch for the jobless claims figures (12:30 GMT). In addition, there are 2 more important releases: existing home sales and Philly Fed manufacturing index (14:00 GMT). The Fed’s Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers on Wednesday that it was "certainly possible" that the central bank could take new steps to support the economic recovery if the situation at the labor market doesn’t improve. http://www.fbs.com/a...omic-forex-news Work with FBS , be friends with FBS and be successful!
