OctaFX_Farid Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Turkey’s Central Bank keeps key rates on hold FXStreet (Mumbai) - The central bank of Turkey (TCMB) kept key interest rates unchanged on Tuesday amid the volatile political situation in the country and persisting uncertainty. The monetary policy committee of the Turkish central bank decided on Tuesday to keep its one-week repo rate at 7.50% and the overnight borrowing rate at 7.25%, unchanged from July. The overnight lending rate was also kept at 10.75%, while the primary dealers' overnight borrowing rate remained at 10.25%. The central bank noted in its statement, "Loan growth continues at reasonable levels in response to the tight monetary policy stance and macro prudential measures. The favorable developments in the terms of trade and the moderate course of consumer loans contribute to the improvement in the current account balance," "External demand remains weak, while domestic demand contributes to growth moderately. The Committee assesses that the implementation of the announced structural reforms would contribute to the potential growth significantly." "Future monetary policy decisions will be conditional on the improvements in the inflation outlook. Inflation expectations, pricing behavior and other factors that affect inflation will be monitored closely and the cautious monetary policy stance will be maintained, by keeping a flat yield curve, until there is a significant improvement in the inflation outlook.” On Monday, Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said, ‘Interest rates need to fall’, reviving the earlier attempts of the Turkish government to influence the central bank.

OctaFX_Farid Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sell rallies in AUD/USD – Rabobank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank recommends selling the pair on occasional bullish attempts. Key Quotes “While the timing of last week’s plunge in the CNY took us by surprise, we have been calling for a weakening in the value of the CNY vs. the USD for some time as the Chinese authorities seek to more closely align the value of the currency to the forces of slow growth and disinflation”. “On the back of the move, we have revised up our forecasts for USD/CNY to 6.70 on a 12 mth view and, while we are forecasting that AUD/CNY could hold relative stable near current levels in the coming 12 months, this view is based on our assumption that AUD/USD will fall towards 0.69”. “Concerns over Chinese growth are being mixed concerns over a faltering economy recovery in Japan with a worsening growth outlook for Indonesia”. “Against this backdrop we still see scope for further RBA easing this cycle and look to sell AUD/USD into rallies. Initial resistance is likely to be provided by the 100 and 200 day smas near AUD/USD0.7370”. Aug 18,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

OctaFX_Farid Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 TRY poised for further declines – TDS FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Cristian Maggio, Head of EM Strategy at TD Securities, assessed today’s decision by the CBRT to keep the monetary stance unchanged. Key Quotes “My first impression is that the CBRT has fallen short of market expectations. This comes as a natural conclusion even just looking at the market reaction after the document was published. New USDTRY all time high at 2.8941. The pair is now trading just above 2.89 but, unless the CBRT puts some substance to these promises, the lira is unlikely to receive great support going forward. “I’m not quite sure if the goal is still stabilize the lira or just let it go weaker to help the economic rebalancing. Certainly the CBRT will have to consider the implications for the corporate sector that has large USD exposure via foreign debt. And the fact that Erdogan’s adviser Cemil praised the CBRT’s decision (‘brave’ and ‘appropriate’) shortly after the announcement today, leaves me with that bitter taste of something that doesn’t feel good but you don’t quite get what is wrong with it”. “For now, we stick to our negative opinion on rates and currency (we see USDTRY to 3.0 in the short term and higher towards 3.30/3.35 in the coming 10 months), on the backdrop of a messy political situation that sets almost certainly Turkey for early elections. Another 5 days to figure that out”. Aug 18,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USD/JPY is currently trading at 123.90, 0.1% above its opening price, having recovered from a 3-week low of 123.68 scored on Wednesday.

Key Quotes “Unless US Fed Vice Chairman Fischer shocks markets back to September we are beginning to shift towards trading as if lift-off could be December”. “That feels like a headwind against more USD strength next week, which used to not matter for USD/CNY but that was before the renminbi’s regime change”. “PBOC in its stabilization campaign also seems to be leaning a bit to the downside”. “Whether the Caixin/Markit manufacturing PMI # can sustain the recovery seen in its MNI counterpart, however, will be important as to whether PBOC can cement expectations”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 CNY expected to drop further – Danske Bank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Analysts at Danske Bank see the Chinese currency losing further ground in the next weeks. Key Quotes “The main implications of China’s new exchange-rate policy are that the link to the USD has weakened and the exchange rate has become more dependent on growth and monetary policy in China”. “In our view, China is not aiming for a major competitive devaluation. However, relative monetary policy between China and the US suggests that the CNY will continue to depreciate and we expect it to depreciate by close to 5% against USD in the next 12M”. “In the short run however, we expect the PBoC to keep the CNY in a tight grip ahead of the IMF’s decision on SDR this autumn. Hence, we only expect it to depreciate slightly on a 1M and 3M horizon”. Aug 21,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

OctaFX_Farid Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bears grip European markets, sell-off resumes FXStreet (Mumbai) - European indices resumed its downward spiral on Wednesday after the recovery seen yesterday, as the latest effort by the Chinese central banks seems to have failed to prop up the stock markets with the Shanghai composite index flipping back in to the red zone at close. Losses came after US stocks ended Tuesday's session sharply lower, failing to keep the rally following the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) action. The central bank cut the RRR by 50 basis points, and slashed both the deposit and lending rates by 25 basis points in response to the latest huge market sell-off. While some stocks in Asia rebounded on Wednesday, the Shanghai Composite index closed the session 1.3% lower, even after it had edged up for most part of trading hours. Markets also seem to have ignored the latest PBOC announcement that the central bank will inject 140 billion yuan into the financial system through a short-term liquidity adjustment operation. Germany's DAX 30 index drops -1.31% to 9995 while the UK benchmark FTSE 100 loses -1.45% to trade at 5993. Among the other indices, the French CAC 40 index is down nearly -1.50% and trades at 4497, and the pan-European Euro Stoxx 50 also slips -1.6% to 3,166.

OctaFX_Farid Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 EUR/USD: parity now unlikely by year-end – BTMU FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of GMR at BTMU, sees the possibility of the pair reaching the parity level by year end quite unlikely at the moment. Key Quotes “Our bearish EUR/USD view will have to be adjusted to take account of this financial market turmoil triggered by the renminbi devaluation. Extreme risk aversion has clearly resulted in a further liquidation of euro short speculative positions, surely partly versus the renminbi, and hence our current year-end forecast of parity looks difficult to achieve”. “However, the profile will still certainly remain for the euro to move lower. The relative monetary policy factor has weakened due to the financial market turmoil given the markets were close to positioned for a September rate increase but the deflationary shock stemming from the turmoil is more worrying for the ECB than it is for the Federal Reserve”.

The fact that the MACD hasn't been under zero for at least one week of trading, reinforces the argument that room for further EUR/USD depreciation is there.
