OctaFX_Farid Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Moody’s upgrades EU outlook from negative to stable, rating FXStreet (Córdoba) - FXStreet (Córdoba) - Moody’s Investor Service affirmed the highest rating (Aaa) for the European Union and upgraded the outlook from negative to stable, on the back of an improvement in the credit outlook of Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Spain and on diminishing risks from the Euro area debt crisis. Key Quotes: “The key drivers of today's outlook change are as follows:(1) The improvement in the creditworthiness of the EU's largest shareholders, which it depends on for additional support in high stress scenarios. (2) Diminishing risks emanating from the euro area debt crisis, which alleviates pressure on asset quality”. “The key drivers for today's affirmation of the EU's Aaa/(P)P-1 ratings are: 1) The joint and several liability of member states with regard to their obligations to the EU. 2) The EU's multi-layer debt-service protection. 3) The EU's conservative budget management”. “Risks to the creditworthiness of the EU and to its rating include a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the EU member states, as reflected in downgrades of Moody's ratings for these states. The EU's rating is particularly sensitive to changes in the ratings of the four countries rated Aaa or Aa1 that make large contributions to the EU budget (i.e., Germany, France, the UK and the Netherlands). A weakening of the commitment of the member states to the EU and changes to the EU's fiscal framework that would lead to less conservative budget management would also be credit negative”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Flash: USD/CAD retains the bullish bias - TD Securities FXStreet (Barcelona) - Shaun Osbourne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities, remarks the bullish outlook of the USD/CAD. Key Quotes "USDCAD remains trapped in a right range. Event risk is evident for the CAD this week as well—Governor Poloz speaks Tuesday at the Halifax Chamber of Commerce in NS and will hold a press conference afterwards." "On Friday, Canada releases key data—retail sales and CPI—which may go some way to shaking the CAD out of the consolidation range in place in the past few weeks—one way or the other. We favour s topside break out above 1.1130." "USDCAD retains a heavy bias so far today. The CAD is well-supported alongside the broadly firmer AUD and NZD, while safe-haves such as the JPY and CHF are under-performing.USDCAD is pressuring support in the mid 1.10 area and easing below the 40-day MA at 1.1072 in early trade today—though we don’t think the move is likely to extend too far at present." "We still rather think the underlying trend in funds is higher, supported by improving US fundamentals, Fed tapering and the less than dynamic growth backdrop in Canada which has encouraged a significant narrowing in spreads in the belly of the curve in the past few months, with US-Canada 5 year spreads tracking a little below flat again today helping support the USD arou8nd 1.1050/70."

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Flash: Japanese trade deficit could be reverted - BBH FXStreet (Barcelona) - Marc Chandler, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, expects February's trade balance in Japan to show improved figures. Key Quotes "Japan is likely to report a marked improvement in its February trade balance. The January trade shortfall was JPY2.79 trln." "It was likely distorted by seasonal factors and the Lunar New Year. The consensus for the February deficit is near JPY602 bln." "This probably understates the real size of the Japanese monthly trade deficit. The 12-month average is near JPY820 bln." "At the same time, a seasonal improvement in investment income suggests a trade deficit this size may not fuel a current account deficit. The streak of four consecutive monthly current account deficits may come to an end when the February balance is reported in early April."

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 GBP/USD dips below 1.6600 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling is quickly losing ground on Tuesday, pushing the GBP/USD to fresh intraday lows in sub-1.6600 levels. GBP/USD focus on Carney’s speech today A bout of selling orders is now dragging spot to the lower band of the weekly range near 1.6590, down from the mid-1.66s just moments ago. There are no data releases in the UK today, although Governor Carney’s speech in the European evening would grab traders’ attention. Ahead in the week, key labour market figures are due tomorrow (ILO u-rate at 7.2% exp.) followed by the BoE minutes (expected a non-event), and all ending with the FOMC gathering. “We suspect that the market will need to break back below 1.6532 (the 8 month uptrend) in order to re-focus attention on to the 1.6259/29 support zone which remains key (September high and the 23.6% retracement of the move up from July 2013)”, commented Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank. GBP/USD levels to watch The pair is now losing 0.23% at 1.6598 with the next support at 1.6587 (low Mar.14) followed by 1.6568 (low Mar.12) and then 1.6553 (50-d MA). On the flip side, a breakout of 1.6667 (high Mar.17) would open the door to 1.6719 (high Mar.13) and finally 1.6745 (high Mar.10).

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 EUR/USD got nervous due to sudden pound weakness FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/USD was trading close to session highs, but bounced back to 1.3910 area scared by the cable sell-off. Spill-over effect from the pound EUR/USD followed the move down after GBP/USD lost more than 50 pips in an hour. The prime seller of the pound is rumored to be a custody bank. The significant amount of the transaction means it is the move within some strategic frame, thus the sell-off interest may have spill-over effect on other European currencies, as happened with the euro already. By the time of writing, it reached 1.3907 low from 1.3937 session high posted in Asia. Nevertheless, the move down will be complicated by the noted buyers’ interest around 1.39 area, with more around 1.3885. What are today’s key EUR/USD levels? Today's central pivot point can be found at 1.3916, with support below at 1.3884, 1.3845 and 1.3813, with resistance above at 1.3955, 1.3987, and 1.4026. Hourly Moving Averages are bullish, with the 200SMA at 1.3869 and the daily 20EMA bullish at 1.3805. Hourly RSI is neutral at 56.

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Gold's falls below 1,350 after 3-day decline FXStreet (San Francisco) - The gold is extending declines from March 17 high of $1,394 as today the pair broke the 1,350 support to trade at lows since May 10 at 1,337.65. At this moment, the XAU/USD is pricing at 1,338.53, 1.45% negative in the day. "Gold extends its slide to a fresh 8 day low, breaking below its 20 SMA in the daily chart, and gaining bearish momentum in the mentioned time frame," comments Valeria Bednarik, FXStreet chief analyst. With the FED around the corner, "the metal will likely consolidate in the short term, yet a break below the daily low with the news should lead to a test of the 1,327 immediate support, while once below this last 1,318 comes next," Bednarik adds. Resistances for today, come at 1,354, and 1,367.

"In the 4 hours chart the bullish tone remains healthy, albeit a clear confirmation above 0.9130 is required to see a new leg up".

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 USD/JPY muted after US data FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD/JPY continues to consolidate in a slim range Thursday as investors digest the latest FOMC statement, unable to set a short-term direction with the latest string of US data having virtually no impact on the cross. The USD/JPY has spent the entire day consolidating the previous' day gains, trading within 102.20 and 102.55. At time of writing, the USD/JPY is trading at the 102.40 zone, virtually unchanged on the day. While US jobless claims came in better-than-expected, existing home sales unexpectedly fell in February while Philly Fed manufacturing index beat expectations. USD/JPY technical levels "USD/JPY gains had been modest compared to dollar European crosses, albeit the pair is far from even testing critical levels: contained below 102.60 Fibonacci resistance, the hourly chart shows indicators corrected most of the overbought readings and approach their midlines, while 200 SMA offers short term support currently around 102.10", said Valeria Bednarik, analyst at FXStreet. "In the 4 hours chart a mild bullish tone prevails, albeit unless a clear advance beyond mentioned resistance, the upside will likely remain limited".

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 USD and Yellen; Mind the gap - HSBC FXStreet (Guatemala) - Daragh Maher, FX Strategist at HSBC, explained the gap between end of QE and first rate hike is what counts. Key Quotes: “Tapering no longer captivates the market. We argued back in January that the key driver to the market would become the expected gap between the end of QE and the first rate hike”. “Yellen's suggestion last night that this gap might only be 6 months caught the market by surprise and provoked widespread USD buying. Unless the Fed back-tracks in future comments, this should provide further support for the USD”. “The chart below the expected gap between QE end and the first hike, based on Bloomberg surveys and Fed funds futures for when the policy rate should reach 0.50%. Three phases are worth noting”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 EUR/USD capped by 1.3800 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The key 1.3800 level still remains elusive for EUR bulls on Friday, with the EUR/USD gearing up at the 1.3790/95 area. EUR/USD lifted by risk appetite The pair is smiling again against a backdrop of better risk sentiment today. Spot is currently pushing to break above the 1.3800 handle, as the sedative effects from the FOMC statement are slowly dissipating. A wider EMU’s Current Account surplus during January would also be adding to the optimism. “While we cannot rule out that this week’s hawkish Fed messages could prove a turning point for EUR/USD, we do not think a massive sell-off will be seen from here in the near term”, noted Jens Pedersen, Analyst at Danske Bank. EUR/USD levels to watch The pair is now up 0.08% at 1.3789 with the next resistance at 1.3805 (Kijun Sen) ahead of 1.3811 (21-d MA) and then 1.3845 (high Mar.20). On the downside, a breach of 1.3749 (low Mar.20) would open the door to 1.3722 (50% of 1.3477-1.3967) and finally 1.3720 (low Mar.6).

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 USD/CAD bounces off 1.1220 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After bottoming out near 1.1220, the USD/CAD is now extending its rebound to the mid-1.12s ahead of the Canadian docket. USD/CAD eyes key data The pair is correcting lower from multi-year peaks around 1.1280, printed post-FOMC on Wednesday. Spot would be in the limelight during the European afternoon, as Canadian inflation figures during February (BoC 1.1% YoY exp.) and January’s retail sales are due (headline 0.7% exp.) ahead of key Fedspeak. “Our hunch is that the consensus is looking for today’s Fed speak to ‘soothe’ some of the fears instigated by Wednesday’s FOMC, so we’d be cautious about buying USDCAD 1.122-1.125 if the data are on the better side”, commented Stephen Gallo, European Head FX Strategy at BMO. USD/CAD levels to consider As of writing the pair is advancing 0.04% at 1.1251 with the next resistance at 1.1300 (psychological level) ahead of 1.1669 (61.8% of 1.3066-0.9407) and then 1.1680 (high Jul.10 2009). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.1122 (low Mar.19) would target 1.1045 (daily cloud top) and finally 1.1025 (low Mar.18).

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 EUR/USD consolidating around 1.3770 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency is now trying to consolidate after the post-PMI decline, with the EUR/USD now meandering around 1.3770/65. EUR/USD attention to ZEW With the manufacturing and services PMIs now in the rear mirror, market participants would turn their focus on tomorrow’s German ZEW Survey. Spot would remain under pressure however, as market consensus expects Business Climate and Expectations components to come in a tad lower for the current month, while Current Assessment would marginally improve. Martin van Vliet, Analyst at ING Bank NV, assessed “the further weakening in the Chinese PMI and the relatively strong euro do not bode well for export growth momentum going forward and with unemployment still elevated and fiscal policy still contractionary, a strong revival in domestic demand seems unlikely going forward. That said, the further signs of recovery will encourage the ECB in refraining from further monetary easing, at least in the short term”. EUR/USD significant levels The pair is now losing 0.15% at 1.3773 and a breach of 1.3749 (low Mar.20) would open the door to 1.3722 (50% of 1.3477-1.3967) and finally 1.3720 (low Mar.6). On the upside, the initial hurdle aligns at 1.3827 (high Mar.24) ahead of 1.3845 (high Mar.20) and then 1.3862 (10-d MA).

OctaFX_Farid Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 GBP/USD flirting with 1.6500 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After dipping to fresh lows near 1.6460, the GBP/USD managed to pick up pace is currently challenging the key barrier at 1.6500. GBP/USD decoupling from the EUR/USD The pair is now reverting the initial drop along with its European peer, recovering from a negative start and looking to regain 1.6500 the figure. In the view of Jane Foley, Senior Currency strategist at Rabobank, “the BoE currently looks set to hike rates before the Fed, ECB or the BoJ. For this reason, sterling could attract fresh buying interest in the coming months. While we expect a broad-based USD recovery to push cable lower by year-end, we expect EUR/GBP to push back towards the 0.81. Given that sterling longs have been cleared out in recent weeks, better UK economic data this week could lend the pound decent support”. GBP/USD levels to watch The pair is now up 0.04% at 1.6496 with the next resistance at 1.6520 (high Mar.21) ahead of 1.6550 (55-d MA) and finally 1.6570 (high Mar.20). On the downside, a break below 1.6453 (38.2% of 1.5854-1/6823) would open the door to 1.6425 (low Feb.12) and then 1.6392 (low Feb.11).

AUD/USD extends the rebound The pair is now retracing the deep pullback post-FOMC gathering on March 19th, coming up from the vicinity of 0.8990 despite today’s weaker than expected Chinese manufacturing PMI. “Concerns over China’s economy and financial system aren’t likely to be allayed for some weeks, with press reports indicating substantial tolerance of further corporate defaults and the squeeze on spec yuan longs not complete. We are thus still short AUD/USD though the broad range should remain intact at least early in the week: support at the 55 day moving average of 0.8946, resistance at the 200dma at 0.9139”, observed analysts at Westpac Global Strategy Group. AUD/USD key levels The pair is now advancing 0.40% at 0.9119 with the next resistance at 0.9138 (high Mar.19) and then 0.9139 (200-d MA). On the downside, a breach of 0.9032 (low Mar.21) would target 0.9000 (psychological level) en route to 0.8995 (low Mar.20).
