OctaFX_Farid Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 ECB Financial Stability Review: Eurozone banks seen strengthening, but risks remain FXStreet (Łódź) - In the ECB Financial Stability Review, released on Wednesday, the central bank said that the Eurozone economic recovery is expected to remain uneven and continue at a slow pace. Sentiment could be undermined by political tensions in Ukraine and a possible growth slowdown in China, the report stated. It was stressed however that the advancing preparations for the banking union in the euro area and the financial institutions' efforts to strengthen their balance sheets have reduced stress in the banking sector considerably. Furthermore, the intensification of the search for yields has been beneficial for Eurozone banks and Member States so far. The three main risks for financial stability in the Eurozone during the next 18 months, listed in the report include an “abrupt reversal of the global search for yield, amid pockets of illiquidity and likely asset price misalignments,” a “continuing weak bank profitability and balance sheet stress in a low inflation and low growth environment,” as well as “re-emergence of sovereign debt sustainability concerns, stemming from insufficient common backstops, stalling policy reforms, and a prolonged period of low nominal growth.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page May 28, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctaFX_Farid Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 GBP/USD: recovery falters FXStreet (Córdoba) - The recovery of the GBP/USD from 1-month lows proved to be short-lived after the Cable stalled at 1.6757 during the European session.

OctaFX_Farid Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 EUR/USD edging higher, eyes on 1.3620 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency looks to put further distance from the key support at 1.3600 on Friday, taking the EUR/USD to test the upper band around 1.3615/20. EUR/USD indifferent after data The pair has practically paid no attention to today’s mixed results from the German retail sales and lower than expected consumer prices in Italy, managing to keep the trade above the 1.3600 handle so far. However, the heavy trade is set to prevail, as the ECB meeting is closer. “Recent euro weakness in advance of next week’s ECB policy meeting highlights that monetary easing expectations have likely already been discounted. For euro weakness to accelerate after next week’s meeting, it would likely require the ECB to either adopt some form of asset purchases or indicate that they are becoming a more realistic policy option in the near-term”, suggested the research team at BTMU. EUR/USD key levels At the moment the pair is up 0.08% at 1.3614 and a break above 1.3638 (high May 28) would open the door to 1.3644 (200-d MA) and finally 1.3655 (Tenkan Sen). On the downside, the immediate support aligns at 1.3586 (low May 29) followed by 1.3585 (low Feb.13) and then 1.3563 (low Feb.12).

OctaFX_Farid Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 EUR/USD: recovery capped by 200-day SMA FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD saw a short-lived spike to fresh daily highs at the beginning of the American session but lacked follow-through and surrendered gains. The dollar also managed to temper losses after the US Chicago PMI came in better-than-expected in May. The PMI rose to 65.5 rather than the expected fall to 61.0 from 63.0 points scored in April. The EUR/USD reached 2-day high of 1.3638 but was halted by the 200-day SMA. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.3620, still up 0.15% on the day. However, the euro is set to end the week little changed and the month with a 1.7% loss, pressured by perspectives the ECB might ease its policy further when it meets on Jun 5th. The ECB meeting is not the only major event next week. The Eurozone will release CPI figures and the US will publish the nonfarm payrolls report. EUR/USD technical levels In terms of technical levels, if the EUR/USD breaks decisively above 1.3638 (200-day SMA), next resistances could be found at 1.3668 (May 27 high) and 1.3700 (psychological level). On the other hand, supports are seen at 1.3585 (May 29 low), 1.3561 (feb 12 low) and 1.3520 (Fibo 38.2% of 1.2757/1.3993).

Further data showed TD Securities Inflation generally in line with expectations (2.9% YoY, 0.3% MoM) although the release had no incidence on the pair. “The key question is whether domestic data can save the Aussie dollar from sliding iron ore prices. .. But 0.9200/10 remains very strong support, having held since March. And if the RBA’s language on Tue is little changed and Q1 GDP is near our expectations (3.2% y/y), the Aussie probably won’t test that key support. Broad range still 0.92-0.94, albeit with most action likely to be in the lower half of the range near term”, observed the research team at Westpac Global Strategy Group. AUD/USD levels to watch As of writing the pair is losing 0.57% at 0.9258 with the next support at 0.9210 (low May 29) ahead of 0.9208 (low May 21) and then 0.9179 (200-d MA).

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Session Recap: Euro weighed by PMIs FXStreet (Córdoba) - It was a lively session for the Euro amid Eurozone PMIs releases as investors await the ECB meeting Thursday.

The EUR/USD remains vulnerable near recent lows ahead of teh European Central Bank policy meeting Thursday. Consensus is now calling for cuts of the 3 main rates.

Elsewhere, majors had a quiet session. The GBP/USD was steady around 1.6750 while the USD/JPY steadied around 102.00 after rising during Asian hours.

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 EUR shorts increased last week - Societe Generale FXStreet (Barcelona) - Kit Juckes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale, noted the increase in EUR short positions, according to the last CFTC report. Key Quotes "CFTC positioning data for last Tuesday show that EUR shorts increased. They are back to levels which preceded the Euro bottoming-out after the last ECB rate cut in November, though relative to a longer-term history the short position is small." "A 10-bp cut in both Refi and Deposit rates is universally expected this week, and the market is merrily muttering about what more the ECB can do. The result is that we may see a lack of trend for the next few days." "SG Economists are looking for a targeted LTRO, an end to SMP sterilisation, and a EUR 300bn asset purchase programme, targeted at the private sector. That would amount to a slightly more aggressive package than the market is priced for." "This would be risk-friendly, helping peripheral and financial sector debt and equity, rather than moving EUR/USD very far, though we remain seller of the Euro vs PLN, TRY, GBP and NOK and a short-covering rally in EUR/USD, would be a chance to sell. In the meantime, we watch peripheral European PMIs this morning and preliminary German CPI data for May. On which note, so far, a soft Saxony figure."

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 USD/CAD likely to consolidate either side of 1.1000 - Scotiabank FXStreet (Córdoba) - Camilla Sutton, analyst at Scotiabank commented that the BoC is likely to reiterate its neutral stance next Wednesday, which would support a range bound environment for USD/CAD either side of 1.1000. Key Quotes “BoC is likely to reiterate its neutral stance, emphasizing that interest rates are on hold for an extended period. Friday’s Q1 GDP was disappointing, with soft exports and business investment suggesting that the anticipated shift in the economy continues to prove elusive. However with headline inflation at 2% it will be hard for the BoC to signal anything dovish”. “The market is pricing in a balanced outlook for interest rates, with no probability of a hike or cut priced in. For CAD this is likely to support a somewhat range bound environment; with USD/CAD either side of 1.10”. “USD/CAD short‐term technicals: mixed—and range bound warns that for near‐term traders there is better risk/reward elsewhere. Support lies at the recent low of 1.0814 while resistance lies at the recent high of 1.0942”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 BoC keeps interest rate steady at 1% in May FXStreet (Łódź) - As widely expected, the Bank of Canada decided to maintain its target for the overnight rate unchanged at 1% at its May monetary policy meeting. The Bank Rate remained correspondingly at 1.25% and the deposit rate at 0.75%. In a statement released after the decision was made known, the BoC said that inflation rose towards the 2% target earlier than projected in the April Monetary Policy Report. The central bank noted the weakness of global growth in the first quarter of the year, adding that Canada grew “at a modest rate” due to “severe weather and supply constraints.” Finally the BoC commented that “weighing recent higher inflation readings against slightly increased risks to economic growth leaves the downside risks to the inflation outlook as important as before,” while “the risks associated with household imbalances remain elevated” and therefore the current stance of monetary policy is appropriate.
