OctaFX_Farid Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Welcome to ECB day, expect a rate cut - Societe Generale FXStreet (London) - Kit Juckes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale is expecting a rate cut at todays ECB meet. Key Quotes "Welcome to ECB day. We expect a rate cut (Refi to 0.1%, Deposit Facility to -0.1%) liquidity injection (end of SMP sterilisation and targeted LTRO) and a modest (Eur 300bn) private sector asset buying programme." "This is more aggressive than our understanding of the consensus view. Rate cuts are fully priced in, but there is no widespread agreement about liquidity measures." "Markets are however, pricing in the possibility that the ECB President delivers a risk-friendly message successfully. The reaction to failure to cut rates at all would be bigger than even the announcement a large-scale asset purchase programme (EUR 1trn plus)."

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 It is still all about the Fed – Rabobank FXStreet (Guatemala) - Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank suggested that the ECB’s went further than expected yesterday with its list of monetary policy measures. However, by the close of the European trading session yesterday EUR/USD had already given back all of its post announcement losses. Key Quotes: “It seems that after years of extraordinary policy measures from various central banks the market has become sceptical as to their potential impact”. “Huge volumes of QE by the Fed, the BoJ and the BoE have been successful at stoking stock markets gains and in many countries house prices inflation also”. “However, slow growth and elevated levels of unemployment are still widespread across the developed world. The ECB’s new TLTRO may appear to be a reasonable concept to push cheap lending out to SMEs in the most stressed regions of the Eurozone”. “However, it is not clear to what extent banks will want to lend into this very risky sector particularly in an environment in which they are paying back existing LTRO borrowing. All these scepticism sits on top of the fact that the dovish warnings of ECB President Draghi in the May meeting had convinced investors to take short EUR positions.” “The ECB over the past few weeks has thus managed to engineer only a “buy of the rumours, sell on the fact” pattern for the EUR; it seems that the ECB’s ability to set the EUR into a new downtrend is still limited. Going forward there is reason to suspect that downside potential in EUR/USD could be evasive until USD bulls re-emerge in force”. “Although there are signs that US growth is picking up after a horrible winter, economic data are not sufficiently strong to draw the bulls back to the market”. “Adding to the torpor of the dollar is the perception that it would take a rocket to move the Fed from its present course of monetary policy. While the Fed is gradually reducing the size of its monthly assets purchases, it has persuaded the market that rates will remain at their all time long for a prolonged period. We expect that the Fed funds rate will not be raised until the very end of 2015 at the earliest and afterwards that the pace of tightening will be slow”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 AUD/USD back to the start again FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD> is trading at 0.9326, down -0.14% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.9360 and low at 0.9319. AUD/USD is back into Asia levels where FX ranges were vey narrow as traders awaited the events in the US session in the jobs data. The US non-farm payrolls rose by 217k in May, very close to consensus. Still, this is a bit of a relief, according to Teunis Brosens, analyst at ING Bank NV, as earlier indicators this week on balance pointed towards some downward risk. “This is the fourth month in a row with job growth above 200k. This includes the winter bounce back, however. Average job growth over the past 6 months is 192k, which is a continuation of the trend growth seen since early 2011. A major hallmark today is that the total number of jobs finally rose above the pre-crisis peak of 138.4m jobs reached in January 2008”…. "In total, this is a solid report showing the continuing gradual improvement of the US labour market”. However, he added that there simply is no evidence of wage inflation yet. “Consequently, we see little likelihood that the Fed will deviate from their established $10bn per meeting taper pace at the upcoming FOMC-meeting (18-19 June)”. AUD/USD next week In respect of the week ahead for Australian, strategists at TD Securities noted the following highlights: “May Business Confidence and Conditions will be keenly watched to gauge whether sentiment has shifted significantly following the Federal Budget and after last week’s poor Building Approvals data, Apr Home loan data takes on more importance, both data releases out on Tues. Westpac Consumer Confidence for Jun is out on Wed followed by the May Jobs report on Thurs”. AUD/USD Levels Spot is presently trading at 0.9327, and next resistance can be seen at 0.9332 (Hourly 20 EMA), 0.9340 (Weekly High), 0.9341 (Daily Open), 0.9348 (Yesterday's High) and 0.9357 (Weekly Classic R1). Next support to the downside can be found at 0.9319 (Daily Low), 0.9315 (Daily Classic PP), 0.9288 (Daily 20 SMA), 0.9284 (Weekly Classic PP) and 0.9283 (Hourly 100 SMA).

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 EUR/JPY remains capped on the upside, 140 remains key FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/JPY is trading at 139.82, down -0.05% on the day, having posted a daily high at 140.00 and low at 139.38. EUR/JPY has recovered from below the half way mark on the handle but offers are protecting ground much beyond 139.80 on the bid. Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank noted that the market’s correction higher has so far stalled at 140. “The near term move higher will make little impact on our negative bias while capped by 141.00 and the 2014 downtrend at 141.93. We look for it to struggle above 140”. EUR/JPY is about ECB and EUR/USD ranges Jim Reid , analyst at Deutsche Bank A explained that the ECB has bought itself some time and seems to be ready to wait for quite a while, possibly next year, for the next step. In terms of the performance of the euro, and taking into consideration of the implications for the EUR/JPY cross, Strategists at the bank explained that conditions are still set in place for a range-bound EUR/USD over the summer months but are worried near term about a potential squeeze higher, particularly given the currency’s propensity to rise after every ECB meeting over the last 12 months and real rates suggesting fair value closer to 1.38. Meanwhile, analyst at Rabobank said to expect EUR/USD to remain mostly confined in the 1.36 to 1.38 area on a 3 mth view and edge down towards the 1.35 area by the end of the year. EUR/JPY Levels Spot is presently trading at 139.83, and next resistance can be seen at 139.90 (Weekly High), (Daily Open), 140.00 (Daily High), 140.02 (Yesterday's High) and 140.12 (Weekly Classic R2). Support below can be found at 139.71 (Hourly 20 EMA), 139.56 (Hourly 100 SMA), 139.55 (Daily 20 SMA), 139.53 (Daily Classic PP) and 139.44 (Weekly Classic R1).

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Have a good weekend, it’s been a dull one – Societe Generale FXStreet (Guatemala) - Kit Jukes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale bids us a good weekend at the end of the week. Key Quotes: “My parting thought for the weekend after a 'meh' NFP that points to a better Q2 for the US economy than Q1, an uptrend in wage growth so gradual it makes a tortoise look energetic, and a pace of hours worked which is barely keeping up with GDP". "The US economy can generate enough jobs to keep the unemployment rate going down, but not enough to worry the Fed. The result is a a very risk-friendly environment as investors are forced to look for some kind of return, somewhere else. Mexico's response, taking the opportunity to cut rates by 50bp as money flows into their bond market, sums it up which entertained me, it shows the standard deviation of the last 24 monthly payroll changes, over the last 50-something year. Not only are we at less than half the average, but we are at an all-time low. Never has the first Friday of the month been so dull! And it's going to get even worse next month, when the first Friday is July the 4th”. “So, have a quiet one...” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page June 06, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 EUR/USD to regain recent uptrend? – ANZ FXStreet (Guatemala) - Tim Riddell, Head of Global Markets Research, explained the recent slippage below 1.3775 in EUR/USD has increased the possibility that a medium-term cycle has completed on the virtual test of 1.4000. Key Quotes: “This does not necessarily mean a collapse, but more likely a corrective pullback over coming months”. “Although a distinct wedge-like pattern has been broken, confirmation of the potential pullbacks towards 1.3250 (or even 1.3015) would only be gained on a weekly close below 1.3475”. “As noted, the expected profile is one of corrective pullbacks and so it is highly likely that there will be periods of sharp squeezes to threaten - but fail - to regain the recent uptrend”.

OctaFX_Farid Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Euro wakes up from lethargic range – FXStreet FXStreet (Barcelona) - FXStreet Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik suggests that even though the European calendar is light today, earlier remarks from Angela Merkel on the fragility of the recovery in the area and ECB policymakers' comments on the easing measures caused the euro to wake up from its lethargic range, breaking lower and reaching 1.3556. Key quotes “Nevertheless, the technical picture shows an increase in the bearish potential, with indicators finally detaching from their midlines and accelerating south, while the slide extends below moving averages. ” “Pressuring daily lows, immediate short term support stands in the 1.3520/30 price zone, followed by 1.3476, this year low. Large stops should lay under it and if triggered, the selloff will likely extend over the upcoming days.” “To the upside now, 1.3600 figure stands as immediate resistance, with a break above it pointing for a recovery up to 1.3640 price zone, albeit hardly seen at this point.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page June 10, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctaFX_Farid Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 USD/CAD deflates from highs FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The USD-rally is now losing vigour, dragging the USD/CAD to test the critical 1.0900 handle after hitting session tops near 1.0920. USD/CAD capped by 1.0960 Spot continues to correct lower from recent peaks around 1.0960 bolstered by better risk sentiment, although the greenback seems to be recovering from recent pullbacks. “We still view the broader trend here as positive, however, and still prefer to look for opportunities to buy USDs. USDCAD has struggled to push back through the 40-day MA in the past few weeks so an extension through the low 1.09s and a firm close is a basic pre-requisite for a more positive, short-term view of the market”, observed Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities. USD/CAD levels to consider As of writing the pair is up 0.01% with the next hurdle at 1.0.962 (high Jun.5) ahead of 1.1001 (21-w MA) and finally 1.1007 (high May 2). On the downside, a break below 1.0875 (low Jun.9) would expose 1.0814 (low May 8) and then 1.0762 (low Jan.8).

"The crisis we face today is the need to make sure the economy is expanding fast enough to support a growing middle class." Lew urged employers to give long-term unemployed a fair chance. Furthermore, he stressed the need for an increase in infrastructure spending and for an overhaul of the tax code.
