internationallove Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Monday, July 16: events to watch (2012-07-13) Monday, July 16: events to watch Japan: Bank holiday Euro area: CPI growth is to remain at 2.4% in June, while core CPI – at 1.6%. According to the ECB report, inflation rate will fall below the regulator’s 2% ceiling next year. US: Core retail sales are expected increase by 0.1% in June, what is much better than a 0.4% drop in May, but still points at the weakness of the US economy. Retail sales demonstrate the similar dynamics: 0.2% growth in June vs. a 0.2% decline in May. Weak figures will add to investor’s concerns about a new QE.

European inflation is likely to stagnate, while consumer confidence – to weaken. According to the latest comments of Angela Merkel, Germany hasn’t changed her position about the austerity measures for the problem European nations. However, Merkel said she is confident the majority of German members of parliament will support aid package for Spain’s ailing banking sector. The MSCI Asia Pacific added 0.3% as Asian shares rose. Japan’s financial markets are closed for a holiday. Safe currencies benefit from a risk aversion as markets are expecting more easing from the world’s major central banks.

kaito kid Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 ★★★ July 17: economic & forex news ★★★ Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - 06:08 Ben Bernanke is once again the hero of the market’s expectations: investors expect to hear his hints on further monetary easing as he testifies to Congress today. It’s obvious that US economic recovery really is stumbling: data released yesterday showed that retail sales fell for a third month in June, contracting by 0.5%. The Fed’s chief is speaking in front of the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee tomorrow. US dollar’s weakening versus the majority of its counterparts on the news. Also watch for US CPI data later today. Median forecast is that US CPI was unchanged last month from May when it declined by 0.3% (m/m). Annual inflation is seen sliding from 1.7% in May to 1.6% in June, below the Fed’s 2% medium-term target – another argument for more QE. EUR/USD trades on an upside for a third consecutive day ahead of the ZEW economic sentiment release. The release may show today that the index of German investor expectations slid to minus 20 this month (the lowest since January) from minus 16.9 in June. Moody’s rating agency downgraded 13 Italian banks tonight. The IMF has slightly lowered its outlook for global growth in latest report on the world economy. AUS/USD appreciates as the RBA meeting minutes released today made the new rate cuts less likely. The Australian policymakers reveal confidence in economy: national labor market looks stronger, China's economy wasn't slowing as much as previously anticipated and the overall mood in euro area seems to be better on the back of progress made by EU leaders late June. However, the euro zone’s debt woes still threaten the Australian economy. NZD/USD is up despite a CPI release (inflation in Q2 increased by 0.3%, what is below a forecasted 0.5% growth). The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) of shares advanced 0.6%. The overall market sentiment is positive ahead of Bernanke’s testimony: demand for USD and JPY vs. the other key currencies has dropped. USD/JPY strengthens after a three-day decline after touching the lowest since June 18 yesterday. According to Japan’s finance minister Jun Azumi, gains in the yen were “speculative” and officials will “take decisive action if needed.” http://www.fbs.com/analytics/2012-07-17/18309-july-17-economic-forex-news Work with FBS , be friends with FBS and be successful!

internationallove Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 July 18: economic & forex news (2012-07-18) July 18: economic & forex news There are 2 main blocs of data today: releases in the UK at 8:30 GMT (Claimant count change, MPC meeting minutes, unemployment rate) and in the US and Canada at 12:30 GMT (US building permits, housing starts and the Beige Book and BOC monetary policy report and press conference). The Beige Book survey of business conditions in 12 American districts is the most important publication as it will be closely studied for the signs of the deteriorating economic conditions in the US. The Fed’s Chairman Ben Bernanke will once again appear in front of US Congress later today. Investors generally think that US economy will need more easing. Analysts widely believe that QE3 will become more than likely in case of strong downside surprise to growth or the lingering softness in US labor market. Such attitude of the market is negative for the greenback. Demand for euro was limited before Germany’s lower-house lawmakers vote tomorrow on aid to recapitalize Spanish banks. Angela Merkel will likely get the majority needed to for this piece of legislation to pass successfully. EUR/USD briefly tested the levels above $1.2300, but didn’t manage to hold there. The Bank of Japan released minutes from its June 14-15 meeting. The policymakers agreed to monitor effect of asset-purchase program. Some of them warned that CPI main be flat longer than expected. USD/JPY is consolidating above 79 yen (H1). AUD/USD returned to July maximums around $1.0300 helped by better than expected Australia Westpac May leading index.

kaito kid Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 ★★★ 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!
