<div> </div>

<div>The specialists claim that, on the one hand, pound is attractive in comparison with the single currency and the greenback due to the debt problems of the euro area and the United States, but on the other hand, it may be affected by the effects of another round of quantitative easing by the Bank of England.</div>

"BMO: BOJ intervention scenarios"(2011-09-07)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analysts at BMO Capital Markets note that despite the fact that yen has been seen as a safe haven, the pair USD/JPY has stayed above 76.50 during the entire August except drop to the record minimum of 75.94 on August 19.

 

The specialists think that the reason why US dollar has been able to consolidate is the clandestine intervention of Japan’s monetary authorities.

 

The strategists see 3 possible scenarios of further BOJ actions and give the following trading recommendations:

 

- If this covert policy ends under the new Japanese government, sell USD/JPY.

 

- If this covert policy continues, sell Japanese yen and buy Swiss francs.

 

- If the BOJ begins an overt policy to buy US dollars like in 2004, buy USD/JPY.

 

The specialists believe that Japan will be forced to step in the forex market openly, so the third so they are looking forward to the realization of the third scenario.

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technical analysts at Mizuho Corporate Bank believe that the greenback’s longer-term downtrend versus Japanese yen will resume.

 

The specialists underline that triangle consolidation in May and June led to the decline of USD/JPY and think that so will do another triangle formed in August. In addition, all elements of the weekly Ichimoku Cloud give bearish signals.

 

According to the bank, the pair is poised down to 74.50 and 73.50.

"Unicredit: euro zone needs more austerity"(2011-09-08)

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analysts at Unicredit say that the current euro zone crisis will force European leaders to ponder over whether the single currency is worth keeping. In their view, the debt problems are the test for the currency bloc.

 

The specialists think that the indebted nations have to conduct more sizeable budget cuts in order to free up more resources. In particular, Unicredit claims that Italy has more potential to bring down its budget deficit by putting more assets on the market for privatization.

 

According to the bank, the policymakers have to show more visionary and strong approach. The economists underline that it’s not up to the European Central Bank to support the problem nations by buying their sovereign debt.

"UBS lowered Switzerland’s growth forecast"(2011-09-08)

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analysts at UBS lowered Switzerland’s economic growth forecast from 2.7% to 2% in 2011 and from 2.2% to 1.3% in 2012.

 

The reason of the downward revision is strong Swiss franc that is affecting the nation’s exports.

 

The specialists note that all in all they remain optimistic due to Switzerland’s advantages: sound private household finances and firm public sector.

 

According to the bank, the Swiss national bank will keep conducting loose monetary policy at least until the end of 2012.

"Bernanke and Obama speak"(2011-09-09)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bernanke

 

Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke claimed yesterday that quick deficit reduction may affect US economic recovery and said that the central bank will regard the possible measures to spur growth and hiring at its meeting on September 20-21.

 

Earlier in Jackson Hole Bernanke outlined the tools that the Fed may use. They are quantitative easing and lengthening the duration of securities in its $1.65 trillion Treasury portfolio. Analysts at Barclays Capital believe that this month the Fed will decide to resort to the latter.

 

The Fed’s head said that Obama and Congress should improve the federal government’s finances in the longer term but be careful not to hurt the economy by the fiscal consolidation in the short term. Bernanke didn’t comment on how the American authorities may reach that goal.

 

Obama

 

Another important speech is the one of US President. Barack Obama proposed to Congress the plan to stimulate job’s growth that would inject $447 billion into the economy (nearly 3% of GDP) through infrastructure spending by cutting in half the payroll taxes paid by workers and small-business owners and by providing subsidies to local governments to stem teacher layoffs.

 

Analysts at Capital Economics note that if Obama’s bill passes the Congress it would certainly influence 2012 GDP growth, which they currently expect to be only 2%. Economists at Goldman Sachs think that if enacted in its entirety, this proposal could shift the fiscal impulse in 2012 from -1.1% of GDP to +0.4% of GDP. However, the specialists have serious doubts that the congressmen will manage to agree on any of the multitude of different measures the bill includes.

"G7 may be against Japan’s intervention"(2011-09-09)

 

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japanese new finance minister Jun Azumi promised to tell his Group of Seven counterparts that Japan is ready to act vigorously in currency markets when necessary.

 

Yesterday G7 released statement that the officials of the world’s leading developed countries will “closely consult” each other on currencies. Rintaro Tamaki, Japan’s former vice finance minister who currently occupies the post of deputy secretary-general of OECD, thinks that it means that Japanese intervention has to be done in agreement with the G-7 as opposed to unilaterally.

 

As a result, the specialist claims that Japan may face opposition to further yen sales after acting on its own twice in the past year. Tamaki underlined that one of G7 key principals is that the markets should determine foreign-exchange levels.

 

Japan’s economy is affected by stronger yen: in the second quarter the nation’s GDP fell by 2.1% in comparison with the previous year level.

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The greenback advanced versus Swiss franc getting above the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the decline since December 2011 at 0.8567.

 

Technical analysts at Commerzbank say that US currency may climb higher, to the 200-day MA at 0.8858 where traders may take profits.

 

The specialists claim that resistance for the pair USD/CHF is situated at 0.8850/0.8920 (double Fibonacci retracement and March 2011 minimum), 0.9158 (the 55-week MA) and 0.9340/0.9400 (March 2011 maximums and double Fibonacci retracement). According to the bank, support levels lie at 0.8520/0.8365 (23.6% and 38.2% retracements of US dollar’s September growth).

"UBS: time to buy GBP/USD"(2011-09-09)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

British pound fell versus its US counterpart from yesterday’s maximum at $1.6084 to 2-month minimums at $1.5915/20.

 

However, analysts at UBS think that sterling won’t stay below $1.6000 for long and note that the current levels represent good buying opportunities for GBP/USD. In addition, the bank says that EUR/GBP advance above 0.90 doesn’t seem sustainable and recommends investors to sell the pair.

 

In the current circumstances when the central banks all over the world are keeping loose policy the specialists expect the Bank of England won’t do more stimulus during the next 1-2 months as it will be watching inflation. That, according to UBS, will likely provide pound with significant support.

"Ichimoku. Weekly forecast. GBP/USD"(2011-09-12)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weekly GBP/USD

 

Last week British pound survived rather strong decline versus the greenback – the pair GBP/USD opened below the Turning line (2) and fell to the rising Ichimoku Cloud (3) losing about 270 pips. Today sterling has opened already inside Kumo.

 

At the same time, the situation doesn’t look totally bearish: the short-term Tenkan-sen is directed horizontally, the longer-term Kijun-sen (1) is also going sideways. The Lagging Chinkou Span (4) has breached the price chart, though the signal is weak as at the moment of the intersection the price was found below Kumo. The lines of the Cloud are horizontal slightly deviating up.

 

As a result, it’s possible to assume that the prices won’t drop to the lower border of the Cloud, but found support in the area of the previous minimum at $1.5780 hit on July 12.

Chart. Weekly GBP/USD

 

Daily GBP/USD

 

On the daily chart the picture seems to be more bearish – the trend has turned negative.

 

Both Tenkan-sen (2) and Kijun-sen (1) raced down keeping the “dead cross” in place. The Ichimoku Cloud (3) has turned downwards and keeps widening as the short-term Senkou Span A went sharply down, while the longer-term Senkou Span B is moving sideways.

 

The lines of the indicator will now provide only resistance for the pair. Pound may get support only from July low at $1.5780.

"Ichimoku. Weekly forecast. USD/JPY"(2011-09-12)

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weekly USD/JPY

 

Once again we have to note that the situation on the weekly USD/JPY chart remains almost the same. The prices keep consolidating between 76 and 78 yen. High demand for yen keeps contrasting with the risk of the Bank of Japan’s interventions.

 

The greenback still lacks support, while resistance is provided by the declining Tenkan-sen and the horizontal Kijun-sen (1) as well as by the descending Ichimoku Cloud (3). The Turning line (2) and the Standard line (1) form the strong “dead cross” (5).

Daily USD/JPY

 

Last Tuesday US dollar has managed to overcome the Turning line (2) that provided US currency with resistance till the end of the week. Today, however, the pair USD/JPY has broken through the Turning line (2).

 

The Standard line went sharply down (1). Senkou Span B (3) remains horizontal, while the other border of Kumo – Senkou Span A – has reversed down widening the range of the bearish Ichimoku Cloud (4).

 

Before another correction the prices will likely dip to the record minimums.

Weekly USD/CHF

 

On the weekly chart the pair USD/CHF has made a very powerful breakthrough rising above resistance of the Turning line (1) and the Standard line (2) and gaining more than 950 pips. The matter is that franc has weakened after Switzerland’s central bank has pegged the national currency to euro.

 

Tenkan-sen (1) reversed up aiming to cross Kijun-sen (2) and form the “golden cross”. The bearish Ichimoku Cloud is narrowing as Senkou Span “A” began growing (4). Resistance for the pair is currently provided only by Kumo.

Daily USD/CHF

 

On the daily chart the trend has finally switched upwards.

 

The prices rebounded from Kijun-sen (1), broke though Tenkan-sen (2) and easily went up through the Ichimoku Cloud. The bullish Cloud itself is rising. The Turning line (2) and the Standard line (1) are pointed up.

 

The outlook for the pair seems to be optimistic. The pair USD/CHF can make some pulls back down, but all in all the pair is likely to keep advancing. The lines of the Indicator will now act as support.

"Market’s pricing in potential Greek default"(2011-09-12)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The single has slumped versus the greenback and Japanese yen on the talk that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is preparing for Greek default.

 

The pair EUR/JPY hit the lowest level since 2001 at 103.88 yen. The pair EUR/USD dropped to the minimum since February 16 at $1.3498.

 

According to 3 coalition officials, German government is discussing how to support the nation’s banks in case Greece doesn’t fulfill the requirements of the aid package and won’t get the next tranche of bailout payment. Merkel is also meeting European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso today to discuss the possible solutions of the euro zone’s debt crisis.

 

Greek deficit targets are 17.1 billion euro for 2011 and 14.9 billion euro for 2012. Yesterday the country’s authorities decided to reduce one month’s wages for all elected officials and impose an annual charge on all property for 2 years.

"Commerzbank: EUR/JPY will fall to 100 yen"(2011-09-12)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technical analysts at Commerzbank note that the single currency has broken below the uptrend line from 2010 to 2011 at 107.41, 2011 low at 106.20 and 2010 minimum at 105.44 and hit 10-year low at 103.88.

 

The specialists think that EUR/JPY’s decline may continue until the pair drops to the levels in the 100.00 area. In their view, resistance for euro is situated at the previous minimums in the 105.44/106.20 zone.

"Bearish forecasts for EUR/USD"(2011-09-12)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Bank of Canada: euro has breached the “bearish triangle” getting under $1.4364 and dropped below the uptrend line from June 2010 at $1.3989. According to the specialists, EUR/USD is now poised down to the minimal level since January 17 at $1.3246.

 

Commerzbank: the single currency closed last week below major support levels of the 2010-2011 uptrend. The strategists expect the pair to fall to $1.3428/10 (February minimum and 50% retracement of the advance in 2010-2011). In the longer term EUR/USD will slide to $1.2000. In the near term euro will be capped by resistance at $1.3723/1.3840 (intraday Fibonacci retracements and the July minimum).

 

Scotia Capital: EUR/USD may hit levels between $1.30 and $1.35 any time. However, the analysts advise investors avoid trading the pair turning to USD/JPY and selling US dollars versus Japanese yen.

"UBS: bullish outlook for US dollart"(2011-09-13)

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analysts at UBS note that despite US credit downgrade, the greenback has become the ultimate safe haven as other traditional refuges – Japanese yen and Swiss franc – are undermined by the efforts of Japan and Switzerland to weaken their national currencies.

 

The specialists underline that the European Central Bank and the Bank of England are seen easing their monetary policies. As a result, UBS claims that unless the Federal Reserve starts the third round of quantitative easing US dollar will keep strengthening against euro and pound.

"Major banks’ forecasts for euro"(2011-09-13)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some major banks are revising downwards their forecasts for the single currency versus the greenback as the euro zone’s debt crisis deepens and the pair EUR/USD hit yesterday 7-month minimum in the $1.3500 area. For example, UBS is reviewing its current estimate of euro’s rate by the end of the year at $1.35 and J.P. Morgan – the one at $1.36.

 

However, other banks think that it’s still too early to make significant changes to the outlook.

 

Deutsche Bank is already quite bearish on the European currency expecting it to fall to $1.30 by the end of 2011. Barclays Capital keeps its $1.46 year-end view, though its representatives claim that the bank is always considering revisions. HSBC is looking forward to $1.44 by the end of the year and points out that from the fundamental point of view nothing has changed as the market is perfectly aware of the seriousness of European debt issues.

 

The most bullish view on euro’s prospects has Goldman Sachs which reiterated EUR/USD forecast at $1.50 by the end of March. Bank of America-Merrill Lynch names $1.45 as the target for the end of 2011, Credit Suisse sticks to $1.40 in 3 months, though conceding the possibility of the lower levels in the near term.

"Danske Bank: trading recommendations on USD/CHF"(2011-09-13)

 

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technical analysts at Danske Bank claim that though the greenback is showing sharp rebound versus Swiss franc it remains within the longer-term bearish channel.

 

The specialists note that USD/CHF is facing resistance at 0.8848 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from 2010 maximum of 1.1730 to the all-time low of 0.7067), 0.8947 (May 13 maximum) and 0.9370/0.9399 (May 7 maximum and 50% Fibonacci retracement). In their view, the pair may dip to 0.7711 (September 2 minimum) and retest the record minimum at 0.7067.

 

According to the bank, it’s necessary to sell dollars versus francs at 0.9370/0.9399 stopping above 0.9784 or 1.0067.

"Credit Suisse, BarCap: the SNB's peg will spur inflation"(2011-09-14)

 

fbsana.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analysts at Credit Suisse and Barclays Capital warn that Swiss National Bank’s decision to peg franc to euro threats to flood the nation’s financial system with cash spurring inflation. As a result, the central bank won’t fulfill its goal of price stability.

 

The SNB has also resorted to such policy in the 1978 when it set the ceiling for franc versus Deutsche mark. That led to a decade of surging inflation – annual price growth jumped from 1% that year to 7.5% by the middle of 1981. In addition, there was a real-estate bubble in the 1980s – in 4 years after the peg was announced the costs of rental apartments bounced by 52%.

 

Economists at the University of Zurich expect inflation to break above the SNB’s 2% limit during the next 3 years even if Swiss economic growth stumbles.

 

In August Switzerland’s CPI added 0.2% from the levels of the previous year. By the end of August SNB’s foreign-currency holdings reached the record maximum of 253.4 billion francs ($305.1 billion) that’s about a half of the nation’s GDP.

 

The SNB is now focusing on the exchange rate than on inflation. As the central bank’s head Philipp Hildebrand said, Swiss policy makers have started “a challenging journey” with possible “very high” costs.

"Commerzbank: comments on USD/CAD"(2011-09-14)

Technical analysts at Commerzbank note that the greenback’s decline versus its Canadian counterpart from the parity levels was contained by the 55- and 200-day MAs in the 0.9783/21 region.

 

The specialists believe that the fact that US dollar managed to find support at those levels means that the minimums in the 0.9400 zone hit at the end of July will remain the long-term lows.

 

According to the bank, resistance levels for USD/CAD are situated at 1.0042 and 1.0058 (January 31 maximum). If the pair overcomes the latter level and closes above it fir 2 times in New York, it will be poised up to 1.0109/1.0139.

<div>The ECB is going to join efforts with the Federal Reserve and other central banks to conduct three separate dollar liquidity operations on October 12, November 9 and December 7 to ensure lenders have enough of the currency through the end of the year. This would add to the central bank’s regular 7-day dollar offerings and will be fixed-rate tenders with full allotment.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Analysts at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group think that European banks are lacking liquidity because people don’t trust the economic policy structure in Europe. In their view, the dollar-swap will help to improve the situation, but still won’t be enough.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Today is the meeting of the EU finance ministers in Poland. US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will also be attending the event. The ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet urged euro-area governments to act to stop the crisis.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>The pair EUR/USD rose from 7-month minimum at $1.3495 hit on September 12 to the levels above $1.3800. At the same time many experts say that it would be hard for euro to get back to $1.40.</div>
