The currency trades close to a three-week maximum. The further dynamics of the pair will depend on the Fed monetary policy decision (16:30 GMT). Morgan Stanley: The markets are seeing a good chance that the Fed will announce QE3 today, what is supporting the risky currencies such as the Aussie and kiwi. Citigroup: We suspect the market has priced in too high of odds of QE3. With that in mind, any rally in risky assets resulting from the Fed pursuing QE3 might be small and short-lived. RBS: We see AUD/USD at the parity level ($1.0000) within the next 1-3 months given the Australian macroeconomic conditions and the threat coming from China. Chart.

EUR/USD trades around $1.3130 after peaking to $1.3168 on Friday. Today euro zone is to release its current account (08:00 GMT) and trade balance (09:00 GMT). Tomorrow the German ZEW economic sentiment report may show investor confidence remains weak in the region’s biggest economy. USD/JPY remains flat around 78.30 ahead of a two-day BOJ meeting (September18-19). Many economists expect the regulator to follow the Fed in expanding monetary easing in order to fight the expensive yen. Last week USD/JPY dropped to 77.12, hurting Japan’s exports. Today Japan has a bank holiday. Demand on Aussie and kiwi is down today amid escalating tensions between Japan and China over the ownership of disputed islands. According to specialists, geopolitical disputes will further weigh on the high-yielding currencies. What’s more, the currencies remain under pressure after the Euro group meetings.

They have also mentioned the risks from China and from Europe. RBS: Central bank officials acknowledged risks from China and weaker commodity prices in particular and thus have a bias to cut, but did not show real urgency.

internationallove Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 What to wait from the BoJ?"(2012-09-18) What to wait from the BoJ? On Wednesday the Bank of Japan will announce its monetary policy decision. According to a Bloomberg survey, 5 of 21 economists predict the BOJ will ease policy tomorrow, while 16 are expecting a move by October. Easing expectations are mainly caused by the QE3, announced by the Fed last week: Japan’s monetary authorities are afraid the expensive yen may hurt the economy. Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities: A lack of additional monetary easing could risk a stronger yen. The Bank of Japan will probably increase its asset- purchase program by about 5 trillion yen ($64 billion). Nomura: The likelihood of monetary easing by the BoJ is gradually rising as the Fed embarked on its new QE and conflict with China adds further uncertainty to the economic outlook. However, no additional easing is expected this week, as USDJPY is trading favorably. Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ: We expect the BoJ to remain on hold tomorrow, although there is a high risk of further easing before year end with the Japanese economy losing upward momentum amidst weakening external demand.

internationallove Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Analysts: BOJ easing disappoints Photo: Frantisek Staud USD/JPY has slid back below the 79.00 mark after peaking 79.21 on the Bank of Japan’s easing (asset-purchasing program was expanded by 10 trillion yen today). At this moment the regulator’s efforts to weaken the yen don’t really look successful: the pair still remains below the 200-day MA and further gains are not likely. Most analysts are disappointed by today's BOJ actions. Nomura: The BOJ action was done in order to avoid market disappointment and immediate pressure from the Japanese policymakers. The easing surprised the markets (many investors expected the BOJ to ease in October), but was not impressive. The USD/JPY rally is a good selling opportunity for short term investors. BTMU: Following the recent FOMC decision the feeling was that waiting any longer could have triggered a lurch lower in USD/JPY. The decision today could well be followed up by further easing steps at the meeting in October. Ahead of the elections the regulator may ease more aggressively in order to fight deflation. ING: The BOJ easing is too small and too late: America and Europe will expand their monetary base at a more rapid rate than Japan. The BOJ doesn’t sound convincing: USD/JPY gains above 79.20 (today’s high) are limited. Japan will not be able to reach its 1% inflation target by the end of the fiscal year. Chart.

Most analysts expect a new period of a weak greenback: the Federal Reserve announced a new round of cheap liquidity injection on September 13. Will the single currency find support because of the QE3? Not really. According to most economists, the single currency seems to have lost the confidence of the reserve managers. The central banks are more likely to diversify their reserves into the G10 emerging currencies. Therefore, we don’t have to expect the single currency to benefit from the dollar’s strength this time.

Today gold eased down to the levels around $1,757 an ounce – the move seems like a technical correction. The majority of analysts expect the precious metal to gain more as the major central banks around the world ease their policy. UBS: The target for gold price is at $1,950 an ounce. We won’t be surprise if gold drops below $1,750, but those levels will surely attract new buyers. At the same time, note that gold has already added 11% this quarter.

internationallove Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 "EUR/GBP: technical and fundamental "(2012-09-24) EUR/GBP: technical and fundamental EUR/GBP declined to 0.7965 (lowest level in two weeks and the 100-day MA) as demand for relatively safe British pound rose in conditions of risk aversion. The pair moves back to the downward channel created in May 2011. In a short term the single currency may get some lift if we get positive signals about the resolution of the euro crisis (Spain, Greece, banking union etc.). Resistance for the pair is seen at 0.8100/13 (September 14 maximum), 0.8135 (200-day MA) and then at 0.8160 (50% Fib. retracement of a 2007-2008 uptrend and June 2012 maximums). In a longer prospect, however, the euphoria will come to an end and the investors will remember about dead-locked euro zone’s fundamentals. Sooner or later the ECB will inject more cheap liquidity into the economy, while the Bank of England is likely to remain on hold. As a result, EUR/GBP is expected to continue the downtrend.

internationallove Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 "EUR/USD: short-term technical picture"(2012-09-24) EUR/USD: short-term technical picture EUR/USD closed last week below $1.3000, an important psychological level, after reaching $1.3172 last Monday. The near-term outlook seems negative. MACD went below the signal line on the daily chart. We don’t see any solid support close enough, so euro looks vulnerable for a decline to $1.2825 (200-day MA). On the upside, the pair needs to rise above $1.3165 to get chance to get to $1.3280. Chart. Daily EUR/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

internationallove Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 "SD/JPY: neutral/negative bias"(2012-09-24) SD/JPY: neutral/negative bias USD/JPY is moving down for the fourth day in a row after reaching September peak of 79.22 last Wednesday. On the daily chart one may see that on the upside the pair is capped by the Ichimoku Cloud. USD/JPY closed last week above 78 yen and is expected to fluctuate around this level in the near term. Resistance: 78.17 (Tenkan-sen), 78.40/50 (Kijun-sen, 50-day MA), 78.80/85 (August 9 maximum, Cloud bottom), 79.00 (psychological level, 100-day MA), 79.30 (200-day MA, Cloud top). Support: 78.00, 77.64 (June 1 minimum), 77.12 (September 13 minimum). TD Securities: USD is looking a little vulnerable to weakness versus yen this week; the sideways range trading may be the most likely outcome. Short-term price trends are very indecisive – the market is essentially trying to find a stronger sense of direction. Chart. Daily USD/JPY Have a profitable trade with FBS!
