UK inflation report should keep GBP under pressure

The Inflation Report, due out at 9.30GMT today, has potential to influence the near-term GBP outlook, says RBS strategy team. "While the MPC will not want to be backed into a corner on cutting the base rate ahead of an assessment of the FLS (Funding for Lending Scheme), there should be enough dovish sentiment to keep GBP under pressure" RBS notes.

A quiet session ahead in London in terms of EUR macro data related, starting at 06:00 GMT with German current account and trade balance, followed 30 minutes later by French BoF business sentiment, and trade balance 15 minutes after, Spanish industrial production at 07:00 GMT, and probably most important, German industrial production at 10:00 GMT. In the sovereign debt front Germany will auction up to € 4B in 10 year bunds at 06:00 GMT, with 10 year yields on the rise since record lows at 1.12% on July 23, last at 1.48%. (fxstreet.com)

BOJ: no change in policy

The BoJ monetary policy decision is out and as most participants expected - not a clear cut as in previous months - , the central bank has kept the asset purchase fund at 45 trillion yen, with the credit Loan program also unchanged at 25T yen. Total size of Asset-Purchase Program remains at Y70 trillion. Central bank statement said economy picking up moderately. The Japanese GDP figures will be released next week.

Looking at the economic agenda for the London session ahead one should think another quiet session is around the corner, though with such extreme low liquidity given summer time holidays in Europe and London Olympics in the middle of the final series, any unexpected headline coming from nowhere could make things change in the blink of an eye. Still, no major sovereign debt auctions are scheduled from the EZ, and troubled countries Spain and Italy's 10y yields stay on check right below the 7% in the Spanish case and right below the 6% for his Latin neighbor.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

As we expected yesterday, EURUSD continued to move in correction mode. Pair dropped below our suggested support level at 1.2368 but did not manage to gain momentum reversed on the US session. Today we are not expecting significant volatility increase however ECB Monetary report release at 08:00 GMT time might affect the markets. If the break occurs above next resistance level at 1.2443 (R1), we suggest next targets at 1.2519 (R2) and 1.2595 (R3). The downside trend evolvement is limited by next support level at 1.2325 (S1), surpassing of which might lead to the next targets at 1.2243 (S2) and 1.2148 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD moved below expected support level at 1.5574 but failed to develop success and recover all daily losses. A further increase will then bring focus to the next resistance levels at 1.5696 (R1) and 1.5755 (R2). Final resistance can be found at 1.5816 (R3) level. Likely we might see retracement from previous day gains. Next support level holds at 1.5653 (S1). A break below that level would suggest next target at 1.5606 (S2), further fall will then focus on the next target at 1.5554 (S3).

Technically, instrument moved in range mode. In such situation we suggest to wait for clear signal of sentiment change. For long positions we suggest intraday targets at 78.58 (R1) and 78.78 (R2), clearance here is required for sentiment change to bullish and further appreciation might find final resistance at 79.00 (R3). Short positions might face supports at 78.23 (S1) and 78.05 (S2). Strong technical support located at 77.86 (S3), brake here would suggest of sentiment change to bearish.

RBA outlook for growth continues around trend with inflation on target

The RBA’s quarterly update on financial markets and the economy held few surprises for the market, says NAB economist Robert Henderson. To summarize the report, Robert reports: "The RBA expects some moderation in growth in the second half the 2012 after strong growth in the first half (at least as measured by GDP) and then the economy growing at trend ahead. At the same time, inflation has bottomed but is expected to travel within the target band out to the end of 2014."

As it has been usual in the recent past, Fridays don't bring any critical EZ sovereign debt auctions to take place, and London session ahead will again be a quiet one in terms of EUR macro data related, despite the bunch of minor figures will be released, starting with German CPI and HCPI at 06:00 GMT, followed 45 minutes later by French industrial,manufacturing production, and Gov budget balance, and Italian CPI at 08:00 GMT. The UK will deliver PPI figures at 08:30 GMT which could bring some volatility to cross EUR/GBP. (fxstreet.com)

Uptrend on the medium term still in power and we might see appreciation of the instrument later on today. A break above next resistance level at 1.2327 (R1) would suggest next target at 1.2420 (R2). If the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards to 1.2519 (R3).

USD, from here to eternity - UBS

The US Dollar is likely to remain the world's reserve currency over the next fifty years, says Mansoor Mohi-uddin Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy at UBS Macro Research. "This eternity forecast could be derailed if a deadlocked Congress refused to raise America's debt ceiling, yet, in the absence of the US government defaulting in future, the dollar's dominance may prove surprisingly durable" Mr. Mohi-uddin said in a research note.

London session ahead has almost no EUR macro data related, with only German wholesale price index at 06:00 GMT, followed by French current account 45 minutes later, and Greek prelim 2Q GDP at 09:00 GMT. Little bit busier in the sovereign debt auctions front, Germany will sell up to € 4B in 6 month bills at 06:00 GMT, while Italy will auction up to € 8B in 12 month bills.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

However break below the 1.2240 (S1) level might provide space for further retracement development.

BoJ minutes: members continue to pursue powerful easing

Minutes of the Monetary Policy Meeting in Japan on July 11 and 12 have been published, without any significant surprise. Comparing the forecasts in the April 2012 Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices, BoJ minutes reads: "Growth prospects will likely remain broadly unchanged. With regard to prices, the year-on-year rate of change in the domestic corporate goods price index will likely be somewhat lower for fiscal 2012 but broadly in line with the April forecasts for fiscal 2013. The year-on-year rate of change in the CPI (all items less fresh food) is expected to be broadly in line with the April forecasts."

London session ahead will be a busy one in terms of EUR macro data related, with main risk event for the European morning in the form of German ZEW economic sentiment at 09:00 GMT. But earlier will come French prelim 2Q GDP and CPI m/m, followed by German prelim 2Q GDP at 06:00 GMT, French jobs data 45 minutes later, EUR flash GDP at same time than ZEW, and EU industrial production. Following US session will bring more key figures like US PPI and retail sales at 12:30 GMT which usually move markets. In the GBP front the UK will publish its CPI numbers on yearly basis at 08:30 GMT, which could bring volatility to EUR/GBP cross. In the EZ sovereign debt auctions arena Greece will try to sell up to € 3.125 B worth in 13 week bills. (fxstreet.com)

EUR little moved with half Europe closed on holidays

EUR/USD has just had another quiet and slow Asia-Pacific trading session, last at 1.2323, slightly above opening and session lows price at 1.23156, and below session highs at 1.2332, thus counting for a 16 pip range trading session. Nothing too exciting. The pair comes from a weekly high yesterday at 1.2385 following better than expected German prelim GDP, and holding above yesterday's lows and support at 1.2320. Local share markets are over all in the red, with Nikkei index below the 8900 points down -0.60%.

London session ahead will have to deal with half Europe closed on holidays, and no EUR macro data related at all, not even EZ sovereign debt auctions, and only UK unemployment figures coming out due at 08:30 GMT, which could bring volatility to the EUR/GBP cross. According to VIX, index that measures volatility in SP500 index put options, it is reading at a 5 year lows, which in some way shows how these markets are lacking movement as of late. European futures point to a lower open, according to Bloomberg. (fxstreet.com

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Bank of England minutes at 08:30 GMT might bring additional volatility to the markets. Our next resistance level locates today at 1.5725 (R1). Break above that level would suggest target at 1.5765 (R2), technical level for the Bulls. Rise above it will then focus on 1.5805 (R3), last resistance level. For the downside development, fall below next support level at 1.5600 (S1) would open way for the next expected target at 1.5570 (S2). Further easing might face final support at 1.5535 (S3) level.

On the other hand, price decline towards to our support levels at 78.35 (S1) could trigger further Bearish pressure targeting our next support level at 78.16 (S2). A break below it would suggest last target for today at 77.99 (S3).

Late 2012/early 2013 best guess for next QE3 - Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius recent note to clients warns of the increasing possibility of further delays on the Fed communicating the next easing package to the market. "While QE3 at the September 12-13 FOMC meeting remains possible, our best estimate is that it will take until late 2012/early 2013 before Fed officials return to balance sheet expansion."

London session ahead will be another one again with almost no EUR macro data related to be released, but EU CPI figures at 09:00 GMT as most critical, while in the EZ sovereign debt auctions front there was a Spanish one that has been canceled. Risk premium between Germany and Spain fell yesterday to a several days low around the 500bps, with German yields rising as risk sentiment is improving, and Spanish 10y yields remaining range-bound below the key 7%. Much worse FDI figures today coming from China showing a decrease in -8.7% in Foreign Direct Investment (YoY) (Jul) have been helping the recent rise in USD. (fxstreet.com)

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Yesterday instrument dropped below our suggested support level at 1.2310 and met our target at 1.2270. Instrument stabilized on the Asian session and we expect further decrease later on today as major scenario, however clearance of next resistance level at 1.2310 (R1) would open road to the next targets at 1.2344 (R2) and 1.2373 (R3). Our next support level at locates at 1.2263 (S1), technically important level (Yesterday low).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD continue its sideways movements. We suggest waiting for a clear signal of directional movement. Next important technical resistance stay at 1.5703 (R1), brake here is required for market expansion towards to next target at 1.5740 (R2) and any further increase would be limited by final resistance at 1.5778 (R3). Failure to go higher might push markets to retest previous day low at 1.5659 (S1), which is currently our next support level. Brake here would suggest next target at 1.5623 (S2) and any further fall would then be limited by last support at 1.5583 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

On the Asian session we saw significant volatility increase and market provide us with a clear signal of uptrend development. Currently USDJPY gained +0.46 % and we expect further appreciation towards to our next resistance levels at 79.45 (R1) and 79.64 (R2) later on today. Intraday price increase looks limited by last resistance level at 79.84 (R3). Development of the correction is possible from current levels. Next support level locates at 79.05 (S1), brake here would suggest next targets at 78.85 (S2) and 78.63 (S3) in potential.

Antipodean intervention highly unlikely - ANZ

Direct currency intervention is highly unlikely in Australia or New Zealand in the near term, according to Richard Yetsenga, Andrew Salter & David Croy, strategist at ANZ. "Neither currency is sufficiently over-valued, and it seems unlikely that intervention would be effective." More broadly, "we may be in the early stages of a secular shift in the mix of monetary conditions, involving the combination of stronger currencies and lower interest rates" the team adds.

London session ahead will bring a soft agenda again in EUR macro related terms, starting with Germany PPI at 06:00 GMT, followed by EU current account 2 hours later, and EU trade balance at 09:30 GMT, and no sovereign EZ debt auction on sight for this Friday, as usual for Fridays, with Spanish yields falling while Germany ones rising, thus narrowing their risk premium. Even though session promises to be a quiet one, given current low liquidity conditions, and Spanish gov council meeting today, this could bring some surprising headlines around causing some wide moves.

Market sentiment set for September boost – Wells Fargo

With global equities up 11% from their June trough and while market volatility is at multi-year lows, Wells Fargo has noted a cautiously positive tone in FX in recent weeks: “Looking ahead, we expect European events to evolve favorably overall in September, which could further boost market sentiment,” says Wells Fargo in a research note. “Against this backdrop, the euro could see a further corrective rally towards $1.2750 and perhaps even $1.3000. For commodity and emerging currencies, we see the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Singapore dollar as candidates for currency appreciation.”

In another typical summer holiday session in Europe, the London session ahead will bring a blank economic agenda with no major risk events EUR related. In the sovereign debt auctions front Spain will focus the attention selling up to € 4.5B in 12-18 month bills, while its 10 year yields hit a new 7-week lows at 6.16% yesterday and the risk premium with Germany below the 500 bps. Headlines will keep driving market action on constant speculation about the future of the euro crisis. Starting tomorrow, several key meetings will take place among EZ leaders to deal on current situation.

Forget AUD intervention; RBA rate cuts far more likely - UBS

AUDUSD failed to have a close above 1.05 on Tuesday, with today's price action printing steady declines since the opening of the Australian market. Yesterday, the RBA signaled that remains in a wait-and-see mode as the effects of previous rate cuts continue to percolate through the economy. According to UBS strategist Chris Walker, "attention now shifts to Governor Stevens' semi-annual parliamentary testimony on August 24, especially in the wake of the Treasury's comments last week highlighting the strength of the currency." UBS very much doubt the RBA is poised to intervene in the currency markets, and "if the tightening impact of a strong currency eventually becomes too severe, the bank is far more likely to respond with rate cuts rather than a round of FX intervention" Chris adds.

For second day in a row no major EUR macro data related will be released during London session hours, leaving main risk events for the NY session ahead, starting with US new home sales at 14:00 GMT followed by FOMC minutes at 18:00 GMT. In the sovereign debt auctions front Germany will sell up to € 5B in 2 year federal notes at 06:00 GMT, while Spain had a good auction yesterday and its 10 year yields are down for 10th consecutive day around 6.2%, and risk premium with Germany below the 500bps.

Further price increase is expected above the next resistance level at 1.2488 (R1). Brake here is required to enable next targets at 1.2524 (R2) and 1.2559 (R3).
