MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After the EURUSD formed a bottom at 1.3000 (S2) the pair rose and penetrated upwards all of our resistance levels forming a new high (intraday) at 1.3147 (R1). If it breaks above that level we can expect a target at 1.3214 (R2). On the other hand if a break occurs below the first support at 1.3047 (S1) expect the price to retest 1.3000 (S2) a strong technical and psychological level for the bulls.

EUR/USD unchanged above 1.3120

EUR/USD kept during the Asian trade with its tight range since late Monday in NY, showing no change today from yesterday’s open in Asia-Pacific, trading at 1.3123 as last, with a session high at 1.3140, and a low at 1.3109. Risk appetite also had another round in the local share markets, with Nikkei higher by +1.81% despite the bad Chinese housing data coming out, and gold also on the rise above $1650. Yen selling was the way to go today in the Asian trade. For the London session ahead everybody will be waiting for tomorrow’s 10 year Spanish bond auction, as for today’s agenda there will only be two significant risk events EUR related during the European morning, current account for the EU

The AUD/USD has slipped below 1.0400 after a collection of Aussie negative news coming down the pipe just as the HK market prints its first ticks. The pair has failed to break yesterday’s high at 1.0415, pulling back to current 1.0396 level.

A break below 1.3090 would suggest a target of 1.3047 (S2) and further fall will then focus on 1.3000 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level.

A break above 1.5951 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.5984 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.6048 (R3). On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.5909 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.5858 (S2).

EUR/USD capped below 1.3150 ahead of German IFO business climate

EUR/USD kept on tightening its trading range once again during the Asia-Pacífic session in the last trading day of the week in the region, last at 1.3145, with session highs at 1.3154 and lows at 1.3128. Daily 14 ATR volatility indicator shows a record low reading since early December last year, indicative of the very thin range the pair has trade within this week, ahead of a pretty bussy next week. Local share markets trade with no exception in the red with Nikkei down by -0.39%. The London session ahead has a main risk even in the form of German Ifo Business Climate index, expected to come in line with previous, which will set the pace for EUR/USD at 08:00 GMT, till next key risk event follows thru at 12:30 GMT in the form of US CPI figures. IMF and G20 meetings also start today, with French first round elections to take place Sunday, and Sarkozy starting to feel the pain in the polls.

The EUR/AUD cross has touched a fresh 7-day high of 1.2736 this Friday in Asia, largely on the back of Aussie weakness after the export price index fell 7.0% in the first quarter versus expectations of a 0.2% decline, adding to views that Australia’s terms of trade are poised to cool in the months ahead. The pair is now at 1.2730 vs. 1.2714 late Thursday in New York, recording a modest 0.1% gain on the day, amid a relatively quiet session in FX. AUD/USD trades at 1.0320 vs 1.0322 before the release.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD didn’t made any significant moves yesterday as it traded in a trading range between 1.3153 (R1) and 1.3057 (S1) level. The only difference from the last trading session is that the pair is moving just below the first resistance level. We remain flat on EURUSD until we see a clear break out and in which direction it will move to develop an uptrend or a downtrend with more reliable support and resistance levels. No position.

A break above 1.6072 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.6129 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.6178 (R3). On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.6009 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.5963 (S2).

A break above the first resistance level of 81.69 (R1) would suggest a target of 82.13 (R3). If the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 82.67 (R4). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 81.69 (S1) we can expect the pair to retest support at 81.39 (S1) and a further fall will be limited to 81.13 (S2).

EUR/USD steady below 1.3200

EUR/USD has been around the 1.3200 round mark up and down during Asian session, last at 1.3194, printing session lows at 1.3177 and highs at 1.3209, slightly below Friday’s close. Local share markets trade in the red overall, with Nikkei index down by -0.19%. For the London session ahead not many big risk events Euro related will come out but PMI figures, first French one at 07:00 GMT, followed by Germany one half hour later, and EU manufacturing PMI at 08:00 GMT, all of them expected to come slightly better than previous.

Investors are fleeing the Australian Dollar through the Asian session on a lower-than-expected Australian PPI print, which came at +1.4 YoY, -0.3 QoQ actual against 2.2%, 0.4% consensus, respectively. The Australian Dollar had been trading sluggish in the lead-up to the event as equity markets turned from flat to red territory despite last Friday’s risk appetite mood. The results make the case for an RBA rate cut in the next policy meeting even more likely now.

EURUSD gained momentum in Friday’s session and formed a higher bottom and top, successfully penetrating Friday’s resistance level.

EUR/USD quiet in Asia despite markets turmoil; holds above 1.3150

EUR/USD is quietly trading within a descending tight channel of less than 20 pips wide 1.3145/57 since NY close, last at 1.3152, despite big moves in Aussie and Yen in Asia-Pacífic trade. EUR/AUD is currently printing fresh 2-week highs at 1.2822 after much lower than expected Aus 1Q CPI showed a 0.1% increase while some +0.6% was expected, which opens the RBA doors for a rate cut next meeting May 1st. Local share markets are trading overall deep in the red. London session ahead brings a relatively quiet agenda in EUR macro data related with only EU industrial new orders at 09:00 GMT, though several sovereign debt auctions will take place, including short term Spanish one and longer term Italy and Netherlands from 08:00 to 09:00 GMT. Market will test Netherlands yields after recent government debacle.

AUD/USD has come under a new round of selling pressure on risk-off flows after soft consumer inflation data from down under, which has reinforced the case for a 25 basis point interest rate cut by the RBA at its meeting next week, and a possible 50 basis point rate cut over the next few months. The pair has pushed to a fresh 2-week low of 1.0246, down 0.7% from 1.0318 late Monday in New York.

EURUSD fell sharply and formed a strong support level close to 1.3100. Following that the price rebounded and broke above our Friday’s support and now is moving between that level and 1.3181 level. A break above that level we suggest further rise towards 1.3226 (R2) and further rise will then focus on next target at 1.3287 (R3). On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level of 1.3181 (R1) then we expect the price to retest 1.3118 (S1) and a break below that level then the expected target is at 1.3057 (S2).

A break below that level would suggest target at 80.29 (S2) and further fall will then focus on 79.57 (S3). Look for short positions in today’s trading session, as this is supported by the fact that both of our Moving Averages are turned bearish and are proving a strong resistance to the price. A stop loss should be placed at 81.20 (R1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD has been moving upwards since the middle of April and the bulls face a major hurdle at the 1.3226 level (resistance), a level that is significant both, psychologically and technically. A break above 1.3226 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.3287 (R2) and further rise will then be limited to 1.3351 (R3). On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level then we expect the price to retest 1.3180 (S1) and if a break occurs below that level the expected target is at 1.3118 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD didn’t make any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session apart from a false break out above 1.6150. Following that the price fell and trapped in a trading range between yesterday’s current support and resistance levels. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position until we see a clearer trend direction. No position.

EUR/USD holds steady ahead of EZ, Germany data

EUR/USD has traded a very limited range in Asia between 1.3215 and 1.3232, hovering below its 3-week high after the dollar took a recent hit on USD-negative comments from the Fed, in particular, that the central bank stands ready to use additional measures (more QE) if necessary, which fueled a broad greenback selloff. In the European session ahead, the risk focus for EUR will be Euro-zone consumer confidence data along with Euro-zone economic and industrial confidence data for April, due for release at 09:00 GMT. A few hours later, at 12:30 GMT, German CPI figures are to be published, with economists anticipating a +2.0% reading in the year to April.

EUR/JPY extended its bounce from the 50% retracement of the 104.60/107.98 upswing in overnight trading, reaching the 107.65 price zone before closing at 107.50. So far in Asia, the pair is edging lower, on the verge of losing all of the previous day’s gains, last at 107.33.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD didn’t make any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session as it moved between the first support and resistance level.

On the other hand, if the pair breaks above the first resistance level of 1.3234 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 1.3275 (R2) and a further rise will then focus at 1.3341(R3).

A break above that level would suggest a target at 82.42 (R2) a strong technical level. Look for long positions above 81.77 (R1) targeting 82.42 (R2).

EUR/USD quiet around 1.3200

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3203, holding below yesterday’s lows, previous to the S&P announcement of the Spanish sovereign debt downgrade two notches from A to BBB+. The pair fell from NY close price around 1.3240 to as low as 1.3178 on the news, recovering from there till current quotes with not much of a move since then, for the last 4 hours moving in a 20 pip range. The session ahead for London shows a moderately soft agenda in terms of EUR data related, with GfK German consumer climate and German import prices on monthly basis at 06:00 GMT, followed by French consumer spending 45 minutes later, and several Spanish minor data coming out along the European morning. Market will also pay attention to Italian bond auctions at 09:00 GMT, in order to find what resulting yields come out from the auctions.

The cross EUR/AUD is currently trading at 1.2717 near a double session low, down from a 3-day move lower started Tuesday at double 1.2835 highs following much worse than expected CPI numbers from Australia. It is down by -0.34% since yesterday’s Asia-Pacific opening price

EURUSD trapped in Trading Range

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3249, near the upper bound of the tiny range the pair has traded into this Monday in Asia-Pacific, with main markets Japan and China closed for Golden Week holiday. US and European share markets point for a marginal higher open, according to their futures. For the London session ahead agenda shows German retail sales at 06:00 GMT as EUR macro data related, followed by EU M3 money supply and private loans at 08:00 GMT and CPI figures at 09:00 GMT, as well as short term sovereign debt auctions from France along the European morning.

Despite the Bank of Japan expanded its QE program by JPY5trn to JPY70trn last Friday in Asia, an outcome in line with expectations, the measure seems to have underwhelmed the market, which continues to buy the Yen ignoring the recent aggressive monetary easing.

EUR/AUD is stalling ahead of past Tuesday’s highs at 1.2836, printing a fresh session high at 1.2825, last at 1.2812 bids. Most countries in Europe will close today on Labor Day holiday, drying up liquidity during London session, with no EUR data related being published.

On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.3208 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.3156 (S2).

EUR/USD below 1.3150 ahead of ECB

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3145 off session lows at 1.3137, coming lower from NY session highs 1.3167, in a relatively quiet Asia-Pacific session with Tokyo closed for holiday. Local open share markets trade in the red over all, with Shanghai index leading the way lower with some -1.85%. The London session ahead shows a busy agenda though not because of many risk events but because of very key ones, including ECB interest rate statement at 11:45 GMT this time extraordinarily coming from Barcelona, followed by press conference at 12:30 GMT. Also at 09:00 GMT will come EU monthly PPI, but more importantly, two major bond auctions will take place along the European morning, from Spain and France at 08:30 and 08:50 GMT respectively.

Cable is quietly trading within a tight range 1.6207/1.6188 since early NY, last at 1.6195, lower by -0.15% since yesterday’s Asia-Pacific open. The pair is down for the week some -0.43% after hitting fresh 7-month highs Monday at 1.6301, now retreating from there with weekly lows yesterday at 1.6162.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD fell and formed a bottom at 1.3123 (S1). After that the price rebounded and was able to break above yesterday’s support at 1.3168. A break above the first resistance would suggest a target of 1.3203 (R2). If price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3241 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3168 (R1) we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3104 (S2). A break below that level would suggest target at 1.3057 (S3).

The GBPUSD rebounded from 1.6301 (R3) yearly high and then fell, forming a bottom at 1.6160 (S1). A break below the first support level (S1) would suggest a target of 1.6128 (S2) and a further fall will be limited at 1.6075 (S3). On the other hand, if price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a rise and retest towards 1.6209 (R1). A break above that level will then bring focus to the next resistance level at 1.6248 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The USDJPY didn’t made any significant moves in yesterday’s session as it traded in a consolidation mode between the 80.05 (S1) and 80.65 (R1) levels. A break below 80.05 would suggest a target at 79.65 (S2) and further fall will then focus on 79.08 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level. On the other hand if the price manages to stay above the first support (S1) level we expect the price to retest 80.65 (R1) and a break above that level will concentrate our focus on 81.43(R3).

Greece expected to leave the Eurozone

Global markets continued to fall, including equities, and commodities as investors were in full risk aversion mode. Traders are moving in droves to the safe harbor, of the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. Political turmoil ranging from France to Greece has upset markets. The EU had stated that they will without the rest of the bailout money from Greece until political issues are resolved. In Spain, the government has had to step in and take over the largest bank, Bankia. Economic worries have spooked markets and forced Spain’s borrowing costs to skyrocket.Gold continues to decline along with oil. Yesterday the EIA release crude oil inventory reports showing that crude oil inventories had continued to rise. In early morning Asian news, equity markets continued to decline, as data released in China showed a continued slowdown, while Australia reported a better the forecast unemployment report.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The euro is weak, having lost close to 0.2% against the USD, but still trading within Wednesdays range. The inability to break below 1.2955 was reassuring for EUR bulls in an environment where most drivers are turning rapidly bearish. Having broken the 1.2955 in yesterday, we will see the bears continue to gain strength. The markets are taking a breather this morning as the euro has recovered to 1.2951 after opening at 1.2927 It seems to be moving down again now and if there is a break below 1.2922 that could lead to an acceleration of the move lower, with support at 1.2818 targeted from both a monthly and a weekly pivot. A recovery on the other hand would most likely see the exchange rate struggle higher to fill the gap at 1.3080.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The 1.6142 line is now fluid, after providing support for the past two weeks. This is followed by the psychologically important support level of 1.60, which could be tested if the dollar continues to rally. Next, 1.5930, which saw a lot of movement by the pair in April, has been providing strong support for the pair. Below, there is support at 1.5805, which also was tested in April. The next support level is 1.5750, which has provided support since mid-March. The final line for now is 1.5648, which was last tested in March. Overall technicals are mixed ‐ indicators that remain bullish are waning, though near term support is found at the 21 day MA-1.6098. Resistance remains at the 9 day MA -1.6189

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Technical are showing bearish ‐ the value of the RSI indicator is negative and declining, MACD is thinly negative and steady, while CCI has crossed down the 100 line on the 1-hour chart, giving over all short signals. A break above yesterday’s top and nearest resistance 80.08 would encourage further recovery of the dollar. Immediate support is today’s bottom at 79.60, and consistent break below it could strengthen the yen further down towards next target 78.76.

Eco Calendar thin keep an eye on Politics

Global equities continue to retreat despite a decent round of overnight fundamentals, as Greece’s high stakes election drama weighs on market sentiment. European equity benchmarks are lower and Dow futures are suggesting a tiny drop at the market open. Global currency markets are divided with the A$, NZ$, pound sterling and CAD all up against the USD while the won, Scandinavian currencies and the rand are all lower and the euro is flat. Most European debt markets are rallying or are flat across 10s except for UK 10s that were disappointed by flat stimulus from the BoE.

Solid European manufacturing data didn’t much help the global market tone. French manufacturing production climbed 1.4% m/m and far surpassed consensus expectations for a small drop, even as total industrial production fell thanks to lower electricity and gas production following the prior month’s massive gain in this category. Italian manufacturing also climbed 0.5% and surpassed expectations. UK manufacturing production climbed 0.9% m/m which nearly doubled consensus. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is sticking to her guns and good for her. She reiterated this morning that deficit financed stimulus to growth is a misguided path, and that austerity is the only solution. This continues to put the Franco-German partnership on a collision course over the summer. In the US yesterday data was received with mixed sentiment. Chairman Bernanke’s speech was market neutral. Chinese data has been lackluster, but not market movers.

EU Finance Ministers call for Emergency Meeting.

Markets continue to reel over European uncertainties as they open the week in risk-aversion mode. Greece was unable to form a government over the weekend, and will go back to the polls to try to elect new parties. Spain’s ongoing financial woes and growing worries over the banks in Spain also weigh on the markets. The US dollar and the Japanese Yen, continue to maintain strength as investor’s park funds in safe havens. Gold and crude oil continue to fall, as most USD denominated currencies cannot support the high dollar at present. Even gold trading under the 1600 price is too expensive with the current dollar value. The early part of the week, is thin on eco data, but should be big in political drama as the EU Finance Ministers have called an Emergency meeting today to discuss the future of Greece.

Hollande Sworn in as President of France Today

Today, French President elect Hollande will be sworn into office. Over the next few weeks he will build a government, in the meantime he will appoint an temporary government. These appointments should give us some insight into his economic and financial plans and thoughts.The negative sentiment from the eurozone colors the global markets, as risk aversion remains the mode. With the leadership and the direction of the EU in question and the ongoing turmoil in Greece and increasing debt problems in Spain, markets are worried about who and how the eurozone will attempt to control and turn around the future of Europe. Data out this week might show that the eurozone has slipped back into recession. The overflow of the eurozone declining economic situation is harming its neighbors around the globe from China to the US. Commodities continue to fall, especially those that are USD denominated. The yen is reaching historical highs, which is a difficult situation for Japan. The USD still remains strong. Greece either leaving or being ousted from the euro becomes more likely each passing day.

The euro continues to plunge

While the broad sentiments prevailing in the market continue to be bearish, commodities and shares were seen rising following a rebound in euro. Recovery in Euro from a four month low after a surprisingly strong German GDP data took the pressure off the market and slightly lifted the sentiments. German economy grew 0.5 per cent in the first quarter against the expectation of 0.1 per cent. Euro Zone GDP data indicated that the region avoided recession though the economy continued to remain fragile. However, the overall sentiments were feeble on deepening worries over euro zone crisis and political uncertainty in Greece. Shortly after the exhilaration wore off the euro began to plummet hitting new recent lows to trade at this time at 1.2724.

Market mood continue to remain skeptical as investors fretted about the possibility of a Greek exit from the Euro zone. Financial markets would be fervently watching out for political events in Europe for further cues. With Europe reeling under both financial and political strain, all eyes are on today’s meet between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and new French president Francois Hollande. US eco data was neutral, with retail sales coming in soft.

The Euro fell to quickly in Asian trading to validate the downtrend it also has pushed indicators and oscillators to their maximum reading, Current reading are miscued. We will have to re-evaluate numbers and movement later today. The price action on Monday was negative, and the fact that the 1.29 level finally gave way we showed support had been broken. The 1.29 was the last remnant of the support level in our view. The 1.26 level looks to be the next major support level, and although there will be bounces along the way, the headlines should continue to punish the Euro going forward. However, this pair will more than likely continue to be choppy. We would sell rallies on signs of failure, and a break below the Monday lows.

Negative Sentiment and Risk Aversion Continue

Positive US economic data failed to lift markets. While US April housing starts were higher and industrial production rebounded, US markets sold off as the trading session continued, slipping on news that the ECB might cut funding to Greek banks. US equity indices were down by roughly 0.5% while Canadian equities performed somewhat more strongly. WTI fell by US$1.30 to close at $92.68 and the DXY was up moderately on the session. For a full write-up of today’s US and Canada economic data releases, please see the Economic Data Recap section below.

The Fed released the minutes from its April 24-25 meeting today, and they are making headlines for reasons that we find hard to discern. The minutes included the sentence “several members indicated that additional monetary policy accommodation could be necessary if the economic recovery lost momentum or the downside risks to the forecast became great.” Minutes from the March 13 meeting said “A couple of members indicated that the initiation of additional stimulus could become necessary if the economy lost momentum or if inflation seemed likely to remain below its mandate-consistent rate of 2 percent over the medium run.” Market sentiment will remain negative towards Europe and the continued sell off of European assets is ongoing. Without some positive news or results in Greece, with lack of overall guidance by the EU and continued worries about Spain, the current situation is expected to hold.
