ESM Banking License Talk Sparks EUR/USD Rebound
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) stocks
around the world enjoyed a solid relief rally overnight and EUR/USD sellers booked
profit on short trades leading to USD weakness across the board. Weak June Home
Sales at 350k vs. 369k previously added to mounting speculation the FED will
move sooner than later to help the US economy. Looking ahead, Weekly
Jobless Claims forecast at 380k vs. 386k previously. Also June Durable Goods
Orders forecast at 0.4% vs. 1.3% previously.
The Euro (EUR) the EUR/USD shot
higher as Nowonty suggested the ESM (the Eurozone Bailout Fund recently agreed
upon to save Spain) should be given a Banking license. This would open the fund
up to loans from the ECB but is controversial because this would be akin to monetizing
the EU Government Debt. The German response to Nowotny suggestion should be
interesting.
The Sterling (GBP) the GBP/USD was
smacked lower after Q2 GBP fell quicker than forecast at -0.7% vs. -0.3%
forecast by economists. Bad weather was blamed but it is still very negative
with the market selling GBP aggressively across the board. The EUR/GBP helped
the EUR/USD rally and the important cross finished the day at 0.7840. GBP/USD
fell to 1.5460 but had hit a day high of 1.5550 as the EUR/USD moved higher.
Looking ahead, German GFK Consumer Sentiment is forecast at 5.8 in August.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) the USD/JPY is
under continuous pressure from USD weakness on QE3 expectations and from EUR/JPY
weakness when negative Eurozone news emerged. The Y78 level is holding for now
but overnight we heard from the BOJ Yamaguchi that intervention isn’t imminent and
this could weigh if more aggressive attempts are made to break the key support. Australian Dollar (AUD) the
AUD/USD reversed as aggressively from the start of Asia where support was found
at 1.0180 after CPI came in slightly weaker than expected at 0.5% vs. 0.6%
forecast Q/Q. The EUR/USD and subsequent US stock market rally helped extend
the rebound into a full blown risk rally and we saw a move above 1.0300 and
then on to fresh week highs above 1.0330. The outlook is mixed with the
Eurozone crisis still capable of pulling the AUD lower but the commodity
currency remains well supported on the dip.
Oil & Gold (XAU) Gold surged out of
its range to break above $1600 and close above the key level in a bullish move. OIL/USD was mixed with a
dip o $87 bouncing back to $89 in another volatile day of trade.
Pairs to watch
EUR/USD can the bounce last?
USD/JPY will US QE3 talk pull the major lower?
