Euro Break 1.2300 on Rising Hopes of ECB Action
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) although
there are still plenty of doubts remaining about the new Eurozone measures yet to
be announced optimism won out in the end on Friday and we saw fresh week highs on the
EUR/USD into the weekend. US Q2 GDP met expectations at 1.5% Q/Q annualized.
Speculation is mounting that QE3 will be announced by the FED this month to
help stimulate a stumbling US recovery and this speculation is helping US stock
markets to be very strong in recent sessions. Looking ahead, no
US data today.
The Euro (EUR) The EUR/USD moved
to 1.2390 after reports that the ECB president will be holding talks with the
German Central banks over the weekend. No news has emerged so far but it’s
clear they would have discussed measures the ECB could announce on Thursday at
their Interest Rate meeting. There has been some German opposition in using the
ECB to help sovereigns as this was not its purpose when created instead it was created
to fight inflation. The Sterling (GBP) the GBP/USD tested
above 1.5750 a few times on Friday but each time we had solid resistance and
the market is now ranging between 1.5700 and 1.5750 waiting for further news
from the ECB and US FED. The UK itself has embarked of a very loose monetary
policy with 0.5% interest rates and very large asset purchase program currently
at 325bn Pounds. Looking ahead, July UK Halifax forecast
at -0.5% vs. 1% previously. July UK CBI Distributive Trades forecast at 15 vs.
42 previously.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) the USD/JPY enjoyed
rare gains on Friday with the US GDP meeting expectations and the EUR/JPY
soaring higher. The EUR/JPY dragged the major higher and could be a catalyst
for further gains this week since a base has been put in place near the Y78
level. The USD/JPY is being hampered however but the growing consensus of
further US monetary easing of some form. Australian Dollar (AUD) the
AUD/USD soared to fresh multi month highs almost touching 1.0500 as it tracked
the EUR/USD higher. The bears have been completely wrong on the AUD in recent
weeks with the China slowdown story not as big as many had predicted and the
EUR/AUD downtrend providing support rather than usual crisis selloffs seen for the AUD/USD. In fact for some
investors the AUD is looking like a safe haven in Asia far away from the US and
Eurozone debt concerns.
Oil & Gold (XAU) Gold pushed higher
on Friday up to recent resistance near the $1620-35 levels. OIL/USD push above $90 a
barrel as the volatile energy extended its rally.
Pairs to watch
EUR/USD Very important week for the Single Currency,
two way action expected
AUD/USD just under 1.0500 a key medium term
resistance for the commodity currency
