EUR/USD reverses on Friday, US Jobs Strong
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) July
Nonfarm Payrolls came in stronger than expected at 160k vs. 100k and this
helped stocks and an already positive investor mood continue into the weekend.
The USD was sold aggressively with the strong jobs numbers not seen strong enough
to change the FED outlook on monetary policy with most analysts still expecting
new measures to be announced next month. Looking ahead, Fed
Chairman Bernanke Speaks.
The Euro (EUR) the ECB hangover
was short lived with the EUR/USD rallying from the start of Europe till the
close on Friday up nearly 200pips. Helping the rally on Friday was the
tightening of Italian and Spanish Debt Yields with talk that Spain was getting
closer to asking the ESM/ESFS officially for aid. New recovery highs
were seen on Monday morning in Asia above 1.2400. The Sterling (GBP) the GBP/USD rallied but was
lagging the EUR/USD as the EUR/GBP basked in the Euro positivity. Resistance
was seen near 1.5650 and we are looking to retest last week’s highs above
1.5750 if the rally continues. GBP/JPY buying is supporting the rally. Looking ahead, July UK
Halifax HPI forecast at -0.5% vs. -1% previously.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) USD/JPY shot higher
after the strong US Jobs data from Y78.25 to Y78.75 but we have seen the major
ease back to Y78.50 given with USD weakness from the EUR/USD rally. EUR/JPY is
rocketing higher up 200 pips from Friday low at Y95 to be trading well
supported above Y97 so far in Asia today. The BOJ meet later this week but are
not expected to announce new measures. Australian Dollar (AUD) the AUD/USD fell
immediately after the US jobs data to 1.0500 but as US stocks surged higher we
saw the risk sensitive currency move to fresh highs tracking the EUR/USD. The outlook
is for more gains above 1.0600 this week if the RBA tomorrow doesn’t surprise
the market.
Looking ahead, RBA Australian Interest Rate on
Tuesday a major risk event for the AUD/USD.
Oil & Gold (XAU) Gold tracked the
Euro higher to break back above $1600 an ounce. OIL/USD surged $3 a barrel
with the better jobs numbers leading to speculation the US consumer will be
stronger than first thought which is a major factor in Oil movements.
Pairs to watch
EUR/USD to test 1.2500 now the bulls have control?
EUR/GBP to test 0.8000 with Euro cross unwinding?
