EUR/USD Bulls Losing Patience
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) the USD
enjoyed gains from Euro led selling overnight but we also saw Yields on long
Term US debt start to move higher and this is getting attention as they have
been at historical lows lately and any move higher will greatly affect the
Dollar’s Future. June Trade Balance improved to -42bn vs. -48bn previously.
Weekly Jobless Claims remained steady at 361k vs. 370k forecast. Looking ahead, July
Import Prices forecast at 0.1% vs. -2.7% previously.
The Euro (EUR) the Euro was under
pressure yesterday as the bulls ran out of patience and concerns about the
timing of ECB/ESF bond buying dominated the headlines. EUR/USD found support at
1.2270 and closed at 1.2300 but is looking weak technically after failing at
the 1.2440 level. The outlook is
still subject to headline risk with daily commentary from ECB and EU officials
moving the market. The Sterling (GBP) the GBP/USD muddled
through an uninspiring day of trade falling back from highs in Asia at 1.5680
to support at 1.5610 in the US session. The Major is still bullish technically
with higher lows daily but a failure to break 1.5700 soon will weigh on
sentiment. June UK Trade Balance widened to -10bn vs. -8bn previously. Looking ahead, July
German CPI forecast at 0.4% vs. 0.4% previously m/m.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) the USD/JPY is
staying very close to Y78.50 but this is still stronger than usual with the
case for going long on the USD/JPY assisting US yields. The Outlook is still
very mixed however and US monetary policy as well as EUR/JPY will have a big
impact. The BOJ held at 0.1% and did not offer any new stimulus. Overnight we
did hear a warning from Fitch that Japan may lose its AAA rating if it does not
do more to cut its Debt. Australian Dollar (AUD) the AUD/USD hit day
highs above 1.0610 before reversing lower in the European and US session
tracking the Euro and GBP. The main drag yesterday was the weaker than expected
Chinese industrial output data. July Australian Jobs were strong at 14k vs. 10k
forecast. Looking
ahead, Chinese July Trade Balance forecast at 34bn vs. 31.7bn previously.
Oil & Gold (XAU) Gold is close to the $1618 resistance but has still not broken the
key level in last 3 weeks.
OIL/USD was very quiet in a $93-$94 range.
Pairs to watch
XAU/USD To break $1618 or risk bigger pullback?
EUR/USD Rally over?
