Weak US Jobs Cement FOMC QE3 Expectations
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) stocks
surged on the back of enthusiasm for the ECB Bond Buying plan and growing
expectations that the US FOMC meeting Wednesday will deliver QE3. August Jobs
came in at 96k vs. 125k. August Unemployment Rate dropped to 8.1% vs. 8.3% as
the participation rate dropped in the US. The perverse reaction of weak data
leading to stock market gains increases the downside risk if Bernanke fails to deliver.
Looking ahead, July
Consumer Credit forecast at 9.05bn vs. 6.46bnn previously.
The Euro (EUR) the Euro surged as
shorts were run over as we shot to 1.2800 from lower 1.2650 after the US Jobs
data. The outlook is mixed with some very big risk events coming up in the
Greece Troika report and the German constitutional court decision on the ESM.
Successful completion of both events and QE3 announced on Wednesday may see the
EUR/USD test 1.3000. The Sterling (GBP) the GBP/USD broke
above 1.6000 but failed to keep up with the EUR/USD which meant the EUR/GBP leapt
to 0.8000. The Pound has been enjoying a nice uptrend recently and we could see
this continue as long as risk appetite remains upbeat. Looking ahead,
September EU Sentix forecast at -30.7 vs. 30.3 previously.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) USD/JPY was
crunched lower immediately after the US jobs missed and we saw follow on
selling to Y78.20 lows. The Y78-80 range has held for months so there is substantial
support at the figure and large stops just below. The FOMC meeting on Thursday
may be the catalyst for a serious test lower later in the week. Australian Dollar (AUD) the
AUD/USD fortunes improved greatly on Friday with the market caught short after
weak local economic data. The weak US Dollar
and soaring Gold help lift the AUD/USD above 1.0300 to 1.0400 highs by the
close. Some weak Chinese data over the weekend has led to some slight selling
so far in Asia but nothing aggressive yet. The AUD/USD remains firsts and
foremost a risk currency so day to day movement in stock markets will dictate
the direction and trend. UPDATE China August Trade Balance 26.6bn vs. 19.8bn forecast.
Imports -2.6% vs. 3.5% forecast.
Oil & Gold (XAU) Gold jumped over $40oz
after weak US jobs data cemented QE3 expectations. Anything but QE3 will
greatly disappoint the bulls prompt a sharp pullback. OIL/USD rallied with US
stocks and risk appetite to $96 a barrel. A break of $98 may lead to the key $100
being tested in the short term.
Pairs to watch
EUR/USD 1.3000 on the cards as rebound continues?
XAU/USD Volatile assured as risk events line up this
week
