World Bank Downgrades Global Growth
U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) the Dollar was on the front foot yesterday with
profit taking extending for a third day in Asia and most majors were slightly
lower on the day. Stocks remain resilient near year highs in the US with the
earning season beginning positively. December Industrial Production increased
0.3% vs. 1.1% previously. December CPI was flat 0.0% m/m. Looking ahead, December Housing Starts forecast at 0.89mn vs.
0.86mn previously. Also Weekly Jobless Claims forecast at 365k vs. 371k
previously.
The Euro (EUR) tested the downside on the major and most crosses
with profit taking entering critical period that is threatening the uptrend. EUR/USD
found support at 1.3260 and was helped off the lows with comments from ECB’s Nowotny
that the current Euro exchange rate was not worrying. This contrasts with ECB Juncker
comments the day before that the Euro was ‘dangerously high’. The Sterling (GBP) tested the downside in sympathy with the Euro for a
test of the 1.6000 major Psychological level. Support was found in the US
session at 1.5980 and we closed back at the 1.6000 in mixed trade. Sellers
looking for a fresh downtrend will be surely frustrated at the lack of progress
the pair has been making especially in the last few sessions. Looking ahead, ECB Monthly Bulletin.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) USD/JPY was dragged lower to Y88 for a strong test
of the uptrend overnight. Support was found at Y87.80 before we rebounded
aggressively back to Y88.70 in the US session. EUR/JPY amplified the USD/JPY
move with a dip to Y116.50 reversing to Y118. The BOJ meeting next week is
growing in importance for a market heavily short the Yen in anticipation of
major announcements. Australian Dollar (AUD) the AUD/USD continues to trade in a very tight range
between 1.0530-1.0580 and we are waiting for a catalyst to break out. The risk
on trading environment is generally supportive for the risk sensitive currency
but the local economy is weakening and the central bank has been cutting
interest rates in the last 6 months. Traders are watching China’s economy very
closely with the sharp rebound in recent months also supporting the AUD
outlook. UPDATE AUSTRALIAN
December Employment Change -5.5k vs. +10k forecast. Unemployment Rate forecast
at 5.4% vs. 5.2% previously.
Oil & Gold (XAU) XAU/USD trading range continued to compress
overnight indicating that a break out is imminent. Topside strong resistance at
$1685. Oil bucked the rest of the market to continue with its uptrend solo overnight.
Resistance was found above $94.20 and traders will be naturally targeting the round
number $95 level.
Pairs to watch
AUD/USD watch 1.05000 as
downside tested?
USD/JPY traders to
support on dip? Y77.80 low in place?
