NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The dollar rallied against several major currencies on Monday on talk by European officials about curbing euro strength ahead of next week's meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrial nationsTraders' expectations that the G7 may nudge Japan and China to allow their currencies more room to appreciate against the dollar lifted the yen, especially against the euro, analysts said.The euro's drop of more than 1 percent against the yen contributed to the European currency's fall versus the dollar.The break of the euro (below) 133 yen has put some pressure on euro/dollar," said Rebecca Patterson, global currency strategist with JP Morgan in New York."There is a growing sense in the market that the G7 meeting is going to have some sort of language as it did in September (at the G7 meeting in Dubai) suggesting that Asians should take part in the global currency rebalancing (that is) underway ... that is convincing investors to buy yen," Patterson said.

The dollar has started the week off strong against Europe. On the other hand, it traded somewhat softer against the yen. I wonder if it was the word in the Japanese press Monday that large corporations are budgeting a stronger yen in the new fiscal year that starts on April 1, 2004 led to some buying of yen vs. the dollar and euro. Japanese institutions have a long history of close relations with the government and this suggests that the word might have gotten out that the $/yen will be let slip to 100-105 in the first half of the fiscal year.

Talk of ECB rate cut risk weighed on the European unit as well. I don�t see a rate cut in the immediate future, but a rate reduction is in the realm of the possible in 2Q04.

The markets took a cautious posture into the G7 Finance Minister�s meeting at the end of next week. The deputy Finance Ministers are meeting in Brussels in preparation for the February 6-7 G7 meeting. We heard that the G7 plans to send a message to the dollar-pegged Asian currencies (including China) that they are going to have to rise in value, but that the rise should be gradual. This is from a source at the Deputy G7 meeting in Brussels, and is consistent with our views about Europe and the yen.

There is a full economic calendar this week and the FOMC decision Wednesday. The market will be on alert until next week when the focus will include ECB and BOE monetary policy decisions on Thursday and the G7. Tuesday�s key focus will be the German IFO survey.

According to Fed Funds futures prices, there is no chance of a Fed rate hike at this meeting. Odds of the first hike in 2004 are negligible until the June two-day meeting where the odds rise to 40%. But while the funds rate is a lock at one
percent this month, the wording of the statement is far less certain. The risks to the economy's long-term potential no longer seem balanced.spending are up while the unemployment rate and weekly jobless claims are down.The recovery is well begun and inflation is evident in services prices if not(yet) in goods prices. The Fed needs to carefully manage market expectations at this meeting, the statement from which should lift the odds of a 25 bps ratehike in June to something greater than 50%.

Alert at borders for fatal bird flu
DEADLY bird flu has reached Australia's doorstep, with Indonesia admitting the presence of the disease and the first confirmed death in Thailand.
Australian authorities are on high alert for the virulent H5N1 strain of the disease, which could devastate the local poultry industry and native birds if it reaches this country.The situation appeared to have become much more serious over the past few days, said virologist Bryan Eaton. "I'd be worried, given Indonesia's close proximity to Australia." Dr Eaton, deputy chief executive of the Australian Biosecurity Co-operative Research Centre in Geelong, which would analyse samples from suspect outbreaks in Australian poultry, said he would be making his staff aware there was a potential emergency
Aus press.

AUD threatening to break under support at 0.7700 . After such an extended period of range trade a break will spark interest from tech based players who will be sucked in to sell. The target of any break will be 0.7630 initially, but could run on to test the years low of 0.7530.

Further confirmation of the hunt:
"More stops have been triggered in [EUR/USD]n which has fallen to 1.2460 as leveraged accounts start to raise the pace of selling. Cable at first the leader in the Usd comeback is finding some bids ahead of 1.8100, but still looks set to fall as well. Most surprising is the rise in Usd/Yen which has hit 106.40 on the back of a succession of minor buy stops. Much of this was thanks to the earlier rumour inspired 105.80 sell off, and with this cleansed the downtrend should reassert itself. This will be confirmed if Eur/Yen breaks under 132.45 a move sure to trigger stops and open up 131.60 in the short term. Next Eur/Usd support is at 1.2425. " MMS

Happy Australia Day and I hope everyone is enjoying the day. A rather unusual late move today for the eur/usd but the bears have sneaked back on top and have control of the dollar correction once again. My earlier correction numbers stand bottom to be taken out now at 1.2330 then aim at the 50% fib retracement (1.2140-35) area IMHO. (/;-> GL GT

FWIW: USD Index has taken out the 86.91/87.05 fibo/fractal combo. This sets up further retracement to the 88.01 level (88.01 to 85.49 recent downmove). Dollar showing strength for the moment. If 87.047 (61.8 % fibo of same move) holds, look for more dollar strength. By the way, my system is not based on the limitation of time.

ArgenFX, Although rumour has it that MOF might be OK with a lower USD/JPY, I don't know if I am buying that premise. 105.80 still seems like legitamate support to me STILL. But a stop around 105.60 would be prudent if a LONG is attempted. The intent of the rumour in my view is obvious, to create some confusion as confusion DOES slow the price action. So until proven otherwise I would think rnge is 105.80 to 106.60

Thai death sparks pandemic fears
South-East Asian countries have convened an emergency summit in Bangkok as the bird-flu epidemic spread deeper across the region and claimed its first confirmed death in Thailand.Tomorrow's summit in the Thai capital will be attended by health and agriculture ministers from seven nations hit by the outbreak that has killed at least seven people, forced the slaughter of millions of chickens and threatened a repeat of last year's SARS crisis.The World Health Organisation, which revealed at the weekend that the virus had mutated and would require development of a new human vaccine, fears the strain could cross with human influenza and trigger a pandemic."We don't know how this virus is spreading and so it's safe to presume that nowhere can consider itself safe," a WHO spokesman, Peter Cordingley, told Reuters

EU Economics Commissioner Solbes is on the wires saying that the market mustn"t overreact to the strong EUR. He points out the positive impact on inflation and says exports have not been negatively impacted, with strong global demand offsetting the rise of the currency.

The markets will be spending this week getting set up for big events at the end of next week. The major focus is the February 6-7 G7 Finance Minister�s meeting, and the open question is whether the group will do something about the strength of the euro, not only against the dollar, but also against Asia. We see three possible courses: more verbal intervention, actual market intervention and an easing of monetary policy by the ECB, which means an interest rate cut. In the meantime, the Deputy Finance Ministers started to meet Monday in Brussels. It is in these meetings that the REAL work is done. Keep your eyes peeled for any leaks.

More verbal intervention is a given, and I would not be surprised to see National Central Banks in Europe begin to engage in discrete eur/$ selling. Concerted intervention looks unlikely to us at this juncture. The ECB will only cut rates when it feels that the drag of the strong euro on the economy runs the risk of becoming deflationary. Our best guess is that we would start to hear something about this before the ECB acts. The ECB meets on February 6. Also the BOE meets on February 5-6, and on the merits a rate hike would seem to be in store.

One other item that is not too early to consider is the February 6 release of January non-farm payrolls. A sudden surge in U.S. employment could turn around the outlook for a steady Fed policy indefinitely in the future and even the weak dollar scenario. You have to be careful with these data as they can be volatile and subject to significant revisions. Secretary Snow MIGHT have been sending a signal about a week ago when he said that the December data understated job growth. I�m not sure what that statement meant.

The Fed also meets on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is virtually no risk for a rate change. We are back focusing on the �considerable time period phrase�. I would not be surprised to see them drop it now when there are no policy implications.

Lastly, keep an eye on the flu virus among chickens in Asia which is reaching epidemic proportions it is highly contagious and could pass over to humans. This could become a worse problem than S.A.R.S. was a year ago and impact the Asian economy.

BRUSSELS, Jan 26 (Reuters) - European and U.S. officials gave conflicting signals about the need for action to curb volatile exchange rates on Monday ahead of a key meeting of major industrialised countries.

As top G7 finance officials gathered in Brussels for wider economic discussions ahead of the meeting of their finance ministers next month, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet was quoted as speaking out against "excessive changes in exchange rates".

But U.S. Undersecretary for Trade Grant Aldonas said the spotlight of the meeting in Boca Raton, Florida on February 6 and 7 should be concentrated primarily on economic fundamentals... Europe,U.S. send mixed signals on fx action need

Periode of consolidation close to finished for cable and eurusd. repeated failures at breaking support levels indicate a lack of conviction in the downside. May see sizeable moves up in both units as long as res at 1.2600 and 1.8280 are taken out.

If not, we are stuck in a 50 pip trading range until we get a convincing break out. USD crosses indicate that this break is to the upside for eurusd and cable, but don't bet the rest of your trading account on it.

FX UPDATE 26/01
Good morning,

***EUR***
EUR/USD (currently 1,2540), 200 pips lower than Friday opening. The pair drifted higher (high 1,2775) before retracing sharply lower, taking supports at 1,2690 and 1,2600 (low 1,2565). Reports of US investment banks and Middle east names selling ahead of a possible ECB rate cut to counter the pace of EUR appreciation.
Technically, the EUR/USD seems to be experiencing a consolidation inside 1,23-1,29 with a equilibrium point around 1,2500.
For today we will still be looking to play the range 1,2500-1,2620. As long as 1,2300 is not taken, we still believe in the medium term uptrend, our target remains at 1,3500.

Data out today:
US homesales Dec expected 6,10 Mio 15.00 GMT

Gold around 405,50 , with WTI February at 34,81.

***JPY***
USD/JPY (currently 106,20) could not take advantage of USD recovery and was unable to sustain friday's closing level at 106,75 . Traders still looking concerned of BOJ action, crucial support stands at 105,90 while resistance currently stands at 106,80.
EUR/JPY (currently 133,15) broke its 134,50 support is is now looking for 132,50 big support. Resistance above 134,00 now.

***GBP***
Cable (currently 1,8200) printed 1,8520 last friday before retracing to 1,8200 support zone. Overnight critical support at 1,8150 was tested, if broken should erase last days gains and retest 1,7800 support. For today we'll be looking to play 1,8150-1,8330.
n EURGBP (0,6890) was rejected at 0,6930 again friday before. We still favour the downside for the medium term especially in the wake of a possible ECB rate cut.

Have a nice day,

Olivier

It's already overvalued though.
I've read an article that the Euro's real value is around $1.10 or $1.20
People might be looking for an excuse to short it.
A sudden dump of Euro on the market might be a catalyst.

I'm new at this though.

Would 39 yards be enough to push the EUR down 1300 pips? If ECB is going to intervene, Trichet knows very well that any threats have to be absolutely credible. When usuing the piggy bank to ward of specs, 'the Powell doctrine' of overwhelming force is a necessity. 39 yards though large doesn't seem near enough if the overall market is dollar negative.

Gamble it all on a EUR/USD short.

"ECB policy makers stayed in the forefront with their euro comments. Hans-Werner Sinn, president of Germany�s Ifo economic institution, said that the ECB should sell 30 billion euros ($39 billion) in the FX market should the euro climb to $1.30, adding that he thought that the sale could push the euro lower by 10% against the dollar.

CFTC Data Large specs cut short dollar positions vs Cad, Chf and Jpy as of 20 Jan, according to the latest CFTC report. Long Cad positions were cut dramatically -13.6K, to leave net longs at 23.9K. Usd/Cad has rebounded from 10 year lows at 1.2682 on 9 Jan, undermined by a BoC rate cut to 2.50% and the threat of more cuts to come. Long Chf positions were also pared back sharply, -6.2k, not out of line with an improved global appetite for risk in 2004; leaves net longs at 9k. Net Jpy longs were cut from record levels by 8.9k, leaving net longs at a still huge 51.7K. In other currencies; Gbp net longs increased by 2.5K to 16.2K, largely due to Gbp shorts throwing in the towel. Hawkish comments from BoE governor on Jan 20 helped spark a nearly 4 big figure rally in Gbp/Usd. Aud net longs increased only modestly by 0.2K to 25.6K. Eur net longs increased by 1.3K to 28.2K

Fed may keep rates too low for too long in bid to stimulate jobs growth in U.S., billionaire financier George Soros "the Fed is liable to overstay its easy money policy until a tipping point is reached. And then you can have quite a sharp rise in interest rates." View that Fed's on hold for while is well held in market, with few tipping a rate hike before September at earliest; and Soros agrees market is prepared for such scenario, being short bonds. Still, he expects jobs to start picking up soon

EUR/USD analysis from Forex News:

EUR/USD

The euro fell to key support at 1.2650 on Friday and is testing this level in early Japanese trade. The euro rose to a marginal new high of 1.2775 on Friday but careened through trendline support at 1.27 and is now testing the 50% retracement of last week�s advance. Only a move below 1.2550 would shift focus to a larger correction. Until then, a run at the previous all-time high of 1.2895 is still in order. Below 1.2550 targets 1.24 and 1.2330.

where are all the gbp/jpy bulls?

JIMVHO, this dlr/jpy, if fail to attack at 105.75 in terms of daily, will generate a very strong bounce from there (3 attacks fail in daily chart is not a good sign in Chinese minds).

Harrison, so how do I show the EUR/USD cross as in the EUR/JPY cross (EURJPY a0-fx) because that doesn't seem to work for USD?

Thanks again,

OK Dallas. Scalped a couple of PIPs and reversed to short EUR/USD.
Maybe the force is with me like on Friday.

When they trade, they trade timing, not the level........

IF and that is 50/50 at best, 1.2560 is broken, this euro could go a long way. Minor support @ 1.2500

GEP, ML and Raden good to see your comments in asian time on an early monday. Don't be to hasty to place your bets. Like I said before looks good for a long but a short could happen on the dollar as well IMHO. (/;-> GT

Harrison, sorry to bug. I put in "eur ao-fx and it doesn't seem to work. Also tried just ao-fx and a number of other combo's. Maybe it hasn't been processed yet. All I can get up is the dow.

Thanks

GEP, it is the one we talked about Friday...they do some nasty stop running on weekends. if you watch the charts with their feed @ 4:55 to 5:05 EST on Sundays, you can see it with your own eyes...LOL......if you had a TP limit in there, it would have been filled...different than the other platforms for sure.

Morning Raden Mas. This euro is testing this 1.2560 level again. I really look for it to bounce up from here but market is VERY thin

I've just signed up and can't seem to find the symbols for EUR/USD etc? I have signed up for the FOREX feed.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

ML, my feeling right now is it is better to BUY on a dip to 1.8200. I think pound could very well long even if Euro shorts

ICT ML 00:20 GMT January 26, 2004 Reply   
GEP, well we should have went long at 50% fib Friday but didn't..that was a good bounce up to close...

ML, could have had cable long from 1.8220 this evening and then closed @ 1.8270 BUMMER!!!

ICT ML 00:11 GMT January 26, 2004 Reply   
Good evening GEP...kind of boring right now....found that a new rising hourly cable channel was formed on Friday, bottom now at 1.8200 fwiw.....BUT, euro and swiss formed them too and then broke through the bottoms on Friday so I am watching this close with cannons loaded and aimed off both sides of the ship....LOL.

There is talk that German Bundesbank requested the option to sell 600 tons of gold from its reserves under any renewal of the 1999 agreement limiting the sales of gold by European central banks to no more than 400 tons each year. may be used as an excuse to cut long positions on Gold this week the view from
