According to Brussels-based body, Italy, Europe's 4th biggest faked way into single currency zone, having run deficits over E.U.'s 3% limit of GDP every year since 1997 which includes when it qualified to join the Euro .

What a joke , in normal times without the US having Deficits the Euro would hit the fan on that about 5 big figures.

Yep, I'm looking at EUr/JPY too and of course GBP/JPy.
If you look at the dayly chart on GBP you can see how it bounced of the trend line.. But imo there will be another upleg, before the real downtrend starts. All of course imho.

the US economy is in deep trouble and that the US dollar is a doomed currency, which will over time lose all its value. However, even within a downtrend there can be countertrend rallies the same way there can be significant corrections within an uptrend. Right now the situation we find in financial markets is as follows. The US stock market and other stock markets around the world have risen from their late October lows in typical post election rallies (see November report entitled, “Conflicting Trends”). However, it is quite common that these post election rallies fade out relatively soon, as was the case when Richard Nixon was elected in November 1972. This was followed by further strength but the stock market made its final high in January 1973 – slightly higher than in December 1972 - before entering a devastating two years' bear market

Atlanta-South 22:44 GMT December 6, 2004 - My impression is that he is more focussed on helping develop democratic systems in Eastern Europe, rather than making money. I do remember that not that long ago he came out in favour of a policy for strengthening currency controls. many people derided him for this, since he made so much money off currency problems; OTOH it is well in keeping with the approach he laid out in the "Alchemy of Finance" book of 20 (?) years ago...

.S. Dollar Gains As Eurogroup Meets
Monday December 6, 4:41 pm ET
The U.S. dollar posted modest gains against most major currencies today, amid profit taking as European finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss recent strength in the euro. The greenback firmed a bit as traders took profits in the wake of Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls debacle, and awaited a statement from the Eurogroup for hints about the ECB's next move on interest rates and the potential for intervention.

ordinarily we'd buy euro here doing the "trend following thing" at 1.3375-95 zone. But there are too many divergences in my techs to make me feel comfy buying euro at 4:00 in the NY afternoon, with $Y looking bid all day and probably a 99% chance it will stay bid up in ASIA I think we are going to pass on selling $$$$ just right now.

Could be missing a huge trade, but something is just not right about the setup to me.

Finally. EURO hits 1.3400 as predicted many many hours ago. What sucks is my Short got Stopped at BE on one of those rebounds. Oh well, it was only a 45 pip target. If EURO is to remain uptrend then this pullback should stop around 1.3370 +-15 area. If it gets down to 3370 I will look at taking a Long posi. If 3355 gets blown away then it might be, no I refuse to use that "C" word.

"Finance chiefs blamed the euro's rise on the widening of the U.S. budget and trade deficits, with Austria's Karl-Heinz Grasser calling for a ``dialogue'' with U.S. President George W. Bush's new economic team.

``It is unacceptable that Europe is paying the bill for some major imbalances in the world economy, especially the current- account and budget deficits in the U.S.,'' Grasser said as he arrived for the ministers' monthly meeting in Brussels. "

And exactly how much influence do you think the assprted EMU head of state, let alone FinMin's have with the Bush administration? Perhaps they are under the mistaken notion the Mr Kerry was elected?

Phenomenal bullish momentum propelled the Euro to a new all-time high of 1.3461 on Friday, terribly close to our medium term target at 1.3500/1.3525 (which is equivalent to the strongest the Deutschmark got to in 1995). We shall allow for another upside squeeze this week, exacerbated by thin December markets. The Euro will probably find it very difficult to move decisively above 1.3500 this month. Then allow for serious consolidation back down towards 1.3000. Note also that the strongest ever level for the German currency was 1.3430 hit in March 1995, equivalent to $1.4560 to one Euro. While the rally of the last three months is seen as ?catching up?, now it is almost overdone.

....I Will add to longs in every dip...!!!

london iain 17:19 GMT December 6, 2004 Reply   
Guys, recent false break of eurjpy triangle has been almost completely reversed now. It has broken through the top of the triangle again now. Easy one to trade, though. support is triangle top at 137.10 and resistance is previous high at 138.26.
FWIW i bought earlier today and have a stop at 136.60. I would add on a break of 138.26.
Alternatively, you could short against 138.26..
Daily stochs are overbought so could put pressure on downside, but for me patterns are bullish, with a break of resistance being extremely bullish - I wasn't joking about 150!!

CAD/USD weekly has a picture perfect morning star formation. Best to try for 1.19 if posible for entry.
Eur/yen weekly looks lke an elongated ascending triangle with best tops between 1.3830-60 (for shorting).

As a consequence, the fund management team may select and hold stocks that have been assessed as having good value and long-term growth potential.

sell signal could come and go in euro but the problem is there is no significant follow up, everyone is just thinking about buying euro at lower level but waiting for someone else to take the risk of shorting it to the desired buy level LOL

sustained intervention could actually work here to bring euro down if so desired, first is to knock it back to around 1.32 level where fresh buyers are expected to jump in and then immediately followed by another big one to trap all fresh buyers and trigger their stop losses, of course it is not that simple in reality but just a thought

This level, say, on a 15 min chart happens to be the confluence of (meeting point of) the midpoints of high and low for the last 90 price bars , for the last 45 bars and the last 19 bars.

I think they're quite pragmatic about ZAR strength, realistically speaking there's not too much they can do if the dollar is collapsing everywhere else. GDP grew around 5.5% last quarter, very strong domestic demand offsetting exporter woes, disposable income increasing from the drop in interest rates already this year, with the Christmas shopping time fast approaching, seems less likely they'll add fuel to the fire. Reserve data tomorrow might give an indication if they are particularly unhappy with rand strength. ZAR has also been quite stable against EUR and GBP where a lot of our trading partners are located.

agree there, euro could go much higher since people are betting about potential top which is dangerous thing to do, given that we haven't heard anything that could change the dollar bearish sentiment, those euro short specs position itself can provide enough fuel for euro to rally 300 pips or so once 1.35 is taken and people realise that there is nothing to worry about intervention at that level, personally though i would like to see lower euro first to get into the next bull train

Alex, It was mentioned as long ago as 3 years+ based on historical levels. A lot has changed since and many will have adjusted their targets and timeframes. The nett result could be at least a small pull back there as some profits are locked in.

The SARB decision is this Thursday , the market has roughly 25bp cuts priced in... the risk with the usd/zar here is for a 50bp cut IMHO , as they will be uneasy with the ccy here as they have mentioned in the past. The other central bank meets this week include other commonwealth ccys... AUD NZD AND CAD>...all have a dilemna.. they would all love to be hiking rates to combat domestic concerns but their ccy strength is taking the forefront on monetary policy.

* The RBA meets tomorrow and there is no chance of any move.
* The RBNZ meets on the 9th once againg they will be enjoying christmas drinks
* The BOC decision is due tomorrow and only has 10pct chance ofa 25bp hike priced in.... the ccy and weak data of late taking a lot of sentiment out of the curve there

Anyone have any thoughts about intervention levels on euro/USS? I find it quite interesting that various groups (including Creditagricole), now believe that $1.40 is a more likely level, rather than $1.35. Nonetheless, traders appear nervous ahead of $1.35. However, given that euro longs have fallen to a very low level, I wonder whether such nervousness is justified since there is not an extreme spec dollar short in market at this time which is needed for a sharp spec-driven correction. anyone wish to contribute some thoughts? many thanks

Hello hope everyone had a good weekend with this latest close above the 3400 resistance and break of the resistance 3440-50 for eur/usd pair I see the bulls preparing to test the main objective number on my system (3500-30). With over extended indicators on just about every chart I can see and $ correction overdue the bulls mounted an attack on the bears Friday and set new highs as usual for this pair. As long as the new resistance (3460-70) holds then the bears can take a breather and unwind the indicators a bit immediate support looks to be around the 3430-40 area. I thought a correction might happen before the main target would hit but that is not looking like it might happen anymore. Until price action indicates other wise I will continue to buy on dips with tight stops.

Resistance for eur/usd pair stands now at 3460-70, 3500-10 and 3530-40. Main objective is still around the 3500-30 area.
Immediate retracement numbers are 3400-10, 3350-60, 3320-30, 3290-3300 and 3245-3055.
Retracement numbers are 3340-50, 3260-70, 3200-10, 3140-50 and 3060-70.
Second wave retracement numbers are 3260-70, 3150-60, 3050-60, 2950-60, and 2830-40 for now key retracement number is 3080-3100.
Support T/L is around 3400-3410, 3325-35 and 3290-3300
Support is around the 3400-10, 3360-70, 3320-3230, 3280-3300, 3250-60, 3200-10, 3140-50 and 3120-30 for now key support is around the 3250-60 area IMHO. GL GT

Intervention an option vs sudden FX moves-Japan LDP
Sun Dec 5, 2004 10:00 PM ET
TOKYO, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Currency intervention is one option to deal with sudden, speculative moves in the foreign exchange market, but is not something that can determine the market's direction over the longer term, a top Japanese policymaker said on Monday.Kaoru Yosano, the policy council chairman of the dominant Liberal Democratic Party, was speaking to Reuters as the dollar held near a five-year trough against the yen below 102 yen .Asked if currency intervention, possibly in concert with other countries, would be necessary to counter the yen's recent strength against the dollar, Yosano said: "Intervention is one option under the framework of international cooperation to deal with sudden foreign exchange rate movements stemming from speculation."But over the longer term, currencies should reflect economic fundamentals, and foreign exchange rates should be decided by the market, he said."Intervention is effective against short-term, speculative moves," he said. "But over the mid to long term, it is natural for currencies to reflect various nations' economic fundamentals."Yosano said he believed the re-elected administration of U.S. President George W. Bush desired a strong dollar, and he "had faith" that Washington would continue to pursue that policy.Japanese financial authorities have stepped up their verbal intervention in the currency market recently as the dollar has slid some 10 percent in the last three months to record lows versus the euro and has fallen 11 percent against the yen since May.But they appear to have refrained from entering in the market since March.Japan sold some 15 trillion yen in intervention in January-March, after a record 20 trillion yen last year.Yosano said currency markets have been dominated by the dollar's broad-based weakness on concerns over the U.S. fiscal and trade deficits and its low savings rate.

Well 1.9390 support on GBP so LONG plays ahead of that will work for a while but USE tight stop. The ranges on the GBP pairs will probably TIGHTEN as we approach data annoucement. If I were long on GBP above 1.94, I would NOT be comfortable with data pending. That is why at sometime prior to annoucement I expect the 1.9390 to break maybe sooner than we think. This WILL affect of course eur/gbp as eur/usd will probably not short as fast as gbp. So eur/gbp shorts probably need to have a 15-20 pip stop to stay in depending on where you took shorts from.

Interventions type of selling euros to the market , or selling just jpy is not effective at all . The only way be effectieve is to have buying usd thing , where other crosses stay moustly flat overall with distribution of usd to croses later.
The right time to be aware of possible intervention is , when usd cycles become harmoniside and to do that , we need still more usd weaker . Just thoughts. gl

Looking at system cycles , GBP is sticking out with its synchronization to other crosses . Later today we going have a 09:30 GMT- Oct Manufacturing Output and 09:30 GMT- Oct Industrial Output from UK . Which we can expect to be the main movement for today .

Some numbers from med. term system of interest ( at least for me) are : 0.6959 for eur/gbp
1.9106 usd/gbp
1.3380 eur/usd
Distance from these levels and current price is good for refference on trend intensity .

GBP is in overbougt territori and bad news can triger pullback , not reverse ( at least for now) .

China still has risk of overheating and also with Beijing has saying it won't respond to outside pressure revaluation of its currency, would imagine however ,when it does the European currencies will fall back dramatically as this move should already price in the revaluation fully and in this type of market any talk from either the US or China regarding market moves overdone would cause dramatic moves JIMHO

ECB Vice President: High Euro Vs Dollar Unwelcome

TOKYO (Nikkei)--Lucas Papademos, vice president of the European Central Bank, said that the recent slide in the value of the dollar against the euro is unwelcome. But despite the considerable appreciation of its currency, the euro zone's economy has managed to perform rather well due to its industrial competitiveness, he said in a recent interview with The Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Papademos added that Europe will be able to raise its productivity further by introducing new technologies.

John: I am NO PRO compared to many on this FORUM, but Dec offers Volatile Movements like any MONTH can. The TRICK is learning to tell when these movements might occur. Sometimes this can be hard to learn. READ & study technical analysis books this should help. Some on this FORUM are willing to help, just ask again. BEYOND this I can't advise any futher, because in many ways I'm still learning myself & my advice on TECHNICALS might harm more than help. Anyway GOOD LUCK & GOOD TRADING.

Atlanta South....101.80 was established as a temporary bottom last week on usd/jpy. PLUS sometime you take a position on ONE CCY becasue another one that moves with it is at resistance. EUR/JPY was around 137.10 at the time I took USD/JPY long. The reason I closed early us that I try to take around 20 pips in a range trading market which is what we will have early IMO. The yen pairs will move best in ASIA normally and the othere CCY's are normally followers

Hi GEP, hope you are doing well. Friday you were expecting a gap up in €/$ at Asia open, since it did not gap up or down, what's your view on the pair now? TIA and GL GT
