To say more, not very much will change in economic terms if they hike tomorrow or at February. But that is not the same in political terms. If they think that, and if they are clever, I guess they will stay on hold. We will see.

Anyway moves will be gradual and interest in the yen as a funding vehicle will remain strongly intact.
USD JPY history compared to i.r. spreads, i.e. when reducing spreads starts to have effects, and considering global growth at the time, is a lesson that everyone should have in mind IMHO.

If the implications are huge for a 25 bp increase from 0.25% what about the same increase from zero last July?
Seriously, though if there is an increase the market will then focus on what Fukii has to say later. If he indicates the next increase could be some time later then this one will have little lasting effect on the carry trade and Uridashis. On the other hand if he maintains a hawkish posture then watch out. further flows will dry up and there ought to be some profit taking. The latter would seem unlikely given the governments jawboning.
At the moment no one knows for sure.

PHOENIX Yellen: Has No Timetable For Inflation To Move Lower
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Janet Yellen said Wednesday that she has no formal expectation as to when she is likely to see inflation levels reside within her comfort zone.

"I don't have a timetable for that," Yellen said in response to a reporter's question. Yellen has argued, along with many other Fed officials, that the current level of core inflation, which strips out food and energy costs, is above the levels that are consistent with price stability. But Fed officials haven't said, even as they have begun to acknowledge some cooling in price pressures, when they want to see inflation level off.

Yellen explained that even as she continues to worry about the inflation outlook, her main interest is that she "would like to see (inflation) pointing in the right direction" and that it "will continue to come down."

Her comments came after a speech in Phoenix, in an address given to local educators. In her speech, she noted she remained confident that the current level of monetary policy will bring price pressures back to levels acceptable to the Fed. Yellen: Has No Timetable For Inflation To Move Lower

to me the implecations are huge..The BOJ will effectively DOUBLE their interest rates in one single shot!...That's a huge move...But more than that , the market will now be faced with something new : Japan is now RISING interest rates, to where ?How much more is it going to rise?This are questions that should definitely scare the carry trades pattern , and should start a big unwinding.

We will see.

Yes thinning ranges always prepare for a breakout ...I'm still looking for US$ downside in the break out...Again today , the only names buying euro's are official names..Meanwhile specs buy US$..
As for $CHF , as swiss CB say, it's euphoria in the market, it will end up in tears , as usual...Just like the oil euphoria ended up after 6 month, while it was booming on NBC, people saying 50 won't be seen again in our lifetime , and all this kind of crap...CHF is in the same stage , though it's much more discreet , so could prolly keep going for awhile .

On macroeconomic front think tha Bank of Norway has to raise again so i thought to short eur nok here around 8,35 area for another test of 8,10 in next days. Do u have any opinion here pls?

What about the French consumers???

As usual these guys have little intrest in stimulating domestic consumption. It's the benign approval of ever cheapening imports that's allowed the US punters to start spending more of their wages on services and allow US importers to make enourmous profits thereby further stimulating the economy.
Who do you want to encourage?? Aggregate demand or continue to rely on exports (ike Japan has done for 17 years). These French politicians need to trust free markets to do their job.

What also can be said is that Homeland Investment Act in 2005 interrupted teh long-term decline in the USD. That piece of legislation prompted US corporates to repatriate about USD 500 billion most of which in the latter half of the year.
Almost as soon as the new year started USD weakness kicked in again.

u r rite Kaprikorn, effectively i omitted in last time to post my ideas also on GVI site and i ll try to recover the lost time. For the moment i remain long since this morning in USD YEN at, badly i have to say as i hoped in a break, 120,79 (sl 119,85 and tp 121,30). I saw good support again at 120,30 today and even if this is more an yen story than a dollar one (due for indecision surroinding BOJ decision very fine balanced at this point) i dont expect much support for the japanese currency. A rise of 0,25 not followed by strong remarks agst carry trade or strong remarks abt further step in strenghten monetary policy in the near future dont think will give much help to yen. I just wait and hope to see the break of 120,80/90 area this evening to raise my stop loss at entry. Otherwise ill raise the sl to 120,30 if we will stay rangebound and if we will be closer to boj decision. i took a good profit this morning fm gbpyen long pos (236,73 closed at 237,27) and this allow me to resist in this, for the moment, not good trade.

Actually I guess it's the way of things, people looking to short E$ , when it is moving up , long term wise...In fact if it was moving down everyone here would have trying to buy it..

Back then E$ was at Parity and moving up , same was happening around here, with people trying to sell it (for .65), look archives, I was probably the only one with Zorro calling 1.26 at parity..Now the e$ moved to 1.30...People still expect radical fundamental changes that will make the $ come back..If the US$ was making a snap back , fundamentally , things would have to change first ..(Diversification done, Deficits solved , and so forth)..
Nothing changed, the diversification process has just begun..

Theater of the Absurd Surrounds BOJ's Decision: William Pesek

By William Pesek

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- A funny thing is happening on the road toward restoring the Bank of Japan's credibility: It may be about to lose even more of it.

A theater of the absurd is unfolding as the central bank holds a closely watched policy meeting. Tomorrow, we will know if the BOJ sticks to its guns and raises interest rates or bows to politicians, stands pat and loses what little integrity it has built under Governor Toshihiko Fukui.

UBS Says Yen to Climb as Japan May Encourage Gains (Update4)

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's government may call for the yen to gain or even buy its own currency to avoid criticism from trading partners, said Mansoor Mohi-Uddin, global head of foreign exchange strategy at UBS AG.

GBP/USD : The market is going to consolidate between 1.9646 - 1.9685, the mid-point reference is 1.9666. The downside potential is 1.9529 - 1.9568 and the upside risk is 1.9762. Sell on rallies is the preferred trading strategy.

Sterling's sell-off and the rally in short-sterling futures after UK CPI came in at a 15-year high Tuesday is a clear indication that risk/reward doesn't favor medium-term long GBP positions from current levels, says HBoS. The bank says with June short sterling currently yielding 5.82%, implying 2 further rate hikes almost fully discounted, only expectations of another hike which would push rates above 6% would provide the pound with fresh support. With US and China's growth slowing, the ECB raising rates, and 75bp of hikes since August 2006 feeding through into the UK economy the bank doesn't foresee UK rates reaching 6%. Cable now at 1.9660, EUR/GBP at 0.6574.

“The level of 1.2925 on the 5min chart after having come up from 1.2917 appears as resistance.”

Hope this is not a Freudian slip on my part.

Should have said that the levels of 1.2917 and 1.2925 appear as short term support.

I have up pressure mounting for the EUR/USD. The SMA (10) has crossed the SMA (100) on the 5min chart, and appears to be heading that way on the 1hr chart. On the 1day chart the SMA (89) has crossed the SMA (100).

An interesting level on the 4hr chart is 1.2944, which is also around the 50% fib on the daily chart. This is also on the 1hr 30day chart which gives a further possible level of around 1.2975.

The level of 1.2925 on the 5min chart after having come up from 1.2917 appears as resistance.

Fundamentals due out later, so will see.

FWIW My bank is telling me there are two World Bank Uridashis maturing next week totalling about NZD 1.45 million, in February and March there are similar amounts due. We saw similar amounts mature over the course of the last quarter and of course demand for Kiwi expsoure was more than sufficient to meet the maturities.
They indicate there is residual concern about RBNZ increase on 25th Jan (can't see it myself) other measures than the headline CPIT sill show inflation above 3% apparently.
NZ non-tradeables inflation stayed stubbornly high, growing by 0.8% in the quarter and 3.5% on a year ago. Overall, today's NZ CPI data reinforces familiar themes, namely that externally generated inflation pressures are easing but domestically-generated pressures remain surprisingly robust. Thus, it is a line-ball call as to whether the RBNZ at their 25 January policy meeting will focus more on ongoing resource stretch (i.e. an rate rise) or the impact of lower headline inflation on wage and price setting expectations (leaving rates unchanged).
They expect any further selling pressure on the NZD to be limited (support near US$0.6845 should hold).

Sofia Kaprikorn 09:05 GMT January 17, 2007 Reply   
guys - anyoen suggest some reading on these Uridashi bonds - I read many reports that NZD and AUD crosses at times are supproted by the demand of these bonds - I know they are issued in AU and NZ and denominated in JPY but I want to know when the money flows are going??

for example the NZ inflation data yest suggested the NZD will weaken due to no further tightening... but the ccy is still above 0.69

Well, practically, simple.... UK just increased interest rate to 5.25%, therefore, real estate will be getting more expensive due to the hike in the interest rate. When compared to European, the interest rate still remain the same. Most people from England don't mind staying in Euro country due to the weaker currency and cheaper housing. :D

Sankei Shimbun says BoJ may not increase rates until it h as a better grasp of the economy.

NKS: The BOJ policy board is believed to be leaning toward forgoing an interest rate hike at this time. Others suggest that MoF Omi's comment (on no need to seek BoJ vote delay) reflects his confidence that the BOJ will not raise interest rates at its upcoming meeting.

Interesting talks making the rounds that Japan's MoF has called on large Japanese carmaker(s), exporters to buy JPY, with some fears that continued JPY weakness could ignite protectionist sentiment in the Democratic controlled US House and Senate.

Kiwi May Fall To US$0.6647 In Coming Days
Weighed by an unexpected drop in New Zealand's consumer price index in the fourth quarter, the country's currency has lost ground Wednesday and technical charts are flagging further losses. The charts suggest the Kiwi, as the currency is known, could fall toward US$0.6647, and possibly US$0.6509, in coming days. New Zealand's CPI fell 0.2% in the three months ended December from the third quarter, and rose 2.6% from a year earlier. The quarterly fall was the first drop in six years and the result was below market expectations, which had centered on a flat on-quarter outcome and a 2.8% on-year rise.
The currency tumbled from US$0.6955 to a low of US$0.6882 immediately after the data was issued. The daily Kiwi/dollar chart shows that the currency pair may have, at the Jan. 16 high of US$0.6974, completed a three-wave corrective pattern that started from US$0.6838, which was the base set on Jan. 8 after it fell from a peak of US$0.7097 on Jan. 2.
The five-day moving average is positioned below a falling 15-day moving average, which indicates that a bearish Kiwi/dollar trend may be underway. The Parabolic Stop-And-Reverse indicator has stayed bearish. This indicator suggests that short Kiwi/dollar positions should be maintained unless the New Zealand dollar trades high enough against the U.S. dollar to hit the bullish reverse signal, which is now at US$0.7000.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence, or MACD indicator is bearish, and the negative MACD histogram bars are starting to expand, which points to a possible acceleration of downward momentum. The immediate target for this negative outlook is at US$0.6647, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the advance from the June 28 low of US$0.5920 to the Jan. 2 peak at US$0.7097.
Any extension of the Kiwi's fall beyond U$0.6647 on a daily close basis would target U$0.6509, which is the 50% correction level.

Shares of major China property developers fell sharply Wednesday after the tax authority said it would be enforcing a value-added tax on project sales from Feb. 1, a move that will increase developers' costs at a time of rising land prices.
The imposition of the land VAT will raise developers' costs at a time of rising land prices and smaller companies with tight liquidity may face more pressure," said Ding Chaoyu, an analyst at Great Wall Securities.

The tax authority said in its statement property developers that fail to sell a development within three years of receiving a pre-sale license will also have to pay the land VAT.

Guys don't trade YEN pairs without stops. If BOJ does raise rates YEN pairs could tank. Also remember that stops can be filled at whatever market rate is available if market pushes past your stop so technically there is no such thing as a hard stop if market moves very rapidly against your position.

NZD/USD Limps Lower As CPI Dents Hike Chance

NZD/USD headed for weaker finish, could extend losses overnight as benign NZ 4Q CPI raises hurdle for a hike by RBNZ next week, says ANZ Bank senior dealer Murray Hindley; pair last at 0.6916 vs 0.6952 open, yesterday's 0.6954 close. "Overnight I would say the currency is going to come under some pressure; it will be interesting to see if the lows near 0.6880 could be taken out." Thinks risk is for retest of 0.6888 low tapped post-CPI, while a breach of 0.6880 could trigger stops with next target around 0.6840. Any uptick will struggle to pierce 0.6925-30.

This GBP looks ugly..Break under 1.9560 from here yields 200 pips downside..Looks very tired , and things have barely started moving..Euro is just dragging it all downside..

Both need to regain 1.2935 and 1.9640, or downside will pull.

Exciting times. Range bound madness. Bulls and bears fighting it out. I have been hearing many traders talk about the Yen and the marjets prcing in a hike on Thursday. It sure looks like the markets are pricing on NO rate hike. Am i missing soemthing?

You could play both sides , though probably better to go with longer time frames ..

e.g

You think GBP will drop..Well instead of just shorting anywhere , just look range high, and short it around there..So you now have a good entry for your downside idea..Better than shorting at range low , being stopped when it does run down...
Of course risks are that it keeps going , but that's what stops are for.

BOJ may still hike rates tomorrow as it has been implying it wants to "normalize" interest rates as soon as possible, says Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking chief FX manager Takehiko Jimbo; "I think the BOJ won't want to waste this opportunity" to hike rates and run risk of decreasing chances going forward amid economic uncertainty stemming from weak consumption. After latest media reports now tipping BOJ to forego a hike, Credit Suisse's latest Market Implied interest rate pricing for BOJ shows 30% odds of rate hike tomorrow vs 80% yesterday.

No , not at all..When something breaks the "normal" range , you don't short..as you are talking GBPJPY (the monster) , let's say 50 pips ABOVE range means something is happening, and all contra or range trading have to be closed..
Anyways for friday's and thursdays range would be :
237.68---235.78...Why the difference?Because thursday and friday usually move more , so i included that in range finding...
So if 237.68 breaks , what i call "boost" day might keep going and going...Times where top pickers get burned badly...And in anycase , GBP is still in STRONG up move , and there's little reasons to short it..

When you play range trades, you should try to go within the higher timeframe direction...for GBPJPY , it definitely UPSIDE..(Till tomorrow boj , but for now definitely strong killer upside).

AUD/USD Pressured By USD Gains, NZD Fall
AUD/USD to consolidate with negative bias, initial target of 0.7800. Pair failed to hold recent gains, pressured overnight by resurgent USD and earlier on weaker NZD; main impetus likely remains from USD and reaction to U.S. data next few days. Major support at 0.7761 (Dec. 10 low). Daily chart indicators mixed, MACD remains negative, slow stochastic neutral, Dow Jones technical analysis shows.

NZD/USD likely under pressure before RBNZ policy review next week, given softer 4Q CPI, says ABN AMRO director of FX strategy Greg Gibbs; data "may well be seen giving the RBNZ more breathing room to remain on hold." Thinks while recent data suggest hike may still occur, balance of risks for NZD is to downside until Jan. 25 review. Pair, which fell 1% to 0.6888 post-CPI, last at 0.6910.
