Well here we are at 0.8183 after a high of 0.8194 overnight, where would we be if the Reserve Bank had increased interest rates?
Buying from Asia particuarly Japan helped turn Aussie around then strength continued following weak US ISM and other data. The move now adds up to 5 US cents without a meaningful retracement and with the amount of offshore buying each day it is hard to see a meaningful one occurring. 82 cents ought to provide a barrier today supported by selling from options players but still see anattempt. There were rumours of Macquarie selling AUD for the purchase of wireless and phone cabling from National Grid. One day before the Easter break though its hard to see any meaningful transaction emanating today to push Aussie down in the face of continuing offshore buying.

From GSFX
The G7 meeting is coming up next week, and already with Canada FinMin Flaherty hinting that the yen weakness will be discussed at the meeting, the market is almost turning a blind eye to this event, which ironically used to be much-watched and much-anticipated headline especially when it comes to touching the yen issue. Would this be the time that the G7 ministers slip the carpet under everyone's feet and decide to intervene? The market has certainly learned its lesson from buying yen on back of central banker comments - so for $/JPY moving south again might take more than verbal intervention this time around. In the mean time, US ADP employment printed weak, which added some comfort to the US bears. As the market anticipate a very key NFP this Friday, we may have another choppy day before getting clearer directions.

In the April monthly forex spot rate sentiment survey of professional forex dealers by global-view.com, the leading forex discussion website, sentiment for the USD against the EUR has worsened. The three-month ahead mean currency spot rate forecast for EUR/USD was 1.3410 from 1.2998 a month earlier. The EURUSD spot price at the mid-point (April 2 close) of when the survey was being conducted was 1.3365.
The GVI-Cumino Euro bull index (Range 0-100; 0 = most bearish, 100 = most bullish, 50 = neutral) was lower in the EUR/USD at 41 from 55 previously. The GVI-Cumino index uses a theoretical neutral option strategy to measure the intensity and direction of individual trader sentiment from price levels at the time when forecasts were made.
The USD/JPY mean dollar forex spot rate forecast was roughly steady at 116.31 from 116.11 one month ago. The USD/JPY currency spot rate at the mid-point of when the survey was being conducted was 117.80. The GVI-Cumino dollar bull index turned USD negative to 41 from 55.
Traders expect the price of crude oil (WTI) to close at $65.65 in three-months time from the current spot vs. the previous $61.83 estimate.
In a special question on Fed policy for the balance of the year, 50% expect no rate cuts, 35% expect one rate reduction, and only 15% saw two or more cuts.

the 20 DMA (pivotal) is at 0.6770 and can either cap the bounce or a confirmed break can shoot it to the Upper BBand around 0.6850
-Slow Sto and MACD I think favor new test of the 200 DMA - however I will appreciate any comments!!!

Canada's record-setting pace of construction intentions came to an abrupt halt in February, as the value of building permits plunged to its lowest level in a year.
Municipalities issued $4.9 billion in building permits in February, down 22.4% from the second highest level on record in January. The level was 12.0% below last year's monthly average, and the lowest since February 2006. statscan

Forex Focus: Sterling Likely To Falter Before Hitting $2.00
By Nicholas Hastings
The pound looks set for a break over $2.000 for the first time since 1992.
But, once again, sterling will probably run out of steam before it gets there.
Much is likely to depend on whether the Bank of England hikes interest rates another 25 basis points at its monetary policy meeting that ends Thursday, or whether the central bank waits for the next meeting in May.
Daragh Maher, a senior currency strategist with Calyon in London, warns that the pound could face "a very sharp reversal" if the bank decides to leave rates unchanged at 5.25%.
He reckons that sterling financial markets are more hawkish than many economists and are already pricing in at least a 50% chance of higher rates this week.

The prominent problems plaguing China's economy can increase appreciation pressure on the yuan, China's top economic planner said in a report.
The prominent problems in the economy are an overly rapid growth in fixed-asset investment and credit, and a large trade surplus, said Ma Kai, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission.
Ma made the comments in a local magazine that was picked up Wednesday by the official Xinhua News Agency

EUR/USD trading was a repeat of Mon's session where the range was tight. USD/JPY rallied with stories that domestic investors are back on the hunt for yields. While trading was lacking in breadth and depth, the trading range was significant, extending from 117.74 to 118.85-90. GBP continued to climb amid perception of glowing odds of a BoE rate hike on Thursday. GBP/AUD demand linked to news of Macquarie UK Broadcast Venture's GBP2.5bn purchase of UK's National Grid also supported GBP/USD and weighed on AUD/USD.

There was a rumour Macquarie was a large seller this morning. I am hearing they sold up to AUD 2 billion yesterday. Deal relates to purchase of a wireless network in the UK for GBP 5 billion. It would be most unusual if the total amount was to be funded from Australia. If that deal has been completed and with the buying that has taken place (I am hearing a French bank was a buyer relating to an option position) today there's not that much topside to hold this back.

Westpac chief currency strategist Robert Rennie.
Aussie could fall further in the short term, "With the Aussie having touched very important historical levels, today will obviously be a disappointment," he said. "So the risk is that we've got lower to go in the short term."
The Aussie had risen as much as 6.5 percent to its 10-year high in offshore trade on Monday, since a touching a 16-week low of $0.7682 just over four weeks ago after investors unwound riskier bets amid gyrations on global stock markets.
A Credit Suisse report said financial markets now priced in a 50 percent chance the RBA would lift rates by 25 basis points to a 10-year high of 6.50 percent at its May policy meeting.

US home loan woes threaten debt crisis
By James Quinn, Business Correspondent

A leading fund manager has warned the continued collapse of the US sub-prime mortgage market is likely to lead to a "massive" rate of defaults in certain parts of the CDO market.
Francois Bartholemy, a senior fund manager at F&C -Partners, believes the market, once famously described as "toxic waste", will be severely impacted by the current problems in the US.
The CDO - or collateralised debt obligation - market is worth more than £2,000bn globally.
The US sub-prime mortgage crisis has already had a serious impact on both sides of the Atlantic, hitting banks such as HSBC hard, and leading to the -collapse of a number of sub-prime specialists such as New Century Financial, which was once the second largest sub-prime lender in America.
A growing number of British CDOs are emerging - including ones set up by CVC and Permira, although there is no suggestion that they are exposed to the sub-prime fall-out.
Sir Howard Davies, when he was chairman of the Financial Services Authority, once described CDOs as "toxic waste," prophesying the -growing concern in the market for such complicated debt instruments.

Australian Treasurer Peter Costello Wednesday said the central bank's decision to keep the official cash rate steady at 6.25% shows that inflation remains within its target band.
"Today's decision shows that the inflation target which is 2% to 3% is on track," Costello told reporters.
It is important for the Australian economy to keep inflation low, he added.
"The fact that we have got pressures coming from overseas, particularly in relation to oil and petrol prices, makes that harder but we are very focussed on keeping inflation low," Costello said.

I heard Bill Evans of Westpac and rory Robertson of Macquarie. They believe the threats to the US economy might have been what caused the Reserve bank to stay its hand. The March quarter CPI is due before the next meeting, if this soft then its hard to see the justification for a rise notwithstanding other strong data.
Evans' sees the probability of rise in May as an 80% chance while Robertson believes it is less than 50% now with the CPI coming in low as the justification.

Dollar Has Further To Fall-Suncorp
AUD's downward bias unsurprising given its 5-cent rally in the last month was due to likelihood RBA would hike rates today, says Suncorp Metway currency strategist Peter Pontikis. AUD/USD off lows after slump to 0.8066 in wake of RBA's rates-unchanged decision but at current 0.8082 level, is still around a cent below yesterday's intraday 0.8177 high. "We've had about a one cent drop from yesterday's open to this morning so it's not a bad dip but against the five cent gain it's not enough," says Pontikis.

Australia Mar Performance Of Services Index -3.9 Pts Vs Feb
Australia's services sector recorded slower growth in March due to a softening in business conditions, a performance gauge produced by an industry group published Wednesday shows.
The Australian Industry Group-Commonwealth Bank Performance of Services Index fell 3.9 points in March from February to 50.6 points.
The result was marginally above the 50.0 level separating expansion from contraction. Sales and new orders grew for a third consecutive month, though at a slower pace than in previous results.
Concerns about future interest rate rises and a soft housing market were the chief reasons respondents took a gloomier view of conditions in the services sector.
"The improving tone in the services sector readings evident early in 2007 looks to have stumbled on renewed interest rate fears," said Michael Blythe, chief economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Probably 70/00 will cover the range on the day.
Like Aussie we'll getter a better idea of the medium term later today when Europe enters the fray.
Over the last few weeks both currencies rallied strongly from their lows and institutions such as Citi, Merrils and Swiss names have been buyers. Central banks were sellers further up. So where we are now at 0.8085 and 0.7175 is probably middle of the range. If I were in the shoes of those buyers I'd look to take some profit and try to buy back lower down. It's going to be a month until the next rtae decision so the closer we get to that the more speculation there will be of an increase which will increase the buying. Because we don't get a statement unless there is a change we have to interpret it ourselves.
At these levels the R/R doesn't look as good as it did Monday.

Australia's Howard Says Markets Overreacting To Iran
Australian Prime Minister John Howard Wednesday said financial markets were overreacting to the situation in Iran and unnecessarily driving oil prices higher.
Howard said Iran's defiance of the U.N. and the capture of 15 British naval personnel had made markets "very nervous that something big will happen in Iran," a major producer of crude oil.
"I don't believe that nervousness is justified," Howard told 5AA radio station in Adelaide.
"But you know what financial markets are like; they're very fickle beasts and they do tend to overreact to things."
Howard said the domestic retail price of fuel generally tracked movements in the price of crude oil.
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission has been asked to monitor retail fuel prices over the Easter holiday season.

Aussie Money Mkt Undecided On RBA's Next Move
Growing indecision in Australian money market on likely direction for next rate call after RBA's on-hold decision, with most-traded June 2007 IB cash future at 93.75, rallying from 93.614 prior to announcement at 2330 GMT, suggesting opinion evenly split over whether RBA will hike rates at May meeting. "We're unclear if it was a close decision and the market is in no better position now as we were going into it," says Andrew Kennedy, credit analyst at ABN AMRO; "I still think people are very, very uncertain as to what happens from here."

Japan will remove restrictions on triangular mergers in May which will make it easier for foreign companies to buy Japanese companies...
Regardless of "carry" wouldn't this suggest that the month of April would be devoted to amassing a war chest of cheap Yen?
