Dow Jones] NZ's November retail sales up sharply, rising well above market expectations, led by record gasoline sales, strong automobile retailing; outcome may be viewed with some trepidation by RBNZ as it faces several inflation headwinds, with 4Q data out yesterday showing annual CPI breaching central bank's 1%-3% target range. Statistics NZ says seasonally adjusted sales up 2% on-month vs October's 0.6% drop, expected +0.7% - biggest monthly rise in 8 months; core sales also up 0.9% vs expected +0.6%. Fuel sales up 9% - biggest rise since data series started in 1995. In core category, supermarket and grocery foods were up, while appliances sales also posted partial recovery. Data unlikely to alter widespread expectations of a no-change verdict at next week's rate review; but central bank will stay alert to any further upside surprises on consumption as it battles to bring inflation under control

ewavers might be looking for a 3-3-5 on EURUSD 4H chart from 1.4825 high. Implying a 5 wave drop from 1.4922.
This is a bullish set up which keeps the pair in trend so fibo extensions may come in handy.
The 4H chart does not yet show 5 clear waves down, the 1H does from 1.4922. I'd wait in case we have another sharp sub 1.4590 fall and get in at around 1.4515 area.
Bull target at around 1.5160. A sharp drop caused by eurgbp
revisiting .07330/50 area of support would not surprise me.
There is a case for a buy entry and may be large spike low of some
sort.

Heads up on the Euro:
We have retraced to the 38.2 pct fibo lvl from move of 1.4921-1.4589 and we are coming to a point on an ascending triangle, so it appears that a breakout is imminent.
Watch for a break below 1.4680 or for a break above 1.4700.

HK Kevin 16:48 GMT - Hi Kevin, the tone is bearish for carry trading as more lost reported by Big Boys on Subprime. AUDJPY is capped by 95.50. Someone (reported by my platform that it may be subprime name, LOL, actually I dont know who they are. If they are carry traders, their scenario is not in good state as I perceived. ) is guarding the AUDJPY at level 94.00. Anyway, IMO, sell on rally especially timeframe now to 06:00 EST. Carry traders may fight back as they expect Friday Fed may cut rate. If position is not good, better stay out. For NZDUSD, if breaking 0.7630, it may go to test 200DMA as it is forming a round top of 0.7900. GLGT.

btw - what fits a stoxx rebound might be the USDCHF reversal yesterday off the NOv 21 low ~~1.09...
this puts credibility to rebound in EURCHF & GBPCHF crosses..

tnx for your view!
looks PAR is on track - - seems like after yesterday JPM and Wells Fargo beat estimates .. the worse is done and maybe we will see some bottom picking ----
which translates in risk apetite = shorting the Yen (long USDJPY)
I'm happy I saw today's low at 106 .80 held - - this makes yesterday Tweezer Bottom (close=open) and a possible reversal in USDJPY...

Bernanke and Trichet live on different planets .
Bernanke from Venus is pro lower interest rates and pro fiscal stimulus even as Us unemployment is very low by historical standards.
Trichet from Mars ( even being French ) is contra lower interest rates and contra fiscal stimulus while european unemployment ( excluding government and european bureaucrat employment) unemployment is sky high.
Only european banks can reckon on Trichets unconditional support . Even if because of their mistakes they need $ half a trillion .

Helicopter Ben says he can support adding(increasing) demand (from budget deficit) to alter demand/supply balance despite 4,1% inflation. Prices change according to demand/supply balance and will get additional boost. Priorities clearly changed. Maybe that is the way to go to save our world(anybody watching HEROS series on TV) from debt burden. After some years with high inflation, you simply denominate, par example 1000 USD = 1 new USD.

* NYT: Fed Chair Ben Bernanke has told lawmakers that he can support short-term tax cuts or spending measures to stimulate the economy, even if they increase the budget deficit, as long as the measures are quick and temporary.
* The Fed's willingness to give a nod to fiscal stimulus is important, both because many lawmakers will not support action without the chairman's blessing, and because the double dose of stimulus that the Fed and Congress are considering must be carefully calibrated.
* WSJ: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to offer his support for an economic-stimulus package in his testimony today before Congress. (1500GMT in Washington)
* ECB Pres Jean-Claude Trichet: higher inflation due to oil, commodities,food prices, second round effects must be avoided.
* WSJ: Grip on Freddie, Fannie May Ease Policy Shift Reflects Firms' Importance Amid Housing Woes. The Bush administration appears to be softening its regulatory grip on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, reflecting a growing reliance on the companies to provide money for home mortgages as other investors retreat.
* WSJ: Dimon May Be Huntin. J.P. Morgan CEO 'Open' to Deals In the Credit-Crunched Jungle. It's time to pounce for J.P. Morgan Chase James Dimon and other top bosses of financial companies that have avoided a serious battering from the credit crunch. Mr. Dimon has long coveted institutions like Atlanta's SunTrust Banks Inc. and Washington Mutual Inc. of Seattle.
* Mr. Dimon might even be tempted to take a hard look at firms such as Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns.
* Another nervous day, though Greenback starts on a firmer note, after EUR selloff on back of ECB Mersch comments yesterday. Greenback, and Cross/JPY, JPY carry trades seen a tad supported on hopes a "combo" of fiscal stimulus (talks $100-120bln) + Fed rate cuts monetary stimulus will boost the slowing economy.
* News that JP Morgan is looking for deals and also loser grip on Fannie Mae and Freddic Mac also seen helping sentiment, with focus on soothing comments tonight from Fed Chair Ben Bernanke - for his assessment of the economy and whether he will "rule" out a US recession, eye rate cut quantums.
* USD/JPY rose initially in early trading on back of US investments houses buying to 107.35-40, before Japanese investors, banks sold them down toward fixing of 107.13 - with some suggestions flows could be linked to JPY repatriation ahead of FY07/08 end in March - though seem a tad early.
USD/JPY rose on back of Japan, asset managers buying to 107.25-30, then again as stock markets turned down, led by China after PBoC reserve ratio hike to 15% yest.
It rebounded again as both Nikkei and Topix stage strong rebound. USD/JPY offers from exporters at 107.40-60, but stoploss building above 107.60, next key 108, with huge stoploss on break, could open way for test of 110 handle.
EUR finding support at 1.4630-50, offers 1.47, supported now on back of EUR/JPY buying as Cross/JPY all looking firmer, helped by improved sentiment ahead of Fed Bernanke.
Cable range bound, bids at 1.96, with EUR/GBP lower after steep dive from near all time highs, with Cable edging up as GBP/JPY extends recovery from 206.95 lows.
AUD edging back up to day highs again on back of AUD/JPY buying interest, after losing its jobs inspired gains but talks real demand at 0.8780 lows.
Kiwi supported earlier on firmer CPI, NZD/JPY now firmer at 82.65-70, supported ahead of >NZD1bln worth of 5 Uridashi issues next week.
USD/CHF off its all time lows 1.0838 yest, now firmer at 1.1006-10, and EUR/CHF back up at 1.6135-40, form yesterday's 10-month lows of 1.6085, with focus on Feb 27 UBS shareholders meet on CHF13b Cash injection from GIC/ ME investors.
All eyes on Fed Bernanke/ ECB Trichet, US stocks.
Nikkei recovers to close firmer, +2.07% or +278.94pts at 13,873.45 JGBs lower, 10-yr yield +0.020% at 1,400%.
Crude a tad soft below $91 at $90.93.

March Nikkei 225 futures end morning up and may gain more in afternoon as investors feel market oversold in recent sessions, says trader. Further gains in USD/JPY also likely to spur on more buying of stock futures. Lead contract up 180 points, or 1.3%, at 13670 midday.

AUD Technical analysis
The correction from last year’s high at 0.9400 is textbook stuff despite thin year-end conditions. Weak bullish momentum yet the Australian dollar is creeping steadily higher this month and looks set to up the pace a bit on a weekly close above 0.9000. The long term trend is to generalised and possibly chronic US dollar weakness so we feel the Australian dollar should rally to 0.9400/0.9500 in Q1 2008.
Buying the New Zealand dollar on Q3 2007’s vicious sell-off was one of our better ideas and we continue to feel that Kiwi can and will move higher still. Amid generalised US dollar selling we expect a re-test of Q2 1982’s high at 0.8270. Note that between 1975 and 1980 it held around parity before March 1985’s floating regime was introduced with a devaluation to 0.4400. A monthly close above 0.7800 should set off the next rally, probably sooner rather than later considering we have wasted the last three months consolidating under 0.7900. Our upside targets are 0.8500

It is a queue. One after another, first gbp, eur, aud and other cousins follow.
In relative term. Gbp has already a large part of the job. I think the extent it to go lower relative less than others.
Also, those early birds have run already more than 1000 pips, no point to risk the profit at hands and can choose another cargo.
I would keep an eye when it would start a real rebound.

SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--Australian consumer inflationary expectations rose to 4.4% in January from 4.1% in December, according to a survey by the Melbourne Institute published Thursday. The survey, which measures median inflation expectations, is a closely watched indicator of the mood among consumers toward the outlook for prices, which can affect pay demands. Increasing inflationary expectations come despite two interest rate hikes in late 2007, one served up by the Reserve Bank of Australia just ahead of a Nov. 24 federal election. "Although the interest rate hike in November curbed inflationary expectations in November and December, expectations rose again this month. Inflationary expectations have now been running over 4% since October," said Sam Tsiaplias, a research fellow with the institute.
Uncertainty regarding future inflation rates also reached a record high in January, he added.
