Outlooks
Event risk today: Looking ahead today, Australian terms of trade and building permits are minor movers. Most important will be tonight�s ECB meeting, a rate cut expected. NZD/USD should push below 0.8480 given the weak run of global data during the past few days.

cable failed at 15506 50% fibo and has retreated markedly. Tomorrow will be an important day. If tomorrows high is in the region of current levels (5550/70) then we could be looking at some multiday weakness in the pair with initial risk down to 15400. Fibo needs to ne taken to negate risk to downside.

dovish wording is what consensus is looking for, to what extent we get this will make itself known when the statement is released. i think usdjpy has capacity to run towards 96 area but there will be plenty of buyers down there as always on dips and think that would be a good trade down there particularly if you are already short usd elsewhere. think euro may well hit stops above 13250 but may struggle to hold gains as i expect some will sell there into tomorrows rates decision - it does depend a lot on what is said by the fed but you have to expect some to take positions at 2 month highs and this may hinder progress. pmi does come ahead of the meeting and might offer a good opportunity but does depend on where the pair is at the time tomorrow morning.

Stop us when all of this sounds familiar.
High-speed traders are using a hidden facet of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's computer system to trade on the direction of the futures market before other investors get the same information.
..............profit from their ability to detect when their own orders for certain commodities are executed a fraction of a second before the rest of the market sees that data......
use these early looks at CME trading data in several ways. One strategy is to post buy and sell orders a few pennies from where the market is trading and wait until one of the orders is executed. If crude oil is selling for $90 on the CME, a firm might post an order to sell one contract for $90.03 and a buy order for $89.97.
If the sell order suddenly hits, the firm's computers detect that oil prices have swung higher. Those computers can instantly buy more of the same contract before other traders are even aware of the first move.

crude plunge
the DOE just released a much higher than expected build in crude inventories that took the stuffed-channel of oil products to all-time highs. The 395.3 million barrels is higher than the previous record in July 1990. There appears to be a number of factors at play - none of which are positive.
But perhaps most important, as EIA data has shown, there has been a collapse in end demand for crude products not seen since the 1990s.

Washington�s economists had told us to expect a top line number +5.0, a moderate drop from last month�s +7.4 ... we saw a drop to -15.6 ... and any reading above zero indicates economic expansion, and any reading below zero represents contraction � the required signal of the beginning of a recession ... and this wasn�t just one small piece of the puzzle that could be ignored �
- Production fell from +9.9 to -0.5.
- The shipments sub-component fell from +10.6 to -0.4.
- And looking forward, index�s new orders sub-component fell from +8.7 to -4.9 ...
result - new high :) ... well, right now, you/we just can�t fight an organization that can get away with inventing a trillion dollars a year ... and "central bank stock support" is just another name for monopoly ...

euro res at 13200/20/30. Common held view (not mine btw) that this region marks top. so should hold until fomc barring data surprises this afternoon. but an eventual break will see a lot of stops (certain most pain in this direction) and could see 13350 by end of week. need an event for this to happen tho imo as too much sell interest as is.

more and more talk of fed possibly talking about adding to QE rather than tapering. sparse last week, more apparent this week amongst ivb comment. this is lending support to euro and cable. cips man pmi in 15 minutes is a risk factor for cable but should be supported lower down in event of any soft number (exp 48.6 prev 48.3), with markets expectation of dovish fomc this evening, this should keep cap on dollar at least until adp and ism this afternoon. adp will be closely watched as a hint towards fridays non farms but any strong number can be faded (timing will be required possibly tomorrow) as non farm are probably going to surprise on downside given speed of falloff in other datas.

China Manufacturing Growth Slows In April
Reply
Chinese manufacturing activity expanded at a slower rate in April, as new orders and production growth eased, underpinning concerns that the recovery at the world's second largest economy still remained fragile.
The purchasing managers' index that measures the performance of the manufacturing sector, fell to 50.6 in April from 50.9 in March, a survey by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, or CFLP, and the National Bureau of Statistics revealed Wednesday.
Economists expected a slightly higher reading of 50.7. Readings above 50 indicates expansion of the sector. The PMI has now remained in the growth zone for seven consecutive months.
The growth in new orders moderated, with the corresponding index falling to 51.7 from 52.3 in March. The production index dropped to 52.6 from 52.7 in the preceding month.
Preliminary results of a survey by Markit Economics and HSBC released last month also suggested that the rate of growth of the manufacturing sector eased, mainly reflecting a fall in new export orders.
The government aims a 7.5 percent expansion in GDP this year after growth plunged to a 13-year low of 7.8 percent in 2012.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund expects China to grow 8 percent this year and by 8.2 percent in 2014, weaker than previously forecast. The World Bank also cut its 2013 growth outlook for the economy to 8.3 percent.

TD you miss the point of the word "end". The double top you see is therefore not a 2x top. I have suggested a crystal clear entry point on the DX that allows entry in the direction of the prevailing trend on strength nothing more nothing less and I qualified the statement by saying that whilst it was below you may well be right your view

Medicare levy hike to fund NDIS:
Reply
The federal government will partially fund its National Disability Insurance Scheme through a 0.5 percentage point increase to the medicare levy, The Australian Financial Review reports.
According to the newspaper, the increase will raise $3.2 billion per year, which is roughly 40 per cent of the estimated $8 billion of extra funding required annually to fund the NDIS.
It is understood the prime minister may make the announcement as early as today during an address in Melbourne.
The AFR reports the government considered a range of funding options including a separate NDIS levy and an incremental increase to marginal income tax rates, before settling on a lift to Medicare levy.

NDIS only half-funded: Abbott
Reply
AAP
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says the government needs to reveal how it will fund the entire national disability care scheme and not just half of it.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard today announced the Medicare levy would be lifted from 1.5 per cent to two per cent to raise around $3.2 billion towards the $8 billion a year scheme.
Mr Abbott told reporters in the southwestern Victorian town of Casterton that he was pleased to see the details of the levy, but Ms Gillard's announcement raised more questions.
"If you are only going to half-fund the scheme, presumably you are only going to half deliver it," he said.
"It is incumbent on the prime minister to tell us exactly where the rest of the money is coming from."
Mr Abbott said the prime minister should bring the legislation to parliament in the coming session and not wait until after the September election.
"If she's fair dinkum why not do it in this parliament?" Mr Abbott said.
Mr Abbott left it open for the coalition to support any legislation before the September election.
"If I thought it was responsibly funded, yes (the coalition would vote for the laws)," he said.
"But let's get the detail. She's given us half the detail, half the funding, let's see the rest of it."
Asked if he supported a Medicare levy rise, Mr Abbott said: "I support a responsibly funded scheme ... but (a levy) is only half funding the scheme."
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey earlier said he did not believe the scheme would improve productivity and that a rise in the Medicare levy would hurt business and consumer confidence.
Mr Abbott said the disability care scheme would help productivity, although his paid parental leave scheme was a more obvious productivity measure.
"I think there are other measures which are probably more obviously productivity measures, such as the paid parental leave scheme, but nevertheless over time a national disability insurance scheme will certainly help with productivity," he said.
Mr Abbott wants about 3000 big businesses to pay an annual levy of 1.5 per cent to support his proposed parental leave scheme.
The scheme would pay mothers taking six months leave up to $75,000.

That's not true.
The 0.5% NDIS levy is an election issue. Labor has to be re-elected or the coalition has to adopt the policy for it to be introduced in the next parliament.

AL, i was just about pointing as well re. weighting of DX, that has been a problem IMHO as euro has big weighting, global game has changed and DX should reflect this, so there is a fundamental flaw in basing our analytics on DX itself.
Re. jpy, i can't see how that will change much of DX, simple because euro's weighting is much greater than usdjpy, even if usdjpy goes up that should purely based on jpy play will also push eurjpy up which in the end will help push euro up. So all in all, given euro's weighting is much larger will push DX down

Manufacturing slumps to GFC lows
Buying above 82.03 is a sensible r/r last 81.765 that would approximate Euro around 1.3110 below which opens a re-test of the DX highs and/or Euro lows. Whilst DX is below then your view may well be right but I prefer to look at the big picture which says that since 2008 everyone has been bearish the USD however the game changer this year was BoJ and the upside tgts for UsdJpy are 94/100/102/108/113/115/122 and possibly 149. The weaker Jpy alone would force the DX much higher than you might expect despite its wheighting being relatively small

Dollar slumps as Chicago PMI unexpectedly dropped
The greenback dropped against majority of its peers after U.S. Chicago PMI unexpectedly fell to its lowest level in 3 years, increasing speculation the Federal Reserve will maintain its bond buying under QE program as policymakers began a 2-day FOMC meeting today.
U.S. Chicago PMI fell to 49 in April, the lowest since September 2009, from 52.4 last month.
Although the single currency traded sideways in Asian morning and rose briefly to 1.3121 ahead of European open, price dropped to session low at 1.3052 in European morning after the released of weaker-than-expected Germany retail sales before recovering to 1.3084. Price jumped in New York morning and rose to an intra-day high at 1.3186 on dollar's broad-based weakness after U.S. Chicago PMI unexpectedly dropped to its lowest level in 3 years. Later, euro pared intra-day gains and retreated to 1.3146 at New York midday before stabilising.
Germany retail sales were reported at -0.5% m/m, lower than forecasts of 0.0%.
Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback remained under pressure in Asia and weakened to 97.61 in European morning before staging a recovery to 97.79 in New York morning. Dollar fell briefly but sharply to an intra-day low at 96.99 after the release of weak U.S. Chicago PMI, however, price pared intra-day losses and rebounded to 97.62 in New York afternoon.
The British pound traded with a firm undertone in Asia and edged higher to 1.5507 ahead of European open. Despite a brief pullback to 1.5474 ahead of New York open, price rallied to an intra-day high at 1.5570 in New York morning on dollar's weakness. However, cable pared intra-day gains and retreated to 1.5529 in New York afternoon before stabilising.
In other news, U.K.'s Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said 'particularly important' that FPC gives due weight to impact of actions on near-term economic recovery.' Italy's Silvio Berlusconi said 'must re-negotiate deficit commitments made with EU; cannot be part of government that does not abolish IMU housing tax.'
On the data front, U.S. consumer confidence is released at 68.1, vs the expectation of 60.8, prior reading is revised to 61.9. EU unemployment in Mar came in 12.1%, worse than the forecast of 12.0%.
Data to be released on Wednesday:
Australia new home sales, manufacturing PMI, UK manufacturing PMI, U.S. ADP employment, manufacturing PMI, construction spending, ISM manufacturing and Fed rate decision.
