#EURUSD I would have liked to have seen more of a move in EURUSD today, but we have to take what we can get. As Jay always says, you should try to trade from the strong side of the market and with spot EURUSD below the 20-day average, the "stronger" positions have been the shorts until now.

Deutsche Bank Suspends Traders Amid Foreign Exchange Investigations
Reply
LONDON � Deutsche Bank has suspended several traders amid a series of investigations into potential manipulation of the $5-trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, according to a person briefed on the matter.
The traders who were placed on leave worked in the German bank�s offices in New York, the person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said on Wednesday.
The suspensions are the latest development in a series of inquiries that have again raised questions about the global banking industry. More than a dozen traders at some of the world�s largest banks have been placed on leave amid questions about whether they colluded to fix benchmark currency rates.
Deutsche Bank, the largest trader of currencies with about 15.2 percent of the market, said it was cooperating with the investigations and would �take disciplinary action with regards to individuals if merited.�
The German newspaper Die Welt reported that at least one trader who worked in New York and traded Argentine pesos had been suspended.
Authorities in the United States, Britain, Switzerland and Hong Kong have all begun investigations, which are in the early stages.
Many of the world�s largest banks, including Citigroup, Barclays and UBS, have acknowledged that they are subject to those inquiries. Neither the banks nor any of the traders who have been suspended have been accused of wrongdoing.
Since the investigations became public, several banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, have restricted the ability of traders to engage in chat rooms where traders from their banking rivals are present.
The investigation has focused on a series of instant messages that earned traders at various banks the nickname �the cartel.�

#TradingIdeas - When I look at changes in the USD value of the majors today (EUR,CHF, GBP, JPY), net changes in all the pairs are minimal, except in the EURUSD which has eased by 62 pips. Spot EURUSD (1.3610) has distanced itself below the 20-day average (1.3675). This provides a momentum point (20-day avg) to watch today, which could influence the overall TONE of the market.

Reuters story...
USD/CNY's managed decline continues, as the USD rises, the Fed tapers and the U.S. economy improves. Whether the trend alone is a factor for EUR/USD traders to fret over is debatable. The impact of the spin-offs to a managed USD/CNY fall is certainly a factor for EUR/USD traders to ponder. The FX reserve rose by USD 500 billion in 2013, near double levels deemed too large by China. Diversification is therefore certain, and the euro's liquidity makes it the most attractive alternate. Where euro purchases were once restricted to buying weakness during the crisis, the easing of stress in the euro zone, which has other investors seeing the high yields of peripheral bonds attractive, surely makes the euro an even more attractive buy for the world's biggest reserve manager. With dips less frequent and shallow, diversification may have a rising influence, especially as interventions picked up massively in Q4.

sf, you need to be careful equating futuresd to ash equities as it depends on what the fair value is ahead of the opening. Futures could be +20 but that equates to a negatuive cash opening or vice versa. No cloue what the current fair vakue is today but CNBC does post it for the various indices before the opening.

UK fin min fires warning shots at the EU

UK chancellor George Osborne will today make a speech to a group of Eurosceptics in which he claims that the EU is falling behind India and China in its reforms and must step up to the plate if it wants to halt the decline
We can�t go on like this.
The biggest economic risk facing Europe doesn�t come from those who want reform and renegotiation, it comes from a failure to reform and renegotiate.It is the status quo which condemns the people of Europe to an ongoing economic crisis and continuing decline
Today�s speech comes after the Tory leadership rejected a call from 95 of its MPs to allow Parliament to block EU laws.Earlier this week Foreign Secretary William Hague said the European Union�s rules had to be followed by all its members and the backbenchers� plan was unworkable

My thoughts are .. $yen the slower it rises the further it goes
Nomura was saying they expected to see 105.50 with in 5 trading days
Futures in USA are +20 .. So on the day I guess we will test 104.60/70 and collect any weak trading stops... Sitting above 104.50
No idea eurusd .. Seems such a waste of time at the moment.

AceTrader Jan 15: Dollar strengthens against the yen after upbeat U.S. retail sales

Market Review - 14/01/2014 21:42GMT
Dollar strengthens against the yen after upbeat U.S. retail sales
U.S. dollar rose against the Japanese yen on Tuesday after data showed that U.S. retail sales increased more than expected in December, bolstering the outlook for the economy going into 2014.
Versus the Japanese yen, dollar found support at 103.02 at Asian open on Tuesday and climbed higher to 103.52 after data showed that trade deficit in the Japan widened to 1,254.3 billion yen in November, price later dropped to 103.23 at Asian midday but only to rally to as high as 104.29 near New York close due to the release of better-than-expected U.S. retail sales data.
The Commerce Department said U.S. retail sales rose 0.2% last month, beating expectations for a 0.1% increase. Core retail sales, which exclude automobile sales, climbed 0.7% in December, above forecasts for a 0.4% increase.
The single currency traded sideways against the dollar in Asia and then dropped to 1.3649 shortly after European opening, however, 'euro-supportive' comments from European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny lifted price sharply higher to 1.3699 in European morning but profit-taking ahead of 1.3700 pressured price lower ahead of New York open. Later, euro briefly fell to 1.3658 after release of upbeat U.S. retail sales and then traded sideways for rest of New York session.
European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny said on Tuesday that 'there was a potential upside to the ECB�s growth forecast for this year. The ECB revised its growth forecast for 2014 slightly higher in December, saying it now expects growth of 1.1%.'
The British pound moved in a choppy fashion versus the dollar on Tuesday. Cable dropped to 1.6368 in early European trading and then rose sharply to 1.6447 in tandem with euro and active cross buying in sterling in European morning, price then swiftly tanked to 1.6396 after the U.K. inflation data but later rose further to 1.6465 in New York before retreating.
On the data front, U.K. reported that the annual rate of consumer inflation rose 2.0% in December, slowing from 2.1% in November. It was the first time since 2009 that the U.K. inflation rate was in line with the Bank of England�s official target of 2%.
In the other news, Fed's Plosser says 'prefers to end bond purchases before late 2014; economy 'on firmer footing than it has been for the past several years; expects 6.2% U.S. unemployment by year end; rise in inflation toward 2%; Dec jobs growth likely hit by cold weather; drop in workforce participation mostly driven by demographics.'
Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said on Tuesday that "the droves of Americans dropping out of the work force may not be a problem that needs to be fixed with policies; the U.S. labor force participation rate, or the proportion of working-age Americans who have a job or are looking for one, fell 0.2 percentage point to 62.8 percent in December, returning to the more than 35-year low hit in October."
Data to be released on Wednesday:
Japan machine tools orders, Germany GDP, Swiss retail sales, EU trade balance, US empire state mfg, PPI, Fed releases Beige Book report and Canada existing home sales.
