Agree or Disagree? EURUSD

EUROZONE MANUFACTURING DATA COULD FUEL QE SPECULATION

The EURUSD declined sharply on Wednesday as Janet Yellen took the stage, and look set to log a daily close below key long term support at 1.3661. For a while now we have been watching this level as on that could possibly represent a completion of the three month double top, and today�s action could be the catalyst behind a short entry with an initial downside target at 1.3593. Don�t be surprised if the pair corrects to retest broken support short term, but look for miss in tomorrow�s PMI releases to strengthen it as in term resistance and validate the aforementioned 1.3593 target.

Let's try it with specific currencies so it is easier to pick out the topic.

Agree or disagree.

EURUSD will not extend its 7 day pattern around 1.37 today. The best chance of this happening is if flash PMIs exceed forecasts and EURUSD pops up on the data. This would be an opportunity to sell unless it gets back above 1.3735. Currently, 1.3688 blocks return to 1.37.

By the way, it did reach an initial target of 1.3635 (low 1.3633) = 200 day mva where it bounced from.

Current breakdown level was .9325 so market trades bearish while below it but a bit too far for a stop.

On the other side, I pay notice when a pivotal big figure holds (e.g. .9200) so will focus on .9250 initially as it sets the tone while within .9200-.9300

My question is whether we have seen a short-term bottom or a pause enroute to .8990-00

Sentiment improved overnight. There were no surprises from either the FOMC minutes or Fed Chair Yellen's speech (which refrained from monetary policy comment). There was a brief knee-jerk bounce in US interest rates (and dip in equities) following the minutes which revealed a range of tools to normalise policy were discussed, but further reading showed nothing was decided and markets settled

imo its all about valuations. money holds no prejudice, you buy cheap and sell high. there are a few markets you can put money to work in based on that one argument but all have drawbacks/risks as of now, so valuations may need to get surpressed a bit further before they are tempting enough possibly. i am involved in eastern europe and i can say the while the bottom is probably in, its going to take a year or two before hot money returns. but this time think you will need to seperate eastern europe, as not all states have solid fundamentals. i am hoping this ukraine standoff gives an opportunity to enter at prices not seen for 10 years. we are still some way off, but if we get there buying at 10 year lows/spreads rarely fails to pay off.
as for the majors, you really cant look past the uk/gbp, although the mpc is doing its best to tell you otherwise.

Mr. Bernanke�s actions were courageous and �unprecedented in ambition and scope,� Ms. Yellen told a swirl of thousands of purple-robed graduates and their families who were gathered in the stands of Yankee Stadium for the ceremony.

�He faced relentless criticism, personal threats, and the certainty that history would judge him harshly if he were wrong,� she said. �But he stood up for what he believed was right and necessary. Ben Bernanke�s intelligence and knowledge served him well as chairman.�

The main takeaway from the Minutes is that Ben's assurance that the exit from the Money Swamp would be "no problem" has morphed into a plea for "a Map, any Map" -- they went into this with neither plan nor concern for consequences so they prefer to stand still "for an extended period" and try to convince the market that this is a plan

Windows 8 with TPM 2.0 allows Microsoft to control the computer remotely through a built-in backdoor.

. Its purpose is Digital Rights Management and computer security. The system decides what software was legally obtained and allows it to run; and it disables other software, such as bootlegged copies or viruses. The process is governed by Windows, and through remote access, by Microsoft.

What is new about TPM 2.0 is that it�s activated by default when the computer boots up. The user cannot turn it off. Microsoft decides what software can run on the computer, and the user cannot influence it. Windows governs TPM 2.0. What Microsoft does remotely is not visible to the user. Users of Windows 8 with TPM 2.0 surrender control over their machines the moment they turn it on.

Interesting, The S&P futures came down to 101.00 in USDJPY on my overlay chart. At that point, USDJPY popped above 101.00 and the S&P traded higher. Now the two are back in their "normal" lock-step. Hard to figure. Its like these markets are just a succession of set-ups?

USDJPY 200-day average now 101.28 spot USDJPY now BELOW all moving averages 5 thru 200 days. Price behavior supportive of chatter that some central banks have been transferring funds out of EUR and into JPY. Perhaps this is anticipation of negative EZ interest rates in just over two weeks?

Trading spot using crosses for a clue (example)

Market is shunning the EUR ahead of the ECB and AUD is becoming suspect but market is not rushing into USD - GBP and JPY are the cross beneficiaries.

When those currencies find support vs. the USD, the weaklings tend to get hit.

After USDJPY dipped below 101.00 (currently holding as resistance) , the S&P followed the pair lower but since has been working steadily higher. This has set up a clear divergence between the two and perhaps a tug-o-war?


The DOW and S&P mini futures are both higher.

Note also the 1.3700 level in EURUSD remains magnetic.

The GBP is up vs. the EUR following blow-out (strong) UK retail sales data earlier. In the current environment, we have wonder how far the GBP can diverge from the EUR?

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

21 May 2014 08:37GMT

GBP/USD - 1.6913... BoE releases its meeting minutes, which state 'MPC voted 9-0 to keep rates unchanged; for some MPC members, decision on whether to raise rates becoming more balanced; all members agree need to see more evidence of slack reducing before raising rates; considerable uncertainty n range of views about BoE's 1-1.5% of GDP estimate of slack; cud be argued that the more gradual the intended rise in rates, the earlier BoE needs to start; but premature rise in rates cud also risk a substantial cost in lost output; raising rates slowly carries greater risk of housing mkt imbalances, but mitigating this is FPC role; sterling above top of post-crisis range, mkt contacts note due to stronger growth in UK than elsewhere; nearly all sterling appreciation likely to be passed into lower prices, but firms may instead increase profit margins.'

Cable edges higher ahead of Asian lunch break in tandem with eur/usd. Sterling was bot broadly at European open on Tue as st specs were looking for U.K. Apr inflation data to show a small increase. Although cable briefly jumped to 1.6870 (Reuters) after CPI ticked higher abv prev. reading of 1.6% to 1.8% (consensus was 1.7%), however, profit-taking quickly emerged, price retreated to 1.6822 at NY open n ratcheted higher to 1.6849 b4 moving narrowly in NY afternoon.

Although Asian traders are on the sideline as market keenly awaits the release of BoE MPC minutes n the Apr retail sales, the retail sales data are expected to show strg growth (MoM ex-auto forecast is 0.5% n YoY ex-auto is 5.4% vs prev. readings of -0.4% %& 4.2% resp.), so cable is likely to maintain a biddish tone into the figure n we may well see a repeat of y'day's price action i.e briefly higher n then coming off after the release.
Bids are noted at 1.6830-20 n more below with stops reported below 1.6800. Offers are tipped at 1.6860/70 n more abv with some stops touted abv 1.6900.

retail sales are expected to be boosted year on year due to late easter effect. however brc sales released earlier painted a different picture, with sales lower.
these two dont always go hand in hand but does suggest some caution as it appears market is set for a big number.
re mpc minutes, the risk is of disappointment and a 9-0 print, with little talk of dissent but continued talk of working through slack. admittedly recent data which the mpc was not privy to have been a bit softer than at the time of the meet, but its not likely to have been enough at the time to sway from the to date theme.

Belt-tightening ahead as real wages fall
Reply   
Families are expected to cut spending further as wage growth plunges to its lowest in 17 years.
Households were already preparing to tighten their wallets following the Abbott government's tough budget, which led to consumer confidence falling at its fastest rate since before the financial crisis.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on USD/JPY - 101.27

Update Time: 21 May 2014 01:24 GMT


Dollar retreated after meeting renewed selling at 101.60 in Asian morning on Tuesday suggests the recovery from Monday's fresh 3-1/2 month high at 101.10 has possibly ended and erratic decline from April's high at 104.13 should resume for weakness to said level, below would encourage for a re-test of this year's low at 100.76 (February).

On the upside, only above 101.83 (being 38.2% are of intermediate decline from 103.02) would signal temporary low is made and risk stronger bounce to 102.12 and 102.36 resistance.
