FWIW: Russia ready to use national currency in settlements under international contract
Reply   

ST. PETERSBURG, May 24 /ITAR-TASS/. Russia is ready to use its national currency in settlements under international contracts but is not going to give up settlements in dollars or euros, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Nebenzya told Itar-Tass on Friday on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

�We have already said that we will use national currencies where it is appropriate, but no one is going to drop traditional currency units, such dollars or euros,� he said when asked about possible use of the Russian rouble in conditions of Western sanctions.

�We are open for all,� he stressed. �We have no prejudices, neither do we want to punish anybody, unlike those who want to punish us but would rather punish themselves instead.
....................................................................................

The least to say; Not too good and supportive for USD strength.

Risk On/Off Heat Map


  • Late in European trading, markets appear to be very cautious into the long U.K. and U.S. weekends.
  • Yields in prime fixed income markets are steady to mixed as equities stabilize  Yields on bonds on the periphery of the Eurozone have turned sharply lower.
  • Equities mostly rallied in the Far East earlier. European bourses are closing higher, except for the FTSE. U.S. equines are currently trading higher.
  • The U.S. 10-yr is 2.53%, -2bp.

    The heat map color scheme of interest rates reflects yields. This aligns all the colors in the chart to reflect risk-on (green) and risk-off(red).

April 2014 U.S. New Home Sales

A pet peeve I have on data releases is that many analysts only look at the last two months data when providing an analysis. We try to look back in the data for trends.

Look at the chart. New Home Sales are basically flat and are still well below mid-2013 highs. At one time they ran steadily at almost three times current levels, so there is a long way to go.

USDJPY bounded nicely today by level one of pivot support/resistance.

GVIForex Jay Meisler 12:04 GMT May 23, 2014
Agree or Disagree? EURUSD

EURUSD avg daily range for 5 and 30 days is 58 pips and that is skewed up by the occasional news driven day. There have been more than enough sub-50 pip range days than any of us like. it used to be a daily range was 100 pips and shows how volatility has shrunk.

Even today, d the excitement of the 100 day mva breaking and a new low, the range has been just 38 pips.

Maybe this reflects a market noi longer USD centric and cross currency flows limiting spot ranges as market gets pulled in both directions.

By the way 38.2% of 1.3688-1.3615 is 1.3643. Not a forecast.

Agree or Disagree? EURUSD

fwiw- Although CPI data today are key for Canada, they are not likely to have any immediate impact on policy. U.S. New Homes sales are a second-tier piece of data, so I do not see much additional market impact from news today.

Otherwise, the German IFO Survey earlier fell short of expectations and can only reinforce expectations for ECB ease in two weeks time. The EURUSD already reacted negatively to the news. Ironically, the DAX has rallied on the IFO data on hopes for an ECB easing. One key focus is the 1.3638 200-day average.

it is Friday, US and UK are closed Monday, many are already gone so expect a thin market with many heading for the exits early.

Close will be important today vs. the 100 day mva at 1.3638 but bearish tilt as long as 1.3650+ doesn't trade.

EU elections over the weekend might grab some headlines. Interesting that Ukraine vote has gotten practically no attention.

EURUSD column is all RED except for 200-day average which is 1.3638, so if we close below there it will turn red also.

Bottom line EURUSD buyers are fighting a strong current. This is not to say you can't be a buyer, but when you trade or set your stops, you should be taking account of which way the water is now flowing.

The DAX has rallied as it is reading the weaker than expected IFO data as supportive of ECB policy ease. German growth recently has been mainly domestic. Traditionally Germany has depended on exports to the Eurozone and elsewhere. The hope is that stronger growth outside of Germany within the EZ would help the German economy.

USD/JPY - 101.75 ... The greenback ratcheted higher to 101.86 in Tokyo morning due to improved risk appetite as Nikkei-225 index rose by 125 points to 11463 following the rise in global stock markets. Bids are now located at 101.70-60 n more at 101.50 whilst offers are tipped at 101.90-00.

The Bank of Japan's chief executor of its unprecedented monetary stimulus, Masayoshi Amamiya, is expected by central bank and Abe administration officials to be reappointed to a rare second term, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Amamiya has helped shape key policies as the central bank battles deflation in the world? third-biggest economy. After less than a year as Osaka branch manager, Amamiya, 58, got his old job back as head of the monetary affairs department in March 2013, about two weeks before Kuroda unveiled record easing on April 4.
