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.

BOJ Governor Kuroda

A short while ago Kuroda talked down the JPY saying the JPY is "not likely" to rise vs ye USD. He also complained that the JPY is still "quite strong" vs. th EUR.
There was about a 10 pip gain in USDJPY on the headline.

Any carry implications for EUR if ECB inflicts negative rates on the EU? if any, would it be greater among non-EUR EU members or vs. others (e.g, USD, AUD, CHF or JPY)?

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.

April 2014 U.S. New Home Sales
New Homes Sales larger than expected. Data revised back to 2012. March revised up, but January and February revised down. As we look at the chart. New Homes Sales are dead flat.

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.

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.

I was just saying I am surprised that there have not been more short EUR calls as we have some momentum.
Also, net USDJPY has been slowly creeping up, consistent with what I have been saying about 102 being at risk.

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.

Fed's Williams says 'U.S. monetary policy "on road to normal"; normalizing will be gradual, Fed will be flexible; will be 'challenges' when Fed does begin to raise rates; challenges include added risks to financial stability from five years of easy policy; housing an "area of concern," but expect improvement; sees 3 pct U.S. GDP growth in 2014 and 2015; sees unemployment hitting 5.25 pct-5.5 pct "natural" rate in 2016; wage growth should pick up as jobless rate falls; economic slack is main reason for abnormally low inflation; sees return to 2 pct; would take a 'substantial shift' in outlook to derail QE3 taper; raising fed's policy rate is still "a good way off".'

For the close:
1.3638. = 200 day mva
Close below would expose 1.3559-62
Only above 1.3688 would slow the risk although 1.3650 will help set the tone on what will be a thin pre-holiday Friday
German IFO is the data highlight but will not deter the ECB no matter what the result
