Forex Outlook 2nd December 2010

Overview The European Central Bank is under pressure to act on Thursday to help the Euro zone contain a crippling debt crisis that has stoked contagion fears in the United States and Asia World stocks rose for a second straight day while the euro sat on the previous day's gains as expectations grew the European Central Bank might deliver measures to alleviate worries over Euro zone debt.   Currencies   EURUSD In the Asian session, EUR/USD opened at 1.3140 after making a strong reversal higher in great part due to expectations the European Central Bank (ECB) will aggressively increase their peripheral European bond buying plan when they meet later today. The EUR/USD traded to 1.3144 before prop traders and US names squaring up sold decent amounts. The EUR/USD was also pressured by a fall in the AUD/USD following the worse than expected Australian Retail Sales. The pairing traded down to 1.3106 before talk of sovereign buying interest helped to underpin. The EUR/USD was trading around 1.3110 heading into...

Forex Daily Outlook Nov 30 and Why Thursday Key for the EUR

FOREX Daily Outlook Monday To Midday Tuesday Nov. 30th  GMT: Clear bias to safety fx again, for the same reasons as yesterday, fueled by concerns about Ireland, spiking Portuguese and Spanish bond rates that threaten to force these nations to seek EU/IMF funds (currently insufficient to help Spain), China tightening, Korean military tensions too. Poor German jobs data doesn’t help as German prosperity is central for any EU bailout efforts.   Strongest over the past 24 hours: JPY, CHF, USD. Weakest: EUR, AUD, NZD, CAD, GBP in that order, almost perfect correlation with the forex risk hierarchy, except that the CHF and USD trade places on a minor technical adjustment after recent days’ USD strength. Longer term as long as the EU crisis is boiling the CHF should be under some pressure given that most of Swiss exports go to the EU. US Dollar Daily Outlook: Up vs. all except down vs. the JPY and CHF as the drive to safety on EU,...

Agreements at APEC finance ministers’ meeting

Posted 7/11/10
KYOTO, Japan, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) finance ministers held two days of meeting ending on Saturday, where they discussed rebalancing global growth, fiscal discipline and infrastructure investment needed to contribute to economic growth. Following are some of the agreements at the meetings. CURRENCIES APEC ministers adopted the same language that Group of 20 finance ministers used at a meeting last month to address friction over currency intervention, capital controls and the dollar's broad decline. APEC reiterated the G20's stance that member countries will move toward more market-determined exchange rate systems that reflect underlying economic fundamentals and will refrain from competitive devaluation of currencies. ID:nTOE6A501K GLOBAL IMBALANCES AND CURRENCY TENSIONS U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner denied any immediate plans to set numerical targets for current account surpluses to discourage countries from relying too much on external demand. China's Vice Finance Minister Wang Jun took a step back from criticism of U.S. economic policy by voicing some support for the Federal Reserve's quantitive easing. On the...

POLL-Australia dlr to hold parity fort on hawkish RBA

Posted 4/11/10
SYDNEY, Nov 4 (Reuters) - The surging Australian dollar should keep most of its gains in coming months to be near parity against the U.S. dollar on hopes domestic rates, already the highest in the developed world, may head even higher. A Reuters poll of around 45 analysts showed the Australian dollar AUD=D4 is seen strong at $0.9900 in the next three months, before pulling back to $0.9700 and $0.9500 in six and 12 months time. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) surprised many investors this week when it raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.75 percent -- well above the average 0.54 percent in developed economies -- and suggested more hikes could follow. The hawkish RBA, in stark contrast to the dovish Federal Reserve which launched its second round of quantitative easing this week, should underpin the Australian dollar. "In the wake of the unexpected RBA rate hike this week and its still relatively hawkish tone, the Australian dollar should...

Dollar is under pressure ahead of Fed meeting

Posted 2/11/10
The US dollar remains under pressure ahead of the announcements of the Fed's two-day meeting results, where expectations refer to pumping $500 billion over the coming six months to energize the economy. Economists see that the Fed will start with $500 billion while the whole package may reach $1 trillion or $2 trillion. The dollar index, which tracks the dollar movements versus a basket of major currencies, slipped to a low of 76.64 compared with the day's opening price at 77.23. The greenback dropped to its lowest level since 1983 against the Aussie after the Australian central bank unexpectedly hiked interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.75%, taking the pair to parity. On the other hand, the progress seen in European manufacturing, trailing Chinese and U.S. advance yesterday, boosted hopes and gave support to the euro and pushed the yen lower. Concerning the euro-dollar pair, it rebounded from 1.3890 levels where the support gave a boost to the pair which managed to breach resistance...
