Likelihood BOJ forced to ease remains high - Nomura

Following the deterioration in the Japanese trade balance in July, Nomura research team expects that while Japanese exports should recover going forward, the recent export weakness has one direct JPY negative implication. According to the bank, it puts further pressure on the BOJ to ease monetary policy again this year. "While US economic data are now suggesting a better near-term outlook, we think the likelihood of the BOJ being forced to ease remains high for the time being" the team notes.

Again London session ahead will show no EUR macro data related risk events on the agenda, with focus on Greek-EZ leaders meetings going on, today with Greek PM Samaras visiting German PM Merkel, and also on Spain possibly asking for the bailout as soon as mid Sept according to sources, with its risk premium back above the 500bps for German 10y yields. As usually for Fridays, no EZ sovereign debt auctions will take place today.

Fed’s Jackson Hole conference key event this week - BNZ

The Fed’s Jackson Hole conference, due on Friday, is the event of the week. According to Mike Jones, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand, "some of the market impact of Bernanke’s speech has been nullified by last week’s dovish Fed minutes." The analyst adds: "The speech is expected to be used to map out the policy (easing) options facing the Fed. If this has the effect of hardening Fed easing expectations then the USD should continue to suffer."

London session ahead will be a quiet one in regards of London closing for holidays and lack of macro economic data EUR related but German Ifo business climate at 08:00 GMT as the most important, preceded by German import price index at 06:00 GMT, and Chicago Fed Evans speaking at 10:00 GMT. In the euro zone sovereign debt auctions front, France and Germany will sell short term treasury bills.

Fed to deliver further stimulus - JPM

JPM is quite dovish on the next Fed policy tools to deploy, expecting Ben Bernanke & Co. to provide additional stimulus to the economy by extending the rate-on-hold guidance out to mid-2015 and increasing asset purchases. The bank expects medium-term US paper getting a better bid tone ahead of the Sept 12-13 FOMC meeting. A more marked move will come via real yields as investors bet on higher inflation, says JPM head bond strategist Terry Belton.

For the London session ahead the economic agenda will be soft once again in EUR macro data related terms, with Germany GFK consumer sentiment at 06:00 GMT, followed by Spanish final GDP 1 hour later, and EU M3 money supply at 08:00 GMT. At 11:00 GMT is expected EU's Van Rompuy will meet Spanish PM Rajoy, which could bring some headlines to the table giving some volatility to current thin markets, coupled with both Spanish and Italian short term sovereign debt auctions to be held today, Spain to sell up to €3.5B in 3 and 6 month bills. Spanish 10y bond yields hold near mid 6%s with risk premium with Germany around the 500bps.

Possible execution of protective orders below the support level at 78.45 (S1) might drive market price toward to our lower targets at 78.28 (S2) and 78.11 (S3). On the other hand, if market go higher and continue to be traded in sideways we suggest waiting for a clear brake of the next resistance level at 78.83 (R1). Next expected target at 79.02 (R2).

ECB has no choice but buy periphery gvrt debt - Nomura

ECB purchases of periphery debt would be effective in ending a dysfunctional government bond marke, says Nomura economist Richard Koo. "While longer-term answers to this eurozone-specific problem include fiscal stimulus to tackle the balance sheet recession itself and a rule that addresses the issue of capital flight by restraining, given that both of those measures will probably take years to implement, the only short-term option is to have the ECB buy the government debt of peripheral countries" the economist said in a research note.

London session ahead will be another quiet one in terms of EUR macro data related coming out, with only French business confidence at 06:45 GMT, followed by Italian consumer confidence and retail sales at 08:00 GMT, and German CPI at 12:00 GMT. In the sovereign debt auctions front Italy will sell 6-month bills, with 10 year bond yields on the rise at 5.82% last, coming from multi-week lows Aug 22 at 5.56% for Italy. There will also be some meetings among different EU leaders going on which could actually produce some headlines.

ECB bond buying plan unlikely to be fully unveiled at the Sep ECB meeting - TDS

With summer drawing to a close, "it's time to see if the monetary weapons will be revealed", says Rich Kelly, research analyst at TDS. "Disappointment at some stage along the way is a real possibility and we eventually expect the ECB’s new bond buying plan to satisfy the market, but it is unlikely to be fully unveiled at the September ECB meeting, and once announced, there will be a lag before Spain asks for it, and markets hate waiting and uncertainty" the analyst notes.

In the sessions ahead, the UK’s non-seasonally adjusted Nationwide Housing Prices data for August will be key risk event for GBP, but the market is likely to be distracted as it awaits Bernanke’s speech at Jackson Hole.

ECB to add some colour on bond buying - Nomura

Expect the ECB to announce its preparedness to intervene in the bond market after countries have called for help at the EFSF/ESM and under strict conditionality, Nomura Chief European Economist Jacques Cailloux said in a research note, published late last week. However, Nomura believes that the ECB will provide very little colour on the modalities of the programme at this week's meeting. According to Mr. Cailloux, once the program is implemented, "analysis shows that the bond buying programme for Spain could last 5 months with the shorter maturities rallying further in the initial stage of the policy response. Much more difficult will be how to anchor the longer end which will be the job of the EFSF/ESM, a task we believe will be very hard."

London session ahead will have another round of PMI figures this time coming from several EU countries like Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the EU, and Greece, starting at 07:13 GMT, 07:43, 07:48, 07:53, and finally at 07:58 with the EU and Greece respectively. Not much in EUR macro data related apart from the PMIs, with the focus on the US closed today on holiday, and ECB's Draghi to testify on banking union before the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, in Brussels at 13:30 GMT.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Friday’s USD weakening during the European session let to profit taking at 1.5589, our last suggested target. Upside pressure might force the market to retest our next resistance level at 1.5896 (R1). Consolidation above it might provide sufficient space for the price increase towards to our next targets at 1.5922 (R2) and 1.5948 (R3). On the flip side, depreciation below the support level at 1.5848 (S1) would enable our targets at 1.5824 (S2) and 1.5799 (S3) in potential.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Current installation might suggest us about the market sentiment change. Friday decline below the key support level at 78.28 open the road towards to the new targets. Our next target level at 78.10 (S1) mark is not far away from current market price. Brake here would suggest lower supports at 77.92 (S2) and 77.74 (S3) as new targets. A move above the resistance level at 78.45 (R1) might drive price towards to the next target at 78.63 (R2) and any further rise would then be limited by last resistance at 78.80 (R3), important technical level.

RBA Interest Rate Decision remains at 3.5%

The Australian central bank believes that despite the overall global worsening conditions in recent months, monetary policy is appropriate given inflation levels consistent with the objectives set, as well as economic growth in line with expectations. Widely anticipated by economists surveyed by Bloomberg where 24 out of the 24 economists questioned expected the decision to remain unchanged, in the absence of dovish signs the pair is pushing higher.

Australia current account balance has come at -11,801M in 2Q vs -14,892M in 1Q. Expectations were for -12.2 bln approximately. The contribution from Aus net exports rose to 0.3%, below a 0.55% forecasted.

Spain full-blown bailout done deal - Nomura

Spain will need full-blown bailout which will include more active role of ECB in Spanish bond markets, says Nomura in a research note. The bank thinks capital flight from Spain is in a "category of its own," with massive outflows raising “serious concerns about the implications for banking sector stability and economic growth,” Nomura strategists Jens Nordvig and Charles St.-Arnaud write in client note. Interestingly, the following line via Bloomberg points at capital outflows on 3-month rolling basis at 50% of GDP vs Italy 15%; for comparison, Indonesia outflow during Asian crisis peaked at 23%.

The London session ahead will bring just few minor PMI figures from the EU in terms of EUR macro data related and EU retail sales. Spanish services PMI will be out at 07:13 GMT, followed 30 minutes later by Italian services PMI, 5 minutes later by French one, another 5 minutes for German one, and finally another 5 minutes for the EU final services PMI at 07:58 GMT. EU retail sales are due at 09:00 GMT. At 13:00 GMT EU's Van Rompuy is expected to meet French PM Hollande so very probably some headlines will come that way.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Yesterday, leaked details of the ECB’s bond intervention plan pushed EUR higher and our target at 1.2598 was met successfully. However our last target at 1.2637 (R1) remains untouched and currently is our next key resistance level. Market is waiting for official announcement from the ECB at 11:45 GMT and we expect volatility increase today. Clearance of next resistance level at 1.2637 (R1) would enable next targets at 1.2697 (R2) and 1.2754 (R3). For the downside we suggest next support level at 1.2570 (S1). Loss here might take the pair towards to eventual supports, located at 1.2510 (S2) and 1.2450 (S3) in potential.

Break above the resistance at 78.54 (R1) would bring in focus next target at 78.73 (R2) and any further appreciation might face final resistance at 78.92 (R3). As long as the pair remains within the same price range, support at 78.30 (S1) is acting a protective level for the pair to plunge lower.

Market positioning for a stronger NFP reading - Westpac

Market positioning for US Aug non-farm payrolls is likely to be for a stronger reading than economists’ consensus of 130K, given the better ADP survey and also the non-manufacturing ISM, says Sean Callow, currency strategist at Westpac. The bank forecast is gloomier, "looking for 80K after the surprisingly firm 163K in July. The market range is 70-185K."

London session ahead will be focused on key data coming from the US at 12:30 GMT in the form of NFP. But earlier will come a bunch of other minor EUR related data, starting with German current account and trade balance at 06:00 GMT (all times GMT), followed by French trade balance 45 minutes later, Spanish industrial production at 07:00, the Netherlands industrial production half hour later, Greece final 2Q GDP at 09:00, and German industrial production and Portugal final 2Q GDP both at 10:00.

The bank also adds, "if QE3 happens, it actually may mark the end, not the beginning, of USD weakness." Standard Chartered remains underweight EUR, "supported by the view this week’s FOMC will disappoint" the bank notes.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Despite the consolidation provided yesterday, EURUSD still under the bullish pressure on the medium term perspective. All of our supports and resistance levels remain at the same levels. Brake above the resistance at 1.2817 (R1) would suggest next target at 1.2870 (R2) and any further gain would then be limited to 1.2920 (R3). However break below the support at 1.2754 (S1) might provide necessary space for further retracement development. We suggest next target at 1.2700 (S2), brake here is required to enable final target at 1.2652 (S3).

If the price manages to stay above the suggested support at 1.5976 (S1), we expect market to retest our next resistance level at 1.6034 (R1). Clearance here is required for the instrument strengthening towards to our targets at 1.6069 (R2) and 1.6103 (R3) in potential. In focus is the Goods Trade Balance (Jul) release at 08:30 GMT.

Consensus ESM approved: Will it come with conditions?

“Market consensus for tomorrow's Constitutional Court judgement is overwhelmingly that the Constitutional Court will not block ESM and the Fiscal Pact: 99% of respondents in our Investor poll this week subscribe to this view.” According to a Reuters poll of 20 legal experts, there is unanimous consensus the soon-to-be-established ESM will be approved but with strings as the wildcard. Strings could mean a German limit on contributions, making a case for euro shorts ahead of the court decision, due at 0800 GMT today.

London session ahead will be very busy as the common currency faces one of most important days ahead for its future. There are plenty of risk events in the coming hours, that will presumable pick volatility up. For starters in terms of macro data EUR related France will release CPI figures for Aug at 05:30 GMT, followed by German CPI 30 minutes later, and French current account at 06:45 GMT. Spain CPI will be out at 07:00 GMT, followed by Italian industrial production 1 hour later, and EU industrial production along with Portugal CPI another hour after.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Constitutional court expected to give its preliminary ruling on the ESM and the fiscal compact today, this would be the major market driver for the currency. Our target at 1.2870 was met yesterday and market closed on a positive note. Fresh high, formed today at 1.2885 (R1) is a next attractive point for the uptrend penetration. If a brake occur here we suggest gradual targets to be placed at 1.2952 (R2) and 1.3018 (R3). Next upcoming support holds at 1.2837 (S1), a consolidation development below it might take the pair towards to eventual supports located at 1.2767 (S2) and 1.2701 (S3) in potential.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Cable managed to advance above the suggested resistance level at 1.6034 and printed a fresh high during the European session at 1.6085 (R1), which is our next resistance level for today. Rise above it might keep the bearish pressure intact and expose next targets at 1.6136 (R2) and 1.6186 (R3) later on today. We placed our next support level below the both moving averages at 1.6051 (S1). Loss here might enable bearish pressure and downgrade Cable towards to expected targets at 1.5997 (S2) and 1.5940 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY gained momentum yesterday and reached our downside target at 77.81.

Next immediate resistance levels holds at 78.17 (R2) and 78.33 (R3). Conversely, next support level stays right below the fresh low, provided yesterday at 77.69 (S1). Brake here would suggest next target at 77.51 (S2) and any further fall would then be limited by last support at 77.33 (S3).

QE3 done deal or coinflip?

An overwhelming majority, as reflected by recent USD selling, sees it obvious that the economy in the US is weak, and with Bernanke reminding how well past QEs have worked in his speech at Jackson Hole, not to forget the last straw being the big miss in last Friday's NFP reports, talking about a fresh wave of money printing announced today seems logical. On the other hand, there is a case that points towards 'disappointment' being a prospect not that distant. With Europe having kicked the can down the road yet again thru new stimulus policies by the ECB – subject to Spain bailout request and the economic data in the US modestly upbeat in general in early September, one may also make the case for another month of 'wait-and-see” by the Fed. Not to forget is election time in the US, and any new 'money printing' may be controversial.

London session ahead will be a quite one data related waiting for the key event for the day in the form of FOMC Fed fund rates at 16:30 GMT. During the European hours, few major risk events will be coming from Switzerland, so some volatility could be expected around EUR/CHF cross given latest moves, while for EUR macro data related the EU will publish ECB monthly bulletin at 08:00 GMT at the same time than Italy CPI, followed 1 hour later by EU labor costs index.

Furthermore, they, now believe "the interest rate cutting cycle has ended and expect the next move to be up, in late 2013."

Standard Chartered forecasts USD-CNY at 6.19 at end-2013, 6.00 at end-2014.

RBA minutes - Bias still to the downside

The RBA's minutes for this month's 4 Sep meeting is out, with plenty of downbeat commentary regarding the worsening outlook for Australia due to global and Chinese growth concerns, acknowledging prospects are now more uncertain. RBA added there is still scope to reduce the benchmark interest rate should outlook worsen significantly. The extent of RBA concern surrounding China appears to have worsened, while the potential for an October rate cut is very much on the cards. According to RBA, previous rate cuts are still working through economy.

London session ahead will only have a single risk event for the European morning coming out EUR related, but a key one, as German ZEW economic sentiment is, due at 09:00 GMT, which usually implies volatility. The UK will publish CPI figures at 08:30 GMT.

Our now bullish short term outlook will remain in place while USDJPY trades above the support at 78.47 (S1). A downside move below it might retest our next targets at 78.21 (S2) and 77.95 (S3) in potential.

BOJ eases more than expected

The BOJ left the overnight call rate range unchanged between 0.0% and 0.1%. Amid much anticipated expectations of the BoJ following the Fed and ECB with further easing, the bank decided to increase the APP program by 10 trillion yen. The increase in the size corresponds to additional increases of treasury disccount bills by 5trillion yen and purchases in JGBs by another 5 trillion. BOJ keeps monthly JGB purchases at 1.8 trillion yen. As John Noonan, Head of IFR Markets, notes: "BOJ has eased a bit more than most were expecting. Market likes it and USD/JPY testing 79.00 level from 78.70 before announcment."

Lack of macro economic EUR related data for the London session ahead will be the news, with only ECB Governing Council 2 day Meeting starting today, while in the sovereign debt auctions front Germany will sell up to € 5B in 2 year federal notes, and Portugal trying to sell up to € 1.75 in short term T-bills at 09:30 GMT. Portugal 10 year bonds reached past week record 1 ½ year-lows around 8% coming from as high as 17% from Feb 2012, last at 8.72%, while Germany is dealing with 4-month highs touched on Monday at 1.74%, last at 1.65%.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD penetrated below the suggested support level at 1.3085 yesterday but failed to go much lower and reach any of our targets. Medium term bias remains positive and today we expect further appreciation if it manage to overcome next resistance level at 1.3116 (R1). Strengthening above it might open way towards to next targets at 1.3172 (R2) and 1.3227 (R3). Current retracement formation might face next support levels at 1.2995 (S1), 1.2941 and 1.2888 (S3) in potential.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The GBPUSD trades in a sideways channel between our next support level at 1.6218 (S1) and resistance at 1.6273 (R1). A break in either direction might determine the trading bias for the medium term perspective. Bank of England Minutes at 08:30 GMT might provide sufficient impulse for the market move. Penetration above the 1.6273 (R1) would suggest next targets at 1.6308 (R2) and 1.6348 (R3) in potential. On the other side, loss of 1.6218 (S1) would enable targets at 1.6181 (S2) and 1.6144 (S3).

Brussels is reportedly helping Madrid to tweak an economic reform plan thought to be announced next week, the FT reports. "According to officials involved in the discussions, talks between the Spanish government and the European Commission are focusing on measures that would be demanded by international lenders as part of a new rescue programme, ensuring they are in place before a bailout is formally requested. The plan will focus on structural reforms to the Spanish economy."
