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.

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,...

Euro Targets $1.3360 Then $1.3080

Posted 17/11/10
LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Following is a selection of comments from analysts on important technical developments in the foreign exchange market. CMC MARKETS * EURO/DOLLAR: "The weakness in the single currency accelerated yesterday hitting our target of $1.3500 as the euro looks to be heading towards the $1.3360 level, which would be 38.2 percent retracement of the up move from the June lows at $1.1880 to the highs at $1.4280. Having broken and closed below the 50 day moving average at $1.3640 the emphasis shifts even more firmly to the downside. Pullbacks should now be limited to this resistance at $1.3640 as and behind that at the $1.3800 pullback line resistance. A break of $1.3360 would then target $1.3080 which is the 50 percent retracement level of the same earlier up move." * DOLLAR/YEN: "While the US dollar continues to remain above the 50 day moving average at 82.70 yen, the risk remains for a larger move towards the 84.20 level.

Global FX Brief Nov 16: Ireland RBA Statement And Inflation Concerns Dominate...

Bias to safety fx though specific rankings today have as much to do with specific news items. Strongest: CAD, USD, GBP, in that order, weakest JPY, AUD, EUR in that order. Key fx events thus far: higher UK CPI boosts GBP, higher US bond yields and EU worries bolster USD, weigh on GBP. RBA statement suggests rates to stay steady into 2011 weigh on the AUD. US PPI, TIC are key events coming later. US Dollar Daily Outlook: Up vs. all except slightly lower vs. the CAD, aided by better than expected retail figures (consumer spending is about 70% of GDP) and rising US bond rates that imply rising short term USD rates sooner than expected. The USD is giving up some of its gains vs. the EUR, GBP, and CHF thus far today. Euro Daily Outlook: Down vs. all but the JPY, AUD on assorted concerns about Ireland, Greece, and Portugal. Rising US bond yields also strengthen the USD and thus weaken...
