Intermezzo : Taj Mahal, Agra, India
2008-02-07 18:43:00
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India . Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna river.Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra , India. It is an "elegy in marble" or some say an expression of a "dream." Taj Mahal (meaning Crown Palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber. The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. The queen?s real name was Arjumand Banu. In the tradition of the Mughals, im...

Bank of England Cuts, Joins ECB Chorus of Inflation Risks
2008-02-07 18:35:00
The Bank of England cut interest rates this morning by 25bps to 5.25%. In justifying their previous 25 basis point cut in December, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at that time judged that the upside risks to inflation were more than outweighed by deteriorating financial market conditions, tightening credit, and slower output growth. Looking at the present, upside risks to inflation remain, and in fact, are now judged to be more acute.While oil prices have eased recently, food price inflation has not. And, imported goods price deflation will do less to moderate British inflation as a result of the pound's decline this year. As a result of these price pressures, and in part fueled by market speculation of a more aggressive easing campaign, UK inflation expectations in the market have been on the rise since mid-January.Based on this assessment, the MPC's bias appears to be to wait until May for another quarterpoint cut, however, we still believe the risk is to the downside and t...

ECB: Preview of Meeting on 7 February
2008-02-06 03:46:00
The ECB is being challenged by softer activity data and the highest inflation rate in 14 years. We think that the ECB will remain in a "wait and see" mode on Thursday with an unchanged bias toward rate hikes in order to send a clear signal to wage negotiators in Germany. However, the market will focus on any signs that the ECB may be changing its growth assessment and whether a hike was discussed as it had been at the previous meetings. We recommend being neutral into the meeting.Overview The inflation picture is little changed in the last month and orders and production are still at fairly robust levels. The data is mixed though as consumer data have disappointed strongly despite a still-healthy labour market. Forward-looking economic indicators in general deteriorated, but the picture is somewhat mixed: eg, Ifo rose, while service PMI dropped. However, the outlook for the US economy is clearly worse than last month and risks to growth are increasing. ECB members are likely to...

Australian Data May Set the Stage for 25bp Rate Hike by the RBA On Monday
2008-02-03 09:12:00
AUD Trade Balance (DEC) (00:30 GMT; 19:30 EST)Expected: -2.0BPrevious: -2.254BHouse Price Index (YoY) (4Q) (00:30 GMT; 19:30 EST)Expected: 11.8%Previous: 10.6%What Are The Markets Facing?While most central banks are in the process of cutting rates - such as the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada - or are considering reducing rates, the markets may see something unusual next week: a rate hike. However, given the economic data on hand, a 25 basis point rate increase by the Reserve Bank of Australia may not be incredibly shocking. Indeed, the upcoming releases of the Australian trade balance and the Q4 house price index may add to the mix, as mining shipments may help to narrow the trade deficit while prices in the housing sector are forecasted to have grown at the fastest pace in nearly 4 years.Meanwhile, the RBA's weighted-median index of inflation jumped 1.1% in Q4, pushing the annual rate of growth to a 16-year high of 3.8%. With CPI expected to hold above 3.0% during the firs...

Non-Farm Payrolls Will Determine How Much the Fed Cuts in March
2008-02-01 01:55:00
It's time for non-farm payrolls. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 50bp on Wednesday and indicated that they will be cutting rates further in the months to come. How much and how quickly they reduce interest rates again will be dependent upon the level of job growth in the month of January. With the currency market in limbo after the FOMC announcement, non-farm payrolls should clarify the near term outlook for the US dollar.In the month of December, job growth was abysmal with only 18k jobs added to US payrolls. Without the help of the government, the private sector actually lost 13k jobs. The weakness in the labor market is one of the main reasons why the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates 150bp since the last NFP release. We believe that the Federal Reserve will begin to slow their pace of rate cuts, but if job growth fails to live up to the market's expectation once again, the Fed could realistically deliver back to back half point cuts.In fact, according to Fed...

USDJPY Headed to 105
2008-01-31 12:34:00
USDJPY Headed to 105The Japanese Yen crosses tried to hold onto their gains following the Fed's interest rate cut, but they failed to do so as the 185 point post FOMC rally in the Dow turned into a 37 point loss. USDJPY proceeded to sell-off aggressively, leading to 100 point slide in USDJPY. We expect this weakness to continue since a 250bp interest rate differential between the US dollar and Japanese Yen makes long USDJPY an increasingly unattractive long.Unfortunately this will probably drag down all of the other carry trade currencies. Also, the rate cut should have been positive for the Dow, but the intraday reversal points suggest further weakness in equities.Eurozone Rates Are Now 100bp Higher than US RatesLeading up the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, the EUR/USD had been trapped within a tight 100 point trading range, but as soon as the Federal Reserve announced the larger rate cut, the Euro skyrocketed. The reasoning is simple; Eurozone interest rates are now 100b...

Asia Session Recap
2008-01-30 06:10:00
click this image to enlargeToday's Asia session began on yet another nervous note for most Forex traders. The rate decision expected from the FOMC in the New York afternoon undoubtedly weighed heavily against investors establishing any new medium term to long term positions. If anything, many looked to take parts of their positions off the table, especially riskier assets.After dealing wobbly around the 158.00 handle early in the session, bids dried up for EURJPY. The high yielder was driven nearly 60+ pips from early session highs and into the 157.50s. AUDJPY also felt the pressure from Forex traders looking to unwind their long carry positions ahead of the rate announcement. The pair shed more than 50 pips from its highs, buckling to the onslaught of offers.Despite good price action for short term traders in many pairs throughout the session, most of the market seemed to be on the sidelines and speculating on what the Federal Reserve's next move will be. While most expect a cut,...

Euro Edges Higher
2008-01-29 00:54:00
The euro edged higher toward the upper region of its multi-month trading range, just shy of the 1.48-level. The single currency rallied in the New York morning following the weak US housing report. EURUSD continues to edge higher toward trendline resistance, which now rests near the 1.49-level.Traders will focus on Euro zone economic data this week, particularly additional evidence of slowing fundamentals that could prompt the ECB to shift toward a neutral stance. Economic reports from Germany are seen deteriorating further, with retail sales forecasted to decline by 4.8%, versus a 3.8% decline a year earlier. On a monthly basis, retail sales are estimated to reverse November's 1.9% decline, improving by 1.5%.EURUSD holds steady near 1.4780 with interim resistance seen at 1.48, followed by 1.4840 and 1.4870. Additional ceilings will emerge at 1.49, backed by 1.4920 and 1.4965. On the downside, support begins at 1.4750, backed by 1.47 and 1.4675. Subsequent floors are seen at 1.4640,...

US Home Sales May Set the Stage for the Fed Rate Decision

The news will come on the tails of the worse-than-expected NAR existing home sales figure that was released on Thursday, and the results will likely be similar. The pace of sales probably declined further, and it won't help that lending standards have tightened, though mortgage rates have come down quite a bit. Traders will also be looking at the inventory component, as signs that supplies continue to build while demand wanes will suggest that prices have much further to fall. This news will not be entirely surprising as the Federal Reserve's emergency 75bp rate cut on January 22 was accompanied by a statement that noted ?incoming information indicates a deepening of t...

Currencies Continue to React to Fed's Emergency Rate Cut
2008-01-25 04:54:00
The USD continued to take a hit as the unexpected rate cut by the Fed led to a big gain for commodity currencies, and rallied speculation that the depreciating currency will continue to fall for the sixth consecutive year. Most of the major currency counterparts gained in today's trading session as the Euro hit $1.47, and the Sterling climbing to $1.97. The USD/CAD pair reflected the biggest depreciation as investors took advantage of the spread in interest rates, and fell to C$1.0094 from C$1.0241 yesterday, which was the largest one-day gain for the Canadian dollar since November.The newly released economic indicator by the Labor Department reflected a slowdown in the rate of unemployment, but did not help to move the market as sales of existing homes fell to a nine year low. As the US continues to falter in the global economy, commodities soaked in gains as crude oil rebounded from a three month low and was just shy of $89 a barrel. Gold prices also jumped as it hit over $900 an...

Bank of Canada Not Done in Cutting Rates
2008-01-23 22:09:00
The Bank of Canada cut the overnight rate this morning by a quarter-point to 4.00%. This was broadly in line with market expectations; however speculation was building in the days leading up the meeting that the Bank might be more aggressive given that financial market confidence had been severely undermined by the prospects of a U.S. recession and the possibility of some contagion to the global economy. Speculation of a more aggressive Bank of Canada decision climaxed when the Federal Reserve caught financial markets completely off guard this morning with an inter-meeting cut of 75 basis points. Nevertheless, the Bank stuck to their guns with a more measured approach, reflecting their view that domestic demand on this side of the border is expected to remain strong. However, the Bank made it quite clear in this morning's communication that they are prepared to deliver more rate cuts down the road when they stated that “further monetary stimulus is likely to be required in the ne...

Asia Session Recap
2008-01-21 07:01:00
The Forex market opened for the week with the same volatility traders grew accustomed to last week. The dollar was bid right from the start against most of the majors. After a 20 pip gap lower to open the Asia session, currency traders continued to pound the pair with offers. The move, which brought EURUSD 70+ pips lower from Friday's close, was a quick one, giving pondering traders little time to react. AUDUSD also shed 70+, following a worse than expected PPI released. The pair managed to find some bids near the .8750 area. GBPUSD wasn't immune, with dollar buying causing Cable to depreciate by 75+ pips to find solid support near 1.9500. Asian equities began the week on a down note, with most of the major indexes lower for the day. JPY crosses once again followed in the risk aversion hysteria. EURJPY fell to multi month lows into the 155.20s, and AUDJPY spiked to the downside by 60+ pips to the 93.50 support level. Ahead in the upcoming London session, no major economic d...

New Zealand has an inflation problem
2008-01-19 22:51:00
CPI inflation surged through the top end of the RBNZ's 1-3% target band in Q4 2007, rising from 1.8% to 3.2%. Core inflation measures presented a mixed bag, but remain persistent.While the high starting point for inflation will have the RBNZ short of breath, it is the outlook that is the worry. Inflation seems to be all pervasive: * The economy is very capacity constrained (with capacity utilisation at 92.0% approaching its historical peak level, and reported difficulty of finding labour surging); * There is substantial pipeline food price inflation; * Energy and transport costs have been rocketing; and * Business costs are rising rapidly through employment costs (high wage growth, Kiwisaver contributions, an additional weeks paid leave), transport costs and rents.The Reserve Bank, in their December Monetary Policy Statement, forecast consumer inflation to average 2.8% over the coming three years (even though they assume the housing price growth will be virtually zero o...

Though further choppy sideway trading cannot be ruled out, intraday bias remains mildly on the downside as long as 1.9969 minor resistance holds. Sustained trading below 1.9554 key medium term support zone will confirm the underlying downside momentum is still strong and will encourage deeper decline to next medium term support at 1.9183. On the upside, above 1.9669 will turn intraday outlook neutral first and bring recovery to challenge 1.9853 resistance.In the bigger picture, prior break of medium term rising channel and 2.0 psychological support at least indicate that rise from 1.8090 has already completed at 2.1161.

Japan: Bank of Japan Turns Softer
2007-12-24 20:38:00
As expected, the Bank of Japan (BoJ), left the leading O/N target rate unchanged at 0.5%. However, the BoJ's tone has turned a little softer, although board governor Fukui stressed at the press briefing that this does not signal a major shift in monetary policy: * For the first time since June the decision to keep interest rates unchanged was unanimous. Apparently super hawk Mizuno now has difficulty in finding arguments for a hike in interest rates. * In its monthly Economic report the BoJ has softened its outlook on the Japanese economy. Its new view is that "Japan's economy is expanding moderately as a trend, although the pace of growth seems to be slowing mainly due to a drop in housing investments." In its November monthly report the BoJ believed the Japanese economy was "expanding moderately" without any qualifications. * At today's press briefing, BoJ board governor Fukui said that "downside risks are increasing slightly" but on the other hand he stressed that the...

Euro == Strong Data Fails to Please the Market
2007-12-24 02:18:00
The Euro has been trapped within a 200 to 250 point trading range for the past week and even though the currency rebounded against the US dollar today, the move was just a rebound and nothing else. Economic data was strong with German import prices, French business confidence, French consumer spending and producer prices all surprising to the upside. The current account was weaker, but the data mattered little because it was from October. The Euro is stronger today, but the bulk of the move happened in the late Asian trading session and not on the heels of the economic releases. Economic data out of the Eurozone has been strong, but this strength has long been discounted by the market. Also, the recent liquidity injections by the ECB suggest that even if they want to raise rates, they will not be able to do so anytime soon. ECB President Trichet repeated the central bank's goal of making sure the inflation spike is short lived, but Constancio took a different stance and warned the ...

GBPUSD Decline Could Accelerate Soon
2007-12-01 10:04:00
Eur/Usd (click image to enlarge)GBP/USDCommentary: The decline that we have anticipated may finally be underway. The favored count treats the decline from 2.1160-2.0522 as larger wave 1 (or A) in a bear cycle with the rally to 2.0844 as wave 2 of the same degree. The decline to 2.0353 was wave 1 of 3 and the choppy rally from 2.0353 to 2.0831 can be counted as a triple zigzag, which fits as wave 2 of 3. Wave 3 of larger 3 appears as though it is underway now and downside potential is much greater. Short term potential resistance is at 2.0740.Strategy: Bearish, against 2.0831, target much lowerUSD/JPYCommentary: The USDJPY rally is likely coming to an end near term. There are now 5 waves higher from 107.20, indicating that the USDJPY has more upside potential, but not before a corrective decline that likely sees at least 109.46.

To Cut Or Not To Cut, That Is The Question!
2007-11-29 13:00:00
US Treasury Yields have plummeted over the past few weeks. The Fed Funds Futures are pricing in a 100% chance of 25 bp cut and a 8% chance of a 50 bp cut. They are also pricing in a 50% chance of a further cut in January.The 2-yr T-Bond Yield fell below 3% yesterday to 2.99% and is currently trading near 3.14%. The 10-Yr is 4.04% as compared to 3.91% yesterday.Arguments for a CutOn the one side the argument for a rate cut on 11-Dec is based on a fear of recession originating from a meltdown in the US housing market.The fear is that the sub-prime crisis that has come to the surface following the housing market crash will snowball into a larger financial market freezing. The US 3-mth Libor is trading near 5.06%, much higher than the US Fed Funds Rate of 4.5%, and in contrast to the fall in Bond Yields. Such a credit squeeze could lead to further cutbacks in Consumer spending (which is heavily dependent upon credit) and this, in turn would lead to a recession in the USA.In fact, the ne...

U.S. Consumer Confidence Index Deteriorates Further

2007-11-26 05:50:00
Several major currencies have retreated from their early November peak against the US dollar. The British Pound topped out on November 9th, the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian Dollars on November 7th. All of the speculative Yen crosses are dramatically lower. Only the Euro and the Swiss Franc linger near their highest levels against the US Dollar. The Euro ascent to record on Friday took place in extremely thin Asian trading. Japan and the prior US market were both closed for holidays. And as is usual in such conditions, stops drove the market with little or no hindrance from normal liquidity. More telling than the upside run was the market's reaction to a comment from the Governor of the Bank of Spain Miguel Ordonez. He said that the sees a stronger than expected slowdown in the Eurozone.

US Dollar Perform Over the Month of December
2007-11-24 10:49:00
Seasonality studies have long been one of the favorite indicators among futures traders, but despite the fact that seasonal trends do form in the FX market, this type of study is largely overlooked by currency traders. Last year, we published an article on how the U.S. dollar has been performing during the month of December and althougah the seasonality did not hold in 2006, the statistical significance of the past few 20 years worth of data makes it worthwhile to mention again especially since there are many reasons why the US dollar could weaken further. This includes the possibility of more subprime losses and weaker holiday spending. For the purpose of this analytical study, we will focus on price action.EUR/USDAccording to our statistical analysis on the EURUSD return since 1986, the euro appreciated against the U.S. dollar 14 out of 21 times in period that from December 1st (Synthetic euro prices were used prior to January 1999).

Dollar Weakens after Disappointing TIC and Industrial Production

Dollar weakens mildly in early US session after disappointing TIC capital flow. Even though capital net flow rebounded in Sep by 26.4b after a surprised net outflow of -70.6b in Aug, the data was much weaker than expectation of 70.0b. Industrial production also missed expectation and dropped -0.5% in Oct, with capacity utilization dropped to 81.7%. On the other hand, the Japanese yen retreats as US stock market is set to have a positive open. Some hawkish comments were delivered by Fed officials today. Kroszner said that economic indicators in the coming months will reflect a "rough patch" However, that is not enough to guarantee additional rate cuts. Poole said that Fed must lead, but not follow the markets on rate policy. Even though subprime problem take time to resolve, he doesn't expect a recession yet and he doubts the need for more rate cuts.
