Tuesday, May 27 Market Profile British pound can be attributed to trend day. The British pound continued to weaken against the U.S. dollar, continuing a downward trend shaping its structure.

Forex: Euro at Risk as Dovish Commentary Stokes Easing Speculation


The economic calendar remains quiet in European hours, with Swiss Trade Balance figures amounting to the only bit of noteworthy event risk on the docket. The trade surplus is expected to edge to CHF 2.1 billion in April, marking a hairline improvement over the prior month. The release probably won’t meaningful direction cues to the Swiss Franc considering its limited implications for SNB monetary policy. Indeed, with the central bank forecasting inflation below 1 percent through 2015, Thomas Jordan and company seem unlikely to step away from an ultra-accommodation policy regime for some time yet.
Elsewhere, traders will continue to watch sideline commentary from the ECB Conference on Central Banks going into its third day in Sintra, Portugal. Policymakers have gathered to discuss ways to address the lingering disinflation problem in the Eurozone with an eye to potentially introduce an expanded stimulus effort as soon as next week. Dovish rhetoric from the summit has failed to apply downward pressure on the Euro thus far but that can swiftly change if vague pronouncements about the severity of the situation are replaced with actionable policy prescriptions. We remain short EUR/USD.
The spotlight turns to US data later in the day, with April’s Durable Goods Orders report and May’s Consumer Confidence reading on the docket. US economic news-flow has increasingly improved relative to expectations in early April, suggesting analysts are underestimating the economy’s resilience and opening the door for upside surprises. Such outcomesare likely to help scatter doubts about continued “tapering” of QE asset purchases, stoking speculation about subsequent interest rate hikes and boosting the US Dollar.

GBP/USD Fell Down to Support Due to UK GDP In-Line with Estimates

FOREX Trend
GBP/USD Today

The British Pound fell against the US Dollar despite UK GDP reporting in-line with estimates, as back-ward looking data may fail to support bullish outlook.
The second revision of first-quarter UK GDP figures confirmed output grew 0.8 percent, confirming previous estimates. The year-on-year growth rate reported at 3.1%, the highest since the fourth quarter of 2007.
The British Pound has enjoyed a swell in supportive monetary policy expectations and an upbeat GDP print certainly did not fall out of step with that dynamic. Despite the positive back-ward looking data, Spivak suspects whether the data will be enough to carry teh British Pound higher as there is a chance that most if it has already been priced in.

NFP Trading Today: The Big Picture


European currency continued positional trading against the U.S. dollar and on Thursday, May 1st, as traders prepare for the release of important fundamental data on employment in the United States, which can only exacerbate the position of the American currency in the medium.

NFP Day The US nonfarm payrolls for April are the focus today. This is a key indicator for all financial markets because of the importance of employment for the Fed, with its dual mandate to “promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates" as well as the importance of employment as an indicator of the US economy’s health as a whole. 
NFP growth has been remarkably steady. Over the last six months the average has been 188k; over the last year, 187k; over the last two years, 178k; and over the last three years, 187k. Not much difference. The market consensus today is for a larger-than-average rise of 218k, up from 192k in March. The forecast is assuming a steady recovery in the economy coupled with some bounce-back in employment as the cold weather ends. The unemployment rate is forecast to stay unchanged at 11.9% as discouraged workers come back into the workforce, raising the participation rate from last December’s low point. 
Looking at USD/JPY, the pair that we find most responsive to NFP, it was actually lower a week later in three out of the last six positive surprises and unchanged once, meaning USD got a sustained rise only two out of the last six times there was a positive surprise. 
In addition to the NFP figure, we should watch two other figures in evaluating the data: average hourly earnings and average weekly hours. The hourly earnings figure is important, because Fed Chair Janet Yellen has identified wages as an important indicator of the labor market. Her reasoning is that wages will start rising once the labor market starts tightening, so the absence of wage rises means a slack labor market, which means less reason to tighten policy = bad for the dollar. The reason we watch the work week is because regardless of all the emphasis on unemployment, in fact there are a lot more people working than not working and if each one works a bit longer and therefore gets paid a bit more, that can add up to a lot of money – far more than the additional wages of those people who get jobs each month. An increase of only 0.1 ppt in the workweek adds roughly as many working hours to the economy as an increase of 350k to payrolls does.

FOREX News and Forecast For Today: 19th Feb

FOREX News For Today
Australian dollar can be attributed to the normal deviation of a normal day. Australian dollar finished the Asian trading almost unchanged, although the beginning of the session of the Reserve Bank of Australia comments provoked its growth, which further weakened and gave way to decline. Next pair reached strong levels of support, from which then recovered slightly by the end of the day. On the day the fair price protection zones are located in areas VAL -0.9010 and VAH -0.9046. Control point POC was formed in 0.9035. 
From a practical perspective, that document has already reveled the new strategy being adopted by Mark Carney and company, limiting the Minutes’ market-moving potential. With that in mind, follow-through on any near-term volatility borne of subtle nuances in officials’ rhetoric may prove limited. January’s UK Jobless Claims data is likewise on tap, with a 20,000 decline expected.

Forecast for Today
During today's Asian session, the Australian dollar continued to weaken against the U.S. dollar on the back of weak fundamental data. The first resistance level for the AUD/USD now is the level of VAL from February 17 -0.9022 from which the couple may have to return to the test more than usual VAH from February 17 -0.9052 and POC on December 6, 2013 -0.9068. Securing above these levels can lead to the formation of a new upward trend in the area of 9 December VAL -0.9085, and then to the POC from December 11 -0.9107. The farthest goal is still the region POC from December 10 -0.9125.

US Dollar Selloff May Be Nearing an Important Turning Point

The US Dollar continued to face broad-based selling pressure at the start of the trading week as Asian markets played catch-up to Friday’s rally on Wall Street that brought the benchmark S&P 500 index to the highest level since January 22. The area corresponds with where prices traded on the eve of the knee-jerk selloff that materialized following the emergence of a diverse bouquet of emerging-market jitters.
Meanwhile, the closely watched VIX volatility index – investors’ so-called “fear gauge” – has now all but returned to where it started when the panic began as well. Furthermore, the latest positioning figures from the CFTC show speculators are once again net-long S&P 500 futures having been the most net-short in eight months as of February 4.
An empty European economic calendar and a US market holiday are likely to keep things relatively quiet in the near term, but big-picture concerns may fuel renewed risk aversion in the week ahead. On balance, the most significant pitfall remains the disparity between disappointing US economic data and the firm commitment to continue “tapering” QE asset purchases by the Federal Reserve.
Minutes from January’s FOMC meeting and the US CPI data take top billing. The US central bank seems intent to look through near-term performance and press with its $10 billion/month QE reduction cycle. For its part, the headline year-on-year inflation rate is seen rising to a six-month high. Softening growth dynamics coupled with ebbing Fed support may stoke wider fears global growth concerns. Needless to say, that bodes ill for sentiment.
