The essentials of Ben Bernanke’s testimony
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 07:45
- The Fed’s Chairman confirmed that the interest rates are likely to stay low at least until the end of 2014 as unemployment level is still high and inflation outlook is subdued.
- Bernanke didn’t mention additional monetary stimulus measures like QE3.
- “Gasoline prices have moved up, primarily reflecting higher global oil prices – a development that is likely to push up inflation temporarily while reducing consumers’ purchasing power.”
- Comments on the situation in euro area: “if Europe has a mild downturn… and if the financial situation remains under control that the effect on the US might not be terribly serious”. At the same time, there is “significant risk” of stress and contagion from “a major financial accident”.
Analysts at Barclays Capital note that US central bank is passively moving away from excessive easing approach that will be a positive factor for US dollar.
According to the data released yesterday, US GDP added 3% in the final 3 month of last year (vs. the consensus forecast of 2.8% growth). Conference Board said that confidence among US consumers climbed to a 12-month maximum in February.
Beige Book, regional business survey, also published yesterday showed that American economy expanded at a “modest to moderate pace” in January and early February, the main driver of the expansion was manufacturing.
Bernanke will continue giving its semiannual testimony to the House Financial Services Committee.

Be successful with FBS Comments on EUR/USDThursday, March 1, 2012 - 08:00 Today is the first day of EU economic summit. The meeting of the European leaders will be focused on the ways of reviving the region’s economy postponing the discussion of Europe’s financial-crisis firewall. Analysts at Mizuho Securities claim that the markets are still concerned about the future of the euro area. The specialists are bearish on EUR/USD expecting the pair to slide to $1.25 by June 30. The single currency dropped versus the greenback yesterday from nearly 3-month maximums in the $1.3480 area to the levels around $1.3315 after the ECB allotted 530 billion euro of cheap three-year credits to the European banks as investors were “buying on rumors, selling on facts”. Then euro was hit after the Fed’s Chairman Ben Bernanke didn’t signal another round of quantitative easing. Support for EUR/USD is currently situated at $1.3293 (100-day MA).  Chart.

Commerzbank is bearish on EUR/USD
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 11:00
Technical analysts at Commerzbank think that the pair EUR/USD may have reversed downwards.
The specialists claim that support for EUR/USD is situated at $1.3318 (February 1 maximum), $1.3293 (February 21 maximum), $1.3199 (late December maximum), $1.3126 (the uptrend channel support) and $1.3066 (55-day MA).
According to the bank, resistance lies at $1.3389 (yesterday’s minimum), $1.3436 (50% Fibonacci retracement) and $1.3487 (February maximum).
Commerzbank says that the outlook for euro will remain bearish as long as it’s trading below $1.3487. If the European currency overcomes this level, it will get chance to climb to $1.3550 (December maximum) and $1.3628 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from October to January).

SocGen: China may lower GDP target
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 11:30
The National People's Congress will convene in China on March 5 and last for a week discussing the Government Work Report which will reveal the nation’s targets for growth and inflation, detail the fiscal budget and the priorities for reforms in 2012.
Analysts at Societe Generale believe that the general direction of Chinese policymakers will remain the same: the nation will continue being focused on “making progress while maintaining stability”. In their view, China will reiterate “prudent monetary policy” and “proactive fiscal policy”.
According to the bank, China will likely diminish GDP target to 7.5% indicating increasing commitment to structural reforms and less appetite for aggressive investment stimulus.

Rabobank: comments on EUR, AUD, CAD
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 11:45
Analysts at Rabobank believe that the single currency will fall to $1.25 versus the greenback by the middle of May and then return to growth targeting $1.40 in the longer-term as the specialists believe that US dollar will be weakened by the Fed’s policies and economic growth slowdown.
The bank is bullish on the Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar. In their view, these commodity and growth-linked currencies are helped by the success of the LTRO which improved investors’ sentiment. The analysts aren’t sure that Aussie and loonie will be able to maintain the gains for the duration of the year, but for now they seem to be supported well enough.

BofA revised forecasts for euro, pound
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 12:00
Analysts at Bank of America claim that although the single currency declined yesterday versus the greenback after the LTRO results and Bernanke’s testimony, EUR/USD prospects have so far improved.
The specialists expect the market’s risk sentiment to stay elevated as the situation at the European peripheral debt markets as well as the general state of global economy improved.
The bank increased EUR/USD forecast from $1.25 to $1.30 by the end of the second quarter and from $1.30 to $1.33 by the year-end. In addition, the projections for EUR/JPY were revised up from 91 to 105 yen by June 30 and from 99 to 109 yen by the end of December.
Bank of America thinks that Canadian, Australian and New Zealand’s dollars have good chances for appreciation. As for British pound, the analysts are pessimistic and lowered forecast for GBP/USD for the end of 2012 from $1.53 to $1.51.

CFTC trader positioning data
Monday, April 2, 2012 - 08:00
The latest Commitments of Traders (COT) report, released on Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), showed that:
•The value of the dollar's net long position rose to $19.58 billion in the week ended March 27, from $11.67 billion the previous week.
• Euro shorts grew by 6.2k to 89.1k contracts. The euro's volatility (3-month implied volatility) is at its lowest level since August 2008.
• The net short pound position declined by 4.7k contracts to 11.1k, the minimum since last September. Small longs were established (658 contracts) and short were pared by (4.1k).
• Net short Japanese yen positions jumped 41.8k to 67.6k. This was a function of new shorts being established (17.8k contracts) and longs being cut (24k contracts) to the smallest since mid-2005.
• Swiss franc net shorts dropped 3.9k contracts to 15.1k. Both longs and shorts decreased (5.5k and 1.5k).
It’s necessary to note that the figures cited above are always a week old at the time of their release. Never the less, CFTC data gives a good oversight into how the market is positioned and if/how these positions are being unwound. Although the CME speculators represent a small fraction of trading in the currency markets, their trades are widely seen as typical of hedge fund investors' currency movements.

USD/JPY: analysts’ forecasts
Monday, April 2, 2012 - 08:30
Bullish views
UBS: as new fiscal year started in Japan, yen will lose support of the seasonal repatriation conducted by Japanese companies. USD/JPY will rise to 85 yen in 3 months. Among the factors positive for the pair there are: possibility of higher US Treasury yields in the coming months, more optimism about US economy and more easing from the BOJ. As the central bank meets twice this month, if the policymakers “decide to keep policy on hold on April 10, they can always choose to ease further on April 27,” claim the analysts.
J.P.Morgan: in the longer term USD/JPY fair value lies at 115 yen.
Bearish views
BNP Paribas: USD/JPY will fall to 80 yen in Q3 and to 78 yen by the end of 2012.
Standard Chartered: USD/JPY will decline to 77 yen in Q3 and to 74 yen by the end of 2012 as investors seek Japan’s real yields and the US recovery stagnates.
It’s also necessary to note that the BOJ has signaled that it doesn’t want the government to become dependent on it printing money. There is a limit to how much the central bank can do, so the bets on weaker yen may shrink.
Nomura Securities: yen’s decline which started at the beginning of February was caused mainly by global factors (US yields, stabilization in the euro area). Now reversal is likely, so sell USD/JPY stopping at 84.00 yen and targeting 80.00.

Standard Chartered: ECB may have to conduct another LTRO
Monday, April 2, 2012 - 09:15
Analysts at Standard Chartered Bank expect further contraction of euro zone’s GDP. In their view, there are 3 main concerns: austerity measures, credit squeeze and high oil prices. The specialists underline that confidence isn’t back and credit isn’t flowing into the real economy (the money, which the ECB provided the region’s banks through LTRO, hasn’t reached households and companies). The unemployment rate will likely continue to rise (10.8% in February).
The bank claims that “the ‘true’ firewall remains the European Central Bank”. The ECB’s 1 trillion for banks is “the magic number the market wanted to see.” With 2 rounds of loans committed already, “if the crisis escalates, we think the ECB will have no other option but to provide another”.
According to Standard Chartered, EUR/USD will weaken due to the growth differential between the United States and Europe. Euro will be also under pressure due to the ECB’s liquidity increase.

J.P. Morgan: trading AUD/USD on China
Monday, March 26, 2012 - 13:30
Analysts at J.P. Morgan Asset Management believe that in the near term Australian dollar will weaken due to concerns about China’s economic outlook. In the longer term, however, Chinese authorities will be able to improve the situation and promote growth (China's Ministry of Commerce has recently announced the launch of the 2012 Consumption Promotion Month between April 2 and May 4).
As a result, the specialists recommend buying AUD/USD at 1.0100, stopping at 0.9875 and targeting 1.0600.
“If you hold this position over time, you make money on the interest rate differentials as well,” says the bank.
