EUR/USD: bears never left
Friday, June 8, 2012 - 13:09
The EUR/USD cross resumed the bearish movement: euro failed to overcome the $1.2626 resistance (January minimum).
Many analysts believe that yesterday the cross reached its peak before the Greek elections (June 17, Sunday). This week Greek question was a wallflower and the focus moved to Spain, but, obviously, the closer the vote is, the higher is the pressure. However, there are several timid beams of light in Europe: German Chancellor Angela Merkel seems to be ready to act to ensure stability in the euro region, while Spain managed to raise 2 billion euro on a bond auction.
Analysts at Commerzbank believe the EUR/USD cross could continue the upward movement after the current pullback. In their view, the next targets for the pair are $1.2786 and $1.2825. However, the downside is still more likely: support lies at $1.2058 (200-month MA) and $1.2000 (psychological support).
Also note that market players will trade on a strong correlation of EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY with stock markets (uncertainty weighs on stock markets – yen strengthens).

EUR/GBP: technical comments
Friday, June 8, 2012 - 19:11
The EUR/GBP cross is trading sideways since early May. Most analysts expect the pair to continue a downward movement: the ECB is going to lower rates in the forthcoming months, while the sterling will benefit as a safe haven within Europe. For instance, strategists at BNP Paribas expect the pair to reach 0.7899 pounds.
According to analysts at RBS, however, in a short term the EUR/GBP cross is not likely to leave the 0.7951/0.8220 range, because there is a number of important levels inside.
Resistance:
0.8140 (Aug.2010 minimum);
0.8220 (former support).
Support:
0.8066 (June 2010 minimum);
0.7951(2012 minimum);
0.7695 (2010 minimum).

Monday, June 11, 2012 - 07:27
Market prices tend to move towards the strike price at the time large vanilla options (ordinary put and call options) expire. It happens (all things equal) as each side of the deal seeks to hedge its risk exposure. This action is most noticeable ahead of 10 a.m. New York time when the majority of options expire (2 p.m. GMT).
Here are the key options expiring today:
EUR/USD: $1.2500, $1.2510, $1.2650;

CFTC traders positioning data
Monday, June 11, 2012 - 08:42
The latest Commitments of Traders (COT) report, released on Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), showed that during the week to June 5 speculators’ positioning changed the following way:
EUR: the net short position rose by 11K contracts to the new record of 214.4K.
GBP: the net speculative position switched from long to short of 3K contracts for the first time since the end of April.
JPY: the net speculative position switched from short to long of 12.1K contracts for the first time since the end of February.
CHF: the net short position rose from 30.6K to 33.6K contracts – not much of a change.
CAD: the net long position decreased by almost 20K to just less than 15K, the smallest since the end of February.
AUD: the net short position increased from 35.5K to 51.2K contracts. Until recently, the largest net short position since at least 1993 was recorded in 2006 just below 32K contracts – the bears are multiplying.
USD: traders betting on the greenback’s advance held a net $40.06 billion in wagers, up 5% from the previous week. That is similarly a record since at least 2007.
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.

Spanish bailout: mixed feelings
Monday, June 11, 2012 - 10:04
Euro’s reaction at the announcement that Spain will get 100 billion euro to refinance its banks was impressive: the pair EUR/USD opened 130 pips above Friday’s close. However, there are many things which still remain unclear.
Analysts at Danske Bank note that, firstly, it’s not clear who will be providing the funds – the EFSF or ESM? Secondly, the big question is how the rating agencies will react on the news taking into account the fact that the bailout means another 10% of GDP in debt – European nations will lend money not to Spain's banking system directly, but to Spain. Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called the money “a credit line” and not a “bailout”, but that doesn’t seem to reflect the reality. Although this debt will be cheaper than borrowing at the market, it will still increase the nation’s debt burden.
What’s even more important to ask: will 100 billion euro be enough? Although the IMF claimed $50 billion could be an appropriate amount, JPMorgan Chase analysts recently estimated that Spain could need as much as 350 billion euro. Another unknown is how much time Spain will be given to pay back the cash and what kind of conditions could be applied. If Spain gets better terms than other bailed out euro zone countries, this may lead to tensions, particularly with Ireland. Anyway, looks like we’ll get a lot of details in the next few weeks. In addition, don’t forget that there’s the risk that investors’ attention will turn elsewhere, for example, to Italy, whose banks are also in trouble and whose own borrowing costs are rising.

RBS: GBP/USD may break higher
Monday, June 11, 2012 - 11:17
British pound keeps rebounding versus the greenback from 4-1/2 month-minimum at $1.5268 hit on June 1. Today sterling opened with a gap higher following euro and other riskier currencies on relief that Spain will get external funding for its troubled banks.
Analysts at RBS note that the reliable support at $1.5300, which had been tested for several times since 2010, has managed to hold the bears. As a result, the specialists see the chance of sterling’s return to the $1.6000/50 area. In their view, the outlook for the British currency for the rest of the months has improved and GBP/USD has more chances to break higher than EUR/USD.
Resistance: $1.5602 (March 12 minimum, June 7 maximum), $1.5664 (38.2% retracement of the decline in May), $1.5786 (50% retracement).
Support: $1.5514 (23.6% retracement of the decline in May), $1.5300, $1.5233 (2012 minimum).

June 12: economy and currencies
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 07:13
EUR/USD began today’s trading day edging higher. However, the pair’s staying below the strong psychological resistance of $1.2500. On Monday the common currency has sharply declined when the initial optimism caused by the Spain’s bailout request began dissolving as investors realized that the region’s crisis is far from over. Italy’s 10-year bond yields reached 6.03% on yesterday’s auction, while Spain’s borrowing costs have already overcome the 6.50% threshold. Riskier currencies such as Australian and New Zealand’s dollar recovered from yesterday minimums, but the trade promised to be quite choppy this week, so be careful.
The Japanese yen declines against its major peers after the International Monetary fund said that the currency is overvalued and the Bank of Japan should ease the monetary policy further. In other words, the IMF justifies the potential BoJ intervention at forex market. The next BoJ policy meeting is scheduled on Friday, June 15. Note that Japanese tertiary industry activity went down by 0.3% in April (consensus-forecast was +0.4%). USD/JPY consolidated above Kijun-sen at the daily Ichimoku chart in the 79.10/80 area.
Events to watch today:
Euro zone: Greek T-bill auction.
