Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
22 Feb 2018 04:10GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2280.. Euro languishes near Asian 9-day trough at 1.2265 after tumbling from New York high of 1.2359 following release of FOMC minutes.
Price fell ahead of Asian open and hit said intra-day low after tripping stops below 1.2275/80.

Although the single currency has finally stabilised and range trading is likely to be seen in post-Asian lunch session, intra-day broad-based usd's strength (except vs the yen) suggests selling euro on recovery is still the favoured strategy, however, price is likely to hit a temp. low soon, so be nimble n be quick to exit recent shorts on next leg of decline.

Pay attention to release of key German Ifo data and more importantly, minutes of ECB monetary policy meeting during European morning trading.

On the data front, we have France's bus. climate, CPI, Germany's Ifo bus. climate n bus. conditions, Italy's industrial orders n sales plus final reading of CPI. ECB's Mersch will speaking at banking conference in Frankfurt at 09:30GMT.

23 Feb 2018 03:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2312.. Euro has come under selling pressure in Asian morning after staging a rally from Thursday's 9-day trough of 1.2260 in Europe.

Despite a initial knee-jerk reaction n then a brief jump to 1.2308 after release of ECB minutes, price fell back to 1.2265 in early New York trading but then started to rally due to broad-based usd's weakness n also falling U.S. yields. The pair climbed to session highs of 1.2352 in New York morning n later moved narrowly in New York afternoon.

Looks like 1st leg of correction from 1.2260 is over at 1.2352 and range trading is in store until European open, one can trade euro from both sides of the market.
Bids ate noted at 1.2305/00 with some stops below there, more stops are touted below 1.2260.
On the upside, offers are tipped at 1.2350/60 with stops above 1.2370.

AceTraderFx Feb 26: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views -USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
26 Feb 2018 04:20GMT

USD/JPY - 106.54.. The greenback went through a roller-coaster ride in hectic Tokyo trading. Despite extending rebound from Friday's 106.51 (New York) low to 107.28 in New Zealand, dlr came under selling pressure shortly after Tokyo open, intra-day decline accelerated on broad-based yen buying partly on falling U.S. yields despite dovish comments by BoJ Governor Kuroda.

Although intra-day break of Friday's 106.51 low suggests near term downside bias remains, as broad outlook is consolidative, steep fall is therefore unlikely.
Offers are tipped at 106.80/90 and more above.
Bids are noted at 106.45-35 with stops touted below 106.10.

U.S. will release a slew of eco. data starting from building permits, Chicago Fed National Activity index, new home sales and Dallas Fed manuf. business index. Also, St. Louis Fed's Dallas (non-voter) will speak at 13:00GMT.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
27 Feb 2018 04:00GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2331.. Trading the single currency proved to be tricky in yesterday's roller-coaster session.
Despite initial dip to 1.2280, euro rallied on intra-day selloff in dlr/yen and climbed to 1.2355 in Europe and later fell to 1.2278 in New York morning after ECB Draghi's mildly dovish comments, however, short covering later lifted price back to 1.2319 at the close.

Despite initial narrow move in Australia, intra-day decline in dlr/yen sent the euro back up to 1.2343 in Asia before retreating ahead of Tokyo lunch break.
Looks like choppy sideways swings would continue in European morning as traders are keeping their powder dry ahead of testimony by Fed's Chairman Powell.
Offers are tipped at 1.2340/50 with stops above 1.2355/60.
Bids are noted at 1.2310-00 with stops below 1.2275, more stops are touted below 1.2250.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
28 Feb 2018 03:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2219.. Euro languished just above Asian near 3-week trough of 1.2215 after intra-day marginal break of yesterday's New York low post-Fed Powell's testimony.

Despite staging a short-covering rebound after intra-day selloff from 1.2346 (Europe) to as low as 1.2221 after hawkish comments by new Fed Chairman J. Powell on his first Congressional testimony, renewed selling quickly emerged and pushed price down.
Euro traded narrowly in subdued Asian morning before falling again ahead of Tokyo lunch break.

Although euro remains on the back foot, minor range trading is likely ahead of European open, having said that, short-term specs are eager to test euro's downside with stops below Feb's 1.2206 low (mkt reported stops below 1.2200) are now in focus, so selling the single currency on recovery is still favoured.
Offers are tipped at 1.2240/50 with stops above 1.2260.
Some bids (profit taking) are noted at 1.2215-05.

The euro area countries will release a slew of eco. data during European morning starting with Germany's consumer confidence, France's consumer spending, GDP, CPI n PPI, Germany's unemployment, Italy's CPI n lastly the same from the EU.

AceTraderFx Mar 01: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views -USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
01 Mar 2018 03:30GMT

USD/JPY - 106.69.. The pair remained under pressure in relatively subdued trading in Asian morning due to continued yen's strength despite usd's broad-based gain.
Traders cited selling by Japanese exporters' month-end yen buying, falling U.S. yields n weakness in the Nikkie were contributing factors to dlr's decline which bean yesterday.

Having said that, usd's expected gain vs other G7 counterparts should prevent steep fall and as long as this week's low at 106.38 (Monday), further choppy sideways swings would continue and price may ratchet higher later in the day if U.S. yields rebound.
For now, bids are noted at 106.55/45 with stops reported below 106.30.
Offers are tipped at 106.75/85 with some stops above 107.00.

U.S. will release a slew of eco. data starting with the key Jan's core PCE price index (Fed's favourite inflation gauge), PCE, personal income n spending, initial jobless claims, Markit manuf. PMI, construction spending n ISM manuf. PMI.

AceTraderFx Mar 02: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views -USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
02 Mar 2018 04:05GMT

USD/JPY - 106.04.. Dlr remains on the back foot in Asian morning as Asian traders sold the usd vs G4 counterparts following o/n selloff in New York in reaction to Trump's announcement to impose hefty U.S. import tariffs on steel and aluminium, price fell from 106.30 to a fresh 2-week low of 105.94 ahead of Tokyo lunch break before rebounding on short covering.

Yesterday's break of last week's 106.38 low (now res) and then daily close below there suggests correction from February's fresh 15-month bottom has ended and price is en route to re-test this level, possibly in New York trading later today, then towards next chart obj. at 105.00 (there is rumour of option defence at this 'psychological level).

Therefore, selling dlr on recovery is the way to go due to yen buying on risk aversion in reaction to market jitters of a global trade war following Trump's action.
Offers are tipped at 106.20/30 n more above with stops above 106.55/60.
Some bids are noted at 105.95/90 with stops building below 105.50.

T.G.I.F. after a tumultuous week, however, U.S. will release ISM New York index and then University of Michigan consumer confidence later but market attention is global stock market reaction to Trump's decision to impose import tariffs and dollar's reaction (pun intended) on this.

AceTraderFx Mar 05: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views -USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
05 Mar 2018 03:05GMT

USD/JPY - 105.47.. Dlr swung broadly sideways in Asian morning as market focus is on the euro.
Despite opening flat in New Zealand on Monday, intra-day gain in the euro led to broad-based usd's weakness and the pair fell from 105.72 to 105.43 before rebounding to 105.56 due to sharp retreat in the eur/usd.

Looks like choppy trading above Friday's fresh 15-month trough above 105.25 would continue and as long as this temp. low holds, a modest corrective bounce to 105.90/00 is still likely.
Bids are noted at 105.45-35 with stops below 105.25, however, there is talk of option defence above the psychological 105.00 level.
On the upside, offers are tipped at 105.65/75 and more above with stops reported above 106.00.

U.S. will release Markit services PMI, the ISM non-mfg PMI at 14:45GMT n 15:00GMT respectively. We also have Chicago Fed's Evans (non-voter) speaking at 17:00GMT.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
06 Mar 2018 03:15GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2350.. The euro regained traction in Asian trading as euro bulls are back in control after market shrugged off initial political jitters in Italy following Sun's election which delivered a hung parliament.

Despite initial choppy sideways swings in New York morning, intra-day rally in cable lifted the single currency to 1.2349 near New York midday and today's break above this res to 1.2363 in Asia suggests re-test of yesterday's 10-day top at 1.2365 would be seen, so buying euro on dips is the way to go for resumption of upmove from last week's 7-week bottom at 1.2155 (Thursday).
Bids are noted at 1.2335-25 n more below with stops below 1.2300.
Offers are tipped at 1.2365/75 with stops reported above 1.2415.

No eco. data is due out fm the euro area countries today so funds flow will have a greater impact on intra-day price movement during European morning.

AceTraderFx Mar 07: Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views -USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
07 Mar 2018 03:25GMT

USD/JPY - 105.69.. Dlr has stabilised after initial selloff ahead of Tokyo open when news of resignation of Trump's top economic adviser Gary Cohn hit the wires around 22:30GMT.

The pair tumbled from 106.18 (AUS) to as low as 105.56 on broad-based active yen buying due to renewed market jitters of escalating trade tensions (as Cohn resigned due to dispute with Trump over trade tariffs), however, short covering later lifted dlr to 105.86 (yesterday's low, now res - pretty technical reaction) before retreating.

Expect range trading above 105.46 ahead of European open n pay attention to reaction by European traders on the Cohn' news.
For now, offers are tipped at 105.85/90 with stops above 106.00, bids are noted at 105.50-40 with stops below 105.25, however, there has been recent market chatter of option defence at 105.00 (this level may be a tough nut to crack this week) with stops reported below 105.00.

U.S. will release a slew of eco. data and the most important one is ADP private payrolls at 13:15GMT, then trade balance, labor costs, non-farm productivity and lastly, Fed Beige book. We also have 2 voting members of the FOMC officials speaking, first is out-going NY Fed's Dudley and then Atlanta Fed's Bostic.
