Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 04 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

USD/JPY - 108.53... The greenback gained some respite and staged a short-covering rebound after yesterday's selloff from 109.20 in Asia to as low as 108.49 in New York on risk-averse buying in jpy after President Trump said a trade deal with China may be delayed until after the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. However, renewed selling emerged at 108.67 at Asian open today on comments from China's Foreign Ministry and knocked price back down to 108.49.

Dollar's fall to 108.49 suggests decline from Monday's 6-month peak at 109.72 remains in progress and selling on intra-day recovery for a stronger retracement of MT upmove is favored. Offers are now seen at 108.60/70 and more above at 108.80/90 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 108.10/20.

There is a slew of U.S. data to be released today but pay particular attention to ADP employment at 13:15GMT and ISM non-manufacturing PMI at 15:00GMT . Street forecasts are 140k and 54.5 vs previous readings of 125k and 54.7 respectively.

AceTraderFx Dec 05: Intra-Day News and Views & data to be released today -GBP/USD

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 05 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

GBP/USD - 1.3116... The British pound went through a hectic session yesterday as despite falling to session lows at 1.2983 at European open, price jumped after penetrating October's 1.3012 top to 1.3063 on the back of upbeat UK services PMI and continued to ratchet higher on increasing expectation that the Conservative Party will win the election next week with a majority. Price then hit a near 7-month peak at 1.3120 in New York morning and continues to trade with a firm bias in Asia today.

Cable's intra-day strength after yesterday's rally to 1.3120 suggests Medium Term upmove from September's 34-month trough at 1.1959 remains in progress and further gain to 1.3150/60 would be seen. Bids are now raised to 1.3100/10 and more below at 1.3080/90 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 1.3170/80.

As there is no economic data due from the UK today, market focus remains on UK's election next week and the polls that will be released in the lead up to it. A narrowing lead for the Conservatives could trigger long liquidation on the pound and send it lower.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 06 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

GBP/USD - 1.3158.. The British pound remains on the front foot after continuing its recent winning streak to a 7-month peak of 1.3166 near New York midday due to broad-based buying in sterling esp. vs the euro (eur/gbp cross tumbled to a fresh 2-1/2 year trough of 0.8431) as market's optimism of a Conservative election win (instead of a hung Parliament) triggered speculative buying as well as short covering in the pound.

With the daily chart continues to point for a higher cable ahead of Dec 12 U.K. general election, one can expect cable to head towards 1.3383 (2019 peak in Mar) next week. Having said that, short-term risk remains for the pound especially if U.S. NFP comes in as per market forecast of a 180K increase, then a long liquidation may occur but position takers should use any 50-75 points pullback as buying opportunity to load up more cable.
For now, bids are noted at 1.3150-30 are with some stops below 1.3120, more stops are touted below 1.3080.
Offers are tipped at 1.3165/75 with some stops reported abv 1.3200.

Eco. calendar is pretty light in the U.K. with Halifax home prices being the only data due out at 08:30GMT.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 09 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

USD/JPY - 108.58.. Asian traders who did not follow the N. American market will be forgiven to think Fri's U.S. jobs data must be soft as current price is trading below Fri's Asian range of 108.66-78.

Who would have guessed the greenback jumped from 108.53 to 108.91 after blowout U.S. non-farm payrolls but only to erase intra-day gains n later tumbled to 108.53 after U.S. Economic Advisor Kudlow's mildly downbeat comments on latest U.S.-China trade talks. Intra-day softness after early release of upbeat Japan's Q3 GDP suggests downside bias remains for re-test of last week's low at 108.44 (Wednesday), break would extend decline from last Monday's 6-month peak at 109.72 to 108.25 but reckon Nov's low at 107.90 would hold.
Offers are tipped at 108.70/80 with stops above 109.00 whilst bids are seen at 108.55-8 with stops below 108.40 and more below 108.25.

After Friday's release of monthly blockbuster U.S. jobs data, no economic indicator is due out today.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 10 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

GBP/USD - 1.3155... The British went through a roller-coaster ride yesterday as despite falling to 1.3130 in New Zealand, price jumped to a 7-month peak at 1.3180 ahead of European open on continued optimism that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party will win with majority in this week's election. However, price then pared its gains and retreated to 1.3136 in New York after an ICM poll showed a narrowing lead for the Conservatives, then marginally lower to 1.3135 in Australia today before staging a rebound.

Cable's intra-day rebound from 1.3135 suggests the pullback from yesterday's high at 1.3180 has ended there and trading from long side for a resumption of MT uptrend is favored.
Bids are now seen at 1.3140/50 and more below at 1.3120/30 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 1.3210/20.

There is a slew of UK data to be released today but particular attention should be given to UK's GDP release at 09:30GMT. Street forecasts for mm and yy are 0.1% and 0.7% vs previous readings of -0.1% and 0.9% respectively.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 11 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

GBP/USD - 1.3135... The British pound proved quite tricky to trade yesterday as despite initial drop to session lows at 1.3133 in European morning, price gained to 1.3190 on cross-buying in sterling especially vs euro. Renewed buying at 1.3156 in New York morning lifted the pair to an 8-1/2 month peak at 1.3215 on expectation that the Conservatives Party will win Thursday's election with a majority. However, the pair swiftly erased its losses and tumbled to 1.3107 (Reuters) in Australia after YouGov's final poll showed a narrowing lead for the Conservatives.

Cable's selloff from 1.3215 to 1.3107 suggests upmove from September's trough at 1.1959 has made a temporary top there and stronger retracement to 1.3066 would be seen.
Offers are seen at 1.3140/50 and more above at 1.3160/70 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 1.3050/60.

In the absence of major economic data from UK, market focus remains on the election on Thursday and with no more polls expected to be released, one should keep an eye on the eur/gbp cross.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 12 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

USD/JPY - 108.54... The greenback swung wildly yesterday as despite initial bounce to session highs at 108.85 in Asia, price retreated to 108.67, then marginally lower to 108.66 in Europe before recovering. The pair then met renewed selling at 108.76 in New York afternoon and dropped to session lows at 108.47 on usd's weakness in post-FOMC trading, then lower to 108.46 at Asian open today before recovering.

Dollar's fall to 108.47 yesterday and intra-day break of this level suggests a re-test of last week's low at 108.44 is seen, break would extend to 108.20/25. Therefore, selling on intra-day recovery for resumption of decline from December's 6-month peak at 109.72 is favored.
Offers are now seen at 108.60/70 and more above at 108.80/90 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 108.20/30.

Pay attention to the release of U.S. jobless claims at 13:30GMT. Street forecast is for an increase to 213k from previous reading of 203k.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 13 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1174... The single currency swung wildly yesterday as despite edging up to 1.1144 in Asian morning, price retreated to 1.1124 in European morning before rising briefly to session highs at 1.1154 on President Lagarde's mildly hawkish comments during her press conference after the ECB decided to keep its rates unchanged. However, the pair then fell to session lows at 1.1104 in New York afternoon on usd's strength before staging a recovery to 1.1134 near New York closing. Price then jumped in tandem with sterling to 1.1199 in Australia before retreating on profit-taking.

Euro's intra-day rise above October's 2-month peak at 1.1179 signals upmove from 2019 trough at 1.0880 (October) has once again resumed and further gain to 1.1220/30 would be seen.
Bids are now seen at 1.1160/70 and more below at 1.1140/50 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 1.1240/50.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 16 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1129... The single currency went through a roller-coaster session on Friday as despite rising in tandem with cable to a 6-month high 1.1199 in Australia, price retreated to 1.1164 ahead of European open and then fell sharply to session lows at 1.1112 in New York afternoon before stabilising. The pair then opened marginally higher and gained to 1.1133 in New Zealand before trading sideways.

Euro's selloff from Friday's 6-month high at 1.1199 to 1.1112 suggests upmove from 2019 trough at 1.0880 (October) has made a temporary top there and consolidation with downside bias remains for stronger retracement to 1.1071.
Offers are now seen at 1.1140/50 and more above at 1.1160/70 with stops building up above there whilst initial bids are noted at 1.1050/60. Hence, selling on intra-day recovery is the way to go.

There is a slew of PMIs to be released from the eurozone but one should pay particular attention to Germany's manufacturing and services PMIs at 08:30GMT. Street forecasts are for an uptick to 44.5 and 52.0 from previous readings of 44.1 and 51.7 respectively.

However, renewed selling at 1.3353 near New York closing and fell to 1.3236 at Asian open on report of Brexit transition period (see MMN below) before staging a short-covering rebound.

Cable's intra-day fall below yesterday's low at 1.3322 to 1.3236 suggests decline from last Friday's 1-1/2 year peak at 1.3516 has once again resumed.
