Dollar up to 98.50 as sterling and euro lose

Dollar yen got a bit nervy in the seconds leading up to the release, falling to 98.06 but then found it’s stride and has pooped up to 98.50, The euro popped to 1.3785 then dropped to 1.3728. Cable has fallen to 1.6025 but has held ahead of support at 1.6020.
Having done a quick text comparison from last months meeting there’s nothing of note between the texts so it’s business as usual. Nothing on the shutdown or Washington shenanigans and I think they may use this card at a later stage like next…

BOJ could re-write the playbook on defeating deflation

What economists don’t like to tell you is that price inflation doesn’t really matter. Prices can only go up for so long until people can’t afford the good.
What matters is wage inflation, which can spiral out of control. Here’s the corollary, what if you’re stuck in a nearly 20-year deflationary cycle? Why not go right to the heart of the matter and target wage increases? That’s…

Future volatility trends in major currency pairs.

One of the fascinations for market watchers, is looking at a price ahead of an `important` piece of news, and the subsequent price action following publication, that is, how much of the real number is already `in the price`. The anticipation of certain statistics is one thing, but on a more macro level, there are times when certain assumptions gradually creep into market thinking, and it is always useful to review these.
Cable has been one of the best performers on the world currency stage recen…

USD/JPY plows above 98.00. Look at the orders

USD/JPY is on a roll.
It dipped to 97.63 after the jobless claims numbers but has ripped to 98.14 since. It’s the highest since September 30 — before the government shutdown. There are some mid-sized offers at 98.20 with more stops above. Larger offers are at 98.50.
There are 98.05 and 98.25 option expiries but they’re so small they’re insignificant. There is nothing large on the calendar today but tomorrow there are large 98.75 and 99.36 strikes.
EUR/JPY is testing stops above 132.65 — high so…

Yen stands out as haven in US debt drama

Yen stands out as haven in US debt drama:
  • The yen has emerged as the preferred haven for investors worried by the stand-off in US debt talks
  • no sense of panic in foreign exchange markets, with investors assuming that US politicians will eventually strike a deal,
  • there has not yet been a general flight from currencies viewed as riskier
  • analysts expect a greater flight to haven currencies if talks drag on and say there is greatest immediate scope for flows into the yen

US Headed for a Government Shutdown

Early on Sunday the US House voted, once again, to tie a vote on government funding to a one-year delay of Obamacare. The Senate has twice rejected the amendment and will rejected it again. If not, Obama will veto it.
The seeming lack of progress means a shutdown at midnight on Monday is increasingly likely. It will be the first government shutdown since 1996.
With the Tea Party seemingly taking control of Republican leadership, there is a chance this could be an extended fight. When markets ope…

How the GDP will affect the USD/JPY?

The USD/JPY and the GDP: How Will it Affect this Currency Pair? The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country refers to a country’s total economic output. The number reflects the total production, income and consumption from different sectors that include manufacturing, services, agriculture, mining, and numerous other areas. To get the most accurate result, population growth, inflation and deflation should ideally be considered in the total. For example, if the population growth increases prop…

Foreign Currency Losses Were Telegraphed in Advance

In a recent Wall Street Journal article by Alex Frangos, ““Top Banks Missed Call Y100 Level Soon,” it was reported that not a single analyst from 15 financial institutions expected the Japanese Yen to fall to 100 per US Dollar. Across the board, investors in traditional safe haven assets such as gold and foreign currency were caught unprepared by the impact of Quantitative Easing III and other money creating efforts by the world's central bankers. Losses have been so heavy that some asset manag…
