FXStreet (San Francisco) - The US dollar is trading under pressure amid weaker than expected housing and PMI services data in the United States as well as lower US yields. The USD/JPY is extending declines to 107.60 area after breaking previous lows of 107.70.
Services PMI declined to 57.3 in October; more than 58.0 expected and lowest since April. The pending home sales index rose 'only' 0.3% in September, below 0.5% increase expected.
US 10-year yield is now trading at 2.243% after declining from 2.298% daily high amid weak US data. As Omkar Godbole from FXStreet points out, "the yield has an immediate resistance at 2.3%, while the support is located at 2.229% (Oct 24th low)."

USD/JPY sentiment
The USD/JPY is trading down amid US data and affected by US yields; however, "the ECB announce their ABS spending spree thus far at the bottom of the hour," points out Ryan Littlestone from ForexLive. There shouldn’t be too much market reaction as there’s not much to gauge how they should be doing. That won’t stop some from having a guess at what they think the ECB should be doing so bear it in mind."
Short term supports are at 107.60, 107.45 and 107.35. To the upside, resistances are at 07.90, 108.00 and 108.35.

EUR rise likely limited to 1.2860 - UOB Group
FXStreet (Łódź) - The Market Strategy Team at UOB Group suggests that we will see some more EUR gains today but the climb will most probably be limited to the 1.2860 level for now.
Key Quotes
"EUR broke above the strong resistant at 1.2750 reaching an overnight high of 1.2763."
"While further EUR strength is likely in the coming days, upward momentum is not very strong at this stage and any further rally will likely struggle to move above the recent high near 1.2860."
"However, only an unlikely break below the key support at 1.2640 would indicate that the prevalent upward pressure has eased."

Focus on potential changes to Fed forward guidance statement - TD Securities
FXStreet (Łódź) - The TD Securities team of experts note that EUR/USD is trading flat ahead of the Fed monetary policy announcement which is expected to bring the end of QE3.
Key quotes
"This FOMC meeting should mark the end of the QE3 program. However, with domestic economic growth momentum beginning to leak lower (e.g., the Atlanta Fed GDP Q3 projection stands at 2.7% q/q annualized, down from 3.2% a couple of weeks ago), and the medium term outlook for the recovery and inflation becoming less certain, there will be no incentives to appear hawkish."
"The key element today will be any potential changes to the forward guidance statement that would remove the reference to the fed funds rate staying at current levels for a 'considerable time after the asset purchase program ends' and make the timing for liftoff more data dependent."
"Market pricing currently implies a first hike would occur in October 2015. And, as price action yesterday demonstrated, the FX market in particular appears to be very sensitive to changes around Fed timing expectations."
"Disappointing US data saw the USD falling quite noticeable across the board, whereas both EURUSD and USDJPY had ignored domestic data releases earlier in the day."
"Overnight, USDJPY once again was unresponsive to a stronger-than-expected industrial production reading. The risk, however, is that the statement fails to live up to the overly dovish tone that the market may be expecting."
"In this case, we would expect to see USDJPY pushing higher into the high 108s, and EURUSD having a somewhat more pronounced reaction, pushing lower into the low 1.26 area."

FXStreet (Łódź) - FXStreet Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik observes that the post-Fed strength of the USD extended in the European session with the EUR/USD trading close to the 1.2580 region.

"Later on the day, the US will release the Advanced GDP for the third quarter, expected at 3.1%."
"Previous quarter was revised up to 4.6%, so a better than expected number should boost the greenback, yet a not so good one needs to be extremely disappointing, something below 2% to actually reverse latest dollar gains."
"Technically, the 4 hours chart shows indicators still heading south despite in oversold territory, with 20 SMA now turning south well above current price, in the 1.2680 level."
"A break below 1.2550 should lead to a downward extension towards 1.2500, this year low, whilst a break below exposes 1.2440 as next probable bearish target."
"Price needs to advance above 1.2620 to begin an upward move, eyeing then a probable move up to 1.2660/80 area, next selling level on pullbacks."

“Often, in the things economists study and the methods we use, diversity is a good thing,” Yellen said. “I believe decisions by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Open Market Committee are better because of the range of views and perspectives brought to the table by my fellow policymakers, and I have encouraged this approach to decision making at all levels and throughout the Fed system.”

USD/JPY wobbling around 109.00
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - USD/JPY is sidelining around the 109.00 handle on Thursday, keeping the trade between 108.80 and 109.40 so far.
USD/JPY looks to Japanese CPI
Spot remained practically indifferent to the improvement of the US GDP during Q3, expanding above forecasts 3.5% on a yearly basis. Instead, market participants are now focusing on the critical inflation figures in Japan, due tonight. Consensus expect the key National CPI Ex-Fresh Food to rise at an annual pace of 3.0% in September, a tad lower than August’s 3.1% advance. Robert Rennie, Strategist at Westpac, suggested, “We… hold a buy bias for another week but remain unconvinced that USD/JPY will drop much below 107”.
USD/JPY levels to watch
As of writing the pair is up 0.10% at 109.00 facing the next resistance at 109.85 (high Oct.6) ahead of 109.91 (high Oct.3) and finally 110.09 (2014 high Oct.1). On the flip side, a breakdown of 108,75 (low Oct.30) would aim for 107.94 (low Oct.29) and then 107.71 (Tenkan Sen).

Natural Gas rises on weather reports
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Natural gas prices have inched higher despite a bearish weekly storage report released yesterday as the updated weather forecast models indicate the chilly weather in the days ahead.
Natural Gas for December delivery is trading 1.57% higher at USD 3.887/mmbtu. The prices gained strength after the updated weather forecast models predicted cold Canadian air to make its way south in the lower 48 states in the coming days. "I think people are a little leery of selling it down further when you've got your first real cold front coming in," said Kyle Cooper, managing partner of research consultancy IAF Advisors in Houston.
Moreover, the heating season from November through March is the peak demand period for US gas consumption.
Natural Gas Technical levels
Natural Gas has an immediate support at 3.874, under which the prices can fall to 3.83 levels. On the flip side, the prices can rise to 4.00, if the immediate resistance located at 3.955 is breached.

BoJ QE increase and Fed QE end could impact USD/JPY - J.P. Morgan






FXStreet (Łódź) - The J.P. Morgan team of analysts see believe that the sharper divergence between the BoJ's and the Fed's monetary policies could have a considerable impact on USD/JPY.


Key quotes


"Possible change in relative balance sheet between the BoJ / the Fed and real yield differentials between Japan / US suggest a significant upside risk in USD/JPY."


"We now see USD/JPY to appreciate to 120 by September 2015. We recommend buying a 6-mo 114-120 USD/JPY call spread against selling a 6-mo 107 put, RKI 104. This costs 12bp."


"Today, the BoJ unexpectedly decided to expend QQE by a 5-4 vote."


"Today’s decision indicated BoJ's seriousness to push up Japan's inflation to 2%. Indeed, in their semi-annual Outlook Report, BoJ did not change their forecast of core CPI for FY 2016 at 2.1% (excluding the impact of consumption tax hike)."


"BoJ decided to hold more risky assets in their asset side and put liability side (the yen note) at risks. BoJ seems to be very serious to devalue the currency they issue."


"If the BoJ, who issue the yen note, are so serious to devalue of the yen, probably it will happen. The next question may be if they can stop the devaluation once Japanese people start worrying about holding the yen note."


"Indeed, the giant fund who manages pension money of Japanese people already shows the way. The GPIF also announced new target for their portfolio today."


"Under the new portfolio, GPIF will have to sell large amount of JGB, which will be absorbed by the BoJ, and buy more stocks and foreign assets. Actually, new allocation was also surprising to us because they will increase more foreign assets compare to we thought."

USD/CAD looking to recover 1.1300
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After bottoming out in sub-1.1270 levels, USD/CAD is now recovering the ground lost and aiming for the 1.1300 handle.
USD/CAD eyes on US docket
Spot is advancing for the second consecutive session so far, targeting the interim resistance at Friday’s peaks around 1.1330 against a backdrop of a persistent USD strength. Next of relevance for the pair will be the reports of both Canadian and US manufacturing sectors, with the releases of the RBC PMI and the ISM and PMI gauged by Markit, respectively. According to the last CFTC report, strategists at Rabobank noted, “CAD positions were mostly consolidative, though soft oil prices have pushed CAD shorts to their highest level since June”.
USD/CAD levels to watch
As of writing the pair is advancing 0.14% at 1.1282 and a surpass of 1.1332 (high Oct.31) would open the door to 1.1360 (high oct.16) and then 1.1385 (2014 high Oct.15). On the other side, the immediate support lines up at 1.1264 (low Nov.3) ahead of 1.1227 (Tenkan Sen) and then 1.1183 (low Oct.31).

Bullish outlook for USD/CAD - TD Securities
FXStreet (Łódź) - The TD Securities team of experts observe that the headwinds for the CAD such as weaker commodities, continue this week so the bull trend for USD/CAD should remain in place for now.
Key quotes
"The week ahead will be hallmarked by two dual releases in the form of US and Canadian trade figures tomorrow and both countries’ employment reports on Friday."
"In a nutshell, we are expecting Canadian trade to surprise on the upside and we have an on-consensus view on Canadian employment, whereas we are slightly below consensus on US trade but above consensus on US employment."
"The first hurdle for the CAD will be trade—and we think risks here are somewhat asymmetric; ok-to-good data do little positive for the CAD but another disappointing outcome will hurt the CAD more. If both our employment forecasts come to fruition (-10K in Canada vs +239K in the US), funds will surely have another big up day Friday."
"Governor Poloz speaks this afternoon at an event organized by the Canadian Council for Public Private Partnerships. We do not expect his speech to break new ground on the BoC latest thinking but the press conference scheduled at 14.00ET bears watching, as it will provide journalists the opportunities to ask the questions they could not ask upon the release of the MPR on October 22nd."
"We remain conviction bulls on USDCAD; the headwinds we noted for the CAD last week—softer commodities and wider (more USD-supportive– remain evident at the start of the week and the charts are shaping up quite bullishly; the 40-day MA hold last week suggests the broader bull trend is intact, the consolidation (bull flag) break out points to more immediate gains and new highs, the higher weekly high negates a mildly negative weekly candle in the week before last."
"We think modest dips are a buy and we would be reluctant to fade gains from here—USDCAD is shaping up for a move (recall weekly technicals point to 1.18+)."

Miner stocks hurt by rout in Gold prices
FXStreet (Mumbai) - A sharp decline in the Gold prices witnessed in the last week led to a sharp sell-off in the miner stock prices in the US.
The top five gold miners fell almost 12% on average in the last two trading sessions of the previous week. Kinross Gold fell 20% last week and trades nearly 50% down in 2014. Meanwhile, Roxgold and Romarco Minerals were most notable among losers, down 27% and 22% respectively. Barrick and Goldcorp's share prices fell 7% and 12% respectively.
Moreover, the fall in some of the stocks was three times more than that of the fall in Gold prices, which indicates the sell-off may be overdone.

AUD/NZD hovering around 1.1240
FXStreet (Córdoba) - AUD/NZD remains flat on Tuesday after RBA decision and ahead of key economic data from New Zealand.
The pair bottomed during the Asian session after economic numbers from Australia and the RBA statement at 1.1207, reaching the lowest price since last Friday but then bounced to the upside and printed a daily high on European hours at 1.1272.
AUD/NZD technical outlook
In the short term the pair remains moving sideways, in a range between 1.1210 and 1.1270; with a bias that favors the aussie. But the area around 1.1300 has become a key resistance.
After Wall Street closing bell the NZ employment report will be release and is likely to impact in the kiwi. Weak numbers could push the pair to test 1.1300 while to the downside, 1.1190 - 1.1200 is an important support area to consider if employment figures surpass expectations.

Silver trades below USD 16.00





FXStreet (Mumbai) - Silver prices have failed to sustain gains above USD 16.00 levels, after ending the previous session at USD 16.20/Oz levels.


Silver is trading 1.62% lower at USD 15.938/Oz levels today, after having struggled repeatedly around USD 16.20 levels. The recovery seen yesterday may have been driven by a bout of profit booking on the short positions. Moreover, Silver is down 16% on the year, while the recent slump has been more than the one witnessed in the Gold prices. A sharp rise in the US Dollar index has pressurized the precious metals pack.


Meanwhile, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data for the week ended Oct. 28 revealed that the money-managers boosted their net-short in silver, pushing it to the highest level since June 3. Their bearish position now stands at 10,321 contracts. The large speculators cut 251 gross longs and added 1,434 gross shorts. Elsewhere, non-commercials added 135 gross longs and 1,638 gross shorts, making them net-short 98 contracts.


Silver Technical levels


Silver has an immediate support at 15.887, under which the prices can fall to 15.74 levels. On the other hand, resistance is seen at 16.14 and 16.20 levels.

A “dot hike” from the Fed on the cards? - BAML
FXStreet (Guatemala) - Ralph Axel, Rates Strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch notes the forthcoming consensus for the US jobs report in Nonfarm Payrolls could be a catalyst for a shift in sentiment around the feds first rate hike.
Key Quotes:
"A consensus or moderately below-consensus jobs report on Friday we believe can create an even greater divergence between the market and the Fed around the latter's expected tightening cycle”.
“While such a report would result in an unchanged market or even lower yields on a weaker report, it could cause the Fed to increase its dots in next month's dot plot - a "dot hike" - which given the very large discrepancy between the market and dots should be a substantial hawkish surprise for markets."
"The unemployment rate this Friday is the key number for the Fed, and we would view a 5.9% rate, which is the consensus, as providing a great opportunity to sell the front end of the rates market, preferably using EDZ6 euro/dollar contracts or 5y Treasuries, futures or swaps. If the unemployment rate drops to 5.8% or lower, especially with a weak nonfarm headline number, our conviction in this trade would increase materially

EUR/USD falls below 1.2500 on Draghi's comments on Thursday - BTMU
FXStreet (Łódź) - Derek Halpenny, European Head of Currency Strategy at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ remarks that following Mario Draghi's comments on the balance sheet size and hints on further easing EUR/USD dropped below the 1.2500 level.
Key Quotes
"The power of communication. For so long earlier this year, the ECB’s communication wasn’t having much impact but once action is taken by a central bank to back up its words, then communication can turn into a very powerful tool. And so it was yesterday with ECB President Draghi’s explicit comment on balance sheet size and clear hints on further easing pushing the EUR/USD rate well below the 1.2500 level that had been holding for a time."
"The explicit mention of the balance sheet going back to “2012 dimensions” also served the purpose of undermining the speculation fuelled by a market report that there were divisions within the ECB Council over President Draghi’s communication style, like communicating a balance sheet target when it was agreed not to. Not only did Draghi mention “2012 dimensions”, he made clear that referred to the time after the second LTRO when the balance sheet hit its EUR 3trn peak.0"
"In terms of what has changed, Draghi also intimated that the ECB staff forecasts next month will be lowered again – the current inflation forecasts for 2015 and 2016 are 1.1% and 1.4% respectively. The European Commission this week put inflation in those years at just 0.8% and 1.5%."
"So we are quite likely to see a notable change to the 2015 level although it is debatable whether the 2016 level will be changed. Apart from the fall in crude oil prices, there has not really been any dramatic change in economic conditions."
"Indeed, Italy and France have backed away from fiscal austerity, helping the growth outlook. Nonetheless, the change in inflation outlook appears the key factor for allowing Draghi to hint at further action by stating that the ECB Council has been “tasked with preparing further measures if needed”."
"Finally, from an FX perspective, our current EUR/USD forecasts were based on the assumption of no full-blown sovereign debt QE (1.1800 Q3 2015). That assumption is looking questionable at the moment and hence our forecasts may require downward revisions."
"Draghi did emphasise the widening monetary divergence ahead and with asset purchases set to continue for two years, EUR/USD will continue to fall. We are still not convinced of sovereign debt QE being unleashed in December and hence for now we will maintain our 1.2500 end-2014 target."

GBP/USD ignored the disappointing Trade Balance
FXStreet (Moscow) - GBP/USD is still trading above 1.58 area practically ignoring the UK Trade Balance.
The pound has become immune to weaker-than-expected data, as just released Trade Balance was practically ignored by the currency. No wonder, given the series of disappointments from PMI releases, and the recent impressive sell-off of the pair. The yesterday’s Services PMI printed lowest level since May 2013, and it pushed the pair to 14-month low. The pair may take a pause for now waiting for the key US release to come, and if the American report proves to be better than expected, it may kill any hope for the pound sending it below 1.58 round number.
What are today’s key GBP/USD levels?
Today's central pivot point can be found at 1.5890, with support below at 1.5777, followed by 1.5719 and 1.5606 with resistance above at 1.5948, followed by 1.6061 and 1.6119. Hourly Moving Averages are mixed, with the 200SMA bearish at 1.6002, and the daily 20EMA bearish at 1.6041. Hourly RSI is bearish at 32.
