Mid-Day Report: Dollar Recovers Further ahead of FOMC Minutes

Dollar is mildly firmer today, helped by pull back in stocks, and as traders are cautiously waiting for FOMC minutes to shed some light on the timing and scale of the upcoming quantitative easing II program. Fed officials' comments were mixed so far. New York Fed President William Dudley and Chicago Fed President Charles Evans are clearly in support for voiced support for more bonds purchases. Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser and Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher doubted the effectiveness of more QE. The known hawk Kansas City Fed President Hoeing kept up the call for rate hikes and a curb on stimulus. While Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen expressed her concern that " accommodative monetary policy could provide tinder for a buildup of leverage and excessive risk-taking in the financial system". Note that currently, it seems that markets are pricing something more substantial and if the FOMC minutes to be released today affirm this view, dollar selloff would likely resume. Otherwise, we could see a stronger rebound in the greenback.

Trade Idea Update: USD/JPY – Buy at 81.65

As dollar has retreated again after brief recovery, suggesting further consolidation would take place and marginal weakness from here cannot be ruled out, however, as long as recent low at 81.37 remains intact, prospect of another corrective rebound remains and break of intra-day resistance at 82.38 would add credence to our view that temporary low has possibly been formed at 81.37 and bring retracement of recent decline to 82.57
