Mid-Day Report: Dollar Steady after GDP Revision, Euro and Sterling Still Weak

Dollar is steady in early US session after data showed Q3 GDP revised up to 2.6% annualized, below expectation of 2.8%. Euro remains soft in spite of report that China is ready to buy significant amounts of sovereign debts from Portugal. The Jornal de Negocios daily said that China is ready to purchase EUR 4-5b Portugal bonds in auctions or in secondary markets in Q1 of 2011. China declined to comment. ECB issued a new round of three month loans to eurozone banks today. Banks borrowed EUR 149.5b, higher than market expectation of EUR 105b. Nevertheless, note that there will be expiration of EUR 200b in ECB tenders on Thursday. If nothing is taken, there will be a reduction of around EUR 50b of excess liquidity in the system.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3048; (P) 1.3125 (R1) 1.3176; More.

EUR/USD recovers mildly today and a temporary low is possibly formed at 1.3073. Intraday bias is turned neutral and some consolidations would possibly be seen first. Nevertheless, another fall will remain in favor as long as 1.3358 resistance holds. Below 1.3073 will target a test on 1.2969 low first. Break there will confirm resumption of whole decline from 1.4281 and target 1.2643 support next. On the upside, break of 1.3358 will indicate that fall from 1.3496 is possibly over and rebound from 1.2969 might be resuming for another high above 1.3496.

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5550

Cable's recovery after intra-day marginal fall to 1.5426 suggests a minor low has been formed and above intra-day resistance at 1.5493 would bring retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.5528), however, renewed selling interest should emerge around the upper Kumo (now at 1.5551) and bring another decline.

Trade Idea: USD/CAD – Sell at 1.0245

Despite intra-day retreat to 1.0111, current rebound suggests near term upside risk remains for the rise from last week's low at 1.0001 to extend gain towards the trendline resistance now around 1.0245/50, however, as broad outlook remains consolidative, reckon resistance at 1.0286 would hold, bring retreat later. A break of indicated support at 1.0103 (this week's low) would signal the rebound from 1.0001 has ended
