Daily Report: Dollar Soft on Commodities, Aussie Rebounds after RBA

Dollar is back under pressure with the dollar index breaching last week's low of 77.60 to resume recent decline. Strong rally was seen in commodities on Egypt turmoil as the CRB index jumped 1.78% overnight, or 5.98 pts to close strongly at 341.42. WTI crude oil rose sharply to two year high and is staying firm above 92 level. Among major currencies, Sterling is the relatively stronger one as supported by BoE Weale's hawkish call for rate hike. On the other hand Australian dollar is the strongest currency today so far as supported by strong house price data and as RBA toned down the impact of flood to economy.

AUD/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9896; (P) 0.9942; (R1) 1.0020; More

AUD/USD rebounds strongly to as high as 1.0036 so far today buy after all, it's still staying in range of 0.9803 and 1.0075 and outlook remains unchanged. Intraday bias remains neutral and some more sideway trading might be seen. But another fall is still in favor as long as 1.0075 resistance holds. Break of 0.9803 support will confirm resumption of whole fall from 1.0254 and will also affirm the case of medium term reversal. In such case, deeper decline should be seen to 0.9536 support for confirmation. On the upside, however, break of 1.0075 will flip bias back to the upside for a test on 1.0254 high instead.

RBA Leaves Cash Rate Unchanged, Expects Limited Impacts From Flooding

The RBA left the cash rate unchanged at 4.75% for a second consecutive meeting after raising it for 7 times since October 2009. Policymakers appeared more optimistic towards the global economic outlook. Tightening bias remains and the central bank will probably hike interest rates again in 2Q11. Currently, the market has priced in a 16% chance the RBA will hike rates in June, up from +12% before the meeting.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Sell at 82.40

As the greenback has fallen again after brief recovery yesterday, intra-day breach of yesterday's low at 81.77 signals recent fall from 83.70 is still in progress and may extend weakness to 81.50, however, loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 81.10-20 and reckon support at 80.93 should hold, bring rebound later.

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Stand aside

As the single currency has maintained a firm undertone after yesterday's rally, suggesting a retest of last week's high at 1.3760 would be seen, however, break there is needed to confirm upmove has resumed and extend gain to 1.3790/00 but near term overbought condition should limit upside to 1.3850 and risk has increased for a retreat later.

Mid-Day Report: Euro Rebounds on Strong CPI Reading

Euro rebounds strongly today after CPI flash estimate beat expectations and accelerated to 2.4% yoy in January, highest level in more than two years. Based on recent inflation rhetoric from ECB Trichet, the stronger than expected inflation reading triggered more speculation that ECB would normalize rates sooner than previously thought. CPI is now above ECB's target of "below 2%, close to 2%" for the second month in a row and there is no sign of moderation yet. Markets are expecting a possible hike in Q4 but ECB might pull ahead if inflation outlook worsens. Though, after all, EUR/USD's is still kept below 1.3757 recent high on concern of continuation of Egypt protest.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3547; (P) 1.3646 (R1) 1.3710; More.

EUR/USD drew strong support from 4 hours 55 EMA and rebounds today but upside is still limited below 1.3757 resistance. Intraday bias is neutral and some more consolidations could still be seen. Below 1.3570 will bring another fall but after all, we'd expect strong support above 1.3245 and bring rally resumption. As discussed before, whole decline from 1.4281 should have finished with three waves down to 1.2873 already. Above 1.3757 should bring another rise through 1.4 psychological level to retest 1.4281 key resistance first.

RBA To Leave Rates Unchanged, Monitoring Impacts From Floods

This week is an eventful one in Australia with the RBA meeting on Tuesday and the release of the Statement on Monetary Policy on Friday. We expect policymakers to leave the cash rate unchanged at 4.75% as inflation has stayed in the lower half of the RBA's target band and extensive flooding in Queensland has disrupted the economy. Near-term growth and inflation outlook will be revised lower while those for the medium- to long-term should remain strong. The next rate hike will most likely happen in 2Q11.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF –Sell at 0.9480

Dollar's near term sideways trading is expected to continue and only break of support at 0.9389 would confirm the decline from 0.9784 has resumed and extend weakness to 0.9350, however, loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below support at 0.9323 and recent low at 0.9301 should hold from here.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD –Hold short entered at 0.9980

Despite this morning's brief fall to 0.9866, as aussie has rebounded in tandem with euro, suggesting further consolidation would take place, however, as long as Friday's high at 0.9988 holds, bearishness remains for another retreat to said support. Looking ahead, only breach of support at 0.9832 would signal the correction from 0.9803 has ended at 1.0077 and bring resumption of the decline from 1.0257 top for retest of 0.9803, then 0.9750.

Daily Report: USD, CHF, JPY Mildly Higher as Egypt Unrest Continues

Safe haven currencies, dollar, swissy and yen, are mildly firmer in the last trading day of January as Egypt's unrest continues. There are, firstly, concerns that if Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is forced to resign, there will be another wave of risk aversion trades in the markets. Secondly, there is chance that the turmoil in Tunisia and Egypt will spread to other countries and make the whole Middle East unstable. Risk aversion will likely support dollar, swissy and yen in near term and traders liquidate positions. But we're not seeing clear sign of trend changes yet. That is, swiss franc, which has been in a larger up trend, is the favored one to bet on as the recovery in dollar and yen might eventually turned out to be corrective.

EUR/CHF Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2748; (P) 1.2873; (R1) 1.2941; More

Intraday bias in EUR/CHF remains on the downside for the moment for 1.2724 support first. Break there will confirm the bearish case that corrective rebound from 1.2401 is completed at 1.3067 already. Also, in such case, the larger down trend would likely be resuming for another low below 1.2401, with next target at 61.8% projection of 1.3833 to 1.2401 from 1.3067 at 1.2182. On the upside, however, above 1.3000 minor resistance will dampen this view and bring another rise to extend the correction to above 1.3067 instead.

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3675

Friday's selloff suggests a temporary top has been formed at 1.3760 last week and although euro has recovered after marginal fall to 1.3571 this morning, recovery should be limited to the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3658) and price should falter below the Ichimoku cloud area (now at 1.3698-1.3709), bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Stand aside

Although the greenback has remained under pressure after Friday's selloff and retest of 81.85 support cannot be ruled out, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below there and reckon 81.50 would hold from here and risk has increased for a rebound later.
