Mid-Day Report: Euro Soars on Inflation, Testing Resistance

EUR/USD breaches 1.42 level after stronger than expected inflation data affirmed the case for ECB to raise rates in April and increases the possibility for more rate hikes down the road this year. Eurozone flash CPI rose from 2.4% to 2.6% yoy in March, the highest level since October 2008 when CPI was at 3.2% yoy. This was also the consecutive fourth months that inflation stayed above ECB's 2% target. ECB is widely expected to raise rates by 25bps from historical level of 1% next week after Trichet used the famous word "vigilance" to signal rate hike in March meeting. Today's inflation data argues that more rate hikes are needed this year to bring inflation down to ECB's target, with some speculation that ECB will raise rates once every quarter. Job data from German was also positive with unemployment dropped -55k in March while unemployment rate dropped to 7.1%. EUR/USD would possibly take out 1.4247 resistance soon to resume recent up trend. EUR/GBP is also back pressing 0.8835 resistance and should be extending recent rally.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4069; (P) 1.4108 (R1) 1.4164; More.

EUR/USD jumps to as high as 1.4231 so far today but upside is still limited below 1.4247 resistance and thus, intraday bias remains neutral. On the upside, break of 1.4247 will confirm up trend resumption for 1.4281 resistance, which is close to medium term falling trend line (now at 1.4273). Sustained break there will have medium term bullish implication and should pave the way to 1.5143 resistance next. On the downside, below 1.4020 will bring another fall to extend the correction from 1.4247. Nevertheless, outlook remains bullish as long as 1.3751 support holds and further rally is still expected.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Hold long entered at 1.6070

Current sharp retreat from intra-day high of 1.6152 has dampened our near term bullishness for retracement of recent decline and 1.6035 needs to hold to retain prospect of another rebound, break of said resistance would bring stronger corrective rise to 1.6170 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6403 to 1.5937) but reckon 1.6190 would limit upside and previous support at 1.6215/20 should hold.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Buy at 116.00

Current firmness after breaking previous resistance at 116.00 adds credence to our view that the wave ii is still unfolding as ABC-X-ABC and 2nd A leg is still in progress for further gain to 117.50, then 118.00 but reckon 118.36 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 139.26 to 105.44) would hold on first testing.

Daily Report: Dollar Index Weakens on Risk Appetite, Resuming Down Trend?

Dollar index is back trading below 76 level as the greenback remains generally pressured by improving risk appetite. DOW edged closer to pre-Japan disaster high of 12391 overnight and is followed by broad based strength in Asian stocks. Rally in equities helped send Aussie to new record high against the greenback. Crude oil is back pressing 105 level on news that Qaddafi's troops retook control of the oil port of Ras Lanuf but is still way off recent high of 106.95. Euro and Sterling recover against the greenback but momentum is weaker so far and both are kept in familiar range.

USD/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 82.43; (P) 82.81; (R1) 83.25; More.

With 4 hours MACD crossed below signal line, a temporary top is formed at 83.20 and intraday bias is turned neutral. Some consolidation might be seen first but break of 80.50 support is needed to signal short term topping. Otherwise, outlook will remains cautiously bullish and we'd continue to favor further rally. Above 83.20 will target 84.49 key resistance next.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Sell at 0.9245

Despite yesterday's resumption of upmove to 0.9276, the quick retreat from there formed a shooting star on the hourly chart and the subsequent decline add credence to our view that a temporary top has been formed there and consolidation with downside bias remains for test previous support at 0.9140. Looking ahead, once this support is penetrated, this would bring a stronger retracement of recent rise from 0.8853 for weakness to previous resistance at 0.9124

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.4100

Current break of 1.4149 on dollar's broad-based weakness suggests the erratic decline from 1.4249 has ended at 1.4021 and consolidation with upside bias is seen for gain to 1.4190/00, however, break of resistance at 1.4220 is needed to retain bullishness and signal correction is over, then recent upmove should resume for a retest of 1.4249 later, otherwise, further choppy consolidation would take place.
