Mid-Day Report: Canadian Dollar Maintain Gains after BoC, Supported by Oil

Canadian dollar maintains gain in early US session after BoC left rates unchanged, and with help from rise in crude oil prices. BoC kept the overnight target rate at 1.00% as widely expected, with bank rate and deposit rates unchanged at 1.25% and 0.75% respectively. The bank noted that "global economic recovery is proceeding broadly as expected" and so was in Canada. The GDP growth of annualized 3.9% in Q1 "continued strong business investment, smaller contributions from household and government spending, and a modest drag from net exports". Underlying inflation is still "relatively subdued" while headline CPI is expected to climb to above 3% in near term but convergence with core inflation at 2% by middle of 2012. BoC finally noted that "considerable monetary policy stimulus currently in place will be eventually withdrawn" but "such reduction would need to be carefully considered." So basically, BoC continues to lean towards tightening bias but the next time would unlikely happen in near term.

USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9751; (P) 0.9769; (R1) 0.9787; More.

USD/CAD's fall from 0.9815 accelerates to as low as 0.9667 in early US session and intraday bias is cautiously on the downside for 0.9640 minor support. Break there will confirm that whole rebound from 0.9444 has completed and deeper decline should then be seen to retest this low next. On the upside, above 0.9727 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring recovery. But break of 0.9815 is needed to confirm rise resumption. Otherwise, risk of another fall will remain.

BOC To Deliver Same Dovish Tone As In Early May, No Change In Policy Stance In June

While the June BOC meeting will likely be a non-event (i.e.: the policy rate will stay at 1% while corresponding Bank Rate and Deposit Rate will remain at 1.25% and 0.75% respectively), the market focus is on whether Governor Mark Carney will hint on a rate hike in the next month. We expect the post-meeting statement will remain dovish, a similar tone as the speech the Governor delivered earlier this month.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Sell at 0.8595

As the greenback has continued to edge higher after rebounding from 0.8476, retaining our view that further consolidation above recent low at 0.8457 would take place and mild upside bias remains for retracement to 0.8591-93 (current level of the Ichimoku cloud top and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 0.8814 to 0.8457), however, renewed selling interest should emerge there, bring another decline.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD –Buy at 1.0600

Despite intra-day brief rise to 1.0757, as aussie has just retreated, suggesting consolidation below this level would be seen and pullback to 1.0590/00 cannot be ruled out before prospect of another rally. A break of said resistance would extend gain to indicated upside target at 1.0793 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.1012-1.0440) but a sustained breach of this level is needed to confirm correction from 1.1012 top has ended at 1.0440

Daily Report: EUR/CHF Rebounds on Greece Hope, Weak Swiss Data

Swiss Franc is notably lower against Euro after EU finance ministers leader said yesterday that EU has ruled out a "total restructuring" of Greece's debts. The inspection team is expected to complete a review on Greece's implementation of bailout requirements and EU will then formulate a plan for additional aids by the end of next month. Meanwhile, it's reported that Germany will drop the call for rescheduling of Greek bonds but instead, consider to make concessions on efforts to put together a bailout for Greece. On the other hand, data from Switzerland are disappointing, with Q1 GDP grew merely 0.3% qoq comparing to consensus of 0.7% qoq. UBS consumption indicator dropped slightly to 1.59 in April. The GDP data basically ruled out the possibility of a Q2 hike from SNB. Data from Eurozone saw German retail sales rose .6% mom in April. Eurozone CPI is the main focus and is expected to be be unchanged at 2.8% yoy in May while unemployment rate is expected to be unchanged at 9.9% in April.

EUR/CHF Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2141; (P) 1.2162; (R1) 1.2191; More

The break of 1.2255 minor resistance suggests that a temporary low is formed in EUR/CHF. Intraday bias is turned neutral and some recovery could be seen towards 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 1.2338). But upside is expected to be limited by 1.2484 resistance and bring fall resumption. Below 1.2100 will target 1.2 psychological level first and then 100% projection of 1.3833 to 1.2401 from 1.3234 at 1.1802 next.

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.4275

As the single currency has rallied after yesterday’s minor pullback, suggesting the rise from 1.3968 is still in progress and the breach of previous resistance at 1.4345 signals a stronger retracement of recent decline from 1.4940 is still in progress for further gain towards 1.4450/55 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.4940 to 1.3968), however, near term overbought condition should limit upside and reckon 1.4500 would hold

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Buy at 1.6445 or sell at 1.6600

Although the British pound has risen again after yesterday’s pullback to 1.6451 and further gain to 1.6570/75 (50% projection of 1.6275-1.6515 measuring from 1.6451) would be seen, weakening of upward momentum should prevent sharp move beyond there and reckon 1.6595/00 (61.8% projection) would limit upside and bring retreat later today. Below the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.6476) would bring retracement to said support at 1.6451 but reckon 1.6443 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6275-1.6547) would attract renewed buying interest and bring another rally.

Mid-Day Report: Dollar Remains Pressured, Yen Lower on Fitch Outlook Downgrade

Dollar remains broadly pressured in early US session as data from US provides little support. Personal income rose 0.4% in April while spending rose 0.4%. PCE core rose 0.2% mom, 1.0% yoy and headline PCE rose 2.2% yoy. The data are basically inline with market expectations. Dollar index breaches 75 level as mild strength in commodities and equities. Technically, such development indicates near term reversal in the index and we'd likely see more downside in the greenback ahead.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 80.93; (P) 81.50; (R1) 81.86; More.

USD/JPY recovers mildly after dipping to 80.83 earlier today. But with 81.45 minor resistance intact, intraday bias remains on the downside for further decline. As discussed before, choppy recovery from 79.58 should have finished at 82.23 already. Break of 79.58 low will confirm decline resumption and should target 61.8% projection of 85.51 to 79.58 from 82.23 at 78.56 next. On the upside, above 81.45 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring recovery. Also, this would delay the bearish case and probably bring another recovery before decline resumption.
