Fed Likely to Stick to Low-Rate Message This Week

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/cheryl-coles-hot-compilation.html

When the Federal Reserve meets this week, it's likely to affirm a message it intends to help lift the economy: that consumers and businesses will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future — even after unemployment has dropped sharply.

Last month, the Fed signaled for the first time that it will tie its policies to specific economic barometers. It said that as long as the inflation outlook is mild, it could keep short-term rates near zero until unemployment dips below 6.5 percent from the current 7.8 percent.

Deflation Isn't Always Bad

Japan's policy makers are making a mistake...

LAST WEEK policy makers of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) voted for a 2% inflation target, to be achieved "at the earliest possible time", with a planned 13 trillion Yen a month ($145 billion) in extra securities buying.

The action came after months of intense pressure on the BOJ from the country's new Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, to take more aggressive action to boost the economy.

Mr. Abe maintains that deflation will undermine any efforts to grow the economy and the government and the central bank must act together to get prices rising again.

Bernanke to spend $1.14 trillion in hopes of mitigating unemployment

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's latest round of bond buying is slated to reach an estimated USD $1.14 trillion before he ends the program in the first quarter of 2014, according to median estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Indeed, Bernanke will push on with purchases of approximately $40.0 billion a month of mortgage bonds and $45.0 billion a month of Treasuries, according to the survey of 44 economists, even amidst the warnings via Fed officials, fearful that his unprecedented balance-sheet expansion will shackle efforts to effectively fortify policy when necessary.

EUR/USD Breaks Consolidation High; Can it Clear 1.35?

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/cheryl-coles-hot-compilation.html

Consolidation: The EUR/USD failed to extend after breaking above a small flag pattern during the 1/28 US session. The consolidation high held, and price came back to crack its consolidation low during the 1/29 European session. During the 1/29 US session it surged from the new low, to a new high, breaking above the consolidation high.

Momentum: Note that the 1H RSI reading held above 40, reflecting maintenance of bullish momentum. With it going above 60, it is a sign of bullish momentum revival.

Target: 1.35 will be a key psychological handle to break for further bullish outlook. If this is the case, taking the width of the range, a conventional breakout target projects to about 1.3530. Note the mini-consolidation in the middle of the range. This is the central pivot area. If there is a throwback, and the market can stay above this area (around 1.3450, then the bullish outlook still looks good. Otherwise, we might have a false breakout to the topside.

If the bullish break does occur, I suspect there are many stops up here since it is just above the 2012-high. If so, and these stops get triggered, we can get quick a pop before a throwback. Let's see.

US Dollar Update

US Dollar Range Bound: The USD Index traded in a tight range throughout the session Friday straddling the 79.75 mark.

EUR/USD is +85 pips at 1.3460 as trade remains on track for its best close since at least late February. Traders are watching 1.3465 closely as a close above that mark would produce the best since November 2011. Recent action has seen little response to the Fitch downgrade of Cyprus to 'B.' Friday's bid in the EUR comes following a strong German Ifo Business Climate survey and the 1st LTRO repayments by European banks.

The EUR/GBP pair had another stellar session on Friday as the buyers continue to take control of market. We managed to close above the 0.85 resistance level, an area that we had suggested it could cause problems previously. This being said, we would expect some type of pullback in this general vicinity, but also would expect that to be a buying opportunity. As the pair currently stands, we like the idea going long, but we believe that pullbacks will be the way to enter this pair as it has been so parabolic lately.

Miranda Kerr featured in Reebok Satisfaction Campaign

The A-List Australian model credits EasyTone apparel and footwear with helping her to stay fit and in shape, despite her busy lifestyle travelling around the world on high profile modelling assignments and caring for her one year old son: 
"I love EasyTone! They look great and they're super comfortable. I love the results you get wearing them and that I can just throw them in my suitcase and have them with me all the time when I'm travelling. My life is so busy that I can't always make it to the gym but I love to walk as much as I can and I make EasyTone part of my fitness routine by wearing them when I'm walking."
For Miranda, feeling fit and healthy is at the top of the list of her notions of satisfaction. "I chose stretching as one of my ideas for ultimate satisfaction because I love yoga and I get so much satisfaction out of stretching, it makes me feel good and re-energized. I think to be truly satisfied is to be comfortable within your own skin."

Either Greenback or EUR/USD Rally Must Surrender

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/catwalk-with-miranda-kerr.htmlThere was an unusual contrast this past week where the EURUSD advanced to its highest weekly close in 11 months at the same time that the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index (ticker = USDollar) ended the period at a 6-month high. A positive correlation between the world's most liquid currency and most heavily traded pair is extraordinary. And, 'extraordinary' doesn't last in the markets. Therefore, one of the critical questions facing FX traders is whether the dollar's individual strength or the EURUSD's striking rally will break first.

Fed Enters ‘Uncharted Territory’ as Assets Hit $3 Trillion

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/video-timelapse-painting-of-miranda-kerr.html

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's unprecedented bond buying pushed the Fed's balance sheet to a record $3 trillion as he shows no sign of softening his effort to bring down 7.8 percent unemployment.

The Fed is purchasing $85 billion of securities every month, using the full force of its balance sheet to stoke the economic recovery. The central bank began $40 billion in monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities in September and added $45 billion in Treasury securities to that pace this month.

"We're in uncharted territory," said Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas SA in New York, and a former Fed economist. Even as "the easy money will flow through financial markets and into the real economy at some point and lift us to a better growth trajectory," the U.S. faces "a lot of risks," she said.

The Euro Hits an 11-Month High

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/miranda-kerr-in-toxic-video-shoot.html

Two days later, on January 24, EUR/USD indeed began to climb. On January 25, it pushed as high as 1.3480.

Predictably, the news said that the euro hit an 11-month high "following a better-than-expected German confidence survey." True, the latest part of the rally did come after the data. But as you see from the forecast above, Elliott waves caught the rise two days before it began -- and helped wave traders catch the bulk of the move.

We often say that Elliott wave analysis is not a crystal ball; not every forecast will work out. That's true, yet in the world where most traders wait to hear something in the news before they spring into action, wave analysis offers you a real, tangible chance to stay ahead of the trend.

GBP/USD Retains Bearish Bias after Breakdown

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/candice-swanepoel-is-victorias-secret.html

GBP/USD (daily chart) as of January 25, 2013 has retained its bearish bias after a two-week tumble that broke below a succession of support levels. The major bearish technical event occurred mid-week last week as price broke down below a key confluence of support around the 1.6000 price region. This support confluence included a major uptrend support line extending back to the June 2012 low at 1.5266. Before this trend line was broken to the downside last week, it had been tested and respected at least five times, further reinforcing its validity each time. After the breakdown below this trend line and the important 1.6000 support level, price dropped towards further downside support around 1.5825, re-testing the mid-November low. The pair then stalled and fluctuated around 1.5825 before dropping further yesterday and today to hit the 1.5750 support level and establish a new five-month low for the pair. On a further breakdown below 1.5750, continued bearishness could move price towards key potential support around 1.5600.

Inflation still impacts more on low income groups

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/candice-swanepoel-is-victorias-secret.html

Consumer price inflation for December was released today, providing the latest insights as to where the household sector is most or least pressured by price increases.

From a 6.6% year-on-year inflation rate in November, the December rate edged up slightly further to 6.7% year-on-year.

This slight rise was due to a slight increase in year-on-year petrol price inflation in December, compared to November, which can't be viewed as too significant.

Italian balance of trade outside Europe highest since 1993

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/candice-swanepoel-is-victorias-secret.htmlItaly's trade balance outside of Europe was higher last month than at any other time in at least 20 years, the national statistics agency said Wednesday. Italy's balance of trade with countries outside the European Union reached 3.3 billion euros in December 2012 - its greatest monthly number since 1993, when Istat began keeping records. And for all of 2012, the trade surplus outside of the EU - meaning the value of exports that exceeded imports into Italy - reached almost 2.1 billion euros, the highest level since 2003, the agency said. That year, the annual trade surplus hit 3.1 billion euros. The monthly trade surplus record in December smashed the previous high point of 2.9 billion euros recorded in July 1997, says Istat. These trade numbers suggest that, given the recession roiling many European economies, Italian firms are finding success in markets outside of Europe. According to Istat, Italy's "most dynamic" export markets in 2012 included OPEC nations, where Italian sales jumped by almost 25%; Japan, where sales increased by 19%; other parts of Asia, up 18.5%; and the United States, where sales increased by almost 17%.

EUR/USD keeps the red around 1.3300

 
More at http://daily20pips.blogspot.com/2013/01/candice-swanepoel-is-victorias-secret.html

The bloc currency is orbiting around the 1.3300 figure on Wednesday, although still submerged in the negative territory. Better-than-expected Consumer Confidence in the euro zone was not enough to add more impetus to the euro, which remains locked in a tight range. 

According to J.Saettele, Senior Technical Strategist at DailyFX, "A yearlong bottoming pattern has been confirmed as complete and the first EURUSD objective isn't until above 1.3800 (61.8% of decline from 2011 high and where the rally from the 2012 low would consist of 2 equal legs". 

As of writing, the pair is losing 0.15% at 1.3302 with the immediate support at 1.3268 (low Jan.22) followed by 1.3248 (low Jan.11) and then 1.3231 (MA21d). 

On the other hand, a break above 1.3372 (high Jan.22) would expose 1.3398 (high Jan.18) and finally 1.3404 (high 2013, Jan.14).
