Euro Tala
EURUSD (1.30.60) The euro is weak, having lost 0.4% from Friday’s close and having briefly touched a three and a half month low, below 1.30. The weakness has been building over the last five sessions and is a reflection of a deterioration in the economic data, rising political uncertainty and a failure of policy makers to provide further support. The weekend elections are the main focus, with the European bond markets providing a clear indication that it is the Greek election that is a more significant threat to EUR than the French.
Greek 10‐year yields have jumped up to 22.80% (a post default high) while French yields have dropped to 2.81% Fundamental data was mixed with weaker than expected Spanish industrial output (falling ‐7.5% y/y); but stronger than expected German factory orders (increasing 2.2% m/m)
Le Pauna Sterling
GBPUSD (1.6192) • The UK is on holiday while GBP is retracing some lost ground, up 0.3% since Friday’s close and having its first up session in six. This week’s BoE meeting is likely to see both the asset purchase program and interest rates on hold at £325bn and 0.5%, respectively. Without a change there will be no statement, leaving markets waiting for the BoE inflation report on May 16th and the BoE minutes on May 23rd. The threat of QE is likely to be kept alive; however on a relatively basis the outlook for GBP is still relatively strong.
Asia – Tupe Faʻapitoa
USDJPY (79.87) •The yen is strong, trading below 80 and flirting with a break of the 100‐day MA. There was no domestic data; however interest rate differentials are supportive of a lower USDJPY. Finance Minister Azumi reiterated that Japan is watching for speculative yen movement and will act on yen if necessary. The release of the BoJ April 9‐10th meeting, were important as they highlight the importance of the Japanese government’s role in monetary policy.
The ministry official at the meeting suggested that the BoJ should conduct policy decisively and promptly achieve its inflation target; while concern from one BoJ member that QE risks the appearance of monetizing of debt were dismiss
auro
Auro (1637.05) Gold weakened slightly weighed by a strong dollar which rose due to the elections in France and Greece. The Euro dropped to a three month low against dollar after the election which raised worries of a Euro zone debt crisis again. At the same time slothful US payroll numbers on Friday are likely to prompt hopes of another round of the monetary easing programme which may raise gold’s safe haven appeal again. As per the data available from US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, speculators lifted up their bullish bets in gold to the highest level since early April in the first week of May.
However physical demand for gold from Asian markets remained subdued with buyers moving back to the sidelines.
Suauu masoa
Suauʻu Masoa (97.83) Nymex crude oil prices declined by 0.7 percent today on the back of more than expected fall in European investor confidence coupled with strength in the US dollar index. Additionally, rising tensions in the Euro Zone after the elections in France and Greece also exerted downside pressure on oil prices. Crude oil touched an intra-day low of $ 95.40/bbl and hovered at $ 97.80/bbl
