Obama addresses congress at the SOTU speech

In the State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama addressed the Congress, with the main highlights found below. The text was obtained from Obama’s prepared full text speech and released moments before he came on stage. Obama first emphasized that the generation’s task is to build a strong middle class, which should be achieved through the government working ‘on behalf of the many’ not few. Referring to the soaring deficit, he said proposals will not increase deficit by ‘single dime’, with a government that acts smarter not bigger. Obama said ‘deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan.’

He ordered DHS to develop a real-time cybersecurity response. Obama also called for $1 Bln investment to create 15 manufacturing institutes; calls for overhauling corp tax code. Obama proposed ‘off-shoring tax’ to set minimum on offshore earnings, while also calling for a minimum wage to increase to $9/hour. With regards to the recent nuclear test conducted by North Korea, Obama said US to lead the world in taking firm action in response to North Korean threats, considering to strengthen US missile defense. The President of the US also unveiled plans to strengthen bilateral transatlantic trade deals with the European Union. Obama said: “Tonight, I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union – because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of good-paying American jobs.”

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: next hurdle on the upside penetration is seen above the yesterday high at 1.3475 (R1). If the price manages to overcome it we expect further acceleration towards to initial targets at 1.3503 (R2) and 1.3532 (R3). Downwards scenario: Market decline below the next supportive means at 1.3433 (S1) might trigger bearish pressure and enable lower target at 1.3407 (S2). Final support for today could be exposed at 1.3381 (R3) later on today.

OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Up
TREND CONDITION: Upward penetration
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bullish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: Medium

Upwards scenario: GBPUSD is approaching our next resistance level at 1.5688 (R1), keeping the retracement formation intact. The break here is required for the price appreciation towards to next target at 1.5707 (R2) and any further rise would then be targeting to 1.5726 (R3). Downwards scenario: On the other hand, medium-term tone remains negative and possible depreciation below the support level at 1.5661 (S1) would allow further declines. Our supports levels today lies at 1.5642 (S2) and 1.5623 (S3).

TREND CONDITION: Downward penetration
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bearish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: Medium

Upwards scenario: A negative market tone dominates on the hourly chart frame however further buying interest might arise above the key resistance at 93.35 (R1). Clearance here would suggest next intraday target at 93.57 (R2) and if the price holds its momentum we can expect an exposure of 93.79 (R3). Downwards scenario: Fresh low formed today limits recovery attempts for now. Next support level stays right below it at 92.81 (S1). Break here would suggest next target at 92.60 (S2) en route towards to final aim for today at 92.39 (S3).

Resistance Levels: 93.35, 93.57, 93.79

The Real Threat from Spain’s Corruption Scandal

Investors worried about Spain’s political stability have been dumping their Spanish holdings and pushing up the country’s borrowing costs after the eruption late last week of a corruption scandal involving Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Until now, the government’s durability had been one of the few advantages that Spain held over fellow euro-area problem- case Italy, a country that has seen almost as many elections as Christmases over the past few decades and is about to stage another. In reality, the likelihood that the Rajoy scandal will force the collapse of the current right-of-center government is slim. But investors are right to be concerned, because political stability involves more than the survival of a country’s government — it also requires the trust of the electorate in the institutions that govern them. Allegations of corruption at the highest level are corroding that trust in Spain.

On Jan. 31, the Spanish newspaper El Pais published copies of what it said were ledgers from secret accounts held by Luis Barcenas, the former treasurer of the ruling People’s Party, which revealed the existence of a party slush fund. The newspaper said 7.5 million euros in corporate donations were channeled into the fund and allegedly doled out from 1997 to 2009 to senior party members, including Rajoy. The party has denied wrongdoing in a statement, and Rajoy reiterated that position over the weekend and again on Feb. 4, during a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Retail traders sentiment is currently on the bearish side however further price appreciation is possible above the resistance at 1.3414 (R1). Any upside actions above this point would then be targeting our resistances at 1.3433 (R2) and 1.3452 (R3). Downwards scenario: As long as price stays below the moving averages our medium-term outlook would be negative. Our next support level is seen at 1.3377 (S1). Any extension lower is being able to drive market price towards to our targets at 1.3359 (S2) and 1.3341 (S3) on the long run.

OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Down
TREND CONDITION: Down Trend
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bullish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: High

Upwards scenario: After dipping lower yesterday we see potential of downside tendency recovery in near-term perspective. Next on tap resistance level at 1.5543 (R1) mark. Break here would suggest next targets at 1.5568 (R2) and 1.5593 (R3).Downwards scenario: On the other hand we still keep the downside extension in focus. Risk of further market depreciation is seen below the support level at 1.5502 (S1). Loss here would enable initial targets at 1.5480 (S2) and 1.5468 (S3).

TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bearish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: Medium

Upwards scenario: Market comfortably moves in sideways mode on the hourly chart. If USDJPY gains momentum on the upside and rose above the resistance at 93.65 (R1), we expect next resistance to be exposed at 93.79 (R2) and 93.94 (R3). Downwards scenario: If the price failed to overcome our next resistance level we expect market easing below the support level at 93.39 (S1).

Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Feb 15 2013

Eurozone tumbles deeper into recession

The preliminary Eurozone GDP numbers for the fourth quarter of 2012, published in the European morning, paint a rather gloomy picture of economic activity in the area: growth declined sharply by 0.6%, which makes it a third straight quarterly fall. GDP in the three largest Eurozone economies shrank more than expected. Germany saw a 0.6% decline, France contracted by 0.3% and Italy by 0.9%. Portuguese GDP plunged by 1.8%, which makes the country the worst performer in the Eurozone. Only Estonia and Slovakia registered growth in the area, but results for Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta and Slovenia are still pending. ING analyst Peter Vanden Houte comments: “While we expect a stabilisation in the first quarter and a weak recovery from the second quarter onwards, one has to acknowledge that a lot of things still can go wrong. The economic and political outlook in Spain and Italy remains uncertain, while the difficult bail-out of Cyprus could stoke contagion fears. Therefore it is certainly not a time for the ECB to lean back and relax.”

For the London session ahead key UK retail sales data at 09:30 GMT will surely take center stage for Cable traders, as “Consumer spending is the backbone of the economy as well as a key component of GDP,” says BK Asset Management managing director Kathy Lien. Data is expected to come above previous one, and around the +0.5% as consensus, while G20 meetings going on thru the weekend might provide headlines that shake markets either direction.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Upwards scenario: The recent price acceleration on the upside suggests a possible move higher ahead. Next on tap is resistive barrier at 1.3400 (R1) on the way towards to higher targets at 1.3415 (R2) and 1.3428 (R3). Downwards scenario: If the market fails to stabilize on the positive side, we expect retest of our support level at 1.3373 (S1) in near term perspective. Successful penetration below it would enable initial targets at 1.3358 (S2) and 1.3344 (S3).

Upwards scenario: Prolonged movement yesterday on the downside finally looks exhausted. Penetration above the fresh high at 1.5526 (R1) might keep bulls in play, targeting next resistances at 1.5547 (R2) and 1.0568 (R3). Downwards scenario: Bearish forces are possible below the next support level at 1.5502 (S1). Clearance here would suggest next target at 1.5481 (S2). If the price holds its momentum on the downside we suggest final target for today at 1.5458 (S3).

Downwards scenario: Fresh low formed today offers important support level at 92.25 (S1). Discounted value of USDJPY might push through this mark and enable next visible target at 92.11 (S2) en route to 91.96 (S3) later on.

G20 statement settles on generalities; approval to keep selling the Yen?
The G20 weekend meeting and its final statement settled again on generalities, with key passages posing little risk to neither discredit nor criticize ongoing Japanese polices, where no specific mention was noticed. As Sean Callow, Westpac FX strategist, notes: “G20 statements always reflect the difficulty in reaching agreement among nations with often quite diverse policy approaches, settling on generalities with little risk of shaking up markets. Once again, for FX markets, the Moscow statement offered only a modest tweak compared to the Nov 2012 Mexico City statement”

Some key FX-related passages obtained from the statement can be found below: – “We will not target our exchange rates for competitive purposes”. – “We reiterate our commitments to move more rapidly toward more market-determined exchange rate systems and exchange rate flexibility…” – “We reiterate that excess volatility of financial flows and disorderly movements in exchange rates have adverse implications for economic and financial stability. In brief, as Forexlive editor Eamonn Sheridan, notes: “If policy is aimed at achieving results in the domestic economy then its OK. Of course, it is difficult to gauge whether domestic policies are, or are not, aimed at weakening the currency.”

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Positive tone establishment is limited to the next resistive means at 1.3357 (R1). Break here is required to allow further strengthening towards to our immediate targets at 1.3379 (R2) and 1.3401 (R3). Downwards scenario: Immediate risk of further market decline is seen below the key support level at 1.3325 (S1). Medium-term downside expansion would then be targeting marks at 1.3303 (S2) and 1.3282 (S3) in perspective.

OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Down
TREND CONDITION: Sideway
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bullish

Upwards scenario: Price action looks mainly consolidative, though violation of our resistance at 1.5512 (R1) would be a signal of possible uptrend formation with next expected targets ahead at 1.5536 (R2) and 1.5559 (R3). Downwards scenario: We are not expecting significant price deviation on the downside today though break of next support level at 1.5471 (S1) might extend easing towards to expected targets at 1.5449 (S2) and 1.5425 (S3) levels.

TREND CONDITION: Upward penetration

Upwards scenario: Any upside actions looks limited to resistance level at the fresh high – 94.21 (R1). Surpassing of this level might enable next target at 94.38 (R2) and any further gain would then be targeting last resistance at 94.54 (R3). Downwards scenario: Measures of support might be activating when the pair approaches the 93.83 (S1). If it continues to extend its weakening below it we expect next targets to be exposed at 93.68 (S2) and 93.51 (S3) later on.

Draghi: Exchange rate is not a policy target
ECB head Mario Draghi visited the European Parliament on Monday to take part in two hearings before the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, one on the central bank’s monetary policy and the second on systemic risk. He assured that the exchange rate is not the central bank’s policy target, but that it is important for the evaluation of price stability and growth. This way Mario Draghi referred to the G20 meeting held last weekend, which focused on the issue of currency manipulation and during which the participating nations pledged to refrain from resorting to competitive currency devaluation.

He also said that Europe “entered 2013 in a more stable financial environment than in recent years” but at the same time he warned that the risks to the European economy were still tilted to the downside. He listed the weakening of exports, the failure to timely implement structural reforms by EU governments and geopolitical issues as the three main threats. Mario Draghi reiterated that the ECB’s monetary policy stance would remain accommodative.

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Market players may prefer to stay neutral today during limited tier one macroeconomic data flow, though a break of our resistance at 1.3366 (R1) would suggest next targets at 1.3384 (R2) and 1.3401 (R3). Downwards scenario: Instrument trapped to the consolidation formation after its initial decline on the longer term perspective. Risk of further depreciation is seen below the next support level at 1.3336 (S1). Clearance here would suggest next targets at 1.3320 (S2) and 1.3302 (S3).

Downwards scenario: Hourly indicators show negative readings, as both moving averages still pointing down. Immediate focus comes on the next support level at 1.5453 (S1).

Downwards scenario: If the price regress below the support level at 93.55 (S1) the instrument has an increased likelihood of failing towards to our key supportive barrier at 93.40 (S2) and any further market decline would then be limited to 93.25 (S3).

Minutes of the Fed’s January policy meeting showed several officials think the bank should be prepared to vary the pace of its asset purchases, depending on how the economy performs and its analysis of the costs and benefits of the program. As shown by the minutes, officials worried that the Fed ultra-loose policy could lead to instability in financial markets. The Fed plans to evaluate how the programs are doing at its next meeting March 19 and 20 where officials will consider major changes to its quantitative easing program. Some FOMC members consider the Fed might have to taper or even end its bond-buying programs before reaching the current goal of a substantial improvement in the labor market. However, others officials argued that ending QE too soon would damage the economy.

“A number of participants stated that an ongoing evaluation of the efficacy, costs, and risks of asset purchases might well lead the Committee to taper or end its purchases before it judged that a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market had occurred,” the minutes said. During the meeting, several Fed officials expressed concern about the potential for excessive risk taking by investors due to the Fed’s accommodative policy. Officials even discussed the idea for the Fed to replace asset purchases with a promise not to sell assets for a longer period than currently envisioned. Kansas City Fed President Esther George dissented at the January meeting, citing concerns about financial stability. The Fed will meet next on March 19-20.

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Excessive losses provided yesterday clearly determined medium-term negative bias though rise above the resistance at 1.3306 (R1) might provide sufficient space for the appreciation towards to next target at 1.3332 (R2). Further market increase above it would face final resistive structure at 1.3356 (R3). Downwards scenario: Technically situation is clear. Fresh low at 1.3235 (S1) offers a key supportive barrier on the way of downtrend development. A dip below it would suggest next intraday targets at 1.3213 (S2) and 1.3190 (S3) in potential.

Resistance Levels: 1.3306, 1.3332, 1.3356
Support Levels: 1.3235, 1.3213, 1.3190

GBPUSD

HIGH: 1.52395 | LOW: 1.51312 | BID: 1.51494 | ASK: 1.51505 | CHANGE: -0.55% | TIME: 08 : 00:19



OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Down
TREND CONDITION: Down Trend
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bullish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: High

Upwards scenario: New portion of macroeconomic data releases might increase volatility later on today. Our resistances at 1.5303 (R2) and 1.5355 (R3) could be exposed in case of possible recovery action. But first, price is required to overcome our key resistive barrier at 1.5250 (R1). Downwards scenario: Resuming of negative tendency might occur below the key support level at 1.5131 (S1). Break here would open road towards to next supportive measure at 1.5081 (S2) and final bastion could be found at 1.5031 (S3).

Resistance Levels: 1.5303, 1.5355, 1.5250

OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Neutral
TREND CONDITION: Sideway
TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bearish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: Medium

Upwards scenario: In current price setup it is hard to determine prevailing market direction. Our next resistance stays at 93.63 (R1). Market expansion towards to next targets at 93.77 (R2) and 93.91 (R3) looks reasonable if the price manages to overcome it. Downwards scenario: Pair has been trading sideways. Depreciation below the support at 93.29 (S1) level might likely push the pair lower and enable our interim target at 93.15 (S2). Any further market decline would then be limited to psychological support at 93.00 (S3).

Resistance Levels: 93.63, 93.77, 93.91
Support Levels: 93.29, 93.15, 93.00

Social unrest against austerity measures rises in Europe

Greece and Bulgaria are in the main focus on Wednesday as dissatisfaction with the tough austerity measures pushed the people in both countries to protest in the streets.S&P warned that Cyprus might be downgraded to CCC+ and finally default. BoE Minutes revealed that Governor Mervyn King was outvoted on QE extension. Angela Merkel and Mariano Rajoy were also on the wires. Greek workers took part in the first general strike of the year. They protested against the reduction of wages and tax increases. Gsee y Adedy, two main labor unions which organized the strike, believe that the measures adopted by the government aggravate the situation in the country where the unemployment rate reached 27%, while youth unemployment stands at 60%.

The violent protests in Bulgaria on Tuesday, suppressed brutally by the police, resulted on Wednesday in the resignation of the country’s government. PM Boiko Borisov announced the decision in the morning, attributing it to his disapproval of way the protesters were handled the previous night. Bulgarians have been expressing their opposition towards the latest increases in the cost of electricity and power monopolies. They have also been accusing politicians of corruption and showing dissatisfaction with the low living standards. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in the European morning that countries should not carry out active exchange rate policies. She also stated that the “euro between $1.30 and $1.40 is normal in the historical perspective of the euro”. Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy presented new fiscal reforms on Wednesday, and announced that steps will be taken in order to prevent and suppress corruption connected with financial activities of political parties. -FXstreet.com

Italy at the crossroads ahead of weekend elections
On 24 and 25 February Italy heads to the polls to vote in the general election, called two months before of the end of the statutory five-year term. The outcome is rather uncertain as many voters remain undecided as to who to choose. Before the opinion polls blackout on 8 February, surveys showed that the center-left party had the most support.

The frontrunners in the election are the head of the center-left Democratic Party (PD) Pier Luigi Bersani and center-right People of Freedom (PDL) party’s leader Silvio Berlusconi. Third in the opinion polls comes the comedian turned populist politician Beppe Grillo an his 5-Star movement (5SM). The current Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti leading the Civic Choice coalition party also takes part in the elections, but is not expected to claim victory, but rather be a “kingmaker”. The outcome of the election is crucial as the new government will have to make head against the fiscal crisis consuming the country and implement reforms in order to prop up the ailing economy. A failure to do so would have dire implications for Italy and consequently the entire Eurozone as providing a bailout for such a large economy might prove to be impossible. As chief economist at Maverick Intelligence Megan Green suggests in an article for Bloomberg: “The next government in Rome may be stable or reformist by Italian standards, but it will not be both.”

MARKET ANALYSIS – Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: We are not expecting significant volatility increase today however clearance of our next resistive barrier at 1.3220 (R1) is required to push the price towards to our next visible targets at 1.3244 (R2) and 1.3268 (R3). Downwards scenario: Risk of the further downtrend formation is seen below the 1.3179 (S1). With penetration here opens a route towards to our immediate support level at 1.3156 (S2) and any further price cut would then be limited to final target at 1.3130 (S3).

OUTLOOK SUMMARY: Down

TRADERS SENTIMENT: Bullish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY: Medium

Upwards scenario: GBPUSD is pointing to a negative market sentiment by losing -0.25% today. Though clearance of our resistance at 1.5167 (R1) might trigger recovery action towards to our initial targets at 1.5214 (R2) and 1.5260 (R3). Downwards scenario: Our next support level is seen below the local low at 1.5075 (S1). Any penetration below this level would increase likelihood of the downtrend development and suggest bearish priority in direction. Intraday support levels are placed at the 1.5030 (S2) and 1.4984 (S3) marks.

Upwards scenario: Market maintains a positive medium-term tone and currently is limited to our next resistive barrier at 94.36 (R1). If it manages to break it we would suggest next intraday targets at 94.50 (R2) and 94.65 (R3). Downwards scenario: On the other hand, break below the support at 93.96 (S1) would open a route for a recovery phase. Further market decline would then be targeting next supportive measures at 93.80 (S2) and 93.65 (S3).

Italians lead the country to ungovernability
Italians are leading the country to the ungovernability, and after a neck-to-neck battle to take control over the lower house between the center-left Bersani’s party and Mr. Grillo’s five star movement, with the first claiming a marginal victory, the big problem now lies in the advance from the center-right Berlusconi’s group and Mr- Grillo in the Senate, where there is no majority by any party. According to the latest reports, which show a 99.9% ballot scrutiny conducted, Italy’s center-left Bersani won by a slim margin the lower house while the Senate is confirmed to be deadlocked. The failure to build a coalition between the center-left Bersani’s party in both chambers, will now make any austerity-led implementation laws taken by the uncertain government a slow and difficult process.

As the Wall Street Journal notes: “The result is that Italy may, over the next few weeks, try to form a temporary government backed by a grand coalition of left and right-wing forces with the sole aim of changing Italy’s electoral law and then going to a vote again as early as summer. It isn’t clear who would run such a short-lived government.” Overall, what the results show is a fragmented Italian society, where almost 1/4 of the population failed to turn up at the polling stations, but most worrisome of all is the situation in the Senate, where even with Monti’s support, neither Bersani’s nor Grillo’s party will be able to pass key laws it appears, thus heightening fears over the austeritarian path Italy had undertaken under Monti’s technocrat government being no longer viable. A temporary hung parliament through a grand coalition government? Possibility of a second election being called? At the moment the landscape in Italian politics is extremely uncertain. What appears to have gained clarity though, is that Italian bonds are likely to be dumped until the political mess clears up.

Downwards scenario: Penetration below the local low at 1.3036 (S1) might maintain a negative tone and prolong downtrend formation.
