U.S. Fiscal Cliff: Republican leadership softens stance on tax rates
The Fiscal Cliff negotiations are showing signs of progress after the weekend brought an offer from GOP lawmakers to allow tax rates to rise on those making more than $1mn; President Obama had been demanding that tax rates rise on those earning over $250k. “With progress remaining slow and messages mixed expect ongoing debt negotiations to well and truly steal the limelight in the lead up to Christmas,” says OzForex Research.

According to Cliff Wachtel, author of The Sensible Guide To Forex, the general fiscal cliff uncertainty is bearish: “Given the widespread consensus that there would be a deal deferring most of the potential government spending cuts and tax increases, and that most global stock indexes remain within 10% of their decade highs, it’s safe to say that markets have not priced in a failure to reach a deal.”

Fiscal Cliff Talks Thaw

It seems that Republican stances are softening as the clock ticks down to the New Year, and the US approaches the activation of the Fiscal Cliff. In the newest round of discussions, Republican leaders led by House Speaker John Boehner have conceded to allowing a tax rate increase of earners making a minimum of $1 million. The tax rate for income in that range would increase from 36% to 39.5% under the concession.

In addition, Republicans have offered to table the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling discussion for one year. The debt ceiling debate would likely emerge early next year without any deal, sparking concern and speculation of a government shutdown. The concessions have done little to support the greenback as the Obama administration continues to press forward with its objective of raising tax rates for the top 2% of income earners – rejecting recent Republican concessions.

Standard & Poor's upgrades Greece from selective default to B- outlook stable

Two weeks later after credit agency Standar & Poor's downgraded Greece to selective default, it has lifted again the rating to -B, two notches higher than expected back in December 05 when the initial downgrade took place, on the promise when the payback debt was finished the upgrade would come.

From today's S&P statement: “The stable outlook balances our view of euro zone member states determination to support Greece’s euro zone membership and the Greek government’s commitment to a fiscal and structural adjustment against the economic and political challenges of doing so,” the agency said. “Even after the buyback, Greece’s end-2012 net debt-to-GDP ratio of over 160 percent of GDP remains onerous,” the credit rating company stated. “Nevertheless, subject to Greece meeting program conditions, euro zone member states have said they would significantly improve official lending terms to the government.”- https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/19122012/

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Upwards scenario: Instrument gained momentum, turning intraday bias to the positive side. Next resistance ahead is seen at 1.3258 (R1). Upwards penetration above it might drive market price towards to targets at 1.3277 (R2) and 1.3293 (R3). Downwards scenario: If the market successfully retests our support level at 1.3224 (S1), we expect further consolidation development with possible targets at 1.3207 (S2) and 1.3191 (S3). Market deviates from the uptrend formation and currently trades on the session low.

Immediate focus comes on 1.6283 (R2) and 1.6296 (R3) in such scenario. Downwards scenario: If the market participants manage to push the price below the support level at 1.6244 (S1) the instrument has an increased likelihood of failing towards to next targets at 1.6231 (S2) and 1.6218 (S3).

All Eyes On Bank of Japan Following Abe Win

Now that the Japanese lower house elections are over, trader focus is being placed on the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision – taking place over the next two days. This decision will be important one for the underlying currency, which continues to lose against the US dollar. Since the beginning of the election campaign, LDP leader Shinzo Abe has run on the platform for further monetary easing in boosting economic growth. As a result, central bank leaders have been under extreme pressure from Abe supporters in expanding monetary policy – currently totaling $1.1 trillion.

And, now that Abe has won, further accommodation is anticipated. Expectations are now for the Bank of Japan to leave interest rates near zero, while expanding monetary policy by another $1 billion. Such a move may ultimately jeopardize the independence of the Bank of Japan, as policymakers would be falling into line with the political agenda. Incidentally, traders will be looking for a change in the inflation target set by the central bank – potentially raising it to 2% from the current 1%. This is another Abe policy that was promised as the government attempts to alleviate the current deflationary environment.

Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ dead on arrival

News has just hit the newswires that there will be no vote on ‘Plan B’ this evening due to lack of Republican support. Speaker John Boehner has pulled his own bill, and his office has just released a statement that says, in part: “The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass. Now it is up to the President to work with Senator Reid [(D)] on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff.” This is significant because the Speaker could not persuade his own Republican members to back his plan against President Obama’s offers and proposals on the matter. The US dollar is well bid across the board on this news, as market participants flee to safety.

The UK government’s monthly budget update for November is on offer in the European session ahead, expected to show a deficit of £14.1B on-month, which would widen the annual deficit to £76.0B. “If realized, this is a bit larger than the annual deficit for the year ending June of -£74.2B and highlight the ongoing challenge confronting the UK government in reducing its deficit,” says Rabobank International.

Upwards scenario: Further price appreciation might face next resistance level at 1.3227 (R1), break here is required to open way towards to targets at 1.3247 (R2) and 1.3267 (R3).

Downwards scenario: Possibility of further correction ahead is high on the shorter-term perspective. Below the support level at 1.6240 (S1) locates initial retracement targets at 1.6226 (S2) and 1.6214 (S3).

Boehner’s ‘Plan B’ bill vote canceled

News has hit the newswires that there will be no vote on ‘Plan B’ this evening due to lack of Republican support. Speaker John Boehner has pulled his own bill, and his office has just released a statement that says, in part: “The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass. Now it is up to the President to work with Senator Reid [(D)] on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff.” This is significant because the Speaker could not persuade his own Republican members to back his plan against President Obama’s offers and proposals on the matter. The US dollar is well bid across the board on this news, as market participants flee to safety.

The Republican-lead House of Representatives on Capitol Hill is moving ahead with a bill aimed at pressuring President Obama for a “fiscal cliff” deal. A second vote on taxes is expected later this evening; the House is in recess for now, but the Ways and Means staff is said to be on the floor ready for the tax debate to begin. In the end, even if House Speaker John Boehner’s “Plan B” were to pass, political analysts say that it stands no chance of being accepted by the Democratic-lead Senate or by the President. Time is quickly running out for US lawmakers to reach a deal to prevent a self-inflicted economic recession. At the time of writing, the U.S. dollar is finding buying interest across the board, likely underpinned by this sour mood surrounding the “fiscal cliff” developments, and on news that S&P has just downgraded Cyprus’ foreign long-term issuer credit rating to CCC+ from B. –

Year In Preview: What Will 2013 Bring for the Euro?

Another year has gone by and a lot has happened in the last twelve months, even as the European financial crisis continues to persist. But, taking a look at the next twelve months, and it’s easy to see that things are going to be that much calmer for the single currency in 2013. Here are some things to consider when January 1st rolls around. Shift in ECB Policy With European Union growth remaining lower for most of 2012, the European Central Bank has refrained from cutting rates amid persistently higher inflation. Although not rampant, the pace of consumer prices has risen by 2.2-2.5% annually in 2012 – a cause for at least some concern and a stay on rates. However, with inflation set to decline once again on slower growth, ECB policymakers may be at a favorable point in time to execute a rate cut of 25 basis points. The notion is being supported by growth forecasts by the central bank that pit EU contraction at about 0.3% for all of next year.

The rate cut would be bearish for the Euro in the short term, but at least support the chance for growth in the wider EU region as periphery economies are expected to contribute handsomely to the decline in overall expansion. - FXstreet.com

Fiscal cliff looms as US lawmakers play game of brinkmanship

The "fiscal cliff" steadfastly approaches and it is a fair assumption that no one will come up with a deal in time to stop the country from careening off the edge. Nearly everyone involved claims they want to avoid the automatic tax increases and colossal budget cuts that will start kicking in at the start of 2013, however few are ready to make the compromises necessary to make that happen.

As expected, anti-tax purists in the House Republican Caucus have gotten in the way of Speaker John A. Boehners attempts to come up with a fix for the fiscal cliff. Last week, he withdrew his doomed Plan B rather than let it go to a vote he knew he would lose. Democrats were united in their opposition, though what ultimately killed the scheme was the refusal of conservatives in Boehner’s own caucus to go along with a tax increase for millionaires. Boehner now seems to have washed his hands of responsibility and says it is up to the president and Democrats in the Senate to save the country from the New Year’s program cuts and tax increases that will come so fast and furiously that the economy could suffer. President Obama cut short his Hawaii vacation to return to the snow-covered capital hoping to concoct a last-minute deal in the eleventh hour. -FXstreet.com

Time running short for ‘fiscal cliff’ deal

Well, it looks like negotiations on Capitol Hill are still ongoing and far apart to avoid January’s “fiscal cliff”, as the House and Senate are to reconvene later today, the final day for Congress to craft a resolution prior to the deadline. In a Sunday talk show, President Obama stated clearly that it appears the GOP’s top priority is to protect the tax rates for the wealthy, while his top priority is to ensure that taxes on the middle-class do not go up. Although the President says he remains optimistic, he also acknowledges that financial markets would be unfavorably impacted if the US economy stumbles off of the cliff.

As Kathy Lien, Managing Director at BK Asset Management explains in a research note: “If it becomes evident that a deal will be deferred to January, expect currencies and equities to sell-off in disappointment. With some major currencies pulling back and equities declining, we have already seen investors take profit and hedge their positions ahead of the Fiscal Cliff deadline. If Obama announces a stripped down plan and expresses confidence that a deal will be sealed by end of day Monday, we can expect currencies and equities to rally in relief.”

US House passes fiscal cliff bill

After weeks of talks and negotiations, the House of Representatives has finally passed the fiscal cliff bill, with the ‘yea’ votes obtained surpassing the 217 threshold needed to approve the fiscal deal. The final vote count stood at 257-167 in favour of the bill. President Obama is ready to sign it into law.

The compromise, which first was agreed by Senate in early Tuesday morning, has come not without some last minute agitated negotiation disputes, in which Republicans wanted to challenge the approved senate-bill by sending it back for revision demanding additional spending cuts, with reports initially suggesting that the House Republicans would be adjourning any decision until Wednesday. Pending the signature of President Obama, expected to be done shortly, the US officially avoids that millions of citizens suffer tax hikes and spending reductions, which would have brought the U.S. economy into recession according to economists’ projections. Worth not forgetting though, is that still plentiful of unresolved pressing issues remain, with the most immediate being the need to raise the federal borrowing limit, with the deadline over 2 month from now.
