Congress Passes Fiscal Cliff Deal – The Breakdown
In a final hour maneuver, Congressional leaders brokered a deal that will allow the US economy to avert the Fiscal Cliff and alleviate pressure on the financial markets. The passage is being considered by some to be a victory for US President Barack Obama. But, by others, it shifts the focus to mid February when discussions are likely to begin over the impending debt ceiling.
With the bill set to be signed into law by US President Barack Obama, focus has now shifted to the impending debt ceiling debate – likely to begin in mid-February. The concern remains over the fact that Democratic leaders will need to make further concessions on spending to Republicans in order to allow an extension of the $16.4 trillion ceiling. An inability to do so would plunge the government into a plausible shutdown. This will likely include cutbacks in entitlement spending and other programs in order to equalize Republican concessions for the Fiscal Cliff deal.

Two largest rating agencies consider US fiscal cliff deal insufficient
Moody's and Standard and Poor's credit rating agencies urged US lawmakers on Thursday to increase their efforts to tackle the country's budget deficit, as they consider the last-minute fiscal cliff measures insufficient. The deal which was struck on Tuesday between Democrats and Republicans, with the aim to avoid automatic year-end tax increases and spending cuts, improves the current situation but does not lay foundations for lowering debt ratios in the medium term, Moody's rating agency told Reuters. Moody's senior credit officer Steven Hess said that the agency would wait for the outcome of the measures adopted by the US government before making decisions on the rating outlook or the rating itself.
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.-FXstreet.com

ECB, BOE in Prime Focus this Week
With the Fiscal Cliff behind us and the impending debt ceiling debate at least another month away, market focus will return to plain economic fundamentals next week. The sentiment is being bolstered by two central bank announcements – the ECB (January 10th, 7:45AM EST) and BOE (January 10th, 7:00AM EST). Although nothing really new is expected, both events are still likely to take the lion’s share of attention.
Nothing is expected to happen when the Bank of England meets for the first time in 2013. Although concerns have emerged over a divide in the central bank, it is unlikely that the monetary body will move to do anything other than wait-and-see. The key remains in the results from the Funding for Lending program, which is entering its sixth month of operation. In the same respect, the ECB is unlikely to move when it decides on interest rates on Thursday. Instead, monetary policy leaders will continue to highlight the option of the OMT scheme in quelling any more crisis concerns, and likely point to stabilization in the region’s member economies in justifying no rate change.

Japan to buy ESM bonds to stabilize the yen
The big story in the Asian session is the announcement by Japan of its commitment to purchase ESM bonds to help stabilize Europe, Japan Finance Minister Taro Aso told reporters. The decision-maker added that Japan will buy European ESM bonds using FX reserves, although amount of bond buys is undecided at this point, he said. In another Reuters headline, Mr. Aso said the buys will start as soon as today. Meanwhile, the Economic Revival Minister Amari said that upcoming BoJ stimulus will be “significant”.
Meanwhile,after months of uncertainty and struggle to reach a compromise in Congress, lawmakers finally voted on a deal to avoid falling completely off of the fiscal cliff. The agreement, voted on early New Year’s Day by the Senate, was finally passed by the House late at night, just days before the new Congress is sworn in. Tax reform dominated much of the heated debate in recent weeks, but the Democrats and Republicans finally reached an agreement in order to avoid a significant impact on economic activity, at least in the short-term.

Eurozone crisis still far from over
Eurozone unemployment reached a record high of 11.8% in November, the European Commission reported on Tuesday. Data also showed an increase in youth unemployment to 24.4%. This proves that the crisis in the area is still far from over, despite recent opinions to the contrary (including European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso’s hopeful declarations this morning). Martin van Vliet from ING, who notices this latest wave of optimism among Eurozone consumers and businesses suggests that “with more fiscal austerity in the pipeline, the debt crisis still unresolved, and unemployment rising (and hitting a fresh record high of 11.8% in November), consumers and hence businesses still have plenty to worry about. Moreover, despite the recent improvement, Eurozone economic sentiment remains in recession territory.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a meeting with Greek PM Antonis Samaras in Berlin on Tuesday, during which the Greek leader assured that his country was delivering on promises to implement austerity measures and was carrying out reforms in return for European aid. “We are trying to win back credibility, on the part of the people of Europe and on the part of the markets,” Samaras told reporters during a press conference. Angela Merkel praised Greece’s efforts to reduce its debt load so far and expressed her interest in the progress of implementation of the previously agreed austerity measures. She also warned that 2013 will be a tough year for the Eurozone. “We must agree on stronger economic policy cooperation by June this year, and there is plenty of work ahead of us,” she said.-FXstreet.com

Limited chance of ECB rate cut in January; BoE unlikely to act
Not much excitement is expected from the first ECB and BoE monetary policy meetings of 2013, as the majority of economists believe both central banks will remain on hold this month. Nevertheless, there are some doubts concerning ECB's action, as Mario Draghi hinted in December at a possibility of another rate reduction.
The general expectation for ECB's January monetary policy meeting is that of no change. Despite the fact that the central bank signalized its readiness to perform further rate cuts, "they know as well as everyone else in the market that we can’t carry on with such low interest rates for ever," as Steve Ruffley suggests. Other contributors point out that the OMT program has brought relief to the markets, that peripheral countries' bond yields have dropped and that "fundamentals are showing signs of stabilization in major countries like France and Germany," in the words of Richard C. Lee, and that all of these factors significantly reduce the need for a cut.

Cautious economic optimism induces ECB to hold rates
The ECB Governing Council unanimously decided to maintain the main interest rate at 0.75% at their first monetary policy meeting of 2013. ECB head Mario Draghi revealed a more positive outlook on the European crisis during the press conference following the interest rate announcement. The president suggested that inflation should decline below 2% during 2013. He said that economic weakness in the Eurozone will extend into the new year but that it should give way to a recovery later in the year, as confidence in financial markets is improving gradually and bond yields are seen falling considerably. Credit conditions, already satisfactory, should continue improving as well, as the two long term refinancing operations helped stave off disorderly delevering.
Mario Draghi stressed the importance of a rapid implementation of structural reforms by Eurozone governments in order to increase competitiveness in the area. This should boost growth potential and lead to a rise in employment. The ECB head also pointed out the necessity of establishing an integrated financial framework in the Eurozone of which the “single supervisory mechanism (SSM) is one of the main building blocks.” Jamie Coleman from Forex Live comments on ECB's lack of action this month: “Draghi did the euro a lot of good in the near-term by taking a rate cut off the table. But in the bigger picture he's done the ECB a disservice by leading the market to expect a rate cut at the December meeting only to change tack nearly 180 degrees at the following meeting. Central bankers are not supposed to react to each and every blip in sentiment and it appears that Draghi is doing just that.”

Focus on Bernanke speech; revenge of the doves?
With the European debt crisis temporarily buried underground, and the US debt ceiling still too many weeks far down the road to become a pressing issue, most of the weekend headlines were stolen by Japan and its quest to set a highly ambitious 2% inflation. However, on the horizon the sound of helicopter helices loom, as Federal Reserve President Ben Bernanke prepares to give a speech at the University of Michigan at 21GMT, NY close time, following the latest controversial FOMC minutes.
NAB notes: “This is his first public address since the December FOMC minutes that sparked so much chatter and market volatility surrounding the possibility that the Fed could mark time on the current phase of its QE programme by year end.” NAB expects Bernanke’s comments “to be directed at disabusing his audience that stropping balance sheet expansion as a prelude to commencing to take back policy stimulus are events that could be separated by years not months” the bank says. “If so, expect the USD to be subject to some fresh downward pressure…” NAB concludes.

Upwards scenario: EURJPY gained momentum on the upside and formed local high at 1.3404 (R1). In a thin market and economic calendar like today we are not expecting significant volatility increase, though a break here would suggest next targets at 1.3434 (R2) and 1.3463 (R3). Downwards scenario: Possibility of consolidation formation is high today.

Bernanke provides no signs of QE expiration; raising debt ceiling crucial
Ben Bernanke is giving a speech at the University of Michigan, with the talk centered on two big issues. One is the long run sustainability of the US debt, while the other is the fragile recovery. Fed's Bernanke said Federal budget must be brought under control, warning that plans to adjust the budget should be carefully well thought in order to avoid pushing the economy into recession He said that the economy "is not out of the woods", and stressed the improved optimism after the fiscal cliff deal, which in Bernanke's words, "eliminated a good bit of the restrictive components."
Fed's Bernanke noted 'some modest improvement' in jobs market, although he wants to see rosier numbers in the economy and the labour market. With regards to the number of tools available to stimulate the economy, Bernanke said "the Fed is not out of ammunition", adding that judging by the reaction of markets since the establishments of the first QE program, "overall QE has succeeded in reducing long-term rates; we have found (QE) to be an effective tool." Bernanke said is early to determine the effect of asset purchases, suggesting the extension of QE in the near term seems a done deal, while waiting further proves, especially in the labour market, to determine length of QE extension. While growth has been moderate, the housing sector, has shown positives signs, Bernanke said. "For the first time since 06/07 we have seen sustained increase in home prices, which should help us throughout the year..." https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/15012013/

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Market sentiment looks balanced and false beak outs are possible. Appreciation above the next resistance level at 1.3404 (R1) might establish new leg of uptrend formation and enable higher targets at 1.3434 (R2) and 1.346 (R3). Downwards scenario: Current market structure remains consolidative and easing below the support level at 1.3336 (S1) is likely scenario for today. Our targets located at 1.3307 (S2) and 1.3280 (S3) in perspective.

Fitch warns it might cut US rating
Much to the chagrin of investors, a fresh warning from the ratings agency Fitch was issues, stating that a debt ceiling failure would likely cause a ratings review. “…With no legal authorization for net debt issuance, the Treasury would be forced to immediately eliminate the deficit – a fiscal contraction twice as great as the recently avoided ‘fiscal cliff’ – arrears on such obligations would not constitute a default event from a sovereign rating perspective, but very likely prompt a downgrade even as debt obligations continued to be met.” As such, Fitch Ratings’ expectation – along with that of the American public and general contingent of market participants – is that Congress will raise the debt ceiling, thereby leaving the risk of a U.S. sovereign default as extremely low. “Nonetheless, a, failure to raise the debt ceiling in a timely manner will prompt a formal review of the U.S. sovereign ratings.” notes Joe Wiesenthal.
According to Fitch analysts, the debt ceiling is an ineffective and potentially dangerous mechanism for enforcing fiscal discipline – it does not prevent tax and spending decisions that will incur debt issuance in excess of the ceiling while the sanction of not raising the ceiling risks a sovereign default and renders such a threat incredible. Never mind that the statutory limitation on federal debt is a long-standing feature of the U.S. fiscal framework and applies to nearly all Treasury debt, whether held by the public or in government accounts. The fact of the matter is that any protracted debate prior to increasing the debt ceiling is not an exceptional event, however against the backdrop of unprecedentedly large peacetime budget deficits and outstanding debt, any delay in raising the limit would pose ever increasing risks to the ability of the federal government to honor its obligations in a timely fashion. The last time Congress approved an increase in the debt ceiling in August 2011, the federal government came precariously close to being in a situation where, in the words of the Treasury Secretary, it would be unable “to meet our commitments securely”.
