BOJ eases more than expected
The BOJ left the overnight call rate range unchanged between 0.0% and 0.1%. Amid much anticipated expectations of the BoJ following the Fed and ECB with further easing, the bank decided to increase the APP program by 10 trillion yen. The increase in the size corresponds to additional increases of treasury disccount bills by 5trillion yen and purchases in JGBs by another 5 trillion. BOJ keeps monthly JGB purchases at 1.8 trillion yen. As John Noonan, Head of IFR Markets, notes: "BOJ has eased a bit more than most were expecting. Market likes it and USD/JPY testing 79.00 level from 78.70 before announcment."
Lack of macro economic EUR related data for the London session ahead will be the news, with only ECB Governing Council 2 day Meeting starting today, while in the sovereign debt auctions front Germany will sell up to € 5B in 2 year federal notes, and Portugal trying to sell up to € 1.75 in short term T-bills at 09:30 GMT. Portugal 10 year bonds reached past week record 1 ½ year-lows around 8% coming from as high as 17% from Feb 2012, last at 8.72%, while Germany is dealing with 4-month highs touched on Monday at 1.74%, last at 1.65%.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD penetrated below the suggested support level at 1.3085 yesterday but failed to go much lower and reach any of our targets. Medium term bias remains positive and today we expect further appreciation if it manage to overcome next resistance level at 1.3116 (R1). Strengthening above it might open way towards to next targets at 1.3172 (R2) and 1.3227 (R3). Current retracement formation might face next support levels at 1.2995 (S1), 1.2941 and 1.2888 (S3) in potential.

EU and Spanish authorities working on bailout program - FT

Brussels is reportedly helping Madrid to tweak an economic reform plan thought to be announced next week, the FT reports. "According to officials involved in the discussions, talks between the Spanish government and the European Commission are focusing on measures that would be demanded by international lenders as part of a new rescue programme, ensuring they are in place before a bailout is formally requested. The plan will focus on structural reforms to the Spanish economy."
London session ahead will lack any major risk event related to EUR, including sovereign debt auctions, as usual on Fridays, whit EZ periphery troubled countries yields at more reasonable levels, with Spanish 10y at 5.87%.

Will the RBA cut rates in Sept? - NAB
The RBA 2 October rate decision has many media commentators expecting a rate cut and the market. NAB: "The Minutes from September were softer than the post Board Statement when they added the line that 'The current assessment of the inflation outlook continued to provide scope to adjust policy in response to any significant deterioration in the outlook for growth.”' But we have not seen a 'significant deterioration in the outlook for growth' since early September. At this stage we'd say a cut is less a 50% chance."
London session ahead will bring all kinds of talks related to EZ debt crisis as Greece is urged by Troika to reduce budgets even more, Spain will release plenty of key data on coming Friday, and rumors on ESM to be leveraged up to € 2 Trillion make the rounds. In the economic agenda most important and almost only data to be released will be German IFO business climate at 08:00 GMT although the Netherlands final GDP will also be published 30 minutes earlier. European Parliament Committee hearing on Libor scandal will also take place today.

RBA Financial Stability Review: Cautiously upbeat on the economy
According to the RBA Financial Stability Review, Australian households remain well positioned to pay back their debts. Looking at business appetite for debt, the central bank expects it to recover while reaffirming that corporate balance sheets are in good shape. The RBA commented that IMF tests indicate banks are likely to withstand severe shocks, although they remain strong to cope with any potential EZ shock, which they expect is likely to remain core risk to the global financial system. RBA warned that the decrease in profits by banks may promote unwanted riskier lending. RBA is confident that modest employment growth will continue, according to latest survey observations.
Busy day ahead for the London session in the sovereign debt auctions front, with Italy selling zero coupon bonds and the Netherlands up to € 2.5B worth of 20 year bonds, while Spain will try to sell 3 and 6 month bills.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Technical Summary: The pair continues to extend its weakness on the short term perspective. We expect the pair to remain on a gradual downtrend formation today. Main scenario: Our 20 sma at 1.6212 (S1) acts as next support level. Below here opens the way for a return to 1.6185 (S2) price level. Potential is seen to reach final target at 1.6157 (S3) in perspective. Alternative scenario: Risk of upside penetration is seen above the next resistance at 1.6242(R1). Clearance here would suggest next targets at 1.6270 (R2) and 1.6295 (R3) in potential.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Technical Summary: Pair has settled negative bias on the hourly timeframe however pull back formation is possible. Today’s trading session has set up negative sentiment with instrument depreciation to -0.12% from its opening price. Main scenario: If instrument holds its momentum, we expect to see penetration below the next support at 77.73 (S1). In such scenario we suggest our next targets to be placed at 77.59 (S2) and 77.44 (S3). Alternative scenario: Our 20 sma might be considered as dynamic resistance for the instrument. Successful attack to the 77.91 (R1) price level might encourage correction formation with next targets in focus at 78.06 (R2) and 78.20 (R3)

Moody's downgrade to Spain as early as today? - NAB
After poor risk sentiment on Wednesday, immediate risk now, according to NAB analysts, "is that Moody’s may act to slash Spain’s credit rating to junk, having warned in mid-June (when it cut Spain by three notched to Baa3) that further action was likely within three months." The timing of ratings agency actions, NAB explains, "has been exquisite so don’t bet against this happening as early as today."
Busy session ahead in London with all eyes focused on Spain, though there will also be plenty of risk events coming on the way. German import prices will be released at 06:00 GMT, followed 1 hour later by Spanish retail sales, German unemployment change at 07:55 GMT, EU M3 and private loans 5 minutes later along with Italy business sentiment, and EU business climate index and sentiment data at 09:00 GMT.

ECB on wait-and-see mode this week - Nomura
No major policy announcements is expected from the ECB in October, says Nomura Senior European Economist Nick Matthews; "we do not expect any movement on rates as the Governing Council continues to see no urgency to cut rates again" the Economist notes. Furthermore, "while the ECB is likely to continue to expect inflation to remain in line with price stability over the policy-relevant horizon, we expect the Council to continue to stress that renewed intensification of financial market tensions could affect the balance of risks for both growth and inflation." Nick notes that "recent Governing Council comments, including from within the Executive Board, have reinforced this sense of wait-and-see on interest rates."
London session ahead will mostly bring manufacturing PMIs from several EZ countries starting with Spain at 07:13 GMT, followed 30 minutes later by Italy, France 5 minutes after, Germany another 5 minutes, and finally the EU's and Greece at 07:58 GMT. Then will come Italy unemployment at 08:00 GMT, and EU's unemployment 1 hour later.

Technical Summary: Instrument trades in positive tone after the Friday’ gains. On the hourly chart Stochastic Oscillator reached oversold zone and further increase is possible from current levels however we recommend to wait clear break out of Friday’s high for confirmation of the uptrend formation. Further decline below our support level might change overall technical picture and shift market sentiment to the bearish side. Main scenario: Next resistance is seen at 78.10 (R1). If the pair manages to successfully climb above it, we expect next targets at 78.19 (R2) and 78.28 (R3). Alternative scenario: While next support is placed at 77.83 (S1), decline below it would put in focus next target at 77.75 (S2) and any further depreciation would then be limited to 77.67 (S3) intraday.
