:
BOJ minutes; EZ finance ministers meeting continues; Catalan
separatists parties won; German GfK fell; Italian consumer confidence at
all time lows. Markets discounting favourable decision on Greece
tonight. EUR/USD regained the important 200-DMA and 55-DMAs in matter of
3 days. 6 trades from the Premium Insights hit all targets, 2 were
stopped out. See more details below.
USD attempted to push
higher at the beginning of the London session but it gave up all gains
and currently trades slightly lower against all majors. European
equities are losing around 0.5%.
The BOJ meeting minutes did not
provide any surprise as they contained only the usual notes of continued
powerful easing in light of a weak outlook. Despite the governor
Shirakawa comments that the currency market can be influenced by easing
until the inflation target is in sight, USDJPY declined from 82.50s to
81.92 and currently trades around 82.10.
Eurozone finance
ministers are meeting in Brussels for the third time this month on Greek
debt clearance. The goal is to agree on debt reduction and debt
sustainability before the next tranche of the aid is delivered. Markets
discounting favourable decision on Greece tonight.
Catalan
separatist parties won regional elections but voters gave no clear
message for their leaders as the Catalan president Artur Mas who called
the election actually lost a number of seats in the regional parliament.
As a consequence he will have to form an alliance with parties that
have a different socioeconomic agenda.
The European data calendar
was light, Eurozone GfK German consumer climate fell for December to
5.9 from previous 6.3 and Italian consumer confidence fell to all time
low 84.8 in November from 86.2 in October. EURUSD trades not far from
session highs around 1.2965.
There are no data reports due during
the US session today. The only risk event is a speech given by the vice
president of the ECB Vitor Constancio that is scheduled to begin at
9:00 am ET.
