Daily Report: Euro Extends Recovery on Greece, France and Spain Auction Eyed

Euro extends recovery against other major currencies on report that Greece is close to a deal with private sector investor on debt swap. An unnamed official said that there could be an agreement by the end of this week. With the deal, private creditors would have the face value of their Greek bonds cut by as much as 50% through swapping existing bonds with ones with longer maturity and lower interest rates. That could help Greece secure loans from EU/IMF and get through the critical date of March 20, which it will face EUR 14.5 bond repayments. Another official also noted that Greece is still considering the so called collective action clause on its bonds if only a minority of bond holders disagree to the deal. Meanwhile, it's also reported that IMF approved its staff to official start discussion with Greece on an expanded bailout. At this point, EUR/USD is still held by near term resistance at 1.2878 while EUR/AUD is also kept well below 1.2446, and thus, there is no indication of near term reversal yet. Though, EUR/JPY's breach of 98/80 resistance is taken as a sign of bottoming and we'll see if the EUR/JPY could lead other pairs higher.

Featured Technical Report

EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 98.03; (P) 98.46; (R1) 99.23; More

EUR/JPY's break of 98.80 resistance suggests that a short term bottom is formed at 97.03 on bullish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside and stronger rebound could be seen to 38.2% retracement of 105.54 to 97.03 at 100.28. But near term outlook will remain bearish as long as 102.48 support turned resistance holds and recent decline is still expected to continue. On the downside, below 97.68 minor support will flip bias back to the downside for retesting 97.03 low first.

Special Report

China Watch: Shift To Monetary Easing Should Support Chinese Growth In 2012

The Chinese economy grew +8.9% y/y in 4Q11, down from +9.1% in the prior quarter. Despite the slowdown, the result beat consensus and brought relief to those who worried that growth would have slipped below 8%. Expansion in the fourth quarter was driven by surge in industrial production and retail sales. For full year 2011, GDP growth reached +9.2%, in line with market expectations. The question now comes to how the world's second largest economy would perform in 2012 given external headwinds and domestic slowdown. In our opinion, a soft landing is a likely scenario and the chance of sub-8% growth is quite low as policy easing by the government helps limit the downside risks to growth. We expect GDP will grow by mid-8% in 2012.

USD index 2012 Elliott Wave Forecast

Despite falling to as low as 72.70 in H1 2011, dollar index found good support there and staged a rebound from there back to the opening level of 2011, suggesting the major downtrend is not ready to resume yet and wave IV correction is still unfolding as a complex correction. We are keeping our preferred count that a major (A)-(B)-(C) wave has commenced since 1980s with (A) wave ended at 78.19 in 1992, followed by a 3-legged wave (B) ended at 121.02 in 2001 and 5-waver wave (C) is unfolding with wave III ended at 70.70 in 2008.

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.2750
