Mid-Day Report: NFP Rose 243k, Unemployment Dropped to 8.3%, Dollar Mixed in Initial Reaction

Non-farm payroll report showed much larger than expected expansion in US job market by 243k in January, versus consensus of 150k. That's the beset number in nine months and even better than December's impressive 203k, revised up from 200k. Unemployment rate dropped again for the fifth straight month to 8.3%, lowest in three years. In spite of the strong data, dollar is mixed, staying in range against European majors, up against yen. The upcoming US session will be interesting in deciding whether risk rally would take off again, in particular in whether DOW could take out 12876 high decisively, and take commodity currencies higher with it.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3087; (P) 1.3141 (R1) 1.3198; More.

EUR/USD continues to stay in tight range initially after release of stronger than expected NFP data. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. On the upside, sustained break of 38.2% retracement of 1.4246 to 1.2625 at 1.3244 will resume the rebound from 1.2625 and target 61.8% retracement at 1.3627. On the downside, break of 1.2931 minor support will suggest that corrective rise from 1.2625 was already finished and the larger decline from 1.4939 is likely resuming for a new low below 1.2625.

2012 Forecast: AUD Boosted By Speculations Over Fed's QE3 In The Near-Term

The dovish January FOMC statement thrilled investors and boosted higher-yield currencies. Australian dollar was one of the beneficiaries. AUD soared against USD after the Fed pushed back the first expected rate hike to late-2014, from mid-2013 as projected in previous statements. Moreover, renewed speculations on QE3 have boosted AUD as well as other cyclical currencies. Australian dollar is expected to rise further in the near-term amid rising likelihood of monetary easing. In the medium- term, AUD will likely trade sub-parity against the USD but upside risks remain there for the commodity currency and any accommodative policy from China should help push the currency higher.
