Daily Report: Markets Staying in Range as Focus Turns to UK GDP and FOMC

Markets continue to stay in tight range in Asian session today. Stocks were lifted by solid earnings from 3M and Apple. Both dollar and yen are mildly softer on risk appetite but loss is so far limited. UK GDP will be the main focus in European session today. Markets are expecting GDP to return to growth of 0.1% qoq in Q1 2011, after contracting -0.3% qoq in Q4 of 2011. Some analysts said that small positive or negative number won't matter much in economic terms. However, a return to positive number would at least means UK avoided a technical recession of GDP contraction in two consecutive quarters. And, that should provide some psychological boost. Sterling has been the firmer European major currency recently after BoE minutes showed reduced chance of additional easing. But so far, GBP/USD struggles to take out a technically important resistance level of 1.6165 and today's GDP data will likely have a make or break impact in GBP/USD's near term outlook.

Featured Technical Report

GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 130.59; (P) 130.99; (R1) 131.67; More.

GBP/JPY recovers today but stays in tight range below 131.79 and intraday bias remains neutral. With 129.53 minor support intact, another rise could still be seen. Above 131.79 will target 133.48 first. Break will confirm resumption of whole rise from 117.29. Though, below 129.83 will suggest that rebound from 127.10 is finished and flip bias back to the downside for 127.10 and possibly below to extend the correction from 133.48.
