Daily Report: Risk Aversion Continues as Moody's Downgraded Spanish Banks, Fitch Downgraded Greece, Yen Jumps

Market sentiments were further hurt by worries on Spain, Greece and European banking sector as a whole. Moody's downgrade of 16 Spanish banks and the surging yield in bond auctions sent Spanish CDS to record high of 552 bps while benchmark 10 year yield continues to march towards 7% unsustainable level. Fitch downgraded Greece on risk of Euro exit. Asian equities are broadly lower following the -1.24% fall in DOW overnight while dollar index is heading closer to 2012 high of 81.78. Note that, this round, yen is the biggest winner and overshadowed dollar as markets are starting to expect additional easing from Fed due to global financial market risks and recent weak US economic data.

GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 124.26; (P) 126.12; (R1) 127.09; More...

GBP/JPY's decline extends further to as low as 124.64 so far today and intraday bias remains on the downside for 61.8% retracement of 116.83 to 133.48 at 123.19 next. Break of the lower channel line suggests that acceleration and sustained break of 123.47 will target a test on 116.83/117.29 support zone. On the upside, above 125.72 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But recovery should be limited by 127.10 support turned resistance and bring fall resumption.

Moody's Downgrade Unveils Insufficiency Of Latest Spanish Banking Reform

Despite further banking reform, Moody's announced to downgrade 16 Spanish banks with ratings of Banco Santander (SAN) SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBVA), Spain's biggest lenders, cut 3 notches to A3. The rating agency stated that the downgrades were mainly due to reassessment of each bank's standalone credit quality which is expected to deteriorate further in the coming year. Moreover, downgrades of 5 banks were also due to anticipation of reduced support from the Spanish government. Both the EU and the IMF welcomed the latest round of reform announced in Spain earlier in the month. However, in our opinion, the 4 key measures, including additional provision requirements for banks, availability of government capital injections, creation of a framework for 'bad banks' and employment of independent audits, while indicating some progress for the restructuring, are rather modest and are not expected to have significant impacts on transforming the banking sector.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.2760

Although euro has resumed recent decline after meeting renewed selling interests just below the Ichimoku cloud bottom and weakness to 1.2640 is likely, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below previous chart support at 1.2624 and risk from there has increased for a corrective rebound later. Above intra-day resistance at 1.2708 would bring test of the lower Kumo (now at 1.2725) but renewed selling interests should emerge around previous resistance at 1.2759) and bring another decline.

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9380
