Mid-Day Report: Euro Selloff Resumed on Spain, Sterling Hit Harder

Euro's selloff resumed today after brief consolidation on negative news out of Spain. While markets are clearly still concerned with Greece situation, result of next election and whether Greece will exit euro eventually, investors are equally concerned, if not more, on the situation in Spain. The sharp jump in yield in today's Spain bond auctions reflected such worries. And news from Spain dragged European equities broadly down. Meanwhile, Sterling's fate has turned since the dovish BoE quarterly inflation report released yesterday. The pound seems to be losing its safe haven status in Eurozone political turmoil and the selloff accelerates today.

Language Of FOMC Minutes Signaled More Dovish Outlook

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.2810

Although the single currency has fallen below yesterday’s low of 1.2682, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 1.2650 and recent low of 1.2624 is likely to hold form here, risk from there is seen for a strong rebound later. Above the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.2713) would bring retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.2742) and possibly the upper Kumo (now at 1.2787) but previous support at 1.2814 would limit upside and bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Sell at 1.0100

As aussie has recovered after yesterday’s fall to 0.9870, suggesting minor consolidation would be seen and correction to 1.0010/15 is likely, however, renewed selling interests should emerge around 1.0100 and bring another decline to 0.9850 but loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 0.9820 and reckon 0.9800 should hold from here, risk from there is seen for a corrective rebound later.
