BOE Minutes Signaled Members Favored Further Easing

The September BOE minutes unveiled that the MPC members voted unanimously to leave the Bank rate unchanged at 0.5% and the asset purchase program at 375B pound. While policymakers noted that inflation had been coming down more slowly than anticipated, the central bank should not be refrained from expanding the size of asset purchases as the pace of economic recovery remained subdued. We retain the view that the BOE would increase the quantity of program by another 50B pound in as soon as next month.

EUR: The single currency continued to move lower today as economic data out of eurozone mostly came in lower than expected, bids from Asian names at 1.2940 were filled but more buying interests from them and Middle East names should emerge in the region of 1.2900-20, followed by mixture of bids and stops in good size further out at 1.2850-60.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6235

Despite yesterday’s rebound from 1.6185, price faltered well below the Ichimoku cloud and dropped again this morning (unfortunately we missed our short entry), current breach of said support adds credence to our view that a temporary top has been formed at 1.6273 and bearishness remains for retracement of recent upmove to previous resistance at 1.6132 and possibly to 1.6100, however, reckon previous support at 1.6071 would hold from here, bring rebound later.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Target met and sell again at 102.50

Despite yesterday’s brief bounce to 103.63, as the single currency tumbled from there after faltering below indicated resistance at 103.85, adding credence to our bearish view of a top formation, our short position entered at 103.40 met target at 101.50 today (with a quick 190 points profit), this anticipated selloff confirms top has been formed at 103.85 and bearishness remains for correction of recent rise to 101.00, below would extend weakness towards 100.70-75
