Daily Report: Dollar Maintains Gain in Asia, Eyes on ADP EmploymentDollar maintains some post-ISM gains in Asian session today even though there is lack of follow through buying so far. Richmond Fed Lacker, a known hawk, warned that additional quantitative easing would raise inflation while provide little help to growth. Lacker noted that "confidence in the sustainability of the recovery" is growing and he expects growth to strengthen into 2013. And Lacker said the first hike might come in mid-2013, much earlier than the late 2014 pledge from Fed. And that could still happen even if unemployment rate remains well above 7%. |

AUD/USD Daily OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 1.0282; (P) 1.0355; (R1) 1.0406; More Intraday bias in AUD/USD remains on the downside for 1.0225/0246 support zone. As noted before, consolidation from 1.0225 might be finished with three waves to 1.0473 already. Break of 1.0225 will confirm resumption of whole decline from 1.0652 and should target parity and below. On the upside, though, above 1.0473 will revive the case that AUD/USD has bottomed out at 1.0225 and turn bias back to the upside for 1.0636 resistance instead. |

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9060Despite yesterday’s marginal fall to 0.9043, lack of follow through selling and the subsequent rebound on dollar’s broad-based strength suggests a temporary low is possibly formed and a firm breach above 0.9100 would bring test of previous resistance of 0.9134 but break of latter level is needed to confirm this view, bring retracement of recent decline towards previous resistance at 0.9172 later. Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3250Despite yesterday’s marginal rise to 1.3284, the subsequent sharp retreat on dollar’s broad-based rebound after the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. data suggests a temporary top has been formed there and consolidation with downside bias remains, a sustained breach of 1.3200-05 would confirm this view and bring retracement of recent rise to 1.3170 and then test of support at 1.3157 Candlesticks Intraday Trade Ideas Update Schedule (GMT): Elliott Wave Daily Trade Ideas Update Schedule (GMT): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
