Daily Report: Euro Soft ahead of ECB , New Zealand Dollar Tumbles on UnemploymentEuro remains generally soft as markets are awaiting today's ECB meeting. ECB is widely expected to hold its key interest rate at 1%, without a doubt. There has been increasing calls for restart of the Securities Markets Program, or SMP as Spanish 10 year yield has been pressing 6% level for some time. Meanwhile, Italian 10 year yield also stays above 5.5% level. Markets are getting nervous that Spanish yield could continue to march higher and eventually breach the unsustainable 7% level given the uncertainties on Spain's ability to fulfil its budget target. However, it seems that ECB is not ready to restart the SMP yet just after pausing it for less than three months since February. So a main focus in on whether Draghi will hint on restarting the SMP soon and upon what conditions would ECB do so. |

The central acknowledged the growth later in the year would be 'below-trend' but a deep downturn is not likely. The Australian dollar, which slipped ahead of the meeting, declined further after the rate decision. |

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3200Yesterday’s selloff after breaking indicated support at 1.3200-05 confirms our view that top has been formed at 1.3284 earlier this week and consolidation with downside bias remains for retracement of recent rise to previous support at 1.3105 (same level as 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.2995-1.3284), break there would extend weakness to .1.3070/75 Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Buy at 79.95Although dollar has retreated after yesterday’s rise to 80.61, if our view that a temporary low has been formed at 79.64 is correct, downside should be limited to 79.95-00 and bring another rebound later, above said resistance would add credence to this view and bring a stronger bounce to previous support at 80.86 and possibly 81.00.
