Mid-Day Report: Markets Range Bound, Awaiting Bernanke's Speech TomorrowDollar is mildly lower against European majors and yen but is staying in range so far. Meanwhile, commodity currencies remained generally soft on weakness in global stocks. Data from US saw personal income rose 0.3% in July while spending rose 0.4%. That's the first rise in spending in three months. Headline PCE rose slightly to 1.6% yoy and core PCE moderated to 1.6% yoy. Initial jobless claims was steady at 374k in the week ended August 25. Continuing claims dropped by 5k to 3.32m in the week ended August 18. The data provided little inspiration to markets as all minds are on Fed Chairman Bernanke's speech in Jackson Hole Symposium tomorrow. |

USD/JPY Mid-Day OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 78.53; (P) 78.65; (R1) 78.83; More... USD/JPY is staying in range above 78.33 as consolidation continues and intraday bias remains neutral. Above 78.84 will bring another recovery. Though, the overall outlook remains unchanged. That is, price actions from 77.66 are either a consolidation pattern that's completed with three waves to 79.65, or is a five wave triangle pattern. In either case, recovery attempt should be limited well below 79.65 resistance. Break of 77.99 will indicate that fall from 84.17 is finally resuming for 75.56/84.17 support zone. |

Previewing Jackson Hole Symposium - Wait Longer For QE3Investors are holding breath ahead of the annual Jackson Hole symposium on Friday. Reminiscent of the forum held in 2010, investors are full of hopes that Chairman Ben Bernanke would give some hints on the outlook of the Fed's quantitative easing policies. Not wanting to pour cold water but we do not expect much surprise to come from the symposium, mainly due to the fact that many thoughts of policymakers have already been disclosed in the minutes for the August FOMC meeting. We expect the rundown of Bernanke's speech would similar to those made in past years, including discussion of the economic outlook and Fed's policy responses. He would also elaborate more the various options of easing tools, with pros and cons of each being addressed. |
