Mid-Day Report: Sterling Jumps on Retail Sales, FOMC Minutes Next

Sterling soars in European session today after BoE minutes and stronger than expected retail sales data. The BOE minutes for the May meeting unveiled that while members voted 9-0 for no change in policy, maintaining the Bank rate at a record low of 0.5% and the asset purchase program at 375B pounds, some were getting closer to support a rate hike as economic activities gathered momentum. Yet, in the meantime, all members agreed that 'it would be necessary to see more evidence of slack reducing before an increase in Bank rate would be warranted'.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD - Sell at 1.3700

As the single currency has slipped after meeting renewed selling interest at 1.3723, bearishness is seen for a retest of last week's low of 1.3648, break there would extend recent decline from 1.3993 top to 1.3620-25 (61.8% projection of 1.3993-1.3745 measuring from 1.3775) and then towards 1.3600 which is likely to hold on first testing due to near term oversold condition, risk from there is seen for a rebound later.

Trade Idea Update: USD/JPY - Hold short entered at 101.60

Despite intra-day initial fall to 100.82, as the greenback held above previous support at 100.76 and has rebounded in part due to dollar's broad-based strength, suggesting caution on our bearishness and intra-day resistance at 101.39 needs to hold to retain downside bias for early decline from 105.44 (2014 high) to bring test of 100.76-82 support, break there would extend weakness towards 100.50, however, oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 100.30-35
