Mid-Day Report: Yen Sharply Lower as BoJ Shocked Markets

The Japanese yen tumbles sharply today as BoJ surprised the markets by announcing additional easing. The target for monetary base expansion was rated from JPY 60-70T to JPY 80T. The decision was not unanimously and was voted by 5-4. The central bank will buy at an annual pace of JPY 80T in JGBs, comparing to prior JPY 50T, at average maturity of seven to ten years comparing to prior average of seven years. In addition, BoJ will buy an annual pace of JPY 3T in ETFs and JPY 90b in J-REITS, comparing to prior JPY 1T and JPY 30b. BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said it's now a "critical moment for Japan to emerge from deflation" and thus the decision to expand the QQE. He noted today's announce was a "pretty drastic step" and would have a "significant effect" on the economy. Yen responded negatively to the announcement and dived to six year low against dollar. Nikkei jumped sharply by 755.56 points, or 4.83% to close at 16413.76. European equities were lifted by the BoJ actions too. Meanwhile, US stock futures point to sharply high open and DJIA might take a test on record high of 17350.64 today.

Orders and Options Watch

US Session: Orders and Options Watch

JPY: Dollar continued to head north and offers at 111.80 and 112.00 were filled, however, some selling interest (for profit-taking purposes) is still seen around 112.40-50 and 112.80, mixture of offers and stops is located at 113.00-10. On the downside, bids are raised to 111.40-50 and in good size at 111.00-10 (some stops below figure), more buying interest should emerge around 110.70, 110.50 and 110.20-30.

The single currency has fallen again after meeting renewed selling interest at 1.2632 yesterday, bearishness remains for the fall from 1.2887 to extend further weakness towards recent low at 1.2501, however, break there is needed to confirm early decline from 1.3993 top has resumed for further fall to 1.2470, then 1.2450 which is likely to hold from here due to near term oversold condition.

USD/CAD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1160; (P) 1.1191; (R1) 1.1218; More...

USD/CAD's consolidation from 1.1385 is still in progress and deeper pull back cannot be ruled out. But still, near term outlook stays bullish as long as 1.1081 support holds and another rise is expected. Above 1.1254 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 1.1385. Break will extend the rise from 1.0620 to 200% projection of 1.0620 to 1.0985 from 1.0810 at 1.1540. However, break of 1.1081 will bring lengthier correction and deeper pull back before staging another rally.

Trade Idea Wrap-up: USD/CHF - Buy at 0.9525

As the greenback has retreated after intra-day brief rise to 0.9611, consolidation below this level would be seen and pullback to previous resistance at 0.9559 is likely, however, reckon the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.9527) would limit downside and bring another rise. A break of said resistance would extend recent rise from 0.9360 to 0.9625, break there would add credence to our view that early fall from 0.9690 top has ended at 0.9360 and gain to 0.9640

Mid-Day Report: Dollar Maintains Gain as GDP Beat Expectations

Dollar maintains the post FOMC gain and stays firm in early US session after better than expected growth data. Q3 GDP growth slowed to 3.5% annualized, above expectation of 2.9%. It should be noted that the 4.6% growth back in Q2 was mainly due to rebound from adverse weather back in Q1. Hence, while Q3's growth slowed, it's indeed a rather solid figure. And, combining Q2 and Q3's number, the total was the strongest six month period since 2003. GDP price index, nonetheless, slowed more than expected to 1.3%. Initial jobless claims rose 3k to 287k in October 25 versus expectation of 277k. The four-week moving average dropped to 281k, the lowest level since May 2000. Continuing claims rose 29k to 2.38m in the week ended October 18.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

USD/JPY reaches as high as 109.34 so far and intraday bias remains on the upside. Rebound from 105.19 would target a test on 110.08 first. Break will extend the larger up trend to next long term fibonacci level at 111.62. On the downside, break of 107.60 support will argue that rebound from 105.19 has completed and will bring another fall to extend the consolidation from 110.08. In that case, we'd look for reversal around 61.8% retracement of 101.08 to 110.08 at 104.51.
