FXStreet reports that Mazen Issa, Senior FX Strategist at TD Securities is biased to NZD weakness on the crosses, particularly AUD/NZD, following comments from the Reserve Bank of new Zealand (RBNZ) that suggest more easing is in the pipeline.
“On the one hand, the RBNZ has signaled that a ‘least regrets approach to thinking how much stimulus to deliver’ is a clear indication that the central bank is readying the stimulus canon. On the other hand, the NZD is also a beneficiary of the reflation trade in a Biden/blue wave administration.”
“We think AUDNZD topside makes sense and we look for a run towards 1.1050. In our FX monthly, we highlighted that we would engage in AUDNZD longs on a dip towards 1.0750. Admittedly, that position may have run away from us in the last couple of days. Nonetheless, we think AUD/NZD dips should be faded from here in anticipation of the RBNZ decision next month.”
The Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) reported on Thursday the seasonally adjusted
annual rate of housing starts was at 208,980 units in September, down 20.1
percent from a downwardly revised 261,547 units in August (originally 262,396 units).
This was the highest reading since September 2007.
Economists had
forecast an annual pace of 240,000 for September.
According to the report, urban starts plunged by 21.1
percent m-o-m last month to 195,909 units, as multiple urban starts tumbled by 27.0
percent m-o-m to 146,005 units, while single-detached urban starts rose by 3.4
percent m-o-m 49,904 units. At the same time, rural starts were estimated at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 13,071 units.
U.S. stock-index futures rose on Thursday, as expectations of more fiscal stimulus being approved in the U.S. outweighed disappointing weekly jobless claims.

FXStreet reports that according to the Credit Suisse analyst team, the EUR/JPY pair is expected to see a sustained move above its 55-day average to reinforce its base for an eventual move back to the 127.08 September high.
“EUR/JPY remains well supported at 123.86/84 as expected and is seeing a fresh and concerted challenge on its 55-day average and 50% retracement of the September fall at 124.72/74. With a base in place, we continue to look for a clear and sustained move above here to reinforce the base and resumption of the broader uptrend resumed.”
“We see the next resistance at the 61.8% retracement and price resistance at 125.28/32, ahead of 126.46 and eventually the 127.08/11 high and long-term downtrend from late 2014, where we would expect fresh sellers to show.”

The data from
the Labor Department revealed on Thursday the number of applications for
unemployment exceeded economists’ forecast last week, as the U.S. labor market
struggles to recover from its biggest shock in history, caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
According to
the report, the initial claims for unemployment benefits totaled 840,000 for
the week ended October 3.
Economists had
expected 820,000 new claims last week.
Claims for the
prior week were revised upwardly to 849,000 from the initial estimate of 837,000.
Meanwhile, the
four-week moving average of claims dropped to 857,000 from an upwardly revised
870,250 in the previous week.
Continuing
claims declined to 10,976,000 million from an upwardly revised 11,979,000 in
the previous week.

USD edged down against most other major currencies in the European session on Thursday as investors grew more optimistic that the U.S. lawmakers could approve more fiscal stimulus for the U.S. economy, even if it comes in the form of smaller, targeted aid bills.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), measuring the U.S. currency's value relative to a basket of foreign currencies, dropped 0.03% to 93.60.
FOX News' congressional correspondent reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin expected to speak again today about narrow coronavirus bills, specifically for airlines.
In addition, market participants continued to digest the minutes of the September meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve, released on Wednesday, which hinted at the central bank's willingness to provide deeper monetary support in the form of accelerated monthly bond purchases and years of near-zero interest rates.
Investors also bet that Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for U.S. president, if elected, would quickly spend money to stimulate economic recovery.
The ECB
released account of its September 9-10 monetary policy meeting. It noted that:
FXStreet reports that analysts at Credit Suisse note that upward pressure continues to build in the S&P 500 Index with a break above 3429/44 seen marking the completion of a “head & shoulders” base for a resumption of the broader core uptrend.
“The S&P 500 has for now essentially ignored the bearish ‘reversal day’ from Tuesday and this leaves the focus firmly on the mid-September highs and 61.8% retracement of the fall from September at 3429/44.”
“With a clear ‘head & shoulders’ base forming and with daily MACD momentum having already turned higher our bias leans higher for an eventual clear and sustained move above 3444. This would then see a more important base established to mark a resumption of the core uptrend. We would then see resistance at 3495 initially ahead of 3565 and eventually the 3588 high. Immediate support moves to 3396/94, with 3385/81 now ideally holding to keep the immediate risk higher.”
FXStreet notes that NZD/USD has held above the potential uptrend from August at 0.6521 to reinforce the view of the Credit Suisse analyst team of further sideways trading. Resistance moves initially to 0.6601 while support is seen at 0.6568.
“NZD/USD corrective weakness has come to a halt for a rebound higher just ahead of the potential uptrend from August, currently at 0.6521. This reinforces the view that we could see further sideways trading before an eventual resumption of the core bull trend, with resistance seen initially at 0.6601, ahead of 0.6657/58, where we would expect to see a pause at first.”
“Removal of 0.6657/58 would subsequently open the door to the cluster of resistances at 0.6778/6806 – the recent and current year highs as well as the 78.6% retracement of the December 2018/March 2020 fall – where we would expect to see a more concerted effort to cap at first.”
“Support moves to 0.6568, then 0.6547/40, beneath which would see a move back to 0.6521/12.
FXStreet reports that economist at UOB Group Lee Sue Ann reviewed the recent fiscal measures announced by the Australian government.
“Australia PM Scott Morrison’s conservative government, on Tuesday (6 October), unleashed further emergency stimulus to prop up economic growth, backpedalling on a previous promise to return the budget to surplus. The 2020/21 Budget brings the Government's overall support to A$507bn, including A$257bn in direct economic support.”
“Australia delayed the release of this year’s federal budget, which usually takes place in May, as the COVID-19 pandemic upended most of the economic assumptions underlying its projections... The latest measures are forecast to push the budget deficit out to a record A$213.7bn (around 11% of GDP).”
“The government’s highly expansionary budget came shortly after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)’s policy decision on Tuesday, at which it kept interest rates at a record-low and flagged reducing high unemployment rate as a national priority. Further monetary expansion is likely, but we think the impact will be modest.”
FXStreet reports that Brexit deal optimism is helping to lift the GBP/USD pair back towards the 1.3000-level. However, the sharp rise in UK COVID-19 cases is set to trigger renewed restrictions, dampening the good mood, as per MUFG Bank.
“Bloomberg has reported that in private, officials are more upbeat over the likelihood of reaching a trade deal despite the UK government’s continued public threats to walk away from talks if a deal is not reached by the 15th October while the EU has dared Boris Johnson to walk away if he views a deal as impossible. The upcoming EU Summit on 15th and 16th October is viewed as more of a ‘stock-taking exercise’ which won’t get in the way of negotiations.”
“The improving mood music surrounding the Brexit talks is encouraging a stronger pound. However, the upside potential for the pound from Brexit developments is being dampened by negative COVID-19 developments in the UK. The sharp rise in COVID-19 cases particularly in the North of England and London is increasing the risk of tighter restrictions being re-imposed in the coming weeks and months that could deliver a more significant setback to the economic recovery.”
Reuters reports that ECB vice president Luis de Guindos said on Thursday that the European Central Bank has to use the tools at its disposal as the coronavirus pandemic depresses inflation expectations and an incipient recovery loses steam.
"Inflation expectations are very subdued as a result of the pandemic and some specific factors and we have to act with the tools available to us," de Guindos said in response to a question about the ECB's bond purchases.
FXStreet reports that there is plenty of risk of further equity turbulence on US political headlines, keeping the AUD/USD pair capped at 0.7250 and with scope for a test of the 100-Day Moving Average (DMA) at 0.7064, as per Westpac.
“Australia’s official 2020/21 budget was well flagged as usual, with the delivery of the details not inspiring a noticeable A$ response. This financial year is set to produce a record-smashing deficit“.
“H2 is likely to produce reasonable growth even if Victoria’s restrictions remain harsh and as tensions between New South Wales and Queensland deepen over the latter’s ongoing border closure.”
“AUD/USD continues to follow the swings in US equities, which in turn keeps political news prominent.”
“We switch from up to neutral on the week, with rallies capped around 0.7230/50 and scope for a test of the 100-DMA at 0.7064.”
CNBC reports that with uncertainty looming over the upcoming U.S. elections in November, JPMorgan Asset Management’s Patrik Schowitz says investors should look past the “noise” and focus on the medium term instead.
“On a six month view, you know, we think the cyclical view matters much, much more than … the exact noise and shenanigans around the U.S. election,” Schowitz, global multi-asset strategist at the firm, told CNBC.
“Anything longer than say two or three months, you should be positioned risk-on, you should be overweight risky assets like credit, like equities,” he said.
Still, Schowitz acknowledged that there are “a lot of risks” ahead over the next month or two, with the firm staying more balanced at present.
Commenting on the potential for more U.S. stimulus, Schowitz said: “It’ll be better to get to stimulus now, but as long as we get it early next year we think the economy will be able to get through that,” adding that households that have built a “massive amount of savings.”
Bloomberg reports that Greek bonds yields dropped to a record low as support from the European Central Bank and the European Union quells investor concerns about the health of the region’s most indebted nation in the face of the coronavirus.
Yields on the nation’s 10-year securities fell as much as six basis points to 0.881%, dropping below a previous low set in February, before the height of the pandemic crisis in Europe.
The rally is “consistent with the collapse in credit and term premia across European rates markets, and with rising expectations of ECB easing,” said Antoine Bouvet, senior rates strategist at ING Groep NV in London. “The trend is your friend.”
The Greek government expects public debt-to-GDP will be close to 200% for 2020 before declining again in 2021. The draft budget presented Monday sees growth of as much as 7.5% in 2021 after a sharp decline of 8.2% this year, mainly due to a forecast 30.4% increase in investments.
FXStreet reports that FX Strategists at UOB Group believe USD/CNH is poised for further downside in the next weeks.
24-hour view: “Our expectation for USD to ‘edge higher to 6.7600’ did not quite materialize as it traded in a quiet manner between 6.7276 and 6.7544. The underlying tone has weakened somewhat but while USD could edge lower but Monday’s (05 Oct) low of 6.7135 could be just out of reach (minor support is at 6.7200). Resistance is at 6.7450 but the stronger level is at 6.7550.”
Reuters reports that the French economy rebounded 16% in the third quarter after an unprecedented 13.8% slump in the previous three months, the central bank estimated
The euro zone’s second-biggest economy slumped deep into recession in the second quarter after the country was put under one of the strictest coronavirus lockdowns in Europe for two months.
Since the lockdown lifted on May 11, business activity has sprung back to life and the economy was operating down 5% from pre-crisis levels as of September, the central bank said.
FXStreet reports that Bart Melek, Head of Commodity Strategy at TD Securities, notes that WTI Oil tough support is seen at $37 while stubborn resistance awaits at $42.
“Given that the US and global demand recovery is likely to be somewhat slower than previously thought and considering that OPEC+ is not firmly signaling that it will postpone (or promise additional cuts if needed) its planned increase in shipments starting in January, crude oil will likely be under pressure. However, since investors are already positioned short and given there will be a vaccine, new fiscal spending after the election on the horizon and considering that there is a storm raging in the US Gulf, the downside is likely to be limited.”
“The upside is also well constrained. We judge there is good technical support near $37/bbl, with strong resistance near $42/bbl.”

During today's Asian trading, the US dollar declined against the euro and was almost unchanged against the yen.
Traders are assessing the prospects for the US authorities to take new stimulus measures against the background of the controversial actions of US President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, Trump announced the termination of negotiations with Congress on a new package of incentives before the presidential election, which will be held on November 3, but a few hours later called on lawmakers to approve the allocation of additional assistance to airlines, as well as funds for small business support programs and direct payments to Americans.
House speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that Democrats oppose passing several bills to target certain segments of the economy outside of a large-scale stimulus package. "It's hard to see a clear, reasonable line in what he's doing," Pelosi said, commenting on Trump's actions.
The ICE index, which tracks the US dollar against six currencies (the Euro, Swiss franc, yen, canadian dollar, pound sterling and Swedish Krona), fell 0.08%.
Traders are closely monitoring the dynamics of US - China relations after Bloomberg reported yesterday that Washington is considering imposing restrictions on China's Ant Group and Tencent Holdings Ltd. due to concerns that the payment platforms of these companies may pose a threat to US national security.
Reuters reports that financial services firms in Britain turned more optimistic for the first time this year as a drop in business bottomed out, but big uncertainties remained about COVID-19 and a post-Brexit trade deal.
Quarterly survey by the Confederation of British Industry showed that a drop in profits for banks, finance companies and building societies was partly offset by growth in earnings from insurance and investment management.
"While it is reassuring to see business volumes begin to stabilise in a sector so vital for the UK's recovery, financial services isn't out of the woods just yet," Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's chief economist, said.
Staff numbers fell less severely than in the previous three-month period and the decline was expected to slow again.
The survey was conducted between Sept. 1 and Sept. 19 and 133 firms replied.
Coronavirus second wave will obviously add to economic uncertainty
Some sectors of the economy need further support for the recovery
Some parts of the economy will face structural change due to the pandemic
It is in the interests of UK and EU to get a Brexit deal
FXStreet reports that FX Strategists at UOB Group expect EUR/USD to navigate within the 1.1640-1.1820 range in the next weeks.
Next 1-3 weeks: “Yesterday, we highlighted that ‘as EUR approaches 1.1830, upward momentum has improved, albeit not by much’. We added, ‘there is room for EUR to edge above 1.1830 and move towards the next resistance at 1.1870’. EUR subsequently rose to a high of 1.1807 before dropping suddenly to an overnight low of 1.1730. While our ‘strong support’ level at 1.1715 is still intact, the rapid loss in momentum indicates that our expectation for a higher EUR is incorrect. From here, it seems that EUR has lapsed back into a consolidation phase and is likely trade between 1.1640 and 1.1820 for now.”
According to the latest KPMG and REC, UK Report on Jobs survey, a further recovery in hiring activity was seen during September, with both permanent placements and temp billings rising at steeper rates.
Panel members indicated that the easing of lockdown measures to contain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak had led clients to take on more staff. At the same time, overall vacancies rose for the first time since February, albeit only slightly. Nonetheless, redundancies stemming from the pandemic led to a further substantial increase in staff supply, which dampened pay trends for both permanent and temporary workers.
UK recruitment consultancies signalled a further increase in overall recruitment activity during September. Notably, permanent placement growth was the strongest for nearly two years, while temp billings expanded at the quickest rate since the end of 2018. The upturns were widely linked to the reopening of the UK economy and the recommencement of projects following the easing of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown measures.
Starting salaries awarded to permanent workers continued to fall solidly in September, with the rate of decline accelerating slightly since August. Meanwhile, temp wages fell only modestly. In both cases, rising candidate numbers, subdued demand for workers and greater pressure on clients' budgets were linked to reduced pay.
According to the report from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in August 2020, German exports were up 2.4% and imports 5.8% on July 2020 after calendar and seasonal adjustment. Destatis also reports that, compared with February 2020, the month before restrictions were imposed due to the corona pandemic, exports were down 9.9%, and imports 6.4% when adjusted for calendar and seasonal variations.
Germany exported goods to the value of 91.2 billion euros and imported goods to the value of 78.5 billion euros in August 2020. Compared with August 2019, exports decreased by 10.2%, and imports by 7.9% in August 2020.
The foreign trade balance showed a surplus of 12.8 billion euros in August 2020. In August 2019, the surplus amounted to 16.4 billion euros. In calendar and seasonally adjusted terms, the foreign trade balance recorded a surplus of 15.7 billion euros in August 2020.
The German current account of the balance of payments showed a surplus of 16.5 billion euros in August 2020, which takes into account the balances of trade in goods (+14.4 billion euros), services (-2.9 billion euros), primary income (+8.2 billion euros) and secondary income (-3.2 billion euros). In August 2019, the German current account showed a surplus of 15.9 billion euros.
