FED: Jan 25-26 FOMC minutes do not show raucous debate.

Staff economic ests were revised up and members "expressed greater confidence that the econ recovery would be sustained and would gradually strengthen." Some
said strength in winter data, such as more exports and auto sales, could prove temporary, thus medium term econ to remain restrained. Some worry about energy/commodities as upside inflation risks, but others said pass-thru is small and large resource slack will restrain prices. On QE: "A few members remained unsure of the likely effects of the asset purchase program on the economy, but felt that making changes to the program at this time was not appropriate." Members emphasized will "regularly review" QE. Some said "a sufficiently strong recovery could make it appropriate to consider reducing the pace or overall size of the purchase program. However, others pointed out that it was unlikely that the outlook would change by enough to substantiate any adjustments."
FOMC central tendency ests for econ & inflation were rev up, as mkt expected, but at expense of '12 ests. 2011 real GDP now +3.4%-3.9% (vs 3.0%-3.6% in Nov est); 2012 real GDP now +3.5%-4.4% (vs +3.6%-4.5% Nov).
Unemployment rate now 8.8%-9.0% in '11 (vs 8.9%-9.1% Nov est) and 7.6%-8.1% in '12 (vs 7.7%-8.2% Nov), still gradually declining. PCE core inflation seen +1.0%-1.3% in '11 (vs 0.9%-1.6% in Nov est) and +1.0%-1.5% in '12 (vs 1.0%-1.6% Nov), up a tad but little changed overall.

American focus: dollar remains under pressure

The dollar fell against most of its major counterparts after U.S. builders began work on more homes at an annualized rate than forecast in January and manufacturing rose, fueling appetite for higher-yielding assets.
U.S. builders broke ground on 596,000 homes at an annualized rate last month, according to Commerce Department data. The median forecast was for a rate of 539,000.
Manufacturing rose 0.3 percent in January, data from the Federal Reserve showed. Overall industrial production unexpectedly declined 0.1 percent as utilities, which had a decline in demand because of milder temperatures, and mining fell, the figures showed.
“Gradually the market seems to be more bullish on the world economic recovery, and so the risk-on trade will come more and more into fashion,” said Mamoru Arai, a senior currency trader at Mizuho Financial Group Inc. in New York.
The Swiss franc briefly gained versus the euro after Israel said two Iranian warships plan to sail through the Suez Canal and called the move a “provocation.” The pound slid against all of its most-traded counterparts after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said inflation will peak this year and ease in 2012, damping speculation interest rates will rise.
“The big mover was sterling, with a less-hawkish-than- expected inflation report and mildly weaker employment data,” said Firas Askari, head currency trader in Toronto at Bank of Montreal.

The yen reached a two-week low versus the euro as stocks rose on optimism that the global recovery is gaining momentum.
“Confidence in the global economy is certainly improving, and that’s resulting in safe-haven currencies such as the yen and dollar weakening,” said Lee Hardman, a foreign-exchange strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd.
The pound slid after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said inflation will peak this year and ease in 2012.
The Bank of England today said its central forecast is for inflation to peak at about 4.4% this year before easing to the 2% goal by the middle of 2012, and undershoot the target within two years.
“The best collective judgment of the committee is that the chances of inflation being above or below the target are broadly equal,” King told reporters today. “The recovery is unlikely to be smooth.”
Sterling is still up 2.8% against the dollar this year as accelerating inflation has spurred speculation policy makers will be forced to raise borrowing costs.
A U.K. report yesterday showed consumer prices rose an annual 4% last month, the fastest since November 2008 and twice the central bank’s 2% target. Data today showed British unemployment claims unexpectedly rose in January.

An Australian index of leading indicators increased in December as the economy expanded before flooding struck the nation’s northeast. The index rose 0.8% from a month earlier. The index grew at an annual rate of 4.2% in December, accelerating from 3.6% in November.

EUR/USD printed session lows on $1.3570, but it failed to hold higher. As a result rate fell to support at $1.3500.

GBP/USD sharply fell down from $1.6186 to the lows around $1.6146 after BoE inflation report. Later rate recovered to $1.6176, but sales dragged the pound down to earlier lows.

EU focus: Sterling fell after BoE report

Sterling extended its losses to $1.6050 following the dovish BOE report.
Earlier the pound gained as rising UK inflation cemented expectations of an early rate hike. But Mervyn King whittled those expectations when he said that no decision made on Mar rate decision and people running ahead of themselves on rate hikes.
Sterling rallied to a 5-½ month peak against a currency basket after data showing UK inflation jumped to twice the Bank of England's target.
Meanwhile, money markets have already priced in three rate hikes by the end of the year.

The dollar held firm against the yen, after rising steadily in the past nine sessions.
"USD/JPY took out resistance at Y83.68, and one now starts to look at levels such as Y84.51 and even the 200-dma is coming into focus at Y85.14. However, there is a lot of ground to cover between here and there," said David Watt, a strategist at RBC Capital Markets.

Stocks: Tuesday's review

Japan's Nikkei stock average edged up to log a 10-month closing high on Tuesday after Chinese inflation data helped ease concerns that the country will have to tighten monetary policy more aggressively.
It was a second straight day of gains for the Nikkei, which has climbed some 17 percent since November when foreigners began snapping up lagging Tokyo stocks, with recent momentum coming from a big shift in market focus to developed economies from emerging ones.
Also on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan raised its assessment of the economy to say it is gradually emerging from a slowdown, further signalling that no imminent monetary easing is on the horizon. It kept rates steady as widely expected.
Notable gainers included shares of Japan's No. 3 mobile phone operator Softbank Corp, which jumped on an agreement to partner with China Mobile, Vodafone (VOD.L) and others to promote a next generation standard.

European stocks rose for a third day, sending the Stoxx Europe 600 Index to its highest level since September 2008, as companies from Barclays Plc to Danone posted results that beat analysts’ estimates.
Barclays, Britain’s third-largest bank, climbed 5.8 percent. UniCredit SpA led Italian stocks higher. Danone, the world’s biggest yogurt maker, advanced 3.3 percent. Deutsche Boerse AG fell as the exchange operator agreed to combine with NYSE Euronext. Rio Tinto Group, the third-largest mining company, paced mining stocks lower.
Deutsche Boerse AG lost 2.4 percent to 59.85 euros. The operator of the Frankfurt bourse and NYSE Euronext said they will combine, creating the world’s largest owner of equities and derivatives markets. London Stock Exchange Group Plc, which last week agreed to buy Canada’s TMX Group Inc., slid 3.2 percent to 900 pence.
Rio Tinto fell 2.8 percent to 4,550 pence. Kazakhmys Plc, Kazakhstan’s biggest copper miner, lost 2.6 percent to 1,538 pence. A gauge of basic-resource companies on the Stoxx 600 slipped 1.8 percent, the worst performance out of 19 industry groups.

U.S. stocks retreated, as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index slumped from a 32-month high, after reports showed retail sales increased less than forecast last month and prices of imported goods climbed.
Exxon Mobil Corp. dropped 1.9 percent, leading the declines in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Monsanto Co. slid 3.3 percent as billionaire investor George Soros’s hedge fund cut its stake in the world’s largest seed company. JDS Uniphase Corp., the biggest network-analysis company in the U.S., and Netflix Inc., a DVD-rental company, decreased at least 3.2 percent after their stock recommendations were cut.
The S&P 500 gained 97 percent from a 12-year low in March 2009 through yesterday amid government stimulus measures and higher-than-estimated corporate profits. The advance has pushed the S&P 500 to 15.9 times the reported operating earnings of its companies on Feb. 11, the highest valuation since June. Earnings-per-share have topped analysts’ estimates at about 73 percent of the 359 companies in the S&P 500 that reported results since Jan. 10.
