EUR/USD breaks lower – lowest in 6 weeks – 4 reasons


EUR/USD finally broke out of range, and it is to the downside: the pair is now trading at 1.2822, falling below the previous lows of 1.2842.
The move came on top of no particular fresh news, but the euro certainly has reasons to fall. Here are 4 reasons and the next lines:
EUR/USD is at the lowest levels since the beginning of April. Support is found at 1.2805, which was the bottom of the wide 1.2805 – 1.3170 range.
Further support is at 1.2750, which is minor. A more serious line of support appears at 1.2624, which was the January 2012 low.
Reasons for the euro to fall:
  1. Talk that ECB is checking negative rates: According to re-run of a report already seen in the markets, the ECB is checking with banks about the possibility of introducing a negative deposit rate. This weighed on the euro earlier, but didn’t push it to new lows. The break happened now.
  2. German ECB member expressing worries about Germany: Asumussen warned that Germany could be the sick man of Europe once again, if it doesn’t make reforms.
  3. Lower euro talk: VP of European Commission saying that the ECB should manage the euro lower. He said it yesterday, and it triggered a limited market response.
  4. Weak GDP numbers in the euro-zoneGermany grew by only 0.1% and the euro-zone is already in the third quarter of a recession, with Q1 contraction standing at 0.2%, worse than expected.

U.S stocks rise for fourth week on sentiment data; Dow gains 0.80%


U.S. stocks rose on Friday, ending higher for a fourth consecutive week after a consumer sentiment barometer beat expectations.

At the close of U.S. trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 0.80%, the S&P 500 index ended up 0.95%, while the Nasdaq Composite index rose 0.97%.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index rose to 83.7 in May from 76.4 in April, surging past expectations for a rise to 78.0. 

The University of Michigan also said its inflation expectations for this month remained unchanged at 3.1%.

The news sent stocks wiping out losses stemming from comments from Federal Reserve officials, who signaled that stimulus programs won't stick around longer due to disappointing economic indicators.

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams said Thursday that monetary authorities may begin to unwind stimulus programs this summer and possibly end such policies by year end.

Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, a known inflation hawk, added separately that the Fed should consider scaling back the program next month.

The Fed is currently buying USD85 billion in assets from banks a month, a monetary stimulus tool known as quantitative easing that weakens the greenback and floods the economy with liquidity to spur recovery and job demand.

Stocks rise as a side effect to such policies

Leading Dow Jones Industrial Average performers included JPMorgan Chase, up 2.57%, Boeing, up 2.40%, and United Technologies, up 2.34%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average's worst performers included Pfizer, down 0.96%, Wal-Mart, down 0.90%, and Merck, down 0.82%.

European indices, meanwhile, finished higher.

After the close of European trade, the EURO STOXX 50 rose 0.40%, France's CAC 40 rose 0.56%, while Germany's DAX 30 finished up 0.34%. Meanwhile, in the U.K. the FTSE 100 finished up 0.53%.

Forex - EUR/USD drops on surging U.S. consumer confidence data

The euro dropped against the dollar on Friday after a widely watched consumer sentiment barometer blew past expectations.

In U.S. trading on Friday, EUR/USD was down 0.40% at 1.2831, up from a session low of 1.2796 and off from a high of 1.2890.

The pair was likely to find support at 1.2796, the earlier low, and resistance at 1.3029, Tuesday's high.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index rose to 83.7 in May from 76.4 in April, surging past expectations for a rise to 78.0. 

The University of Michigan also said its inflation expectations for this month remained unchanged at 3.1%.

The numbers came a day after Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams  said that monetary authorities may begin to unwind stimulus programs this summer and possibly end such policies by year end.

Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, a known inflation hawk, added separately that the Fed should consider scaling back the program next month.

Monetary stimulus tools, such as low interest rates, dovish language and the Fed's monthly USD85 billion asset-purchasing program, weaken the dollar to spur recovery.

Weak industrial output, inflation data and other economic indicators had many investors betting in recent sessions that the Fed may prolong dismantling stimulus programs, which pressured the dollar lower until Friday's data broke.

The euro, meanwhile, was up against the pound and down against the yen, with EUR/GBP trading up 0.15% at 0.8448, and EUR/JPY trading up 0.23% at 132.04.
