At 1330GMT, the Jobless Claimsnumbers for the Jan 26 week will cross the wires.
Also due at 1330GMT is the December PCE Price Index and the Q4 Employment Cost
Index.
The level of initial claims is expected to rise 30,000 to 360,000 in the January
26 holiday week after falling by 5,000 in the previous week. Seasonal adjustment
difficulties are common in January due to sharp fluctuations in the unadjusted
data and the presence of the New Years and MLK holiday, resulting in seasonally
adjusted movements that can be unexpected, such as in the January 19 week.
Still, it appears that there has been some improvement in claims over the last
year, when the hurricane-related blip in early November is discarded.
Personal income is expected to rise 1.0% in December. Nonfarm payrolls rose by
155,000, while the average workweek rose to 34.5 hours and hourly earnings
posted a 0.3% increase. Nominal PCE is expected to rise 0.3% in month. Retail
sales were up 0.5% in December, with sales excluding motor vehicles rose 0.3%.

after a 0.4% rise in the previous quarter.

the bill would to go directly to President Barack Obama for his signature. If
the Senate were to amend the House bill it would have to go back to the House
for further consideration.
EURO-DOLLAR: Closed in NY at $1.3565, having seen post FOMC extended highs of
$1.3588. Rate marked lows into early Asia at $1.3562 before it settled around
$1.3570 through the balance of the Asian morning. Late session buying sees rate
mark session highs at $1.3584 into Europe with traders aware of offers placed
from that NY high at $1.3587 and extending toward reported barrier interest at
$1.3600. A break here to expose next barrier at $1.3625, with Asian traders
noting that stops are seen from $1.3615 through to $1.3655. Support seen into
$1.3560 ahead of $1.3535/30. German retail sales data at 0700GMT to provide the
early interest, followed by SNB reserve data, with traders looking to see if the
Bank has increased/decreased percentage holdings of euro (last 48%). Germany
employment and inflation due at 0855GMT and 1300GMT respectively. US personal
income/PCE due at 1330GMT ahead of the Chicago Report at 1445GMT. Last day of
January with models suggesting dollar sales to be seen at fixes.
EURO-DOLLAR: Release of disappointing Germany retail sales, showing -1.7% on the
month vs expectations of -0.10%, sees minimal react on release, though market
had been seen adjusting positions for a poor release, euro-dollar dropping back
from $1.3584 early Europe highs to $1.3551, with rate holding steady around
$1.3555 as any initial react sales were soaked up by profit take demand.
However, sellers eventually overcome demand with rate extending its pullback to
$1.3547, though struggling to make a clear break below $1.3550. Next support
seen at $1.3535/30.
CABLE: Closed in NY at $1.5797, the rate having seen extended recovery highs of
$1.5817 as the dollar came under pressure post FOMC announcement, dipping back
to $1.5790 ahead of the close. Rate slipped back to $1.5792 in early Asia, with
recovery attempts countered around $1.5805 through the Asian morning before rate
managed to step its way through the NY high and on to $1.5826 ahead of the
European open. Move hits the recently mentioned short term target at $1.5820,
with rate now seen meeting resistance from those that had been looking to short
any rally extension into $1.5820/40. Rate trades around $1.5813 into Europe.
Euro-sterling, which had seen extended highs of stg0.86065 Tuesday consolidated
this move between stg0.8577/92 after closing the NY session at stg0.8586.
Nationwide house prices the early domestic interest at 0700GMT, with some
attention expected on SNB reserve data at 0800GMT to what percentage it holds in
sterling. Cable offers to $1.5840, more 1.5850/55 ahead of $1.5870. Support
$1.5790/85, with stops sub $1.5780. A break opens a deeper move toward
$1.5765/60. Ongoing dividend related demand for sterling at fixes, as well as a
general dollar sell signal could offset any residual euro-sterling demand.
YEN: Dollar-yen closed in NY at Y91.09, edging up in early Asia to mark highs at
Y91.15 before Tokyo opened and sold into the move. Rate continued its corrective
pullback away from Wednesday's highs of Y91.41, pressing down to Y90.75 before
settling between Y90.85/91.00 into Europe. Focus today on option maturities at
the NY cut, the market having been told in recent days that strikes from Y90.00
through to Y91.50 hold some large interest, which have been anchoring the rate.
Once these are out of the way rate to have potential to break out of this recent
range, especially with US jobs data looming on the horizon Friday. Large option
barrier interest remains in place at Y91.50. Euro-yen closed in NY at Y123.36,
touched an early high into Asia at Y123.72 before Tokyo sold back into the rally
at their open, taking the rate to Y123.08 into Europe after an attempted
recovery off Y123.13 faltered into Y123.60.
GOLD: Spot gold prices are trading mildly positive Thursday, extending
their gains from the previous day. Spot gold ended Thursday's session up

its purchasing of securities at the rate of $85bln a month. Gold prices
were also supported by US data that showed US GDP contracted in the
fourth quarter of 2012. This morning, spot gold prices have been pinned
in a narrow trading range after yesterday's gains, edging their way
higher from initial intra-day lows of $1675.13/oz to highs of around
$1680.70/oz and now trade just above unchanged levels at $1677.30/oz, up
$0.25 on the session.
OIL: March NYMEX WTI prices are trading marginally lower Thursday after
racking up some more gains during the previous session. NYMEX March
light sweet crude oil futures settled up $0.37 at $97.94 per barrel,
after trading in a $97.32 to $98.24 range. This is the highest close in
the front contract since September 14, 2012, when oil topped out at
$100.42 and closed at $99.00. WTI prices have been tied to a narrow
range so far this morning, paring back from a high of $98.04 to trade on
session lows of $97.78 a few moments ago. In terms of supply, data
published yesterday by the Energy Department showed that US crude oil
inventories jumped by 5.95mln barrels in the week to January 25th.
Analysts had forecast a 2.6mln barrel crude build. March WTI futures now
trade at $97.79 a barrel, down 15 cents on the session.

levels Thursday after posting their first gain in seven sessions the
previous day. March natural gas prices ended Thursday's session up 7.7

after trading in a $3.261 to $3.344 range. The front month contract had
previously shed 9.5% during the previous six sessions. Focus now turns
to today's EIA natural gas storage data, due to be published later today
at 1530GMT, with analysts expecting the report to reveal a fall of gas
inventories last week to around 207bln cubic feet (c/f), well above the
average decline for this time of year. March natural gas prices have now
turned marginally lower after an initial high of $3.351 per mln Btu, and
now trade on intra-day lows of $3.322 per mln Btu.

Przeczytanie powyższej wypowiedz może doprowadzić do błędnej oceny sytuacji, spowodować przecenienie własnych możliwości, czego konsekwencją mogą być błędnie podjęte decyzje. Ofiarami mogą paść początkujący jak i doświadczeni inwestorzy. Tak myślę!

hmmmm, a nie pomyśleliście że Europie nie podoba się takie silne Euro w stosunku do USD?
Mi się wydaje że jakiś bank sprzedaje Euro. ;-)
Żeby stworzyć konkurencyjną gospodarkę o czym mówiła A.Merkel w Davos to dla krajów południa Euro powinno być 30% tańsze czyli poniżej parytetu do dolara.......witam Panie i Panów...
