U.S. equities
Most
U.S. stocks advanced as a rally in energy shares overshadowed concern the Federal Reserve will raise borrowing costs to slow inflation.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. jumped 6.3 % and led gains in 32 of 39 energy producers in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index as crude climbed more than USD 1 a barrel.


USD at six month high
The dollar rose to a six-month high of 1.4570 against the euro on speculation the greenback will be the main beneficiary of a global
economic slowdown as German business confidence dropped in August more than forecast.
The minutes from the latest FOMC meeting showed that the Federal Reserve policy makers agreed this month that their next change in interest rates will be to raise them, while reaching no conclusion on the timing of such a decision.

German IFO Pummels Euro, Boosts Dollar | ForexGen






U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) gained again during the Asian session this time lead by the Antipodean currencies AUD and NZD. Weak EU data allowed new multimonth highs against most currencies except the Yen which outperformed as banking worries continued. Gains in Oil as a hurricane formed off the Gulf Coast pared some of USD gains. US data was mixed with a rise in CB Consumer Confidence to 56.9(53 Expected) for August being offset by a fall in New Home Sales for July to 515K (530K expected). FOMC minutes from last Fed meeting also released but offered little new to the debate over future rate movements. In the U.S. share markets, the NASDAQ was down 3 points (-0.15%) and the Dow Jones was up 26 points (0.23%). Crude Oil closed up $1.16 ending the New York session at $116.27 per barrel. Looking ahead, July Durable Goods Orders are seen at -0.5% vs. 2% in June. US Crude Inventories are expected to build .9M Barrels.




The Euro (EUR) was on a weak footing as USD strengthened broadly before being knocked lower on weaker than expected data. GFK Consumer Confidence dropped to 1.5 in September vs. 2 expected and Q2 German GDP was confirmed at -0.5%. The big market mover was August IFO Index which fell more than expected to 94.8 vs. the 97.1
forecast. The Euro broke through support at 1.4600 before a rally in Oil allowed some relief. Overall the EUR/USD traded with a low of 1.4570 and a high of 1.4760 before closing the day at 1.4650 in the New York session. Looking ahead, German Import Prices are expected to rise 0.5% in July.




The Japanese Yen (JPY) one of the only currencies to stand up to USD strength gaining against most
currencies especially the EUR/JPY which took out option barriers at 160. Ongoing unwinding of carry trades supported gains. Overall the USDJPY traded with a low of 109.14 and a high of 109.94 before closing the day around 109.60 in the New York session.

Forex Exchange Morning Report With ForexGen


News And Views

USD surged on poor German data but trimmed its gains thereafter as oil prices rose and US data were mixed. While US Aug consumer confidence beat consensus, the -15.9% y/y print on June house prices was near expectations and the 515K for new home sales weaker than forecast. NYMEX crude oil dipped below $113/bbl at one point but rallied to sit around $116/bbl in late NY as oil workers began to be evacuated from the Gulf of Mexico as Hurricane Gustav builds strength. US equities posted minimal gains. The New Zealand dollar largely ignored broad USD movement, chopping around 0.6900/40 in London before rallying above 0.6970 on macro account buying.


AUD/USD lost about 25 pips in IFO-related collateral damage but was about flat in the end, sitting at 0.8550 near the NY close.


EUR/USD sank a full cent to 1.4600 on Germany's Aug IFO survey of business sentiment sank to 94.8 from 97.5 vs consensus of 97.2. Buyers emerged below 1.4600 however (low 1.4570) as the pair recovered to 1.4540/50.


USD/JPY was little changed overall at 109.60 late NY but did see a short-lived dip to 109.15.
The minutes of the 5 Aug FOMC meeting showed that members generally agreed that the next move in interest rates would be up, but the timing would depend on
economic and financial market developments. As noted in the 5 Aug statement, there was 'significant concern' about inflation, with some members concerned that 'core' inflation may not moderate in 2009 as hoped. However, many officials were also concerned about the potential for more market turmoil, especially in light of the mortgage agencies' recent woes. The statement points to more tough talk on inflation from the Fed, but no action in the near future.
