Weighed By Uncertainties In The Eurozone, Euro To Edge Lower For A Fourth Straight Session Versus Dollar

The Euro dropped versus its American counterpart on Tuesday amidst rising concerns over Concerns about a Greek bailout, early Italian elections and comments by the European Central Bank governor that reiterated the need for “substantial” stimulus.

The single currency, which was on course for dropping for a fourth straight session, fell 0.4 percent to trade at 1.1125 against the dollar on Tuesday – the lowest level since May 19th. The Euro was weighed down partly due to Greece’s financial situation concerning a deal on debt relief measures.

Greece’s finance minister on Monday said that the deal should be reached at the next meeting of euro zone finance ministers in June in order to help the country return to bond markets.

In Italia, former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Sunday stated that Italy’s next election should be held at the same time as Germany’s which is scheduled for September. The comments pulled the euro lower as it led to a selloff in Italian government debt on Monday.

Adding to downward pressure on the Euro, ECB President Mario Draghi repeated the need for “substantial” stimulus amid subdued inflation.

Later in the day, the Euro zone is scheduled to release data on German Prelim CPI while the U.S. is to report on personal income and expenditure along with data on consumer confidence for April, which are all predicted to advance compared to the previous month on a monthly basis.

According to market sources, Libya has already shipped out an average of 500,000 bpd of crude oil so far this year, which is nearly as twice as 300,000 bpd shipped on average in 2016.

Meanwhile, official data from the Energy Information Administration will be released on Thursday. Both come out one day later than usual due to a holiday on Monday.

Mounting Output From Libya Weighs Down Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures prices edged lower on Wednesday, falling for a third session in a row amidst concerns over rising output from Libya which came on the heels of increasing U.S. production.

Brent crude futures lost more than 0.4 percent in Asian trading session compared to their last close to trade around $51.61 per barrel.

Libya’s mounting crude oil output, couple with soaring shale oil production in the U.S., undermined OPEC-led production cuts aimed at wiping out the current crude oil global glut.

Later on Wednesday, the American Petroleum Institute (API) is scheduled to publish its estimates of U.S. crude and refined product inventories. Meanwhile, official data from the Energy Information Administration will be released on Thursday. Both come out one day later than usual due to a holiday on Monday.

Daily Report on June 02, 2017 by Option Banque

Asian share jumped to their best levels in more than two years on Friday after U.S. stock benchmark indices closed at all-time highs in Thursday session. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan climbed 0.6 percent, led by gains in equities of Japan and South Korea. Indeed, Japan’s Topix index rose 1 percent while the Nikkei 225 advanced by 1.2 percent.

By contrast, the Shanghai Composite declines for a second day, losing 0.1 percent.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index and South Korea’s Kospi index found them on a strong uptrend with each adding at least 0.8 percent. Up moves in global stocks and the U.S. dollar were boosted by larger-than-expected private American hiring data. The dollar held on gains after ADP reported private payrolls grew by 253,000 last month. The result comfortably beat analysts' median forecast of an 185,000 increase.

The nonfarm payrolls report is scheduled to come out on Friday, which is expected to show that the U.S. economy created 185,000 jobs last month.

Confidence in the world’s largest economy was bolstered further following the release of data on U.S. factory activity. The Institute for Supply Management reported its barometer for domestic manufacturing activity jumped to 54.9 last month from 54.8 in April. Economists had expected a rise to 52.8.

Crude oil prices weakened on Friday

WTI crude oil dropped 0.5 percent after adding 0.1 percent in the previous session. It’s on course to fall 3.4 percent this week. Oil prices dropped nearly 1 percent in early Asian trade on Friday, dragged down by ongoing concerns over a global glut in crude supply despite a bigger-than-expected draw in U.S. crude inventories.

Crude stockpiles were down to 6.4 million barrels in the week to May 26, beating analyst expectations for a decrease of 2.5 million barrels.

Although a sharp fall of U.S. crude inventories could be seen as a supportive factor to oil prices, U.S. crude production rose to 9.35 million bpd last week, up nearly 500,000 bpd from a year ago.

USDCAD trade idea by Option Banque

Canadian Dollar Loses Ground Against the Greenback As Oil Slumps

Canadian dollar dropped steeply versus its American counterpart in U.S. trading session on Wednesday following a weekly report that showed a large rise in U.S. inventories of the commodity.

The currency pair USDCAD soared nearly 5 percent to trade around 1.35200 after data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicated that domestic crude supplies soared 3.3 million barrels last week.

The unexpected rise in U.S. crude oil stockpiles in the week ended June 2nd marked the first advance in the last nine weeks and contrasted with analysts’ forecast calling for a drop of 3.1 million barrels. The sharp rise raised concerns over U.S. domestic crude production that may surge to a record level next year, contributing to losses for oil.

As oil exports comprise a big part of Canadian economy, the Loonie tend to drop when oil prices edge lower.

Meanwhile, the greenback remained weak ahead of a big day on Thursday when the calendar features both highly-awaited political and economic events.

The currency pair AUDUSD added more than 0.4 percent in Asian morning session on Wednesday to trade around 0.75400 – the highest level since May 03rd. The pair also extended its upward rally to a fourth day in a row after the Aussie was boosted higher by upbeat economic data.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) advanced by 0.3 percent in the three-month period to March in seasonally adjusted chain volume terms.

The growth rate in March quarter marked a sharply decline compared to the previous quarter, sending the annual pace of growth to the lowest level since late 2009. Indeed, year-on-year increase slowed to 1.7 percent – the weakest expansion rate since the third quarter of 2009.

Although the result was well below the 1.1% increase recorded in the first three months of the year, it beat analysts’ expectation calling for a rise of 0.2 percent.

Meanwhile, the dollar plunged to seven-month lows overnight as investors flocked into safe-haven assets ahead of a trio of risk events in the next 48 hours. On Thursday, the European Central Bank’s policy meeting, Britain’s general election and former FBI chief James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee will draw market attention and drive market sentiment.

Comey’s testimony is expected to keep the U.S. dollar under pressure as the fired FBI director will testify about Russia’s alleged involvement in the U.S election as well as U.S. President Donald Trump’s alleged attempt to halt an investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

As can be seen from the price chart, the pair is testing a firm resistance at 0.75400 – the level it had to give up its up moves and reverse lower five weeks ago. After having breached a significant level at 38.2% Fibonacci level on Monday, the price action continue to cross over both the long-term and short-term MAs from below, suggesting a strong bullish momentum in the market. RSI and ADX indices are rising higher, signalling further advances. A resistance at 23.6% Fibonacci level is within the sight.
