Weekly Currency Wrap-up
By Darrell Jobman
By Darrell Jobman
Risk aversion levels remained a very important factor during the week and the yen’s movements were correlated strongly with global stock prices.
The latest capital account data recorded a second successive weekly withdrawal of funds from the Japanese market while Japanese investors were more willing to invest overseas despite pressure for year-end capital repatriation.
The yen strengthened to highs around 115.80 against the dollar and, after the US currency strengthened back to 117.75 on a Wall Street recovery, there were renewed yen gains as dollar sentiment deteriorated.
Sterling was volatile during the week and the currency was strongly influenced by the developments in carry trades. The UK currency was subjected to further sharp selling pressure against the yen which pushed Sterling down generally before the currency secured an equally strong recovery.
The latest data recorded a further small decline in unemployment with the claimant count dropping by a further 3,800 in February. The headline earnings growth rose to 4.2% from 4.0%, but the underlying increase was held to 3.6% from 3.8% previously.
The UK trade deficit was lower than expected with a decline in the January deficit to GBP6.2bn from GBP7.0bn the previous month as there was a decline in imports.
Sterling weakened to lows near 0.6870 against the Euro and also dipped to near 1.92 against the dollar before recovering strongly back to highs near 1.95 as the US currency stumbled late in the week.
Swiss currency moves were correlated strongly with global stock price moves with the franc strengthening significantly when equity markets were subjected to selling pressure.
The National Bank increased interest rates to 0.25% to 2.25% following the latest policy meeting, the fifth successive increase. The bank stated that it would continue with policy normalization and markets took this to mean that the bank would increase rates again in June.
The Swiss currency gained support in mid week from a renewed sharp decline in global stock prices. There was a corrective retreat, but the franc strengthened again on Friday and broke dollar support near the 1.21 level with highs near 1.2030.
The Australian dollar was damaged briefly by global stock market declines, but the currency proved to be generally resilient as investor sentiment held firm and there was a firm 22,000 February employment increase.
The Australian dollar found support close to 0.78 against the US currency and recovered back to above 0.7950 on Friday, matching the levels seen in late February.
