Mid-Day Report: Dollar Recovers on Bullard's Comment, Yen Broadly Lower

Dollar is firmer today as again lifted by hawkish comments from St. Louis Fed Bullard. Bullard said that normalization of monetary policy will be a key issue for Fed this year but Fed "may not be willing or able to wait until all global uncertainties are resolved to begin normalizing policy." And, while normalization begins, Fed would still leave "unprecedented policy accommodation on the table." This is in contrast to comments from Chicago Fed Evans, who noted that completion of the USD 600b QE2 program in June is "just about the right number" and suggested Fed will "continue to have a high amount of accommodation" after that. Also, the greenback is supported as this week's retreat in crude oil and gold continues.

Featured Technical Report

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 81.37; (P) 81.61; (R1) 81.91; More.

USD/JPY breaks 81.95 minor resistance and resumes rebound from 76.40 today. Intraday bias is back on the upside for 83.28 resistance first. After all, focus remains on 84.49 key resistance. As long as 84.49 holds, here is no indication of trend reversal and hence, we'd still mildly favor an eventual downside break out. On the downside, below 81.55 minor support will flip bias to the downside for 80.50 support and below.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Buy at 1.0115

As the Australian dollar has retreated after rising to 1.0315 yesterday, suggesting a minor top has been formed and consolidation below this level would take place with mild downside bias for retracement to 1.0190/00, however, renewed buying interest should emerge around 1.0110/15 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9781 to 1.0315) and bring another upmove.
