In the press conference, Trichet noted that the economy economic is facing "particularly high uncertainty and intensified downside risks" even though the bank is still expecting economy to grow "moderately". Regarding inflation, ECB now judges risks for inflation as "balanced" rather than having and upward risk. ECB staff growth projection is lowered to 1.4-1.8% this year, down from prior projection of 1.5-2.5%. For 2012, growth projection is lowed to 0.4-2.2%, down from prior projection of 0.6-2.8%.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.4030

The single currency slipped on dovish comments by ECB’s Trichet and a retest of this week’s low of 1.3972 is likely, break there is needed to extend recent decline from 1.4550 to 1.3950 and later 1.3920/25, however, loss of near term momentum should limit downside to 1.3900 and reckon 1.3850 would hold from here and bring rebound later.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Buy at 108.30

Although the single currency retreated after this week’s rebound from 107.80 to 109.95, as long as said support holds, further consolidation would take place with mild upside bias for another rebound and breach of said resistance at 109.95 would add credence to our view that the 2nd c leg of B has possibly ended at 107.80, bring further gain to 110.23 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 114.16-107.80), then 110.95/00
