Daily Report: Markets Sentiments Hit Mildly by Strong China CPI

Markets sentiments is hit mildly earlier today after strong Chinese inflation data triggered concern of further tightening from China. Asian equities are generally lower but losses are limited so far. Yen strengthens mildly together with falling stocks and recent decline in yen crosses might continue as the day goes. Dollar also recovers mildly but strength is muted. The greenback would continue to face pressure from surging commodity prices with gold making another record high at 1480 and silver extends up trend through 42 level. Euro and swissy are both resilient and would likely remain strong against the greenback even though Moody's just downgraded Ireland's rating by two notches to Baa3 from Baa1 and issued a negative outlook.

GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 135.61; (P) 136.18; (R1) 137.08; More

GBP/JPY is consolidation around 4 hours 55 EMA for the moment but lacks buying for a meaning recovery. With 137.62 minor resistance intact, pull back from 139.99 is still in favor to extend further lower. But we'd continue to expect strong support above 132.95 resistance turned support to contain downside and bring rally resumption. Above 132.62 will flip bias back to the upside to retest 139.99 first. Break will target 50% retracement of 163.05 to 122.40 at 142.72 next.

China to Tighten Further as Inflation Remains Elevated

China's macroeconomic report revealed a robust economic environment despite government tightening. GDP expanded +9.7% y/y in 1Q11 while CPI jumped to +5.4%, the highest level in 32 months, in March. Asian stock markets declined after the report as investors worried that the government will accelerate tightening measures as inflation remains elevated. While we believe we should be cautious towards further tightening, we should not view it too pessimistically. Indeed, Premier Wen Jiao Bao warned earlier in the week about over-tightening while raising the tone on inflation fighting.

Although the single currency staged a strong rebound after forming a hammer candlestick bullish pattern on the hourly chart yesterday, as euro has retreated after faltering below yesterday's high at 1.4514, suggesting further consolidation would take place, however, the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.4439) should limit downside and bring another rise later.
