USD/JPY Mid-Day OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 80.90; (P) 81.28; (R1) 81.51; More. No change in USD/JPY's outlook. With 82.75 resistance intact, fall from 85.51 is still expected to continue towards 61.8% retracement of 76.40 to 85.51 at 79.88 and below. On the upside, though, break of 82.76 will indicate that fall from 85.51 has completed and would flip bias back for the upside for retesting this resistance instead. |

RBA To Leave Rates Unchanged. Revision In Growth And Inflation Forecasts ExpectedThe RBA will likely leave the cash rate unchanged at 4.75% on May 3 (Tuesday) despite accelerating inflationary pressures. Policymakers probably retain the view that the current monetary stance is 'mildly restrictive' and 'appropriate' given recent economic developments. Yet, rising inflation should trigger policymakers to resume tightening eventually. Another focus is the Monetary Policy Statement which will be released on Thursday. We expect to see modest downgrade on GDP growth forecasts but upward revision on inflation outlook. |

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Sell at 0.8750Dollar's rebound after holding above last week's low at 0.8626 and the doji with a relatively long lower shadow formed on the hourly chart suggest consolidation above there would take place and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 0.8712) is seen but the upper Kumo (now at 0.8752) should limit upside, bring another decline later. A break of said support would extend downtrend to 0.8600 Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Hold long entered at 1.4785Euro's rebound after intra-day fall to 1.4762 suggests the correction from last week's high at 1.4882 has possibly ended there and consolidation with upside bias remains for a retest of said resistance. Once this level is penetrated, this would confirm recent upmove has resumed and extend gain to 1.4900/05 (1.236 times projection of 1.4494-1.4715 measuring from 1.4630), however, 1.4988 (1.618 times projection) would limit upside Candlesticks Intraday Trade Ideas Update Schedule (GMT): Elliott Wave Daily Trade Ideas Update Schedule (GMT): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
