Euro Rebounds on Risk Appetite as Global Equity Markets Recover

Most currency pairs remained confined within near term established ranges except EUR/USD as the pair rebounded partly due to the recovery in European stock markets (STOXX 50, FTSE 100 and DAX are all in positive territory with 1.6%-2.4% rise, Dow futures also up over 150 points pre-opening). On the other hand, speculation that U.S. may announce more monetary easing measures later this week in order to support the soft U.S. economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak later this week at the central bank's annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this Friday, investors are betting the chairman will signal his willingness to implement more economic stimulus measures, probably 3rd round of quantitative easing (QE3).

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6585

Cable’s retreat after last week’s resumption of upmove to 1.6618 suggests a temporary top has been formed there and consolidation with downside bias is seen for test of Friday’s low of 1.6444, however, break of previous support at 1.6421 is needed to add credence to this view, bring retracement to 1.6400 and eventually towards 1.6350 but support at 1.6323 should remain intact.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.7800

Although the greenback has rebounded after falling last Friday to 0.7807 and further consolidation would continue, as long as the Ichimoku cloud (now at 0.7918) holds, near term downside risk remains for the corrective fall from 0.8020 to bring marginal weakness below said support. Having said that, downside should be limited to 0.7784 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 0.7548-0.8020) and support at 0.7770 should hold, bring another rebound later.
