Euro Extends Weakness on Worry Orderly Greece DefaultEuro tumbles further as the week starts on Greece worry while risk assets follow, sending dollar and yen higher broadly. Over the weekend, Greece announced imposition of a new property tax policy on top of existing measures. The new system would mean a levy of 4 euro/sq meter over the next 2 years and is expected to raise around 400B euro. In addition, officials will be subject salary cut by a month. The measured are aiming at meeting the country's deficit targets of EUR 17.1b in 2011 and EUR 14.9b in 2012, with a EUR 2b short fall this year exacerbated by worse than expected recession.

China Watch: Moderation in Inflation not Strong Enough to Trigger Monetary EasingModeration of headline CPI to +6.2% y/y in August from +6.5% in the prior month signaled that inflation in China probably peaked in July. Yet, price levels remained elevated and it would be premature to expect China will abandon tightening or even shift to easing monetary policy. Growth of industrial production and fixed asset investment and retail sales decelerated further in August as a result of government's tightening measures.

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3710Despite intra-day selloff to 1.3495 in part due to selloff in EUR/JPY, as the single currency has rebounded from there, suggesting minor consolidation above this level would take place and retracement to 1.3660/65 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3937-1.3495) is likely, however, renewed selling interest should emerge below 1.3712-16 (current level of the Kijun-Sen and 50% Fibonacci retracement) and bring another decline later. A break of said support would extend recent downtrend towards 1.3450/55Read more... Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Buy at 76.55Despite last week’s rise to 77.86, the subsequent retreat has retained our view that near term downside risk remains for another retreat to 76.72, however, as broad outlook remains consolidative, price should stay above support at 76.42 and bring another leg of upmove later. Above 77.60/65 would suggest the retreat from 77.86 has ended and bring a retest of said resistance and later towards 78.00/05 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 88.12-75.94)Read more...
