Muted Reaction to Obama's Job Proposal, Euro Continues Post ECB WeaknessUS President Obama unveiled his proposal to stimulate the US job markets overnight, but the financial markets had little reaction. Obama's USD 447b job proposal mainly targets tax cut and investments. While more details will be released on September 19, the measures include a tax-cut for small businesses if they hire new workers or raise workers; a 4000 tax credit if a company hires anyone who has spent more than 6 months looking for a job and extra tax credits if they hire America's veterans; a 1-year payroll tax cut; extension of unemployment insurance and assistance on refinancing homeowners' mortgages. Obama called for an end to the 'political circus' which he believed is the main reason for S&P's downgrade.Full Report Here... |    |

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Look to sell higherAlthough the single currency has fallen again overnight to as low as 1.3873, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 1.3850 and risk has increased for minor correction to the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3981), however, reckon the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.4080) would cap upside and bring another decline later.Read more... Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Buy at 76.55Although the greenback has rebounded from 77.14 yesterday, as long as indicated resistance at 77.74 holds, further consolidation would take place and downside risk is seen for a test of support at 77.07-14 and break there would bring weakness to 76.72 but renewed buying interest should emerge around support area at 76.42-53 and bring another rise later. A sustained breach of said resistance at 77.74 would extend the rise from 75.94 record low for a stronger retracement of recent downtrend to resistance at 77.86Read more...
