American focus: yen fell against all its major counterparts

 

The yen fell against all its major counterparts after China cut its key interest rates for the first time since 2008, damping appetite for refuge assets. China’s benchmark one-year deposit rate will drop by 0.25 percentage point effective tomorrow, the People’s Bank of China said on its website. The one-year lending rate will also be cut by 0.25 percentage point, it said.

The Dollar Index pared losses as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke refrained from signaling additional steps the central bank might take to spur growth, during congressional testimony. Bernanke said the economy is at risk from Europe’s debt crisis and the prospect of fiscal tightening in the U.S., while not signaling additional monetary easing.

The euro earlier touched to a two-week high versus the dollar earlier as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the nation is ready to back euro-area financial instruments.

The pound strengthened to a one-week high against the dollar and gilts fell after the Bank of England kept its stimulus program unchanged and China cut borrowing costs to boost growth. Sterling rose versus all except one of its 16 major counterparts after a report showed U.K. services grew more in May than analysts forecast. Policy makers held the bond-purchase program at 325 billion pounds ($505 billion) and their benchmark rate at a record-low 0.5 percent.

    deceleration in employment in recent months may indicate that this (jobs) catch-up has largely been completed, and, consequently, that more rapid gains in economic activity will be required to achieve significant further improvement in labor market conditions;

     

  • economic growth appears poised to continue at a moderate pace over coming quarters, supported in part by accommodative monetary policy.

Forex: Wednesday’s review

 


Yesterday the
euro rose for a fourth day against the yen as European Central Bank president Mario Draghi said policy makers were “ready to act” after leaving their benchmark rate at a record low. The ECB’s Draghi told a press conference in Frankfurt that officials will extend their offerings of unlimited cash to banks until the start of 2013 for periods up to three months as they endeavor to counter risks stemming from the region’s debt crisis.

The 17-nation euro strengthened to almost a one-week high against the dollar amid speculation the world’s leading economies will collaborate on a response to Europe’s debt crisis.

The dollar and yen fell against most of their major counterparts amid reduced demand for safer assets.

Australia’s dollar rose as the nation’s economic growth exceeded forecasts and investors sought higher-yielding currencies. The Australian economy expanded 1.3 percent in the first three months of this year from the fourth quarter, the Bureau of Statistics said. That’s the fastest pace since the period ended June last year.


EUR/USD: yesterday the pair gain on a figure, updated a week’s high.

GBP/USD: yesterday the pair gain on a figure to $1.5500.

USD/JPY: yesterday the pair gain on a floor of a figure, fixed above Y79.00.
