European session: The yen fell for an eighth day against the dollar

 

 

The yen fell for an eighth day against the dollar, the longest streak in seven years, as a report showing Japan’s exports fell the most since the 2011 earthquake fueled bets the central bank will add more stimulus.

Japanese exports slid 10.3 percent in September from a year earlier, leaving a trade deficit of 558.6 billion yen, the Finance Ministry said in Tokyo. The median forecast was for a 9.9 percent decline. The decline was the most since May 2011, two months after a magnitude-9 quake struck northeastern Japan, triggering a tsunami and a nuclear disaster.

Japan’s currency dropped at least 0.6 percent versus all 16 of its major counterparts after Economy Minister Seiji Maehara pressed the Bank of Japan yesterday for more action to boost the economy.

The euro rose after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy extended an electoral majority in his home region of Galicia, vindicating the government’s austerity program. Furthermore, little support for common European currency was from the statements made at the weekend the Minister of Finance of Greece. He noted that the country has fulfilled 90% of what was to be done to get the tranche in the amount of E31.5 billion, and if it recognizes the Troika, much needed money Greece will receive.

Forex: Friday’s review

 

 

Yesterday the euro declined for a second day against the dollar after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said his nation doesn’t feel under any pressure to ask for a bailout, fueling concern the debt crisis will be prolonged. Rajoy said at an EU summit in Brussels that has made "significant progress" and showed the EU that will meet their obligations. He also said that his government will decide on the assistance based on the interests of Spain.

The 17-nation currency dropped for the first time in seven days versus the yen on speculation this week’s European Union summit in Brussels will fail to provide clarity on potential financial aid for Spain and the allocation of the next tranche of Greece.

At the same time, at the summit, it was decided to create a European system of banking supervision in 2013. Germany managed to convince the EU summit to delay the creation of a European system of banking supervision. The Heads of State and Government decided to implement the plan "for 2013." Previously, several countries insisted on establishing control on January 1 next year. Diplomatic sources say that banking supervision will be operational in early 2014 and spread to all of the 6,000 banks in the euro zone. The European Central Bank (ECB) will always give national regulatory authorities on the audit assignment of individual banks. However, if necessary, the ECB could itself supervise.

The pound gained against the euro after the U.K. budget deficit narrowed. In the UK in September, net debt of the public sector amounted to 10,732 billion pounds compared with an expected 11.0 billion pounds.

Canada’s dollar weakened to an eight-week low against its U.S. counterpart after September consumer prices data trailed forecasts. In September, the annual inflation rate in Canada remained at the previous level of 1.2%, leaving the Bank of Canada is less than the arguments in favor of maintaining the upward sentiment against interest rate decision which will be announced next Tuesday.

The yen traded 0.2 percent from a two-month low after data showed Japan’s exports fell the most since the aftermath of last year’s record earthquake, adding to pressure on the central bank to expand monetary easing. Japan’s shipments slid 10.3 percent in September from a year earlier, leaving a trade deficit of 558.6 billion yen ($7 billion), the Finance Ministry said in Tokyo today. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of analysts was for a 9.9 percent export decline. The drop was the most since May 2011, two months after a magnitude-9 quake struck Japan’s northeast, triggering a tsunami and a nuclear disaster that led to the shuttering of most of the nation’s reactors.

The Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to track the greenback against currencies of six U.S. trading partners, maintained a two-day advance after declines in stocks globally increased the allure of haven assets.

Demand for the euro was limited amid signs the region’s debt crisis is weighing on growth. Data tomorrow will probably show an index of consumer confidence was at minus 25.9 in October, unchanged from the previous month and the lowest since May 2009, according to economists in a Bloomberg poll.

Leaders at a European Union summit in Brussels last week committed to agreeing by year end on legislative framework for single bank supervisory mechanism, a deal that Moody’s Investors Service said is credit negative for weaker nations. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said after the event he’s not facing pressure to seek a bailout, prolonging speculation about whether the nation will tap rescue funds.
