Thursday, December 19

Asad Rizvi



Finally FED has given its verdict in favour of reducing its asset purchases and did not succumbing to external or Dovish pressure, as it had decided to do away from extremely easy policy that was implemented in 2008 after the financial crisis. Some of the interesting points worth noting is that recently much talked about subject inflation, which is below the target level of 2 pct did not bother FED much, as it did mention in its text of the statement that they expect inflation to remain around or below half-percent for next one to two years, so low inflation should not be matter of concern for reasonable period of time.  
Apparently from the FED statement it appears very clear that it will target labour market to further improve job conditions through economic growth and it is encouraging too that the FED members sees risk to the outlook for economy and labour market looks balanced. This also means that future FED action will largely depend on US economic performance.
Tough USD 10 billion may be token or modest amount in size, but the move has began and market now knows that FED will be done with its QE program Next year (2014). It is worth nothing that Janet Yellen in past considered very Dovish is no more only a voting FED member, as she has a responsibility and has bigger role to play. There was against vote that did not matter. 
Another key point to note is that it's benchmark unemployment remains 6.5 pct and is not lowered as market was guessing prior to monetary policy announcement. 
It is still early to digest or have full grasp of FED's overall move, as market may take some more time to analyse the pros and cons, but for guidance the immediate best indicators could be the behavior of emerging market, 10-years US Treasuries and Stock market.
  
GMT 3:30 - GOLD @ $ 1220 = After last night FED's move gold is set to fall and test new lows next year. Struggling Bears may may to push is higher, which should be good opportunity to sell gold.
I am expecting gold to hold below $1232 levels and therefore sell on up moves for $ 1210-12. Break will encourage for a test of $ 1204-06 zones and a push towards $ 1187-90 could be a good possibility. Or else $ 1240.
GMT 3: 35 - EURO @ 1.3655 = Euro needs to move beyond 1.3690 for 1.3720 or else risk for a test of 1.3590 will increase on break of 1.3615.
GMT 3:40 - GBP @ 1.6370 = Cable is still a hard nut to crack and bias remains on the upside, It has support around 1.6330-40 zones, break of 1.6395-00 will likely to challenge 1.6425-40 zones. or else 1.6300-10 before up.
GMT 3:45 - JPY @ 103.97 = Needs to break 104.35, which could be tough for a test of 104.-80-90 zones. Failure to ease will push Japanese currency towards 103.55-60 before it further weakens.
GMT 3:47 - AUD @ 0.8828 = Aussie could hold around 0.8750 levels for minor correction, but may find resistance around 0.8850-60 or else 0.8720.

    GBP @ 1.6277 = may find hard to break 1.6240-50 and could inch up towards 1.6110-20

    AUD @ 0.8865 = may hold around 0.8840-50 for test of 0.8880-90

  25. Dear manish, take is easy you have a bad habit of jumping all the time that forces me to make unnecessary post.

    I always make best effort so that you and others end up making money. If I do not reply to your query that does not mean that I am sitting idle.

    I actually wait for opportunity to enter into a trade so that you do not end up in loss.

    So please be patient and let NYK settle down as it is still day one for them

    Best Regards
    Asad
