Weekly Report 28 th November 15 Research Team IFA Global
The Week That Was!!! The US Dollar index began the week in a corrective mode receding to 99.30 levels as nothing surfaced from the much hyped emergency US Federal Reserve meeting. The correction however was short lived and the rally commenced again as US Durable Goods data for the month of October and US Initial Jobless claims came in better than expected. The US Dollar made a high of 100.20 this week a tad shy of its March 2015 high of 100.39. The Euro attempted to claw back against the US Dollar but ran into strong resistance around 1.0690. Reports that the ECB could expand its QE program in its meeting on 3rd December 2015 by increasing either the quantum of its purchases or by including other assets such as rebundled loans triggered a fresh wave of sell off in the common currency. Strong data from the US also aided the slide. There were also reports that the ECB is mulling implementing a two tier penalty charge system for banks leaving cash with it. 1.0565 proved to be a strong support for the pair as it rebounded twice from that level this week. On the domestic front, the Rupee continued to depreciate during the course of the week. Weakness in emerging market currencies on apprehension of December rate hike, coupled with overall strength in the US Dollar index weighed on the domestic currency. USD/INR faced resistance around 66.48 but once that level was taken out, the pair went on to retest the September high of 66.86 to eventually end the week at 66.76. The Week Ahead The next week belongs to central bankers as a host of central bankers across the global are scheduled to speak. Markets and traders alike are likely to look for further guidance from these speeches. On the economic data point, we have the most important Chinese manufacturing PMI. Chinese PMI will have direct impact on the currencies, especially emerging market currencies. From the US, we have the ISM non-manufacturing PMI and the NFP payrolls data for December. This data will be equally important as data points from US have the added importance if seen impending rate hike perspective. BoE governor Carney, ECB President Draghi and US Fed Chair Yellen are expected to speak this week. On the domestic front, all eyes would be on the RBI monetary policy due on 1st December. Market participants would look at the tone of RBI governor, given that the recent CPI data have been dismal. Market participants will also look forward to any new announcement that RBI makes; they will also look for any indication regarding the introduction of currency futures in cross currencies which was discussed in the last policy meet.
