    Fxwirepro: Usd/sgd Exhibits Range Bound Movement, Intraday Bias Remains Neutral

    USD/SGD is currently trading around 1.3415 marks.
    It made intraday high at 1.3419 and low at 1.3383 levels. Intraday bias remains neutral till the time pair holds key resistance at 1.3475 marks.
    A daily close below 1.3391 will drag the parity down towards key supports at 1.3347/1.3313/1.3302/ 1.3271 levels. Alternatively, a sustained close above 1.3475 will test key resistances at 1.3537, 1.3638, 1.3799, 1.3836, 1.3851(March 16, 2016 high), 1.4073 (20D EMA) and 1.4132(20D, 30D and 55D EMA crossover).
    Important to note here that in a daily chart, 20D, 30D and 55D EMA heads down and confirms the bearish trend. Current upside movement is short term trend correction only.
    Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear cut signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on sidelines for the time being.

    Baltic Exchange Board and SGX Agrees on Bid for London Firm

    Singapore Exchange and the Baltic Exchange announced on Monday that they have agreed on SGX's bid of 160.41 pounds per share and 19.30 pounds per share as a final dividend, higher than the initial 18.80 pounds per share dividend extended two weeks prior. The deal puts the market value of the London exchange firm at around 87 million pounds.

    SGX looks to grow its presence in Europe through its acquisition of the Baltic Exchange. The takeover is part of SGX's ambition to further delve into the market for shipping finance with the Baltic's membership that is dominated by European shipowners.

    The deal is seen to be completed by November if a vote of shareholders backs the takeover.

    New Zealand Has NZ$433 Million Trade Deficit In July

    New Zealand posted a merchandise trade deficit of NZ$433 million in July, Statistics New Zealand said on Wednesday - or 11 percent of exports.

    The headline figure missed forecasts for a shortfall of NZ$325 million following the downwardly revised surplus of NZ$110 million in June (originally NZ$127 million).

    Exports were worth NZ$3.96 billion, shy of expectations for NZ$4.07 billion and down from NZ$4.26 billion in the previous month.

    Meat and edible offal led the fall in exports, down NZ$97 million (19 percent).

    Milk powder fell NZ$118 million (23 percent) while the quantity rose 0.9 percent.

    Fruit fell NZ$17 million (5.7 percent) while the quantity rose 3.9 percent.

    Australia was the only top export destination to rise in value, up NZ$37 million.

    "The meat export falls this month are partly due to record meat exports this time last year," international statistics senior manager Jason Attewell said. "Meat values in July 2015, off the back of a record high meat season, were 31 percent higher than the average value for the previous five July months."

    Imports came in at NZ$4.40 billion versus forecasts for NZ$4.45 billion and up from NZ$4.13 billion a month earlier.

    Intermediate goods led the fall in imports, down NZ$296 million (15 percent) due to crude oil.

    Consumption goods fell in value for the first time in 23 months, down NZ$114 million (9.6 percent).

    The only top import partner to rise in value was the United States, up NZ$83 million.

    Qantas Profit Soars to A$1.53 billion and Pays First Dividend

    Qantas Airways Ltd.'s Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce's turnaround program has produced a record annual profit as the airline has announced its first dividend since 2009 and has given bonuses to its 25,000 employees. According to a Wednesday filing, Australia's flag carrier airline is going to pay a final dividend of seven Australian cents per share and buy back almost A$366 million ($279 million) worth of stocks. During the 12 months that ended on June 30, earnings before tax and one-time items soared by 57 percent into A$1.53 billion.

    The A$2 billion transformation program includes thousands of jobs that were cut, aircraft orders that were delayed and unprofitable routes which were pulled out. According to Joyce, the three-year plan is on the track to exceeding the initial target. Qantas has been doing well as shares have increased by 4.1 percent to A$3.54 with the stock nearly tripling ever since Joyce has announced the program. In the past year, Qantas has delivered two one-off capital returns which produces an overall of beyond A$1 billion.

    The airline's domestic business underlying operating profit has jumped by 20 percent to A$578 million and has significantly surged by 92 percent with A$512 million on its international unit.

    Italy Declares State of Emergency as Earthquake Death Toll Hits 250

    Italy's government declared a state of emergency in the areas hit hardest by the massive earthquake on Wednesday. The 6.2 magnitude quake struck in the early hours of Wednesday in central Italy, severely damaging several towns.

    At the minimum, 250 people have died from the disaster while 365 other people were injured. Rescue teams have continued to work through the rubble of destroyed buildings for a second night, but hopes of finding more survivors are dimming.

    Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has pledged 42 million pounds in funds for rehabilitation of the affected areas. Aside from the funds, the Italian premier has scrapped taxes for locals in the disaster zones. He also announced a new measure called “Italian Homes” to address the criticism of the Italian media over poor-quality home construction, but he also stated that it was ridiculous to think that the nation could establish full quake-proof establishments.

    Dollar Strengthens after U.S. Payroll Data

    The U.S. dollar strengthens following the disappointing U.S. employment growth figures for August which only slightly affected the perception of investors regarding the Federal Reserve's likelihood of increasing the interest rates in the following months. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 151,000 jobs in August, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

    Average hourly wage earnings increased by 0.1 percent, which falls behind the 0.2 percent growth of market expectations. As the increase of the average payroll during the last three months tops 200,000, investors have then concluded that the jobs report would not be a severe impact to the Fed's plan to lift interest rates. U.S. fed funds futures price is at a 20 percent likelihood of a rate hike this September and a 60 percent odds by the end of the year.

    The dollar's index against a basket of six major currencies .DXY=USD was buoyed as it immediately gained from its one-week low of 95.189 following the payroll data.

    Fxwirepro: Usd/jpy Recovery Not Convincing, Holds Above 20-Dma Support, But Bias Still Lower

    USD/JPY managed to erase losses from lows of 101.20, but upside seems to be loosing traction.

    Likelihood of another BoJ disappointment at the Sept 21 meet is rising, putting upside risk to the near-term path for JPY.

    Technicals still paint a bearish picture, indicators point south. The major is managing to hold above 20-DMA support currently at 101.52, but momentum signals have turned, and the RSI is now below 50.
    USDJPY is attempting a clear break below the 20-DMA, which then see scope for test of 98.90 (trendline).

    Major support levels - 101.52 (20-DMA), 101, 100.75 (Aug 3 low), 101.41 (23.6% Fib), 99.54 (Aug 16 low)

    Major resistance levels - 102, 102.12 (Sept 7 high), 102.58 (38.2% Fib), 102.62 (50-DMA) ​

    Recommendation: Good to short decisive break below 20-DMA, target: 101/ 100.75/ 99.55/ 99
