    Gas Prices Have Bottomed For Now

    After declining a record 123 consecutive days, U.S. gas prices seem to have bottomed out. According to this week's Energy Information Administration "Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update", average US gas prices edged up from $2.044 per gallon on January 26 to $2.068 per gallon on February 2. However, US gas prices are still well below the $3.292 per gallon they were a year earlier. Average gas prices had dropped to nearly $2 per gallon due to the steep decline in the cost of crude oil during the previous six months. Gas prices generally are at or near seasonal lows in January due to relatively weak demand. Many Americans cut back on driving and travel during the cold winter months, which can allow gasoline supplies to build. "Many drivers are noticing an uptick in gas prices for the first time in months," said Avery Ash, AAA spokesman. "It is typical to see gas prices increase this time of year due to refinery issues, yet hopefully the consumer impact will be less problematic given how low prices are today." AAA expects gas prices to increase this month due to refinery maintenance and decreased production. Gas prices in February have increased during the previous five years by an average of 22 cents per gallon, according to AAA.

    Oil Back Up, Usd Back Down



    Another day, another >5% swing in oil prices-this time higher overall. That helped CAD and NOK, but no more so than most other majors, as the biggest theme in FX was broad USD weakness. EUR managed to be the marginal top performer alongside DKK. At least part of that support may have come from central bank flows as the Danish Central Bank cut its deposit rate to -0.75% in defense of pressure on the EURDKK peg. That's the fourth cut this year.

    Ireland Construction Sector Growth Slows In January

    The growth in the Irish construction sector eased at the beginning of the the year to mark its lowest level in almost one year, as activity and new orders rose at a slower pace, data from a survey by Markit Economics showed Monday. The Ulster Bank Construction Purchasing Mangers' index dropped to 57.1 in January from 63.1 in the previous month. However any reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector. This signaled a sharp overall increase in total activity during the month, albeit the weakest since February 2014. Among the three sub categories of construction, commercial activity remained sharp during January despite easing for the third month running. At the same time. housing activity increased at a slowest pace and logged its weakest rise since August 2013. Civil engineering activity rose for the fourth straight month in January. The rate of growth in new orders slowed to the weakest level since August 2013, but remained solid during the month. In contrast to the slowdown of growth in activity and new orders, employment level in the construction sector remained strong and was only slightly weaker than in December, underpinned by Positive expectations regarding workloads in coming months. "The pace of jobs growth eased only slightly and remained strong. Moreover, sentiment ticked up from December levels and was the second-highest in the series history behind the record reached last November, suggesting that firms retain a very positive view of the year-ahead outlook despite an apparent easing in the pace of activity in January," Simon Barry, Chief Economist Republic of Ireland at Ulster Bank, said. On the price front, input prices climbed sharply in January due to the relative weakness of the euro. But this factor outweighed falls in the cost of fuel, thereby preventing a slowdown in the rate of input price inflation.

    Malaysia Expects Q4 Gdp to have slowed Versus Previous Quarters: Standard Chartered





    Quotes from Standard Chartered Malaysia is due to release Q4-2014 GDP and current account data on 12 February. We expect GDP growth to have slowed to 5.0% y/y from an average 6.1% in the first nine months of the year. This would translate into full-year growth of 5.8%, the fastest since 2010, despite the slowdown towards end-2014. We expect net external demand to have contributed positively to growth, unlike in recent years. Malaysia forecast challenges to growth, particularly in Q1-2015, on lower global oil prices. We expect the current account balance to have narrowed to MYR 6.2bn in Q4 from MYR 7.6bn in Q3.

    An index measuring consumer confidence in Australia surged in January, the latest survey from Westpac Bank and the Melbourne Institute showed on Wednesday. The index spiked 8.0 percent to a score of 100.7, touching a 13-month high. That follows the 2.4 percent gain in December to 93.2. "This is a much stronger result than we had expected. It represents the first time since February last year that we have seen a majority (albeit miniscule) of optimists over pessimists. It is also the highest level of the Index since January last year," Westpac Chief Economist Bill Evans said.

    Daily analysis of major pairs for February 16, 2015


    EUR/USD: The EUR/USD pair has been making commendable effort to go upward in the context of a downward bias. This effort has enabled the price to close above the support line at 1.1350 and a movement above the resistance line at 1.1500 would result in a clean Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market. The outlook for the EUR/USD pair this week is bullish.

    Boj Likely to Stay Put at the February Meeting

    Notes from Standard Chartered research: We expect the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to stay put at its 17-18 February monetary policy meeting. However, we think the weaker-than-expected Q4 GDP reading highlights the need for further government and BoJ support. We also believe a significant change in its inflation outlook will indicate its next policy move. The rapid drop in domestic prices on lower global oil prices will be the central bank's biggest concern, in our view, although the longer-term impact of oil-price declines will likely be positive. The PPI inflation rate has dropped for three consecutive months since November 2014. We expect core inflation (which excludes fresh food) to fall back into negative territory in the coming months and reach 0-0.5% by end-FY15 (i.e., by March 2016).

    Westpac Leading Index Gains 0.1% In January



    The Australian economy inched slightly forward in January, the latest survey from Westpac Bank and the Melbourne Institute suggested on Wednesday, as its leading economic index added 0.1 percent on month. That follows the flat reading in December, and it continues the stretch of below-trend growth, Westpac said. "We still believe that an interest rate cut in March is the best policy to support domestic demand and maintain downward pressure on the Australian dollar and this outcome remains our forecast," Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said.

    Gold Retains Gains on Hopes fED Will Delay Interest Rate Hike

    Spot gold was little changed at $1,212.81 an ounce by 0030 GMT. The metal closed up 0.3 percent on Wednesday, after dropping to a six-week low of $1,197.56 earlier in the session. Fed policymakers expressed concern last month that raising rates too soon could pour cold water on the U.S. economic recovery, and fretted over the impact of dropping "patient" from the central bank's rate guidance. The minutes from the Fed's Jan. 27-28 policy-setting meeting, released on Wednesday, show officials grappling to square solid U.S. economic growth with the weakness in international markets, as well as worrying about falling inflation expectations in the United States. Global equity markets advanced on Wednesday while the dollar pulled back from earlier gains following the release of the Fed minutes. Gold had come under pressure in recent months from expectations the Fed will raise interest rates as early as June, potentially lifting the dollar and hurting non-interest-yielding assets like bullion. If interest rates are kept near record lows for longer, bullion's appeal could increase.

    Japan Manufacturing Sector Slows In February - Markit

    The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in February, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from Markit Economics showed on Friday with a PMI score of 51.5. That was well shy of forecasts for a score of 52.5, and it was down from 52.2 in January. The February reading represents a seven-month low score, although it remains above the boom-or-bust score of 50 that separates expansion from contraction. Among the individual components, the manufacturing output index was steady at 52.7, suggesting that production growth remains solid, Markit said.

    BoJ Minutes: Moderate Pace For Economic Recovery

    The members of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy committee believe that the pace of the country's economic recovery remains moderate, minutes from the bank's policy meeting on January 20 and 21 revealed on Monday. They also noted that capital spending was on the upswing as corporate profits continued to grow. "Japan's economy has continued to recover moderately as a trend, and effects such as those of the decline in demand following the front-loaded increase prior to the consumption tax hike have been waning on the whole. Overseas economies -- mainly advanced economies --have been recovering, albeit with a lackluster performance still seen in part," the minutes said. The members did concede that they were likely to miss their desired inflation target of 2 percent following years of deflation - due mainly to tumbling energy prices. Citing lower crude oil prices, the BoJ downgraded its core inflation estimate for fiscal 2015 to 1 percent from 1.7 percent. But the central bank lifted the forecast for fiscal 2016 to 2.2 percent from 2.1 percent. "Inflation expectations appear to be rising on the whole from a somewhat longer-term perspective," the bank said. "The year-on-year rate of increase in the CPI is likely to slow for the time being, reflecting the decline in energy prices." At the meeting, the BoJ kept its monetary policy unchanged and lowered its near-term inflation forecast. The bank also extended its loan scheme by one year in order to encourage lending. The central bank also decided by an 8-1 vote to maintain its target of raising the monetary base at an annual pace of about JPY 80 trillion. The bank said major risks to the outlook are developments in the emerging and commodity-exporting economies, the prospects regarding the debt problem and the risk of low inflation rates being protracted in Europe, and the pace of recovery in the United States. The bank raised its fiscal 2015 growth outlook to 2.1 percent from 1.5 percent. For fiscal 2016, the bank projected 1.6 percent real growth instead of 1.2 percent. "Quantitative and qualitative monetary easing (QQE) has been exerting its intended effects, and the Bank will continue with the QQE, aiming to achieve the price stability target of 2 percent, as long as it is necessary for maintaining that target in a stable manner. It will examine both upside and downside risks to economic activity and prices, and make adjustments as appropriate," the bank said.

Among the individual components, prices were lower for communications, transportation and leasing; they were higher for advertising, machinery repair and real estate.
