Traders are likely to remain in a Euro Bullish mode despite the firming up of the US dollar amid Improved Home Builder Confidence even as EUR together with Scandinavian currencies under performed the rest of G10 at the start of the week after investors sought to take profit on their USD-short positions. EU’s Economic and Monetary Commissioner Olli Rehn has meanwhile indicated that the currencies will feature prominently on the agenda after Eurogroup’s Chairman Juncker had said that there has been too much volatility between the main global currencies.
Possible ECB Intervention: Even though the basic decision to intervene on the FX market lies with the ECOFIN, the economy and finance (and budget) ministers of the euro zone member countries, there is a possibility that the ECB could still take part in the discussions as a consultant. Analysts feel that the ECB is thus much more closer to the decision making process than say the BoJ which acts as an agent of Japan's MoF. On the flip side, the ECB has shown very little desire so far to engage in any interventionist talk or indeed into discussions about the EURUSD level.
EURUSD – Friday’s daily chart posted a significant daily reversal, which could well indicate that a period of consolidation could well now be due. This daily candle is classified as “dark cloud cover” or a weaker form of engulfing pattern and yesterday’s down move stopped short of the 1.3800 levels rebounding from 1.3830. Meanwhile according to Deutsche Bank analysts, investors had no reason to sit on any open positions after the Fed chairman Bernanke's speech on Friday until the central bank begins QE2, as they had already received confirmation and the market had already processed the information. Given that a significant amount of euro-shorts were forced out during the euro-rally last week, the weakness on Friday afternoon is transformed into bull-market exhaustion this morning. Our risk limit was undercut, leaving us with a neutral outlook. Significant corrections will be in order below 1.3850.

According to analysts at CitiFx, ahead of the G20 meetings in Korea, euro area officials should continue to concentrate their efforts on promoting coordinated solution to the ‘currency wars’. In this regard we would expect to see further calls on EM economies to allow more flexibility of their currencies. At the same time there should be still fairly muted critique (if any) of the Fed plans to potentially add to its unconventional monetary policy accommodation. We think that the European officials continue to see the problems of euro area’s fiscally weak members as a far greater threat to its stability and growth outlook than the strong EUR of late.
