BoJ minutes: members continue to pursue powerful easing

Minutes of the Monetary Policy Meeting in Japan on July 11 and 12 have been published, without any significant surprise. Comparing the forecasts in the April 2012 Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices, BoJ minutes reads: "Growth prospects will likely remain broadly unchanged. With regard to prices, the year-on-year rate of change in the domestic corporate goods price index will likely be somewhat lower for fiscal 2012 but broadly in line with the April forecasts for fiscal 2013. The year-on-year rate of change in the CPI (all items less fresh food) is expected to be broadly in line with the April forecasts."

London session ahead will be a busy one in terms of EUR macro data related, with main risk event for the European morning in the form of German ZEW economic sentiment at 09:00 GMT. But earlier will come French prelim 2Q GDP and CPI m/m, followed by German prelim 2Q GDP at 06:00 GMT, French jobs data 45 minutes later, EUR flash GDP at same time than ZEW, and EU industrial production. Following US session will bring more key figures like US PPI and retail sales at 12:30 GMT which usually move markets. In the GBP front the UK will publish its CPI numbers on yearly basis at 08:30 GMT, which could bring volatility to EUR/GBP cross. In the EZ sovereign debt auctions arena Greece will try to sell up to € 3.125 B worth in 13 week bills. (fxstreet.com)

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Germany Economic Sentiment release and E.M.U GDP release at 09:00 GMT in focus today as major market drivers. We suggest next resistance level for today at 1.2376 (R1), yesterday high. Rise above it might lead to the trend development with next targets at 1.2444 (R2). Further appreciation is possible in case of successful clearance here, last suggested target at 1.2513 (R3). Downside direction is limited by next support level at 1.2310 (S1), loss of which will lead to the next target at 1.2240 (S2). Brake here would enable last support level at 1.2164 (S3) as final target for today.
