Ashes to ashes

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 10:45 PM PDT

And now dust to dust, at least the batting tracks of which Swanny is making so much use.

I’m not going to gloat over  yesterday’s victory but here are some facts:

  • Not since 1890 have England won the first two Tests of a home Ashes series
  • They have never before won an Ashes Test by so many runs in this country, and only once by more overseas
  • Only once before have Australia come from 2-0 down to win an Ashes series, almost 80 years ago ( and that was with Don Bradman to help)

Four days at Lords left me pining for the days of a more closely fought competition. Much of this Test match was farcical, whether it be the Aussies’ batting or England’s decision to bat on, ( and on ) to post a ridiculous lead.

England have their limitations but are still far too powerful for this Australian side that we can only hope might improve before the summer’s out in the interests of fair play.

So, no, you won’t see me jumping up and down in delight right now- victory seems a bit hollow- but yes of course I’ll settle for a crushing win and a 2-0 lead in the five Test series.

If only trading forex was as simple!

BOJ’s Sato: Restoring fiscal health is key to achieving a sustainable recovery in Japan

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 10:35 PM PDT

It would appear he hasn’t quite finished yet!

  • Sales tax hike is important step to restoring Japan’s fiscal health
  • The average duration of JGBs that the BOJ buys can briefly fall below 6 years if needed for flexible market operations
  • Stabilization of short to medium term JGBs will serve as an anchor for bond yields across the curve
  • BOJ still has policy options left and is open to further steps should risks to the economy materialize

Nothing that we haven’t heard before ( a few times in fact )

Data coming up in this session

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:42 PM PDT

Good day everyone

I trust you all had a great week-end, and that those of you in the Asian session managed to pick up a few pips along the way on the back of the Japanese election result.

My thanks to Ryan who covered for me while I watched England beat the Aussies at cricket, and I’m now back to what looks likely to be a quiet day. Certainly nothing by way of data to get things moving this morning.

Let’s hope for a kick-start from somewhere.

Good luck out there one and all

ForexLive Asia Wrap: USD/JPY sold off in wake of Sunday’s as expected Japanese election result

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 08:52 PM PDT

The forex trading headlines for Asia trading today, Monday July 22

Weekend:

Asian session today:

USD weakness across the board today saw GBP and EUR climb a little in the Tokyo morning, as did gold too.

NZD opened lower but recovered its gap.

AUD/USD opened around 0.9170/75 and traded higher  to approach its Friday New York highs.

But most of the action was in the yen. USD/JPY dealt very briefly above 100.80 in the very early New Zealand market, fell back to 100.20 and then bounced to 100.60. Monday morning markets are a very thin liqudity time of the week, which contributed to the volatility. As liquidity returned as the morning progressed USD/JPY sold off more heavily as long positions squared on the news of Japanese election results. A final stop-loss flush below 99.70 marked the session low, followed by a bounce to 100.20 and running into more sellers. It continued quite active, with the range narrowing around 100 before it trickled lower in early afternoon.
