Spring Break Bikini Contest Of All Time
Currencies: A fairly narrow range overnight, but clear evidence of the pro-growth, risk-on trade. CHF and JPY underperformed, while NZD, AUD and CAD outperformed.
EUR/USD. Stonewalled at 1.30
EUR/USD (1.3003) is up overnight and continuing to press upwards for a breach of 1.30. However, 1.30 continues to prove stubborn resistance, leaving the currency to languish in a sub-1.30 consolidation.
Technicals:
* Trend: Daily lower; Weekly higher.
* Overbought/Oversold (stochastics): Daily overbought; Weekly neutral.
* Support / Resistance Levels: Support for EUR/USD lies at 1.25 (psychological), 1.2152 (Jun 29 low), 1.1877 (Jun7 low), 1.1827 (Mar’06 low), and 1.1640 (Nov’05 low). Resistance lies at 1.3029 (Jul20 high), 1.3094 (May10 high), 1.3692 (Apr12 high), 1.3818 (Mar17 high), 1.4026 (Feb3 high), 1.4194 (Jan25 high), 1.4579 (Jan13 high) and 1.4626 (Nov low).
Positioning:
* The CFTC, EUR, non-commercial, net position (-26K) moderated slightly, consistent with the continued test higher to above 1.30 in EUR/USD up to Tuesday.
* The risk reversal (3m, 25delta) rose along with the rally in spot. The reversal is still heavily skewed for EUR downside, but it lies in the middle of its six month range – suggesting two way price action.
* Implied Vol (3m) fell overnight. It has dropped into the bottom-third of its six-month range but is not yet extreme.
Cross-asset valuation: The significant correlations that EUR/USD has during the past 60 days are the 10yr yield spread (positive), the US10yr yield (positive) and the SPX (positive).

A week spent speculating which banks might fail their ‘stress tests'
Political and Economic Developments
The Bank of Canada raised it key rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%; Brazil raised its Selic rate 50 basis points to 10.75%, slightly less than expected on negative inflation in June. UK Q2 GDP came in a better than expected +1.1% Q/Q taking Y/Y growth to +1.6%, helped in part by June Retail Sales which rose by 1.0% M/M and +3.1% Y/Y excluding auto-fuel. No doubt the football World Cup had an effect, but this keeps it at the average of the last decade. With June Core CPI also running at +3.1% Y/Y (RPI +5.0% Y/Y and among the highest in two decades) yet Gilts maturing within 9 years yielding under 3.00%, real interest rates are decidedly negative. Pity then that National Savings and Investments was forced to withdraw its index-linked securities (RPI +1.00% per annum) to all new investors, the first time in their 35-year history, because of huge inflows. Hometrack has annual house prices rising by under 3.00% or shrinking since December 2007, Rightmove suggests +3.7% Y/Y, though the Halifax and Nationwide calculate 6.3% and 8.7% respectively. Gains on main homes tax free. German and Eurozone Purchasing Managers’ Indices, IFO and Consumer Confidence Surveys all upbeat versus June’s.

Positioning:
* The CFTC, GBP, non-commercial, net-position moderated to -35K, and it has consolidated the past three weeks, consistent with the consolidation of spot just above 1.50 up through Tuesday.
* The risk reversal (3m, 25delta) remained stable overnight and remains near the highs since Feb. While it remains skewed for GBP losses, it is also in the upper end of its six-month range, which suggests an overbought condition.

Cross-asset valuation: USD / CHF has correlated mostly strongly during the past 60 days with EUR/USD (negative) and the USD index (positive).
