USD

After yesterdays unchanged rate from FED and the expected comment on the risk of high pressures inflation which were the main issue and putting the slowing down in the economic growth to the side, the market will be waiting for ECB comments and what we think will be and unchanged decision to later in the day.
The dollar was little changed after yesterdays comments, so ECB will show the way for a coming Eur/Usd strengthening or a break of the important level 135.38 now.
Market consensus shows rates unchanged after weak economic numbers from the US in April, a slumping housing market and stronger growth elsewhere. Investors will pay attention to any indication that the Federal Reserve is concerned about the recent growth slump which could lead to rate cuts in the near-term. Downside risk still remains for the Euro if rallies continue to stall at the 1.3550 level.
The USD held steady against the European currencies and the JPY after the Fed statement. Some market participants will likely view the Fed's acknowledgment of the recent slowdown in economic activity as a "baby step" toward an eventual interest rate cut. But the main message for forex markets seems to be that the Fed didn't have greater acknowledgment of the slow first quarter growth. The Fed continues to believe that the economy is going to grow faster, and that the drag from housing will decrease (that’s why they continue to be focused on inflation).

Many economists expect the central bank to hold back until later this year, when Fed officials could cut rates to combat rising unemployment.

The Fed's last rate change occurred last summer, when it hiked the funds rate for a 17th straight time.

Two other rate decisions are taking place from the European Central Bank and the Bank of England.

The ECB is expected to leave its key interest rate unchanged at 3.75 percent, but could signal that another quarter-point increase is on the way in June. The Bank of England is expected to increase its rate from 5.25 percent to 5.5 percent.






EUR
The EUR continues to stabilize just above the ascending trendline stemming from late March, around the 1.3520-30 region. The European Central Bank, which is the monetary authority for the EURO, is scheduled to meet later today and is widely expected to keep interest rates on hold at 3.75%. The rates decision will be declared at 12:45 GMT. However, the real action would begin when the ECB head, Mr. Jean Trichet starts his speech at 13:30 GMT
We anticipate the use of the word “vigilance” in describing the ECB's stance against risks to inflationary pressure which could signal a 25bps rate hike to 4.00% in the next meeting, which is scheduled for 06-June in Frankfurt.
The markets would also be looking at Trichet’s stance on inflation, given that the M3 for the EUR region last came in at 10.9%, on 30-April. The last declared EUR CPI was at 1.8%, which is just below the top end of ECB “Comfort Zone” of 2.0%. It would be worthwhile to note that Trichet used the words “"VERY CLOSELY MONITOR" on his stance on inflation in its last meet.

EUR 10-Year Bunds yields are already discounting a June hike and they are trading near their highest levels since July 2004. The 6-Month EUR Libor is at 4.16%, which is also its highest level since Aug-2001.

EUR has been in a relentless uptrend against the USD, JPY and the CHF so far in 2007 and has seen gains of 3.05%, 3.82% and 2.56% against these currencies respectively.

Now, with the FED on hold and BOJ unlikely to raise rates for sometime now, EUR could maintain a longer term uptrend against USD and JPY. However, SNB is likely to raise rates in its next meet, so the EUR performance against the CHF may be tepid.

Today Interest rate statement also expected from the UK and will take place at 12:45 .
The Bank of England will certainly be concerned over inflation at this month’s meeting. Indeed, the bank faces one of the toughest periods since it was given independence 10 years ago. The consumer inflation rate increased to 3.1% in April from 2.8% previously, more than 1.0% above the target level, while headline wage inflation rose sharply to 4.6%.

The bank will need to control inflation expectations as failure to control inflation now would cause serious difficulties in the medium term. In his recent lecture, bank Governor King stated that there is no more important challenge than keeping inflation and inflation expectations anchored on the target.”

Overall, there is a strong probability that the Bank of England will increase interest rates at this meeting, especially as growth indicators have remained firm.

There has been speculation over a 0.5% increase in rates at the meeting and a 0.5% increase would reinforce the case that the bank is very serious about bringing inflation down. An increase of this size would, however, risk destabilizing the economy and the bank will have to consider the fact that interest rate increases take time to take effect.

A 0.25% rate increase looks to be the more likely outcome, possibly on a split vote. Assuming rates are increased, the tone of the bank’s statement will be important and hints that rates are unlikely to rise again would tend to weaken Sterling.

Overall, the UK currency is unlikely to gain strongly on a 0.25% increase, especially as there would be some disappointment that rates were not increased by 0.5% and Sterling could actually weaken.

The UK currency will weaken sharply if there is a no change in rates. Sterling will jump stronger if there is a 0.5% rate increase, but gains could reverse rapidly on fears over weaker growth.

We maintain our near-term bullish outlook on the single currency if the pair can manage to remain above this key support level, which should result in EURUSD eventually pushing higher toward the 1.37-level. However, if EURUSD breaches this level we would then anticipate a setback to our view and an initial test lower to 1.3365.
JPY
Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui reiterated on Thursday that the central bank will guide monetary policy gradually based on the economy and prices, while carefully monitoring risk factors.

Japanese money supply update: (JP April M2 Money Supply YoY: 1.1% v 1.1% expected; Broad Liquidity: 2.6% v 2.5% expected) The money supply data showed that depositors are shifting funds from high-liquidity money such as deposit money to time deposits, with the rise in interest rates. This would please BoJ governor Fukui, who warned during today's session that low rates may foster inefficient asset allocation.

'The BOJ will strive to manage monetary policy appropriately and contribute to sustained growth under stable prices,' Fukui told an upper house financial committee.
The BOJ raised the key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to a decade-high 0.5 % in February and has kept monetary policy on hold since then.
