Natural Gas Trade Idea By Capital Street FX

Warmer Weather Forecasts Push Natural Gas to One-week Lows

U.S. natural gas futures extended its slide on Tuesday after starting the week off with heavy losses. The natural gas market gapped down on Monday on the back of forecasts showing cold weather receding in key regions in the U.S. during the next few weeks, which tends to dampen demand for the heating fuel.

Natural gas futures for March delivery fell as low as $3.172 per million British thermal units on Tuesday after having dropped more than 3% on Monday.

Investors will look head to weekly storage data scheduled on Thursday. The report is expected to point to draw in a range between 83 and 94 billion cubic feet in the week ended January 27 after showing a withdrawal of 119 billion cubic feet in the preceding week.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, total natural gas in storage currently stands at 2.798 trillion cubic feet, 11.1% lower than levels at this time a year ago and less than 1% below the five-year average for this time of year.

Daily Report on February 01, 2017



Asian shares were mixed on Wednesday with Japan’s equities erasing earlier losses, while Hong Kong stocks resuming trading after a holiday. The Japanese Topix reversed higher after dropping as much as 0.9 percent earlier in the day. Stocks in Australia and South Korea jumped while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index lost 0.7 percent as trading resumed after a two-day break. Markets in China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam remain closed for a holiday.

The dollar stabilized in Asia trading hours on Wednesday after its worst month since March as investors awaited a Federal Reserve policy decision due later on the day. U.S. President Donald Trump and his trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday stated that the currency policies of Japan and other trading partners including China and Germany are devaluing their currencies to the disadvantage of the United States.

In response to comments by U.S. President Donald Trump, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Wednesday that the central bank's ultra-loose monetary policy was not aimed at devaluing the yen. According to a senior Japanese government source, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso will explain the government's stance on currencies and monetary policy at a meeting next week between Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump.

The National Bureau of Statistics of China on Wednesday stated that the country’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index fell to 51.3 in January from 51.4 in the previous month but was above expectations, suggesting stable growth heading into 2017. China's official nonmanufacturing purchasing managers' index, a measure of activity outside factory gates, edged up to 54.6 in January from 54.5 in December.

According to the Statistics New Zealand, unemployment rate advanced to 5.2% in the three-month period to December from 4.9% in the previous quarter. The result contrasted with economists’ median estimate which expected a drop to 4.8%. The increase in jobless rate was due to the fact that more people sought work than could find jobs. Participation rate jumped to record 70.5%, surpassing economists’ forecast of 70.2%. Meanwhile, employment increased 0.8% in the quarter, also topping consensus estimate of a 0.7% gain.

Daily Report on February 02, 2017 by Capital Street FX

Daily Report on February 02, 2017



Global shares sagged on Thursday as investors scrutinized mixed earnings from corporate heavyweights. The U.S. dollar also stepped lower after the U.S. Federal Reserve gave no hint of accelerating rate hikes at its first meeting since President Donald Trump took office in January. European stock markets opened lower after Asian shares pared their early gains and plunged into the red.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.1 percent, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropping 0.6% and Singapore’s Straits Times Index retreating 0.8 percent from the highest level since October 2015. Japan’s Topix index fell 1.1 percent. China markets were closed for the final day of Lunar New Year holidays. Meanwhile, the Stoxx Europe 600 Index declined 0.5 percent and futures on the S&P 500 lost 0.4 percent.

The dollar slipped to its lowest levels since mid-November on Thursday even after the Federal Reserve presented a relatively upbeat view of the U.S. economy at its meeting on Wednesday. Given uncertainties resulting from potential impact of Trump's protectionist stance, as well as his recent comments about currencies, the U.S. central bank Fed refrained from giving any explicit rate-hike signals or the timing of its next move.

The dollar index, which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of six major rivals, slipped nearly 0.5 percent to 99.25 - its lowest since November 14.

The pair AUDUSD rose to as high as 0.76514 – the highest level seen since November 11 last year after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that December’s official trade balance swelled to $3.511 billion in seasonally adjusted terms. The figure comfortably smashed market expectations for an increase to $2.2 billion and the previous record high of $2.236 billion set in February 2009. In December exports leaped by 5% compared to the month before, while imports rose a less-impressive 1%.

Sugar Trade Idea by Capital Street FX

Sugar Flies High, Boosted By Lower Indian Output Forecasts

Raw sugar prices extended its rally to a third consecutive day on Thursday amidst mounting expectations that India will lower sugar import duties to control rising local price which is due to a decline in the country’s production.

The outlook for Indian shrinking supply has boosted domestic prices 11 percent since the start of December. However, the country has maintained an import duty of 40 percent on the commodity.

According to market source, drought that damaged the crop in the country’s top producing region two seasons in a row may send India’s production down to a seven-year low.

Earlier in the month, the Indian Sugar Mills Association stated that it lowered domestic output forecast for 2016-1017 to 21.3 million tons, down from its 23.37-ton estimate in September. Market analysts were even more pessimistic, expecting only 20.4 million metric tons of India raw sugar production for the year that began October 01, 2016.

Daily Report on February 03, 2017 by Capital Street FX

Daily Report on February 03, 2017



European shares and the U.S. dollar gained on Friday ahead of a monthly report on the U.S. labor market. Economists expect the U.S. nonfarm payrolls for January published by the Labor Department will show employment growth in the U.S. expanded at a faster pace in January with 180,000 more jobs added.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index advanced 0.5 percent, trimming its decline for the week to 0.9 percent after Asian shares closed mixed. The Topix Index climbed 0.3 percent while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.6 percent on its first day of trading as China's markets reopened after closing for the week-long Lunar New Year holiday. Futures on the S&P 500 were up 0.1 percent, looking set for a decline on the week.

The Bank of Japan on Friday offered to buy an unlimited amount of bonds at a fixed rate in an unscheduled operation, which caused Japanese 10-year yields and the yen to whipsaw. The BOJ’s unscheduled purchase of an unlimited amount of debt for some maturities came after an earlier attempt Friday morning to cap yields by expanding bond purchases in a regular operation disappointed investors.

In its first wording day since January 26th, China's central bank reinforced a shift toward tighter monetary policy by raising key interest rates in the money market. The People Bank of China attempted to deflate asset bubbles and reducing long-term financial risk by hiking the interest rates it charges commercial banks on the seven-day, 14-day and 28-day loans, also known as reverse repurchase agreements or repos, each by 0.1 percentage point.

The PBOC also continued to withdraw cash from the financial system. The bank drained a net 70 billion yuan ($10.17 billion) from markets, a move that contributed to sending Chinese shares and bonds lower. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.6% on Friday, weighed down also by fresh data that showed a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing growth last month.

The China Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) for January was reported to slow from December. The reading, which has been above 50 for the seventh straight month, came in at 51.0 in January, down from December's 47-month record of 51.9 and below a Reuters' poll forecast for 51.8, according to Markit.

Global shares edged higher on Monday with MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan creeping up 0.4% while STOXX Europe 600 Index inching up 0.08%. Taiwan shares led gainers in Asian session, adding 0.9% while Japan's Nikkei jumped 0.2 percent in the wake of a firmer finish on Wall Street last Friday, which resulted from U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive orders to roll back regulations that were intended to prevent a repeat of the global financial crisis.

The Markit/Caixin services purchasing managers' index (PMI) on Monday showed that activity in the services sector in China remained strong in January. The services PMI fell marginally to 53.1 in January on a seasonally adjusted basis from 53.4 in December but remained above 50-mark that separates expansion in activity from contraction on a monthly basis. Although the pace of expansion eased from the previous month, companies reported a solid increase in orders which indicates that growth in China's services sector remained robust.

Meanwhile, Australian retail sales witnessed a shock decline in December. According to the data released by the ABS on Monday, the country’s sales fell by 0.1% to $A25.61 billion in seasonally adjusted terms in December. The result missed expectations for an increase of 0.3% and marked the first monthly contraction in retail sales since July 2016. November’s reading was also revised lower to just 0.1% from 0.2% in the previous report.

On a quarterly basis, Australian retailers boosted their sales to rise 0.9 percent in the three-month period to December, from a flat in the July-September period.

Crude prices were struggling for direction as rising oil rig count in the U.S. offset efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers like Russia to cut output. energy services firm Baker Hughes Inc said late Friday U.S. drillers added 17 oil rigs in the week to Feb. 3, bringing the total count up to 583.

Daily Report on February 07, 2017 by Capital Street FX

Daily Report on February 07, 2017



Asian shares declined on Tuesday, mirroring losses of European and U.S. stocks recorded yesterday. Political jitters, which stemmed from French presidential election and uncertainties over President Donald Trump's potential economic policies, caused investors to pull away from risky assets and flock into safe-havens including Japanese Yen.

The Yen gained against most of its peers on Tuesday with investor cautious about European political developments after France's far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen on Monday launched her presidential bid. The candidate vowed to fight globalization and threatened to take France out of the euro zone. As a result, both European stocks and the Euro fell.

Meanwhile, Australia's central bank held rates steady on Tuesday after its first policy meeting of this year. The RBA kept rates at a record low of 1.5 percent for a seventh straight month, following two times of easing in August and May last year. Governor Philip Lowe expressed his optimism about an economy bounce back in the fourth quarter after a surprise contraction in the third quarter of last year.

The central bank remained its forecast for economic growth to be around 3 percent over the next couple of years and expected inflation to pick up gradually.

New Zealand dollar surged strongly against its American peer on Tuesday after data from the RBNZ showed that long-term inflation expectations for New Zealand businesses rose in the fourth quarter. According to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the nation’s consumer prices soared 1.9% in the three-month period to December, sending the annual pace to 1.3% in the fourth quarter. That was the biggest gain since the third quarter of 2014, when inflation was 1.6% on a yearly basis. As stated by the report released on Tuesday, inflation was driven up by higher transport costs, rising energy prices and the continued expansion of housing-related expenses.

Shares of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc were unchanged in after-hour trading on Monday as the company’s quarterly report showed that while profit beat analysts’ expectations, revenue fell short of forecasts.

21st Century Fox Inc. reported a 27% increase in profit for the most recent quarter thanks to strong advertising revenue from sports events such as the World Series, and strong ratings of its cable news channel during the U.S. presidential campaign.

Net income came in at $856 million, or 46 cents a share, up from $672 million, or 34 cents, a year earlier, for the three months ended December 31.

However, the company posted revenue that rose only 4% to $7.68 billion while analysts had expected revenue of $7.72 billion.
