Technical Analysis, August 27th, 2012
Dollar Bertahan Menjelang Jackson Hole
“ Ini menunjukkan dollar akan bertahan menjelang Jackson Hole pada
minggu depan dan pertemuan FOMC berikutnya pada 12-13 September” kata
Mansoor Mohi-uddin. Kepala Strategi Valas di UBS Macro Research.
“ Harapan bahwa ECB akan memperjelas komitmennya untuk melanjutkan pembelian obligasi pemerintah pada pertemuan tanggal 6 Spetember juga dapat memungkinkan bagi euro untuk diperdagangkan dikisaran 1,20-1,30 pada bulan depan. Tetapi kita juga harus waspada dalam mengejar dollar ke level rendah, kecuali the Fed setuju untuk pembelian aset substansial” tambah Mohi-uddin.
Bernanke: Ada Ruang Untuk Pelonggaran Kuantitatif
Bernanke mengulangi pernyataan pada pertemuan Federal Open Market
Committee (FOMC) pada 1 Agustus bahwa Fed akan memberikan “akomodasi
tambahan jika dibutuhkan.” Dia memiliki kesempatan untuk memperluas
pandangannya dalam sebuah pidato tanggal 31 Agustus pada simposium
ekonomi tahunan Kansas City Fed di Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Bernanke menegaskan dalam surat pernyataan kepada Kongres bahwa kebijakan moneter
"bukanlah obat mujarab" dan untuk para pembuat kebijakan pemerintah
lainnya harus "menguji" langkah-langkah yang bisa dilakukan untuk
mendorong pertumbuhan. Surat Bernanke sebagai tanggapan pada pertanyaan
ke 10 di surat Issa, pada 1 Agustus surat dari Issa mengajukan 22
pertanyaan tentang kebijakan moneter.
ECB Pertimbangkan Batas Target Yields Obligasi
Emas Kokoh di Tengah Ketidakpastian Fed
Harga emas
melonjak 2 persen pada hari Kamis, bertahan pada tingkat terbaik sejak
bulan April, seiring akan adanya harapan untuk stimulus moneter baru
sehingga membantu mendorong permintaan untuk emas. Lemahnya data
manufaktur dari Cina dan hasil dari minutes terbaru pada pertemuan kebijakan Federal Reserves AS
menunjuk pada kemungkinan adanya langkah-langkah pelonggaran, data
tersebut mendukung kenaikan emas sebesar 3,1 persen dalam minggu ini.
Pasar emas "kemungkinan sedang menatap data ekonomi yang akan dirilis
medatang tentang inflasi dan kesempatan kerja. Adanya kejutan dalam
pelemahan dapat menyebabkan rally lebih lanjut pada harga emas, "kata
analis komoditas HSBC James Steel dalam sebuah catatan penelitian.
Kamis, 23 Agustus 2012
Emas Ke Tertingginya Sejak Mei
Kontrak berjangka emas AS kontrak untuk pengiriman Desember naik hampir 1 persen menjadi $1,656.50.
The Fed kemungkinan akan memberikan
putaran lain dari stimulus moneter "sesegera mungkin" kecuali ekonomi
membaik, dikatakan hasil pertemuan bank sentral AS tersebut.
Pertanyaannya adalah apakah Fed akan mempertimbangkan data ekonomi baru-baru ini yang menunjukkan perbaikan ekonomi. Angka-angka terbaru tersebut menunjukkan penjualan kembali rumah AS yang meningkat pada bulan Juli, menunjukkan adanya sebuah pemulihan yang lambat di pasar perumahan.
Fokus Investor Eropa Sepanjang Pekan
Samaras diharapkan dapat menggolkan proposal kabinet Yunani untuk
mendapatkan kelonggaran waktu untuk mengimplementasikan reformasi fiskal
selama dua tahun. Namun penundaan selama dua tahun dari Yunani juga
akan mengimplikasikan kebutuhan dana sebesar 20 milyar dari tempat
lainnya, kemungkinan berasal dari IMF.
Diplomasi minggu ini masih membuka harapan terhadap sebuah terobosan
baru terkait krisis utang zona euro, karena selain rapat Juncker di
Athena. Besok, para pemimpin Perancis dan Jerman juga akan bertemu di
Berlin yang disusul kunjungan Samaras ke Berlin dan Paris. Kebanyakan
analis masih skeptis, karena Yunani belum mampu menunjukkan beberapa
kredibilitas terhadap Uni Eropa bahwa negara tersebut bisa menerapkan
kebijakan fiskal yang memberikan reformasi secara struktural.
Dari sisi makroekonomi,
Jerman melelang surat utang obligasi bertenor 2-tahun senilai 5 milyar
Euro, pada yield nol setara dengan harga obligasi Jerman di pasar
sekunder. Di samping itu, para investor masih menunggu laporan PMI
manufaktur Eropa yang dirilis besok. Laporan PMI diperkirakan masih
lemah, sehingga Euro masih diekspektasikan mengalami resesi teknikal di
Q3 2012.
Fed Aktif Diskusikan QE3
Data ekonomi telah stabil sejak 1 Agustus, tapi itu sama sekali tidak jelas bahwa perbaikan data ekonomi telah cukup "substansial" untuk mencegah tindakan lebih lanjut oleh Fed. Sementara itu bahasa di minutes tersebut belum tentu bahwa Fed berkomitmen untuk QE3, minutes menunjukkan bahwa Fed cenderung untuk bertindak pada pertemuan 12 dan 13 September. Dalam jargon FOMC, istilah "banyak anggota" biasanya menunjukkan mayoritas dari 12 anggota komite yang menjalankan kebijakan moneter AS.
Emas Terdorong Setelah Fed Minutes
"Tidak akan ada ledakan sampai setelah Fed," katanya. Emas juga
terkonsolidasi setelah rally pada hari selasa, terangkat dengan baik
setelah semua hal dipertimbangkan, dan terlihat tetap dekat di kisaran
perdagangan antara $ 1.660 sampai $ 1.670 per ons, katanya. Setelah
dirilisnya minutes Federal Open Market Committee, Emas diperdagangkan lebih tinggi. Minutes menunjukkan Federal Reserve AS dekat dengan putaran baru untuk pembelian obligasi.

Fundamental Analysis, August 21st, 2012
Euro edges up but vulnerable in thin summer trade
The euro edged higher against the dollar on Monday in quiet summer trade as uncertainty about the scope of possible European Central Bank action to contain the region's debt crisis had investors wary of placing large bets. Speculation the ECB will restart its bond-buying program to bring down the borrowing costs of Spain and Italy has helped the euro rise from an over two-year low of $1.2040 hit in late July, but the single currency has been highly susceptible to bouts of selling since then.
The euro earlier slipped after the ECB brushed aside a report in Germany's Der Spiegel magazine that it was considering setting yield thresholds for any moves to buy the bonds of the euro zone's struggling sovereign debtors.
The euro rose 0.1 percent to $1.2342, nearer to the session peak of $1.2368 than the session low of $1.2293 , though it stayed within the $1.2240-1.2450 trading range seen in recent weeks.
Against the yen, the euro fell 0.1 percent to 97.96 yen , but it hovered near a six-week high of 98.40 yen hit on Friday.
The dollar was down 0.2 percent at 79.38 yen , after having hit a five-week high of 79.66 yen in early Asian trade. Despite the recent move, analysts said the dollar should continue to gain from improvements in U.S. economic data that have lifted Treasury debt yields.
Wall St flat after rally; Apple biggest company ever
U.S. stocks were flat on Monday on signs of fatigue after a six-week run of gains as the European Central Bank quelled speculation about the form of market intervention that may be taken to stem the region's debt crisis. Despite the lethargic trading, Apple Inc shares hit a new high, becoming the most valuable public company of all time, with the combined value of its shares exceeding a previous record set by Microsoft. Shares closed up 2.6 percent to $665.15.
The S&P 500 remains close to a four-year high, rising nearly 5 percent in the past six weeks. Investors had been waiting for the ECB to take steps to control the euro crisis in September. Last week, the index broke away from the 1,400 level where it had stalled for much of August.
German magazine Der Spiegel said over the weekend the ECB is considering setting interest rate thresholds for any purchases of a struggling euro zone country's bonds. A bank spokesman said it was misleading to report on decisions that still had not been taken.
Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, also reiterated its opposition to bond purchases. A spokesman for the German Finance Ministry said it was not aware of any plans for the ECB to target bond spreads. Facebook Inc shares briefly fell more than 50 percent from its issue price to hit a new low of $18.75. The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> shed 3.48 points, or 0.03 percent, to 13,271.72. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> dipped 0.07 points, or 0.00 percent, to 1,418.09. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> lost 0.38 points, or 0.01 percent, to 3,076.21.
Platinum hits 2-month high on S.Africa supply fear
Platinum prices jumped nearly 2 percent on Monday, hitting a two-month high after deadly violence at a mine in top producer South Africa triggered heavy speculative buying on supply worries. Bullion prices edged up as trading volume for U.S. gold futures was on track to hit a 2012 low, while silver jumped almost 3 percent as platinum's rally triggered short-covering.
Investors bought platinum on worries that mines in South Africa may produce less of the metal after 44 people were killed during a strike at the Marikana mine owned by Lonmin , which accounts for 12 percent of global platinum output. The metal soared 7 percent in the past three sessions, bringing its year-to-date gain to 7 percent, which means platinum has outperformed gold, silver and copper so far in 2012.
Spot gold was down 0.3 percent at $1,620.74 an ounce by 3:03 p.m. EDT (1903 GMT).
U.S. December gold futures for December delivery settled up $3.60 an ounce at $1,623.
Oil Holds Near Three-Month High as Europe Discusses Debt
Oil in New York was little changed near a three-month high amid concern that European leaders will fail to calm the region’s sovereign debt crisis and as the dollar slipped against the euro. Futures fell for the first time in five days after Germany’s Bundesbank stepped up criticism of the European Central Bank’s plan to embark on potentially â€Å“unlimited†government bond purchases. Europe’s leaders plan a week of shuttle diplomacy to help resolve the situation. The dollar weakened against the euro for the second time in three days.
â€Å“The market is rather listless,†said Addison Armstrong, director of market research at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. â€Å“There’s not any news that’s going to move the market strongly in either direction. Crude oil for September delivery fell 4 cents to settle at $95.97 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In intraday trading, the contract reached $96.53, the highest level since May 11. September oil expires tomorrow. The more actively traded October contract declined 6 cents to $96.26.
Brent oil for October
settlement dropped 1 cent to settle at $113.70 on the London-based ICE
Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark grade̢۪s premium to
West Texas Intermediate crude traded in New York rose 5 cents to $17.44.
Nikkei seen rangebound after 3-month high amid ECB uncertainty
Nikkei seen rangebound after 3-month high amid ECB uncertainty
Japan's Nikkei share average is expected to tread in range on Tuesday after hitting a three-month high the previous day, as the European Central Bank quashed speculation about the form of its bond-buying programme to combat the region's debt crisis.
Expectations that the ECB would take bold action to tackle the euro zone sovereign debt crisis have helped the Nikkei rebound 10 percent from a seven-week low touched on July 25. The Nikkei is up 8.5 percent so far this year.
But the market is still awaiting further details of the ECB's plans, and there are signs of fatigue after the sharp run-up. U.S. stocks were flat overnight, although Apple Inc shares hit a new high, becoming the most valuable public company of all time.
The Nikkei <.N225> is likely to trade between 9,150 and 9,250, strategists said. Nikkei futures in Chicago <0#NIY:> closed at 9,190 on Monday, unchanged from the Osaka close. On Monday, the benchmark inched up 0.1 percent to 9,171.16, hitting a three-month closing high for the second straight session and breaking above its 26-week moving average at 9,150.04. The broader Topix <.TOPX> slipped 0.2 percent to 764.66 in thin trade on Monday, with the fourth lowest volume this year.
Seoul shares seen steady; ECB coy on intervention
Seoul shares are expected to start little changed on Tuesday, with investors awaiting further clues about any action from the European Central Bank (ECB) to ease the region's fiscal crisis. An ECB spokesman downplayed reports from German magazine Der Spiegel that the bank was planning to set a cap on bond yields above which it would buy government debt issued by member states. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) <.KS11> ticked 0.01 percent lower to close at 1,946.31 points on Monday.
Expectations that the ECB will step in to ease crippling borrowing costs in Spain and Italy have taken the KOSPI to a string of three-month highs in August, until signs of fatigue brought the rally to a halt since last Friday.
Hong Kong shares seen higher, CNOOC, Belle earnings eyed
Hong Kong shares may edge up on Tuesday, but gains are seen capped at resistance that have bounded the Hang Seng Index for the past two weeks, with investors' focus likely trained mainly on corporate earnings, Chinese oil giant CNOOC Ltd <0883.HK>, China-focused footwear distributor Belle International <1880.HK> and China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group <1101.HK> are among companies expected to post their second-quarter results.
On Monday, the Hang Seng Index <.HSI> edged down 0.06 percent to 20,104.27, paring midday losses to return above the 20,000-point level. Chart resistance is seen at around 20,300, which has capped gains on the benchmark index for more than two weeks.
Turnover neared 2012 lows, but short selling interest stayed high. Shorts accounted for 11 percent of total turnover on Monday, above the historical 8 percent average. Elsewhere in Asia, Japan's Nikkei <.N225> was down 0.1 percent, while South Korea's KOSPI <.KS11> was up 0.4 percent at 0045 GMT.

Emas Stabil Terkait Ketidakpastian ECB
Emas Mencapai Level Tertinggi Sejak Pertengahan Juni
"Pasar yang overbought dapat dengan mudah mendapatkan lebih banyak overbought
sebelum mereka turun," kata Adam Sarhan, CEO Sarhan Capital. Penguatan
platinum sebagai momentum untuk pembelian kelompok logam, setelah
platinum naik ke level tertinggi dalam dua bulan terakhir dan ini
menguatkan nilai kelompok logam, Sarhan menambahkan. Deutsche Bank
mengatakan dalam sebuah catatannya, bahwa pasar platinum diperkirakan
surplus untuk 2012 "dapat terhapus dengan mudah" jika masih terjadi
kekerasan tenaga kerja di Lonmin atau jika kerusuhan menyebar ke tambang
lainnya.
Bank Sentral Russia Tambah Cadangan Devisa Emas
Optimisme Pasar Picu Emas Berkilau
Sentimen kian menguat setelah Jerman melalui Kanselir Jerman Angela Merkel mendukung sepenuhnya atas langkah ECB
dalam memerangi krisis hutang di blok Eropa tersebut. Dukungan Merkel
terhadap ECB-Draghi tersebut menambah optimisme pasar dan membangkitkan
harapan bahwa pemimpin di Eropa akan menemukan solusi krisis, sehingga
otomatis memicu aksi beli aset beresiko.
Namun demikian nasib emas
sebagaian besar tergantung pada sikap sejumlah bank sentral dunia
terhadap pelonggaran moneter tambahan, terutama seiring anjloknya
permintaan fisik global, terutama di India dan Cina. Harga Emas kini
terpantau cukup kuat pada kisaran $1618.30/troy ons setelah mencatat
level rendah harian pada $1616.43.
Terkait Aksi Mogok Lonmin, Emas Stabil
Investor masih mengamati pemogokan di Afrika Selatan dari Lonmin, produsen platinum no.3 dunia, di mana 44 orang tewas dalam kekerasan yang berlangsung selama sepekan.
Pekerja yang mogok menghadapi pemecatan jika mereka tidak kembali bekerja pada hari Senin, dikatakan juru bicara perusahaan tersebut. Para hedge fund dan fund manager mengurangi posisi mereka di emas berjangka dan option emas untuk minggu kedua berturut-turut, karena investor mengurangi perkiraan bullish mereka karena keraguan atas stimulus moneter oleh Federal Reserve.
Sentimen konsumen AS membaik pada awal Agustus ke level tertinggi dalam tiga bulan karena membaiknya retail sales disana dan suku bunga KPR yang rendah mendorong para warga Amerika untuk meningkatkan rencana pembelian mereka, ditunjukkan sebuah survei, Jumat.
