USD

The USD opened on Monday (2/11) at 96.7, dropped from Friday (30/10) closing level at

97.00 as data showed worse-than-expected U.S. economic data. Personal spending increased

by 0.1% in October, below than expected at 0.2%. Moreover, Revised UoM consumer

sentiment fell to 90.0 in October, worse than expected at 92.6. At the beginning of the week,

the dollar moved in narrow range against its major peers as the investor awaited for any

movement. Meanwhile, the report showed mixed U.S. economic data. Manufacturing PMI

dropped to 50.1 in October from 50.2 in September. This is the slowest level of expansion in

a 180,000 rise. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate ticked down to 5.0% in October from 5.1%

the previous month, better than expected at 5.1%.

Source: Reuters Comments: In the week ahead, we expect the dollar will gained against its major peers after

the strong data added to expectations for the U.S. to raise interest rates. Meanwhile, market

will eye on import prices (10/11), initial jobless claims (12/11), FOMC member Dudley speaks

(12/11), FOMC member Evans speaks (12/11), Retail sales (13/11), PPI (13/11) and Prelim

UoM consumer sentiment (13/11). This week, the dollar index expect to move in a range of

98.25 – 100.00.

EUR & GBP

Last week, the euro opened at 1.1013/15 USD/EUR on Monday (2/11), having appreciated

from previous week closing level at 1.1005/07 USD/EUR after comments from ECB President

Mario Draghi and governing council member Ewald Nowotny. In separate newspaper interviews, both officials said a move by the ECB to expand its quantitative easing bond-buying program

and cut its deposit rate further in December was not a given and that any further stimulus measures remained open for discussion. The euro also was bolstered by data from the euro

zone which Markit's final manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index for the euro zone was at 52.3 last month, only slightly up from the September and preliminary October reading of 52.0.

However, the euro fell against the dollar on Wednesday (4/11) after comments from Federal

Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and better-than-expected U.S. data intensified bets that the U.S. central bank would raise interest rates next month. The euro hit 3 months low at 1.0832

USD/EUR on Thursday (5/11) after euro zone business growth remained tepid last month, with the European Central Bank's massive stimulus programme having little apparent impact on

economic activity or price pressures. The euro closed on Friday (6/11) at 1.0866/69 USD/EUR.

The pound sterling opened at 1.5449/51 USD/GBP on Monday (2/11), having appreciated from previous week closing level at 1.5428/30 USD/GBP. The pound rose on bets the Bank of

England could raise interest rates earlier than previously expected. On Wednesday (4/11), the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said that Britain's economy is likely

to grow slower than previously expected this year and next, after posting the fastest expansion

among major advanced economies last year. Gross domestic product should expand by 2.4 percent in 2015 and 2.3 percent in 2016, down slightly from August forecasts of 2.5 percent

growth this year and 2.4 percent growth in 2016. However, the pound fell against the dollar

after the Bank of England (BOE) kept rates unchanged at 0.5 percent and QE at GBP375bn, as

was widely expected.

Comments: The euro and pound are both expected to depreciate against dollar as comments from Federal Reserve officials reinforced a growing view that the U.S. central bank would hike

interest rates next month. Moreover, the Bank of England made no move towards an early

interest rate rise. The euro expects to be traded within a range of 1.0650-1.1000 USD/EUR and the pound sterling expects to be traded within a range of 1.4950 – 1.5200 USD/GBP.

AUD & NZD

The Australian dollar opened on last Monday (2/11) at 0.7117/19 USD/AUD slightly depreciated from the previous Friday closing level at 0.7137/39 USD/AUD. The aussie gained on

Monday (2/11) after the release of upbeat economic reports from Australia and China. The report showed that building approvals in the country increased by 2.2% in September, beating

expectations for a 2.0% gain while the data from China which is the biggest export partner

reported that the Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers’index rose to 48.3 in October from

47.2 the previous month, beating expectations for an uptick 47.5. The Aussie continued gained

on Tuesday (3/11) after the Reserve Bank of Australia held interest rate steady at a record low 2% after the prospects for an improvement in economic conditions had firmed a little over

recent months. However, RBA Governor Glenn Stevens signaled the possibility of further rate cuts in the future, if the outlook of inflation is not going as the expectation. On Wednesday

(4/11), the currency rose to one-week highs at 0.7222/24 USD/AUD after the retail sales rose in

September better than expectation and the trade deficit narrowed to 2.32 billion Australian dollar from 2.71 billion in August.However, the Aussie significantly dropped at the end of the

week and closed on Friday(6/11) at 0.7044/46 USD/AUD after a far stronger than expected U.S. jobs report(281k job added and 5.0% unemployment rate) reinforced expectations for a rate

hike by the Federal Reserve next month. The New Zealand dollar opened on last Monday (2/11) at 0.6762/64 USD/NZD continued

depreciating against dollar at the beginning of the week after very disappointed job data

released on Tuesday (3/11). The report showed that the number of employed people declined by 0.4% in the third quarter, confounding expectations for a 0.4% rise, after a 0.3% gain in the

three months to June while the unemployment rate ticked up to 6.0% in the three months to September from 5.9% in the second quarter. Moreover, at the end of the week, the kiwi

dropped to the one-month lowest level at 0.6495 USD/NZD on Friday (6/11) and closed at

0.6518/20 USD/NZD as the dollar rallied to seven-month highs against the other major currencies after the robust job data in U.S. paved the way for the Fed to raise interest rates at

its December meeting.

The yen opened on last Monday (2/11) at 120.47/49 JPY/USD, strengthened from previous week closing level on Friday (30/10) at 120.62/64 JPY/USD after the Bank of Japan (BoJ)

decided to leave the bank's policy target unchanged as expected on Friday (30/10). In addition, the yen gained as investors concerns over slowing growth in China, the world’s second-largest

economy, sapping risk appetite. Data on Monday (2/11) showed that China’s Caixin

manufacturing purchasing managers index edged up to 48.3 in October from 47.2 in September, but it was the eighth straight month that the index remained below 50, which is the

cut-off point between expansion and contraction. On Tuesday (3/11), the yen was little changed against the U.S. dollar as a market holiday in Japan. However, the yen weakened

against the U.S. dollar along the week after the release of strong U.S. employment and trade

balance data boosted optimism over the strength of the economy. Moreover, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said on Wednesday (4/11) that a December rate hike is a "live possibility," depending on

the data, supported the U.S. dollar gained against the major currencies. Moreover, on Friday (6/11), Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda warned that a deeper-than-expected

slowdown in China and other emerging economies was the biggest risk facing Japan's economic

outlook. Kuroda added that the BOJ will not hesitate to ease its monetary policy if necessary to support the economy, although he said Japan can hit the central bank's 2% inflation target

without additional stimulus for now. Also, the yen sharply depreciated against the U.S. dollar after the release of stronger than expected U.S. employment data on Friday (6/11), added to

expectations for a December rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Last week, the yen moved in a range of 120.24 – 123.26 JPY/USD before closed on Friday (6/11) at 123.13/15 JPY/USD.

Graph: JPY

Source: Reuters

Comments: This week, investors will focus on Japan’s current account and China inflation data, with reports on both the consumer and producer price index on Tuesday (10/11). Also,

Japan’s core machinery orders will be released on Thursday (12/11). We expect that this week the yen will move in a range between 122.50.-124.50 JPY/USD.

THB

The Baht opened on Monday (2/11) at 35.54/56 THB/USD, relatively the same level as

Friday’s close. The Baht traded in a narrow range during last week as investors waited for the U.S. payroll report which was due last Friday (6/11) for a sign of interest rate hike from Fed. On

Wednesday (4/11), the Baht strengthened by 0.4% to 35.47 a dollar as the equities climbed

0.8%, rising along with other Asian share markets, and after the Thailand’s central bank kept its

interest rate unchanged at 1.50% for the fourth straight meeting as it waits to assess whether

government stimulus spending will succeed in boosting weak local demand. Governor, Veerathai, signaled last time that monetary policy will play supportive role, but government

spending and investment will drive the recovery and the economy should start to see the full benefit of state stimulus next year. However, the central bank will include its assessment of the

stimulus spending when it announces revised economic forecasts at the next rate meeting in

December. During a week, the Baht moved between 35.44-35.60 THB/USD and closed on Friday (6/11) at 35.57/59 THB/USD.

On Friday night, the Baht traded lower to the level above 35.80 THB/USD following Asian currencies as U.S. jobs data came out better than expected, convincing investors to price in a

Fed rate increase in December.

Comments: The THB is expected to depreciate this week after the stronger-than-forecast U.S. jobs growth fans speculation of Fed policy tightening next month. The THB should move in
