| Action Insight Daily Report 4-11-18 | | Dollar Stays Weak as Focus Turns to US CPI and FOMC Minutes | In the currency markets, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar remain the strongest one for the week even though they are paring some gains in Asian session. Canadian Dollar outshines the others with the help of surge in oil prices. Dollar and Yen remain the weakest two for the week. For today, focus will now turn to UK production data in European session first. US CPI and FOMC minutes will take center stage later in the day. |  | USD/CAD Daily Outlook Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2554; (P) 1.2631; (R1) 1.2674; More.... USD/CAD's decline from 1.3124 accelerated to as low as 1.2587 so far, just ahead of 61.8% retracement of 1.2246 to 1.3124 at 1.2581. Intraday bias remains on the downside for deeper decline. The corrective rise from 1.2061 should have completed with three waves up to 1.3124. Break of 1.2581 will pave the way back to 1.2061/2246 support zone. On the upside, above 1.2687 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first. But near term outlook will remain bearish as long as 1.2814 support turned resistance holds. |  | | GMT | Ccy | Events | Actual | Forecast | Previous | Revised | | 23:50 | JPY | Machine Orders M/M Feb | 2.10% | -2.50% | 8.20% | | | 23:50 | JPY | Domestic CGPI Y/Y Mar | 2.10% | 2.00% | 2.50% | | | 0:30 | AUD | Westpac Consumer Confidence Apr | -0.60% | | 0.20% | | | 1:30 | CNY | CPI Y/Y Mar | 2.10% | 2.60% | 2.90% | | | 1:30 | CNY | PPI Y/Y Mar | 3.10% | 3.30% | 3.70% | | | 8:30 | GBP | Visible Trade Balance (GBP) Feb | | -11.9B | -12.3B | | | 8:30 | GBP | Industrial Production M/M Feb | | 0.40% | 1.30% | | | 8:30 | GBP | Industrial Production Y/Y Feb | | 2.90% | 1.60% | | | 8:30 | GBP | Manufacturing Production M/M Feb | | 0.20% | 0.10% | | | 8:30 | GBP | Manufacturing Production Y/Y Feb | | 3.30% | 2.70% | | | 8:30 | GBP | Construction Output M/M Feb | | 0.70% | -3.40% | | | 11:00 | GBP | NIESR GDP Estimate Mar | | 0.30% | 0.30% | | | 12:30 | USD | CPI M/M Mar | | 0.00% | 0.20% | | | 12:30 | USD | CPI Y/Y Mar | | 2.40% | 2.20% | | | 12:30 | USD | CPI Core M/M Mar | | 0.20% | 0.20% | | | 12:30 | USD | CPI Core Y/Y Mar | | 2.10% | 1.80% | | | 14:30 | USD | Crude Oil Inventories | | | -4.6M | | | 18:00 | USD | Monthly Budget Statement Mar | | -175.0B | -215.2B | | | 18:00 | USD | FOMC Meeting Minutes | | | | | | | |
