Intra-day Market Moving News and Views

USD/JPY - ...... Dlr remained under pressure in Tuesday's trading in Europe on Tuesday and weakened to session lows of 120.72 after a surprisingly large drop in U.S. existing home sales (Nov's 10.5% fall represents the steep decline in 5 years).
However, gain in the Dow prompted renewed yen-selling, lifting the pair back up to 121.10 right at New York close.
With Japanese financial markets closed today for Emperor's birthday, narrow moves in the dlr majors are expected until European open.
However, pay attention to release of a slew of U.S. data later today, especially November durable goods data at 13:30GMT, street forecast is looking for a 0.6% drop following previous month's reading of 2.9%, a worse-than-expected reading would trigger more dlr selling.
For now, bids are noted at 120.80-70 and more below (possibly from Japanese importers) with stops building below December's low at 120.35. On the upside, initial offers are reported at 121.10/20 and more at 121.30/40 with stops above 121.50.
Data to be released on Wednesday:
New Zealand imports, exports, trade balance, U.K. nationwide house price, GDP, current account, France GDP, consumer spending, Swiss KOF indicator, Italy industrial sales, industrial order, retail sales, U.S. mortgage applications, build permits, consumption, PCE, durable goods, personal income, personal consumption, new home sales, Reuters/ University of Michigan consumer sentiment index, Canada GDP and retail sales.
