American focus: dollar fell
The euro rose for a sixth day versus the yen, the longest run since March, as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the currency was irreversible and the ECB’s decision to start buying bonds helped ease tensions.
The 17-nation currency gained the most in almost three weeks versus the dollar after Draghi said the ECB was ready to start buying government bonds from nations such as Spain as soon as the necessary conditions are met.
The ECB is ready to undertake bond purchases under its plan known as Outright Monetary Transactions “once all the prerequisites are in place,” Draghi said at a press conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia. At last month’s conference, Draghi unveiled a program of unlimited debt buying to cap borrowing costs for debt-ridden nations.
The ECB left its benchmark rate at a record low of 0.75 percent.
Spain sold a combined 3.99 billion euros ($5.19 billion) of two-, three-and five-year notes today as investors debated whether the nation will ask for an international bailout. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy this week denied he has any immediate plans to do so.
The greenback stayed lower versus most major peers as claims for U.S. jobless benefits rose less than forecast, encouraging investors to buy higher- returning assets. U.S. Labor Department data showed applications for jobless benefits increased 4,000 to 367,000 in the week ended Sept. 29. A survey forecast 370,000 claims.
The pound strengthened versus the dollar after the Bank of England left its asset-purchase target at 375 billion pounds ($604 billion) at its monthly gathering. The central bank kept its main interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent.

In addition, growth was sustained performance of auctions of debt securities in Spain. As it became known, the country sold bonds worth 3.992 billion euros at the planned 3 billion - 4 billion.

Forex: Wednesday’s review
Yesterday the dollar rose against most of its major peers as investors seeking a refuge from signs of slower global growth ignored U.S. reports showing the service industries and private employment expanded more than forecast. Private employers in the U.S. increased payrolls by 162,000 workers in September following a revised 189,000 jump in August, figures from Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Employer Services showed. The median forecast of 38 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a 140,000 advance.
Australia’s dollar slid to the least in almost a month after the nation had its widest trade deficit since 2008 and data showed China’s services industry expanded the least in more than a year.
The euro was little changed versus the greenback after a report showed the region’s services and manufacturing shrank. A composite index based on a survey of euro-area services and manufacturing purchasing managers fell to 46.1 from 46.3 in August, London-based Markit Economics said. That’s above an initial estimate of 45.9 published on Sept. 20. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.

Asian session: The yen weakened

01:30 Australia Building Permits, y/y August -10.6% -14.3% -15.4%

The yen weakened against its 16 major peers on speculation central banks around the world will take more steps to avert a further slowdown in the economies, curbing demand for refuge assets. The Japanese currency fell to its lowest level in two weeks against the dollar as the Bank of Japan (8301) begins its two-day policy meeting today after expanding stimulus last month. The BOJ increased its asset-purchase program by 10 trillion yen ($127 billion) to 55 trillion yen at the previous meeting on Sept. 19, saying the economy’s pick-up was slowing while prices were flat.
Demand for the euro was supported before European Central Bank policy makers convene to discuss ways to contain the deepening fiscal turmoil in the region. The ECB is projected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record-low 0.75 percent today, a Bloomberg News survey shows. ECB President Mario Draghi unveiled a program of unlimited bond purchases last month to ease borrowing costs for debt-ridden nations, spurring a rally in the shared currency.
Gains in the euro were limited before Spain sells notes maturing in 2014, 2015 and 2017 today as investors weigh whether the indebted nation will ask for an international bailout. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy this week denied that he has immediate plans to seek assistance.
Demand for the dollar was limited before the Federal Reserve today publishes minutes of its Sept. 13 meeting, when it announced a third round of so-called quantitative easing that tends to debase the currency. The central bank will continue record stimulus even after economic expansion gains strength, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said this week.
Australia’s dollar earlier slid to a four-week low after data showed the nation’s retail sales rose by less than economists had expected. Retail sales in Australia advanced 0.2 percent in August from the previous month, when they dropped 0.8 percent, the statistics bureau said today in Sydney. Economists had forecast a 0.4 percent increase.
EUR/USD: during the Asian session, the pair rose to yesterday's high.
GBP/USD: during the Asian session, the pair restored to $1.6100.
USD/JPY: during the Asian session, the pair rose refreshing week's high of Y78.70.
UK data sees the release of the Halifax house price index at 0700GMT, followed by the release of the UK September New car and commercial vehicle registrations data at 0800GMT. Thursday sees the announcement of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee decision, at 1100GMT. At 1145GMT the ECB to announce interest rate decision is due, with no change in policy expected. However, the ECB's 1230GMT press call (policy meeting outside Frankfurt this month - in Llubjana, Slovenia) will of course be the key focus for the markets.
