Currencies

EUR/USD The dollar traded at almost its
lowest level this month as the U.S. weighs a plan to confiscate
Syrian chemical weapons that may diffuse a potential military
strike, reducing demand for haven assets.

The yen dropped 0.7 percent to 132.85 per euro after sliding to the weakest
since May 22. Japan’s currency fell 0.7 percent to 100.27 per dollar after
depreciating to the least since July 25. The euro was little changed at $1.3248.

breach key resistance levels after rallying twice last month
from about 89 cents, forming a so-called double-bottom base,
according to Junichi Ishikawa, a Tokyo-based analyst at IG
Markets Securities Ltd. The currency traded at 92.57 U.S. cents
as of 4:50 p.m. in Sydney.

The Aussie, the world’s fifth-most-traded currency, reached
a three-year low of 88.48 cents on Aug. 5. Its 8.1 percent drop

It touched 94.66 yen, the highest since August 2008, before trading at 93.83, 0.8 percent below the close in New York. New Zealand’s currency, known as the kiwi, lost 0.3 percent to 84.05 U.S. cents. It slid 0.9 percent to 74.75 yen after earlier reaching 75.53, the strongest since September 2008.

USD/JPY The yen rose against all of its 16 major peers after comments by Japan’s economy minister stoked speculation the nation won’t try to spur further weakness in its currency.

consuming nation.

earnings potential.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.4 percent to 286.01 at the close in London, for the longest stretch of losses in four weeks. The equity benchmark dropped last week amid the highest valuation in 11 quarters and concern that quickening inflation in China will limit the scope for economic stimulus.

USD 15:30 (GMT) Core CPI m/m 0.2% 1.1%
Currencies

EUR/USD The euro’s 8.4 percent gain against the U.S. dollar in the past six months is posing a fresh threat to the European economy just as it shows signs of escaping the debt crisis, said Jean-Claude Juncker, who leads the group of euro-area finance ministers.
The European currency dropped as much as 0.9 percent after Juncker’s comments, the biggest intraday decline since Jan. 3. The euro traded at $1.3306 at 5 p.m. New York time, down 0.6 percent. It touched an intraday high of $1.3404 on Jan. 14, the strongest since Feb. 29, 2012.

USD/JPY The yen headed for its biggest two- day gain in eight months amid speculation the Bank of Japan (8301) will fail to impress investors with extra policy measures at its Jan. 21-22 meeting.
The yen rose 0.7 percent to 88.16 per dollar as of 2:15
p.m. in Tokyo, following a 0.8 percent jump yesterday. It would
be the sharpest back-to-back gain since May 18. The Japanese
currency reached 89.67 on Jan. 14, a level unseen since June
2010. The euro slid 0.1 percent to $1.3289 after dropping 0.6
percent yesterday. It touched $1.3404 on Jan. 14, the strongest
since Feb. 29. The currency fell 0.9 percent to 117.14 yen.

USD/CAD The Canadian dollar weakened the most in six months against the yen on speculation the central bank may limit policies to devalue the currency after Japan’s economy minister said the country faces economic risks.
The Canadian dollar, called the loonie for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, was little changed at 98.43 cents per U.S. dollar at 5:07 p.m. in Toronto, after declining the most since Jan. 4. One loonie buys $1.0160.

Commodities

Oil traded near the lowest level in almost a week in New York after U.S. crude stockpiles increased and the World Bank cut its economic growth forecasts.
Crude for February delivery was at $93.51 a barrel, up 23 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 1:46 p.m. Singapore time. The contract declined 0.9 percent to $93.28 yesterday, the biggest drop since Dec. 21 and the lowest close since Jan. 9.
Brent for February settlement, which expires today, was up
37 cents at $110.67 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures
Europe exchange. The more active March contract rose 35 cents to
$109.98. The front-month European benchmark contract was at a
premium of $17.16 to WTI. It closed at $17.02 yesterday, the
narrowest spread since Sept. 19.

Gold advanced for a third day toward
a two-week high as expectations that global policy makers will
need to stimulate growth boosted demand for a store of value.
Platinum fell from the most expensive in three months.
Spot gold gained as much as 0.3 percent to $1,684.75 an ounce and traded at $1,682.45 at 12:48 p.m. in Singapore.

benchmark index heading for its first loss in three days, amid
signs markets are overbought. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average slid
by the most in eight months.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) slid 0.8 percent to 131.61 as of 3:03 p.m. Tokyo time, with almost three stocks falling for each that rose. The gauge has rallied since November after reports showed China’s economy is recovering and Japanese shares gained on speculation Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will pursue more aggressive policies to stimulate the world’s third-largest economy

European stocks were little changed as concern that debt-ceiling talks will harm the
U.S. economy and a report showing weaker-than-forecast German growth
offset Spain’s better-than-targeted sale of debt.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index (SXXP) lost less than 0.1 percent to 285.97 at the close of trading. The measure has still gained 2.3 percent since the start of the year after U.S. lawmakers agreed on a budget, avoiding tax increases and spending cuts that threatened to push the world’s biggest economy into a recession.

U.S stocks advanced, rebounding from earlier losses in the Standard & Poor’s
500 Index, as a rally in retail and transportation companies
overshadowed concern about discussions on raising the debt ceiling.

The S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent to 1,472.34 at 4 p.m. New York time, after falling as much as 0.5 percent earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 27.57 points, or 0.2 percent, to 13,534.89.

Japan’s currency gained 0.3 percent to 119.59 per euro, after sliding 0.8 percent last week. The dollar was little changed at $1.3324 per euro from its close on Jan. 18, when it advanced 0.4 percent.

GBP/USD The pound had its steepest weekly
drop against the dollar since June on concern the U.K. economy
is struggling to expand and as growing investor confidence in
the euro-area damps demand for the currency as a haven.

p.m. London time yesterday, after sliding to $1.5854, the lowest

pence per euro after depreciating to 83.95 pence, the weakest

The loonie fell 0.7 percent to 99.17 cents per U.S. dollar
this week in Toronto, the largest decline since the five days
ended Dec. 21. One loonie buys $1.0084.

crisis that threatens the region’s economy.

much as 36 cents to $95.20 a barrel in electronic trading on the

Gold advanced on expectations for
more stimulus while U.S. lawmakers wrangle over the country’s
debt limit. Silver traded near the highest level in a month and
was set for the longest rally in a year
Gold rallied for a 12th year in 2012 on global stimulus
measures. The Bank of Japan starts a two-day policy meeting
today, while European finance ministers meet in Brussels for the
first time this year. In the U.S., House Republicans will use a
planned Jan. 23 vote on a three-month debt-ceiling increase to
try to force Senate Democrats to adopt a budget to spell out
their spending plan.

Equities

Asian stocks fell amid
speculation shares may have risen too far, too fast. Japanese
shares led the retreat as the yen climbed against the dollar
after hitting its lowest level in 2 1/2 years.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slid 0.1 percent to 132.62 as
of 11:35 a.m. in Tokyo, with about four stocks falling for every
three that rose. The gauge rallied 11 percent from Nov. 14
through Jan. 18 as Japanese shares jumped on optimism Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe will pursue more aggressive stimulus
policies to boost the economy.

European stocks were little changed
this week as better-than-expected economic data from China and
the U.S. offset concern that debt-ceiling talks will weigh on
recovering growth in the world’s biggest economy.

The Stoxx 600 Europe Index fell less than 0.1 percent to 287.03 this week. The measure climbed to its highest level since February 2011 last week amid speculation that U.S. companies’ earnings would exceed analysts’ estimates.

U.S stocks rose for a third week,
driving benchmark indexes to five-year highs, as earnings from
companies including General Electric Co. and Goldman Sachs Group
Inc. beat estimates and debt-limit talks progressed.

The S&P 500 (SPX) rose 1 percent to 1,485.98, extending its 2013 advance to 4.2 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 161.27 points, or 1.2 percent, to 13,649.70. Both measures closed at their highest levels since December 2007.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index (SXXP) added 0.2 percent to 288.22 in London, as the number of shares rising and those falling were roughly even.
