Friday 02/03/2007

• US dollar rises on strong ISM data
• Sterling hopes of rate hike continue to fade
• FX traders take a step back as markets undergo transition
• Japan begins to see unwinding of massive carry trade positions
• Exotics take another hammering as yield seekers unwind
• Oil continues to trade higher

US Dollar:

The dollar was the primary beneficiary of yesterdays uncertain trade with manufacturing data much stronger
than expected. The dollar rallied in the afternoon session helped by the Treasury’s Henry Paulson gave his
support to US growth by telling markets he sees US growth as ‘healthy’ and that he sees wages rising, which
may add pressure to the upside of inflation outlook.
In addition to the strong data markets saw the usual flight to safety run with the stock markets getting plastered.
Investors cash out of high-risk, high-yield exotic positions and reinvest in relatively safe bets such as
US Government bonds. Heavy demand for the greenback adds support as funds join the buy side.

Pound:

A relatively benign day for sterling as data came in flat and traders paused for breath following the equity
market crash this week. With construction data scheduled as the only release for the day we should see a
fairly quiet day.
It is worth noting that despite futures markets predicting a rate hike in March, a survey by the white Times
sees only 9 of 64 economists polled seeing a March hike. In addition the BoE has NEVER raised rates in March
which may be an additional reason behind the drop in sterling.

Euro:

The Euro underwent a tough trading session yesterday as it dropped against both the pound and the dollar.
ECB officials yesterday warned of the risk posed by any unwinding of the yen carry trade following the rapid
appreciation of the Euro this year. This week’s reversal of the equity markets has prompted a small unwind in
the carry trade which has seen the Euro suffering as a result.

General News:

• This week the yen has climbed rapidly as we have seen an unwinding of the carry trade. Following the
stock market plunge investors seeking cheap money have realised risk and cashed out of the heavy
Japanese positions built up through 2006. As a result the demand for yen has risen adding support to
the beleaguered currency. The carry trade positions built up, specifically by leveraged hedge funds,
should not be underestimated as investors seem to have been blinded by the opportunity to borrow
cheap money without taking into account the risk of Japanese growth. Value still remains in the carry
trade however; US-Japanese yield remains at a little under 5%.
• Emerging markets suffered again as investors cashed out of higher risk positions and rushed back to
safer investments like gold and US bonds. As a result currencies such as the Swissie have seen a rapid
appreciation.
• Oil trades $62.01 on the back of increasing demand from the US.
