CURRENCIES – Daily Outlook


Dollar drops vs yen as U.S. Treasury yields slide; Aussie slumps
The dollar fell against the yen on Tuesday for a
fifth straight session, undermined by a persistent
drop in U.S. Treasury yields, which analysts say
reflects uncertainty about global growth
prospects.
The greenback could decline further against the
yen if the Bank of Japan does not expand its asset
purchase program. On Wednesday, the Japanese
central bank is widely expected to keep its policy
unchanged at a two-day meeting, but the market
will be focused on BoJ Governor Haruhiko
Kuroda's news conference.
"Kuroda may continue to highlight an improved
outlook for the Japanese economy, and it seems
as though the BoJ will carry its current
(monetary) policy into the second half of the
year," said David Song, current analyst at DailyFX,
a unit of FX broker FXCM in New York.
"That said, dollar/yen no longer looks like a one-way trade as the BoJ softens its dovish tone for monetary policy, and a
greater deviation in the policy outlook may trigger a further decline in the exchange rate," he said.
The Australian dollar, meanwhile, fell to a two-week low against the greenback, hurt by a slide in prices of iron ore, the
country's biggest export earner.
But gains in the U.S. dollar against the Australian currency failed to give the greenback a lift against the yen, which has been
on a five-day winning streak as U.S. Treasury yields have softened in four of the last six sessions.
In late trading, the dollar fell 0.2 percent to 101.29 yen. The pair also traded below its 200-day moving average - a key
technical gauge - for a second straight day.
"The strong correlation between dollar/yen and Treasury yields continue to be the main driver," said Joe Manimbo, senior
market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington. "Part of that is due to renewed concerns about the health
of the global economy."
Investors have voiced concern about the U.S. housing sector, which could dampen growth in the world's largest economy.
They are also worried about China's economic outlook, a major driver of the Aussie dollar.
Late on Tuesday, the Australian currency slid 0.8 percent to US$0.9254, after earlier dropping to US$0.9251, its lowest since
May 5.
The Aussie has recovered solidly from lows reached in late January, but worries over the pace of growth in China continue to
weigh broadly on its outlook and Reserve Bank deputy governor Guy Debelle said potentially slower capital inflows to
Australia pointed to more weakness.
The euro, meanwhile, slipped 0.1 percent against the dollar to $1.3698.
The euro zone currency could face more of a headwind ahead of potentially destabilizing European Parliament elections this
week, where votes for anti-austerity, euroskeptic parties look set to increase. Expectations of imminent easing from the
European Central Bank have also weighed on the euro's outlook. (Source Reuters, Research – @nikolasprasetia)

PRECIOUS METAL – Daily Outlook

Platinum firms on strike action, gold holds near $1,290/oz


Platinum group metals rose on
Tuesday as South Africa's longest
and costliest miners' strike ground
on, while gold edged up as gains in
the dollar held it near key chart
support.
Platinum gained in intraday trade
after refiner Johnson Matthey said it
believed the deficit in the platinum
market will expand to 1.218 million
ounces this year, its largest shortfall
in a data series going back to 1975.
Spot platinum was up 0.1 percent at
$1,464.75 an ounce by 3:51 p.m. EDT
(1951 GMT). Earlier, it hit a high of
$1,476.30, not far from last week's
peak of $1,483.50, its strongest since
early March.
U.S. NYMEX platinum contract for
July delivery settled down $1.30 at
$1,468.90 an ounce,
underperforming spot.
Despite recent strength, platinum is struggling to break higher on the back of the miners' strike in top platinum producer
South Africa, source of around three-quarters of world supply, as the availability of above-ground stocks curbs gains.
"While palladium is in an uptrend, platinum is still stuck in a sideways trading pattern. $1,490 seems to be too much of a
challenge at this stage," Saxo Bank's head of commodities research Ole Hansen said.
The four-month action against Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum and Lonmin, has disrupted 40 percent of platinum
output and could cost 1 million ounces of production this year.
The strikes turned violent this month, with four miners killed as more employees tried to report for work, ignoring calls by the
union to continue protesting.
Palladium rose 1.2 percent to $821.90 an ounce.
Palladium holdings of exchange-traded funds hit record highs after an 8,000-ounce inflow into Standard Bank's
AfricaPalladium fund on Monday.
Gold, meanwhile, remained near $1,290 an ounce as the dollar index rose 0.1 percent and an industry report showed demand
in major consumers China and India fell in the first quarter.
Spot gold edged up 0.2 percent to $1,294.29 an ounce, while U.S. gold futures for June delivery settled up 80 cents at
$1,294.60 per ounce.
The World Gold Council said on Tuesday consumer gold demand in the world's biggest buyer China fell 18 percent to 263.2
tonnes, with Chinese demand for gold coins and bars down 55 percent in the first quarter, offset only partially by a 10 percent
rise in jewellery offtake.
Indian consumer demand was down by just over a quarter to 190.3 tonnes, although a drop in sales from bullion-backed
investment funds kept overall demand steady.
Among other precious metals, spot silver edged up 0.2 percent at $19.36 an ounce.

OIL – Daily Outlook

Brent rises on Libya, pulls U.S. oil up despite stocks


Brent rose modestly on Tuesday
supported by instability in Libya,
pulling U.S. oil for July delivery
higher in spite of expectations for an
increase in domestic stockpiles.
The El Feel and El Shahara oilfields in
western Libya were still shut more
than a week after the government
said protests there were over, an
official said, and output was flat at
210,000 barrels a day.
Violence among rival militias and an
attack on parliament on Sunday by
armed men claiming loyalty to
retired Major General Khalifa Haftar
led French oil major Total SA to cut
its presence in Tripoli and Algerian
state energy company Sonatrach
began evacuating workers.
The movement by Haftar may signal
an attempt to draw up a broader anti-Islamist front that risks a wider battle in the North African state, which is
trying to boost oil exports crucial to the economy.
U.S. commercial crude stockpiles likely surged to their highest in more than 20 years, a Reuters poll found.
Brent crude settled 32 cents higher at $109.69 a barrel. U.S. crude for June delivery, which expired Tuesday,
settled 17 cents lower at $102.44, after hitting its highest price in nearly one month on Monday. U.S. crude for July
delivery settled 22 cents up at $102.33 a barrel.
"I think we are worried about Libya, but it seems that the market wasn't ever convinced it would be a reliable
supplier and that's why you're not seeing any major follow through moves higher after the initial spike up on
Monday," said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago.
RECORD-HIGH U.S. STOCKS
A Reuters poll found U.S. commercial crude stocks were expected be up by 800,000 barrels in the week to May 16,
while gasoline stocks likely rose 100,000 barrels and refinery runs were up 0.6 percent.
U.S. crude stocks rose in the week to May 9, with inventories rising 947,000 barrels as production hit a 28-year
high of 8.43 million barrels per day, according to data from the EIA.
A report released after the settlement by the industry group the American Petroleum Institute showed an
unexpected drop in crude stocks of 10.3 million barrels. The report lent support to U.S. crude futures for July,
which extended gains in post-settlement trading.
The more closely watched EIA data will come out Wednesday at 14.30 GMT (21.30 WIB).
This weekend marks the start of the U.S. summer driving season with Monday's Memorial Day holiday.
Ukraine is set to hold presidential elections Sunday. A senior Russian official said the vote risks deepening divisions
absent any "road map" to end the crisis. (Source Reuters, Research – @nikolasprasetia)
