It seems that Australian dollar will continue its free fall
 
After the fateful decision of RBA to lower the benchmark interest rate by 0.25% points to the level of 3.5% of the Australian currency continued its decline against their counterparts to four-week low. 
This decline is primarily due to the probability of a further decline in interest rates and the change in the economic situation in China, to which Australia is in a close trade relations.
Further weakening of the Chinese economy may lead to a cycle of interest rate cuts RBA.
 
Activity in the services sector in Australia in September, continued to shrink. According to the index of business activity in the services of the Australian Industry Group / Commonwealth Bank index fell by 0.5 points to 41.9 points. Value below 50 indicates a drop in activity.
The continuing stagnation in the economy, it seems, will continue to put pressure on the national currency and, possibly, can be expected to decline in the short term to the minimum values of the beginning of September.
The single currency is consolidating amid the ongoing "struggle" of the Spanish authorities to the pressure that is on them has a market, the rating agencies and the ECB, together with the European Stability Fund, forcing the resort to financial aid.
 
Hard savings plan is good in Spain and even too good, but the markets have doubts on this point, which results in ongoing since the middle of last week, the pair Eurodollar consolidation.
 
Today we should pay attention to the statistics on employment of ADP from the U.S. and the index of business activity in the non-manufacturing sector of the ISM. Good short-term statistics will pressure the U.S. dollar.
 
Statistics today:
Moscow time
12.00 Eurozone Final data on the index of business activity in the service sector in September n / a; 46,0; 46,0

Events in Spain are dragging down the whole world economy
 
Spanish factor became a symbol of instability in the global crisis and replaced the Greece. 
The growth of protest moods and unwillingness of Madrid to have recourse to the financial support of the European Fund of stability and of the ECB, more and more destabilizing the situation.
An additional negative factors are the results of stress tests of national banks. "IFS audit" - independent audit showed that Spain's banking sector will require about 60 billion euros of additional funds to cope with the economic downturn. But thus the Spanish authorities have said they will ask for the help of banks, only 40 billion market participants believe that such aid is small and on this background, today the single currency continues to decline.
 
Despite evidence of an increase in business activity in the industry in China PMI in September from 49.2 to 49.8, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the problems in the Australian economy is continuing, which could lead to a reduction in business activity in the manufacturing sector. The business activity index fell from 1.2 points to 44.1 points. Value is below the level of 50 points, which shows the reduction of activity. A general picture of the economy could lead to further reduction in key interest rates.
Today investors will be focused on the speech Bernanke. Market participants want to hear the first results of a new program of quantitative easing. A major event of the week will be the publication of data on employment in the U.S., which will be published on Friday.
We can say in general that the picture of uncertainty will continue for some time yet and most likely, lateral trend in the forex market will continue.

A holy place is never empty
 
Spanish issue with great force swooped down on the world market, causing new concerns that the recession in the European economy burying the entire global economy. The growing political tension in Spain amid reluctance to resort to the financial assistance of the European Stability Fund and the ECB finally plunged into depression and investors forced to sell risky assets. If until recently bogey instability was Greece, it took place successfully Pyrenees republic.
Spanish unwillingness to take the financial assistance is clear, as it will in fact took of independence in the financial area from Madrid, that's why the prime-minister eclared that he would not ask for help until government bonds is not significantly increased. But the markets heard it completely "worked" to the premier, returning yield on 10-year government bonds to a higher level of 6%. Which points to the fact that Madrid will have to take care and wear the yoke of iron grip IMF.
Today, all eyes will be on view in Spain for the next budget year, and the GDP forecast from the Spanish government for the next year. Today, market participants will be expected to publish the results of stress tests of independent Spanish banks.
Start a debate about the effectiveness of QE 3, and Spanish events overshadowed the Fed's actions, which led to a decrease in the yield of 10-year bonds to the level of 1.63%, which fully reflects the concerns of investors.
 
Against the background of the tumultuous events of recent days, investor activity has fallen markedly, and the U.S. dollar were encouraged to grow along with the Japanese yen. But if the situation will be stabilized around Spain, and statistics from the eurozone and the U.S. will not be worse than expected, it could lead to a local weakening of the U.S. dollar and the increase in short-term tendency of investors to the risky game.

Greece again is in the spotlight

 

The Greek government continues to be between Scylla and Charybdis. On the one hand - it does not really want to reduce government spending, and on the other hand - they need to follow the economy plan. And now, once again, this bankrupt country expects foreign financial assistance and asks for a delay to achieve budget targets for two years.
 
"We estimate the funding gap that could be created if we get a two-year extension in the 13-15 billion euros," - said Finance Minister Yannis Sturnaras.
 
Despite these problems the market has not reacted to the news, which, although contain potential problems. Investors essentially speaking, the write off of Athens and do not pay any attention to it almost as Spain continues to be the focus.
 
Market participants are now beginning to focus their attention on the upcoming statistics from the U.S. labor market. Markets are now becoming interested in the impact of the next program of quantitative easing from the Fed. Effectiveness of QE 3 may increase the tendency of investors to the risky game and contribute to the growth of risky assets.
 
With such prospects dollar is likely to be in short-term pressure. Eurodollar pair receive local support after a small correction down amid ECB's failed plan about the financial support of Spain.
 
Today we should pay attention to the statistics from the U.S.. If they are not worse than the forecast, it will support a short-term increase in sales of the dollar.
