Fx Daily Report CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANKING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2015 ECONOMIC RELEASE Believe it or not!!! Belgium's royal family has apologized to members of the public who were sent official cards that wrongly appeared to announce the death of King Philippe's mother. 150 people who sent letters of condolence on the death in December of Paola's sister-in-law Queen Fabiola received replies thanking them for their "comforting words following the death of Her Majesty Queen Paola". Paola, 77, is a blonde Italian princess who has long brought a dash of glamour to the Belgian royal house. She has played a less public role since her husband abdicated in favor of their son Philippe in 2013. Queen Fabiola, the Spanish widow of Albert's late brother King Baudouin, died on Dec.5 aged 86!!

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS SUPPORT SPOT ∆ RESISTANCE COMMENTS EUR/USD The German's rejection of a debt haircut for Greece had limited the short covering EUR/USD 1.1240 - 1.1460 1.1465 1.06% 1.1617 - 1.1874 USD/JPY 115.80 - 116.59 117.25 0.04% 117.36 - 118.24 GBP/USD 1.5109 - 1.5269 1.5335 0.89% 1.5607 - 1.5869 USD/CHF 0.8962 - 0.9175 0.9235 -0.05% 0.9302 - 0.9544 bounce and shifted some of the focus to today's US jobs report. A weak result will likely end the pair consolidation phase and push it higher; otherwise the 1.1240/1.1460 will carry on as Greek situation remain a key factor till the Feb. 28 aid deadline!!! USD/JPY Another solid US payroll reading coupled with a possible rebound in a wage growth may revive the view of an early FED rate hike. In addition, hopes for an EU-Greek debt deal are still alive discouraging the pair push down. 116.50/119 is expected to hold for the coming session where we keep on buying near the lower boundary using a stop at 116. Good Luck! GBP/USD inched higher clearing the 1.5269 as better than expected UK data boosted the bullish sentiment and increased bets for a rate hike in 2016. As for today, we prefer to trade 1.5250/1.5450 while using stops on boundaries awaiting a clearer view. USD/CHF is holding well above 0.9175 as the SNB is keeping the EUR/CHF buying strategy intact AROUND THE WORLD CURRENCY COUNTRY INTERBANK RATES RATE ∆ USD / LBP 1510.00 0.00% AUD / USD 0.7835 0.75% USD / CAD 1.2428 -1.09% USD / BRL 0.13% USD / SAR 2.7450 3.6730 3.7535 USD / KWD 0.2960 0.34% USD / JOD 0.7095 0.00% USD / AED XAU GOLD XAG SILVER WTI OIL in order to weaken its currency.
