Australian Credit data

Private Sector Credit for June + 0.2 %m/m + 2.8 % y/y from 0.5 % m/m in May versus expectations of 0.4 % m/m

Housing Credit in June + 0.4 % m/m + 8.2 % y/y from + 0.7 % m/m in May

Other Personal Credit in June 0.3 % m/m + 3.1 % y/y from + 0.4 % m/m in May

Business Credit in June 0% m/m 5.0 % y/y from + 0.4 % m/m in May

Housing credit rose in June as a result in an increase in lending to both owner-occupiers and investors. Private credit weakened in June as consumers reacted to higher interest rates and wary of the economic recovery.

Aussie has steadily weakened throughout the session with traders taking risk off as is usually athe case ahead of the weekend. The Aussie was unchanged after the credit data at 0.8980/84.

In Thread: JPY
An Official from the Democratic Party of Japan says the strong Yen should not be controlled by intervention but by an easing in monetary policy.

Dollar Yen on his comments has dropped from 86.72/75 to 86.50/53 and the Euro Yen is now below 113.00 at 112.89/92.

Will JPY strengthen from here ?

This week, US data and the European bank stress test results stole most of the headlines. Canada has quietly seen their currency strengthen towards the lower part of its' recent range. Tuesday saw an increase of 25 basis points on their overnight rate. Canadian Retail Sales and Consumer Price Index printed below expectations, but the currency benefited from the stabilization of commodities. While the outlook for future rate hikes is dismal, the Canadian economy is significantly in a better position than the US.Written by censored. USDCAD strength can continue towards 1.02.

In Thread: CHF
CHF Bias: bullish

Given their own ties to the EU, the Swiss released their own bank stress test results for their own largest banks. Test criteria & results supposed to be better. We havent seen details, though they could hardly be worse.

Given the paucity of CHF specific events, the Swissies continues to move with higher with risk aversion, thus the dubious EU banks stress tests should ultimately benefit the CHF, though it would likely lose ground to the safer, less EU-sensitive JPY and USD.

Support for the USDCHF holding above 1.0479, for the EURCHF above 1.3255
