COMMENTARY: Euro-dollar moves lower again to test our initial support level, the daily Bollinger band base at $1.3026. Daily studies are bearish while weekly studies are flat. Further support seen around $1.2985/87/94, the 50.0% of $1.2662-1.3308, a Jul 24 support line and the 55-DMA. Bulls will try to test the former May 1 trendline as resistance, seen at $1.3078.

COMMENTARY: Eurostoxx still trades just below the Jan 7 high, initial resistance at 2714.2 alongside the daily Bollinger band top at 2723.2. Bulls are looking to break above here and challenge further resistance, seen at 2748.2, the 3.00% MA envelope. Daily studies remain flat and slow stochastic study is in overbought territory. Initial support seen at 2653.9/2666.0, the 21-DMA and Nov 16 Channel lower. Jan 10, 1:00

JAPAN STOCKS CLOSE: Japan's Nikkei 225 ended the session higher, again helped by the weaker yen. The Nikkei was higher by 74.07 points, or 0.7%, at 10652.64. Jan 10, 0:46

FOREX: The greenback is trading higher across the board in Asian trade Thursday, as the yen again weakens on fresh speculation of BOJ easing action at its next policy meeting. Dollar-yen rallied to a session high at Y88.22, as press commentary in Japan says the BOJ is set to ease. Offers at Y88.25/30 capped gains initially, but traders note solid upside pressure could soon help a spike higher as London trade gets underway. Euro-dollar was tied to a narrow $1.3040 to $1.30654 trading range, last at $1.3045, as the market largely marks time ahead of the ECB rate decision and Draghi press conference. Jan 10, 0:45

DATA REACT: BofA Merrill Lynch economist Lu Ting said following release of central bank data:" Robust system-wide credit growth lends support to our view that GDP growth could rebound to 7.8% yoy in 4Q12 and 8.3% in 1H13 from 7.4% in 3Q. We expect Beijing to sustain the current policy stance which could be featured as marginally pro-growth without big-bang stimulus in 1H13. Significant incremental easing is unlikely and we may see some unwinding of previous credit easing in 2H13 on concerns of economic overheating, rising inflation and insufficient regulations on shadow banking. It's even likely for Beijing to tighten credit supply on the margin in 2H13 to rein in investment boom of new local govt officials who tend to ramp up FAI after leadership transition. That's part of the reason why we expect a below-consensus GDP growth in 2H13 at 8.0%." Lu said they expect new loan of CNY9 trillion this year, up from CNY8.2 trillion in 2012, expecting no rate cuts or hikes but some chance for reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cuts depending on FX flows.

EUROPEAN STOCKS: Major European bourses are initially seen trading lower Monday. Spreadbetters Cantor Index are calling the FTSE down 8, the DAX down 8 and theCAC down 10.Jan 10, 0:32

GERMANY: The latest opinion polls show support for German Chancellor Merkel and her CDU/CSU party is currently at the highest level since becoming Chancellor in 2005, the FT reports. Jan 10, 0:25

UK PRESS: Another dark day for the UK's high street Wednesday, as photographic retailer Jessops collapsed into administration, the Telegraph notes.
