South Korea Has $7.91 Billion Current Account Surplus
 
 

South Korea posted an unadjusted current account surplus of $7.91 billion in July, the Bank of Korea said on Thursday - remaining in the black for the 29th consecutive month. The headline figure is little changed from June's surplus of $7.92 billion. The goods account surplus widened to $6.86 billion, from $6.65 billion in the previous month. The services account deficit narrowed to $0.01 billion from $0.58 billion a month earlier as deficit on the use of intellectual property account improved, the bank said. The primary income account surplus narrowed to $1.49 billion from $2.23 billion in the previous month due to a substantial decrease in income on the equity account. The secondary income account recorded a deficit of $0.43 billion. The financial account recorded a net outflow of $5.92 billion, down from $9.84 billion in June. Direct investment recorded a net outflow of $1.01 billion down from $2.06 billion a month earlier, as residents' outward investment decreased. Portfolio investment recorded a net outflow of $1.74 billion, down from $4.22 billion in June, due primarily to a large net inflow of foreign investors' equity securities investment. Financial derivatives posted a net inflow of $0.50 billion. Other investment shifted to a net outflow of $0.34 billion, from a net inflow of $0.28 billion in the previous month due mostly to increased lending by domestic financial institutions. Reserve assets increased by $3.33 billion. Through the first seven months of 2014, the current account surplus is $47.1 billion.

UK Consumer Confidence Index Rebounds In August
 

An index measuring consumer confidence in the United Kingdom climbed back into positive territory in August with a score of +1, GfK said on Friday. That beat expectations for a score of -1 following the -2 reading in July. The August reading matched the nine-year high mark in June. "There is no guarantee how long this stable position will last - a rush of good or bad economic news could set off a marked rise or fall, but things could stay like this for a while," said Nick Moon, managing director of social research at GfK.

New Zealand Building Value Gains 1.0% In Q2

The value of all building in New Zealand added a seasonally adjusted 1.0 percent on quarter in the second quarter of 2014, Statistics New Zealand said on Wednesday. The unadjusted value of all building activity in Q2 was NZ$3.8 billion, including NZ$2.3 billion residential building work, and NZ$1.4 billion non-residential building work. The headline figure beat expectations for a flat reading on quarter following the downwardly revised 15.0 percent surge in the first quarter (originally 16.0 percent). Non-residential building activity volume climbed a seasonally adjusted 2.5 percent, while residential building activity was unchanged from last quarter. "The trend for all building activity has been generally rising for nearly three years, and is just 0.7 percent lower than the series high in the June 2005 quarter," said business indicators manager Neil Kelly. On a yearly basis, building activity grew most in Auckland and Canterbury regions this quarter. The non-residential buildings volume trend is now 19 percent higher than the most recent low point in the September 2013 quarter, the bureau said, and is just 1.3 percent lower than the series high eight years ago in the March 2006 quarter. Growth continues in the residential building volume trend; however, it is still 7.0 percent lower than the series high in the June 2004 quarter. The all buildings volume trend has been generally rising for 11 quarters, and is now just 0.7 percent lower than the series high in the June 2005 quarter.

UK House Price Balance Tumbles In August - RICS
 

The house price balance in the United Kingdom fell all the way to 40 percent in August, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said on Thursday. That was well shy of forecasts for 47 percent and down sharply from the downwardly revised 48 percent in July (originally 49 percent). In the London area, house prices were higher for a balance of nine percent of agents - slowing from 11 percent in the previous month. "Some of the momentum has come out of the housing market of late reflecting in part concerns over a likely rise in the cost of borrowing at some point in the not too distant future," said Simon Rubinsohn, RICS chief economist.

New Zealand Has NZ$2.0 Billion Current Account Deficit

 

 

New Zealand posted a seasonally adjusted current account deficit of NZ$2.0 billion in the second quarter of 2014, Statistics New Zealand said on Wednesday. That followed the downwardly revised NZ$0.6 billion shortfall (originally a surplus of NZ$1.407 billion). "The value of goods exports fell over a range of commodities, with dairy the most significant contributor this quarter," international statistics manager Jason Attewell said. Exports of goods fell NZ$1.1 billion. For the year ended June 2014, the current account deficit was NZ$5.8 billion (2.5 percent of GDP); it was 2.7 percent of GDP for the year ended March 2014, or NZ$6.0 billion. The latest deficit is $2.1 billion smaller than that for the year ended June 2013, which was 3.7 percent of GDP. New Zealand's net international liability position, which measures the value of our overseas assets less our overseas liabilities, was NZ$149.7 billion (65.3 percent of GDP) at 30 June 2014. The net liability position is now $1.4 billion smaller than at 31 March 2014 due to valuation changes, the statistics bureau said. "This is the smallest net liability position as a percentage of GDP in almost 13 years," Attewell said. New Zealand's external debt position increased $2.0 billion, to $142.3 billion (62.1 percent of GDP) in Q2.

New Zealand Consumer Confidence Slows In Q3
 
Consumer confidence in New Zealand took a bit of a hit in the third quarter of 2014, the latest survey from Westpac Bank revealed on Monday, with an index score of 116.7. That's down from 121.2 in the second quarter, although it remains comfortably above the line of 100 that separates optimism from pessimism. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's decision to hike its benchmark Official Cash Rate is seen as the catalyst for lagging confidence, the survey suggested. Among the individual components of the survey, the index for present conditions fell from 116.8 to 113.0, while the outlook dipped from 124.1 to 119.3.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical analysis
 
Technical outlook and chart setups: 
Gold had produced a doji yesterday around $1,213.00/15.00 levels. Potential indications from here are for a reversal or at least a pullback towards the $1,280.00 region (fibonacci 0.618 resistance of fall from $1,300.00 to $1,208.00). The metal needs to at least clear $1,240.00 levels to confirm, that bulls are ready to take control back. Immediate support is seen around $1,200.00 levels, followed by $1,180.00, while resistance is seen at $1,240.00, followed by $1,273.00 and higher up respectively. As seen here, the metal is in process to produce a morning star bullish reversal candlestick pattern. It is recommended to plan a long entry after the above signal is confirmed on the daily chart view. 
 
Trading recommendations: 
Remain flat for now. Looking to go long.

Business confidence in Australia was roughly unchanged in the third quarter of 2014, the latest survey from National Australia Bank revealed on Thursday, with a score of +6 - unchanged from the previous three months. The index for business conditions moved up to +3 from +1 in the second quarter, while the outlook for business conditions also inched higher - from +24 to +25. "Both consumers and business remain cautious about spending, despite encouragement from very low interest rates, which is unsurprising given slower rates of income growth," NAB said.

On the expenditure side, private consumption expanded 1.1 percent as expenditures on both semi-durable goods and services increased. Construction investment gained 2.9 percent, with increases in both building construction and civil engineering.

Exports contracted 2.6 percent, with decreases in exports of LCDs and chemical products. Imports also eased 0.7 percent, owing to declines in imports of machinery, natural gas and transport services. On the production side, manufacturing shrank 0.9 percent, mainly due to a decrease in electrical and electronic devices such as LCDs and smartphones. Electricity, gas and water supply climbed 4.7 percent, as the proportion of electricity generated by nuclear power with its low unit-generation costs increased. Construction advanced 1.8 percent, led by its expansion of civil engineering. Services gained 1.4 percent, as wholesale and retail trade, restaurants and hotels, transportation and storage, finance and insurance, and health and social work all increased. On a yearly basis, GDP jumped 3.2 percent, slowing from 3.5 percent in Q2 and 3.9 percent in the first quarter. Real gross domestic income added 0.3 percent on quarter and 2.9 percent on year.
