China Open: Juan Martin del Potro powers on in Beijing as Grigor Dimitrov bows out

Juan Martin del Potro beat Russia's Karen Khachanov 6-4 7-6(4) to reach the quarter-finals of the China Open on Wednesday while Grigor Dimitrov lost to unseeded Dusan Lajovic 6-4 2-6 6-4.

Victory meant US Open finalist Del Potro has sealed qualification for next month's season-ending ATP Finals in London, joining Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

After cruising in the first set, Argentina's Del Potro faced a stern test in the next as Khachanov began to find his rhythm.

The Russian looked set to drag the contest into a decider but world number four Del Potro held his nerve in the tiebreak to close out the victory with an ace on match point.

Del Potro next takes on Serbia's Filip Krajinovic in the last eight after the Serbian overcame Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 7-6(5) 6-3. Del Potro beat Krajinovic in their only previous meeting in Miami earlier this season.

Krajinovic's compatriot Lajovic took advantage of Dimitrov's inconsistent serving to knock the world number eight out of the tournament in an hour and 50 minutes.

"The first set was hard to play because we had a shadow on the court... in the end it was a dog fight," Lajovic said after his second win over a top-10 player.

The 28-year-old Serbian next meets fifth seed Kyle Edmund after the Briton overcame Italy's Matteo Berrettini 7-5 6-7(2) 7-5 in a tightly contested match lasting nearly three hours.

EUR/USD steadies above 1.15, looks to close 6th straight day in red

· *Italian budget crisis **continue** to weigh on the shared currency.*
· *Strong macroeconomic data releases from the U.S. **boost** the demand for USD.*
· *Retail sales in the euro area decline in August.*

After staging a technical recovery during the early Asian session Wednesday, the EUR/USD pair came under selling pressure, once again, as the shared currency struggled to find demand amid concerns over the Italian budget crisis and disappointing macroeconomic data releases. After extending its losses toward the critical 1.15 mark in the first half of the NA session, the pair has gone into a consolidation phase and was last seen trading at 1.1520, where it was down 0.22% on a daily basis.

Today, the Eurostat announced that retail sales contracted by 0.2% on a monthly basis in August. Furthermore, the IHS Markit's non-manufacturing PMI readings for both Germany and the euro area fell short of the market expectations to weigh on the euro. In the meantime, Italy's deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio announced that the government confirmed the 2019 budget deficit target at 2.4%. Responding to this development, European Affairs Minister Pierre Moscovici repeated that Italy's deficit target was risking breaking the EU rules. 

On the other hand, the data from the U.S. confirmed the underlying strength of the economy. The ADP's monthly report revealed that private sector employment grew by 230K in September following August's 163K growth and the Services PMI figures released by the ISM and the IHS Markit came in above analysts' estimates to suggest health activity in the sector. Below is FXStreet Senior Analysts Joseph Trevisani's assessment of today's data:



The healthy growth in ADP  employment will keep expectations intact for a robust September employment report on Friday with expectations reaching beyond the 188,000 consensus forecast.    

The service sector continues to drive the U.S. economy to new heights. Record levels of business optimism combined with the very strong ADP report, point to a further acceleration in the already robust job market in Friday's payroll report.



With today's data out of the way, markets are now focused on FOMC Chairman Powell's speech later in the session. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index is up 0.26% on the day at 95.73.

*Technical levels to consider*

With a decisive break below 1.1500 (psychological level/100-WMA), the EUR/USD pair could continue to edge lower toward 1.1390 (Aug. 20 low) and 1.1330 (Aug. 14 low). On the upside, resistances are located at 1.1590 (daily high), 1.1640 (100-DMA) and 1.1720 (Sep. 14 high).

TRT World Forum 2018 Debates Future of EU

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The former President of Afghanistan today delivered a critique on the United States’ track record on fighting terrorism in his country.

Hamid Karzai told the TRT World Forum in Istanbul: “America’s stated objective of defeating terrorism did not happen. It faltered. The consequences of that failure are tragic for the Afghan people.

“Massive human loss, 17 years on, every day we have people killed; just yesterday we had 26 people killed in Eastern Afghanistan in an election rally.

“In consequence, as well as the massive loss of life daily, we have the rise of terrorist and extremist groups. Now we have Al Qaeda, we have Daesh in Afghanistan which is turning out to be a menace for the region.”

The opening sessions of the *TRT World Forum 2018*, in Istanbul, also highlighted the impact of threats and upheavals, such as Brexit, the Greek financial crisis and the rise of populism as exemplified by the recent election in Italy, on the future of the European Union.

*Former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Franco Frattini* said, “We see a huge gap between the narrative of Brussels that ‘everything is OK’ and the reality in my country.” He said that “austerity measures have prevented investment” and that “issues regarding immigration have been depicted as isolationist, in turn, giving an explanation for the recent election results.”

Referring to the UK referendum, *Former Turkish Minister of EU Affairs, Volkan Bozkır *said, “It was just one question, ‘shall we be in or out?’ and nobody actually understood what they would lose, how much it would cost and the prospects for the UK after leaving the EU.”

The *TRT World Forum 2018, *recognised as one of the most significant political events of the the year, started today in Istanbul with the theme *“Envisioning Peace & Security in a Fragmented World. *

AUD/JPY: risk rally capped, so far, by descending tend line making double top hourly highs

0
0
· *AUD/JPY is currently trading at 81.55 having made a high of 81.92 and a low of 81.32 as the yen weakens across the board and the DXY tops out at the key 95.70. *
· *AUD/JPY is commonly known as the FX space's risk barometer that will strengthen in times of improved risk appetite and vice versa. *

Markets in the US have been positive which has helped in the case for the bulls but the main catalyst was the break of the 114 handle in USD/JPY and broad-based dollar strength yet again - despite a collapse in the Aussie that dropped to the 76.4% fibo target.  

*Risk Fundamentals*

There is a fair bit that goes into the fundamentals of the cross currently, from trade wars between the US and China are unlikely to find a resolve at any time in the near future - (The IMF are indeed concerned about the impact of these ongoing trade wars. It may even revise down its forecast for world growth when it updates its World Economic Outlook on October 9th)

Also, USMCA risk also still factors that the market is still not completely factoring in for it may not even get through Congress this year let alone next, depending on the midterm elections results on 6th November, which in itself is a risk for markets that is lurking just around the corner). 

Add European politics such as Brexit, Greece and Italy, it is clear that uncertainty is here to stay and that should keep the yen underpinned and a fade on rallies might be the long-term way to go, despite the divergence between central banks that plays in favour of EUR/JPY and USD/JPY. AUD/JPY is unlikely to catch such a bid considering the RBA - that despite managed to give off a modestly upbeat tone this week, it still indicated that it is in no rush to hike rates and is on the air of caution around China and world growth, in general, that will negatively impact its own economy. Add in China's already slowing growth, the AUD probably still has lower to go within this five-year downtrend that started from the highs of 1.0500's made back in March 2013. 

*AUD/JPY (USD/JPY and AUD/USD) levels*

USD/JPY has rallied to a high of 114.31 which is a 50% fibo measured by the fibo expansion tool from the 112.56 26th Sep low to the high of 30th Sep high at 114.06. On a continuation, bulls can target the 2017 high at 114.74, where analysts at Commerzbank suspect that it may fail. However, there could be room to gravitate a little further towards knock out options with upside strikes that will be located at 115 the figure before a major correction might take place.

Indeed, the risk rally was capped by the descending tend line, and the price is making double top hourly highs. However, AUD/JPY has some room further to go on the upside if USD/JPY pops to the 115 handle, especially should AUD/USD now correct in a mean reversion of the recent steep decline from 0.7315 25th Sep highs.  A 50% retracement would take the pair back to 0.72 handle. However, given the distance from the aforementioned highs that the pair has travelled, a correction on profit-taking would likely only reach as far as somewhere between 0.7173/00 (23.6% & 38.2% fib of 0.7129/0.7315). The effect on AUD/JPY leaves the cross destined to a range between 82.50 and 81.04. 81.82 is the pivot ahead of 82.27 R1. S1 is located at 81.17 while the cross is supported by the confluence of the 100-4hr SMA/26th Sep double bottom lows.  Reported by FXstreet.com 3 hours ago.
