"A strong acceleration above 1.6415 is required then to confirm a bullish move, eyeing 1.6460 in the short term, while dips down to 1.6350 will likely be seen as buying opportunities."

OctaFX_Farid Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 USD/CAD flat-lining below 1.1100 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback keeps the trade within a very narrow range vs. the Canadian dollar in the equator of the week, relegating the USD/CAD to the 1.1060-80 range. USD/CAD eyes on 1.1100 The pair is extending the weekly recovery from Monday lows around 1.0930 to current levels in the 1.1070/80 band, although the 1.1100 barrier still remains elusive for USD bulls. Ahead in the day, US New Home Sales (430K exp. in August) and some Fedspeak could spark some volatility in the pair. In the view of Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities, “On the charts, a close above 1.1060 yesterday constitutes a positive signal and opens a retest on the low 1.11s, but we believe funds will move to the tune of the broader USD trends on the day, which suggest the pair will trade the 1.1030/1.1100 rangeâ€. USD/CAD key levels At the moment the pair is flat at 1.1078 with the next hurdle at 1.1084 (high Sep.23) ahead of 1.1100 (high Sep.15) and finally 1.1106 (high Mar.27). On the downside, a break below 1.0994 (Tenkan Sen) would open the door to 1.0986 (low Sep.23) and then 1.0955 (Kijun Sen).

OctaFX_Farid Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 BoE's Carney: Time for rate hikes drawing near FXStreet (Åódź) - As expected, BoE governor Mark Carney signalled in his speech at the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries General Insurance Conference in Wales, that an interest rate hike was drawing near, but failed to give any more details, only adding that the move would be data dependent. Once the rises start they will be limited and carried out in a gradual manner, the BoE head stressed. "Headwinds facing the economy are likely to take some time to die down," he pointed out. "Demand in our major export markets remains muted. Public balance sheet repair is ongoing. And a highly indebted private sector is likely to be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates." Carney assured however that the BoE is conscious of risks stemming from a prolonged period of low rates, especially for the housing and financial markets. As far as the UK insurance sector is concerned, the BoE will update regulation in order to be able to discipline insurance executives and actuaries in case of misconduct, such as it had been made possible in the banking sector. Following the comments GBP/USD climbed through the 1.6300 level to 1.6330.

OctaFX_Farid Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 USD/JPY extends gains above 109.00 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback is now resuming its upside vs. the Japanese currency, pushing USD/JPY beyond the 109.00 handle and challenging session highs at the same time. USD/JPY higher post data, looks to US The JPY lost further momentum after the inflation figures in the Japanese economy showed results in general in line with market expectations, with the critical National CPI ex-Fresh Food advancing at an annual rate of 3.1%, pointing to some stabilization in the inflation. Ahead in the day, the US GDP annualized is due ahead of the Reuters/Michigan index, being the potential drivers for the pair’s price action throughout the rest of the session. “August CPI numbers were flat to softer than prior expectations and any resultant and heightened expectations for further BOJ initiatives may keep the JPY structurally vulnerable. In the near term however, potential risk aversion may serve to underpin the JPY within a 108.00-109.00 corridorâ€, suggested Emmanuel Ng, FX Strategist at OCBC Bank. USD/JPY levels to consider As of writing the pair is up 0.33% at 109.11 and a breakout of 109.37 (high Sep.25) would expose 109.46 (2014 high Sep.18) and finally 109.57 (high Aug.29 2008). On the flip side, the initial support lines up at 108.47 (low Sep.26) ahead of 108.46 (low Sep.24) and then 108.25 (low Sep.23).
