Ramon Ramirez Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The U.S. dollar has weakened against its Swiss rival during the morning of European trading after the mixed results in Germany and Switzerland Monday. After achieving a daily maximum in the region of 0.9801 earlier today, the pair has since fallen and is negotiating around the area of 0.9764 at the present. According to the recent reports out of Germany, Imports (MoM) and Exports (MoM) in May grew +6.3% (vs. a consensus of +1.3%) and 3.9% (vs. a consensus of +0.5%) respectively. The Trade Balance (May) gave a result of € 15.6B in May, against expectations of € 15.8. Finally, the index of Unemployment Rate in Switzerland yielded a figure of 2.7% in June, against forecasts of 2.9%. According to the technical analysts ICN.com, "Momentum indicators are trading in overbought areas and that might cause heavy volatility and possible downside corrections." Presently, the cross is falling -0.32% below its opening price level. The next short-term supports are located at 0.9750, 0.9700, and finally 0.9680. On the upside, a penetration of 0.9820 would expose the resistances of 0.9865 and 0.9900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
